#zfold5
Those S pen prices are too high! As expensive as the Fold 5 is, an S pen should be included.
I chose the S Pen Pro over the Fold Edition because the S pen Pro has Bluetooth functionality just like the regular S pens found in Galaxy Note/S series phones. I care about having the Bluetooth functionality because I'm a pretty avid S Pen user and when I do use the S Pen, I frequently use the different air actions/motion gestures to control features on apps and navigate the phone. Yea it's a bit inconvenient not being able to place it into the phone anymore or into the Z Fold 4/5 S pen cases but honestly it doesn't matter to me. It's a compromise I'm willing to deal with. The hardest choices require the strongest wills. I just stick the S Pen Pro in my pocket, the same pocket I carry my phone in. Whenever I want to use the S Pen; Take the S Pen Pro out of my pocket, take the Fold4 out, unfold it, boom that's it. Same for when I'm done with it; fold up the Fold 4, put it in my pocket, put the S Pen Pro in my pocket, done. Also it's not like I used the pen literally every single time when I had my my Note20 Ultra and I think the same can be said for a lot of avid S pen users. I used it at least four to five days every week but I only used it a few times within a single day. It's the convenience I'm now losing but again, it's a compromise I'm willing to accept and deal with. Finally, I know for sure I've ended up preferring the larger S Pen Pro over the small and thin standard pen. The S Pen Pro being longer and more rounded makes It more comfortable to hold and use for longer periods of time. Honestly, using the S Pen Pro with the Z Fold4 is pretty much the Galaxy Note experience but better. The larger pen combined with the larger display with so much more screen area for writing, drawing, etc has been such a better experience for me than it already was with my Note20 Ultra. Within the 11 months I've had the Fold4/S Pen Pro, I certainly now use the S Pen even more than I already was with the Note20 Ultra. I literally use it 98% of the time I use the phone. Also I never feel any dip when writing across the crease of the Fold4 so that's a plus. Obviously it's your decision whether to get the S Pen Pro or get the fold edition pen for the convienence of storing it in a case. I just thought I would at least share how I've transitioned my S Pen experience going from a Note to Fold. Just throwing out an option to consider.
Thx for your thoughts!!!
Ive been waiting your transition video😂
Needed this video! Thanks a lot!
This is the biggest disappointment that I have with my Fold 5. I upgraded from Note 9. The S Pen came with it and the phone has a slot to keep the pen. Also, I was able to take photos with the S Pen and it was really useful. The Pen was really thin as well. Samsung could have just added the S Pen with the Fold 5 :(
Im sorry to break it to you my man but the real world doesn't work like that. You can't just will things into existence. This is not a regular phone, it's truly high frontier tech stuff, that hinge takes a lot of space in the inside of the phone. They'd have to sacrifice something else to fit it, like battery. I think they got a great solution with that case, I just haven't gotten mine yet because since I plan to write a lot idk if I should go for the bigger pens, but then I loose on portability.. I'll loose that 100$ pen if I just leave it hanging in my pockets 😭 anyone's got good advice on that? Ive never had an s pen so idk how the small one feels for writing.
Maybe the fold 6 or 7 comes with it
@@channelMasterGuiGame At a cost. Get a case that holds the pen, no big deal and doesn't need a battery (big plus)
@@channelMasterGuiGame I am a Fold 5 user and I personally bought 2 S pen slim. The only reason why I do that is I keep one with my case so I never forget to bring it with me and one on my working desk. So one travel pen, one desk pen. The bluetooth functions are not necessary to me. As an old school Note series user, I am glad I did not pick up the habit of air command, as I have seen how ridiculous it looks when some Harry Potters were waving it like a wand during lectures. However, that size does look like it's pretty nice to hold. I might get it as my desk pen if I have the spare money. Conclusion: If you are only going to have one pen, make it the one you can put in the case because the best pen is the one that you have with you.
@@channelMasterGuiGame nahh. The guy is right for the price of this phone they could have just added it for an extra 10 or $20 as compensation add on. The fact that this phone opens up like a tablet you should be able to take notes like if it was a tablet, simple. And they don't even have to make the pain fit into the phone they could have just added it on the side. Shit with a price this thing cause they should just add a slim thin case that has a pen holder already. This literally would cost them nothing to add those things. And sorry I'm not going to give a multibillion-dollar company some empathy on this they CAN do it. ( FYI my rebuttal also counts towards apples stingy consumer practices that make no sense )
Thank you!! Really needed this question answered!!
I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL FOR THE FIRST TIME. AND YOU JUST SAVED ME $100. THANKS, MAN. SUBSCRIBED.
Bless you, you did a great job because I've been running around on Google trying to figure out a pen for my fold because this is the first time I've even a fold. Now with your video I realize I was trying to buy the same S pen that would come in the case.
Lin^ same. All be good be nice to colour in bit of fun and so much better on the eyes ,,,just learn something new once a week . That we find useful. A lovely 😍 phone 📱
Love the way your voice fits in the video. Its very calming and helps me understand your videos
Oh my God! Just got my phone and thought the pens were the same and you in detail answered my question. Thank you! You're awesome!
Really great video. I feel well informed on my options. Keep up the great work.
Thx
Straight to the point. Thank you!
Excellent review and description of the different stylus for the fold series. 👏🏼
Awesome vid thanks! Which S Pen let's you write notes without switching screen on?
Great video!!! I didn't even know they had a S-Pen Pro. That's something i am going to look into.
S Pen Creator Edition coming out later this year or early next year I think. Don't know if it will have Fold compatibility though.
Thanks mate that did answer any concerns I had prior to purchasing a Z Fold 5
Thank you been on the fence about getting the pen now I know Which one to get
A plethora? Bruh, you got three pens!
You got me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@TheAverageTechGuy you got got, son!
To be fair, for a single phone 3 pens IS excessive/an overabundance so plethora is still correct
@@AVAROPENA-wm2co Well at least we know you can count. That's a start
@@MrsFrizzleGaveMeLSD And knowing is half the battle...
Hey, bro, when you use the gestures. You got a point at the receiver which is at the top right hand corner. About inch away from it, you'll see the little grid hidden in the screen.
Excellent Video ! Thank you
Picked up an Spen Pro comes next week. Did you have to do any intial setups on your zfold5 for Bluetooth stuff to work? Or everything works out of the box?
Got my ZF5 through the pre-order and have been consuming these videos because they are so helpful. One thing someone mentioned was don't press the slim s-pen too hard on the inner screen because it might leave a mark since the tip doesn't retract. Can anyone speak to this from experience? I'd rather not find out the hard way😅 Great video thanks for posting 💯
I don't press down with any of them due to that screen being fragile
@@TheAverageTechGuy Do you take notes on your Fold? I personally love taking hand written notes on my Tab S7 and was looking at consolidating my phone and tab to a Fold 5. I'm not stabbing the screen when I write but will obviously be gently pressing against the screen. Has anyone had any issues with that with what they would consider "normal" pressure?
@@Hellkite422 I took handwritten notes for a whole day at a convention with my Z Fold 4. No issues
handwritten for whole day by which pen？s pen pro or fold pen?
@@yanchiwong9513 I use the fold pen. It does not have the retractable tip.
4:06 All of those features work with any of the Fold-compatible S Pens. The only features limited to the S Pen Pro are those under the Air Actions menu.
So the s pen pro is the only capaple of doing air gestures? Not even the pen included in S ultra series can do that?
@@mikeraptorh6888correct
Thank you. I have been waiting for a video on this exact topic!!!!
question: does the slim s-pen (for z fold5) work properly in samsung notes on tab s8 or s9?
I own both exept the pro one. Thanks for the explanation.
Thank you for the video but I'm gravitated towards the standard Spen on the fold 3/4. The fold 5 and S23 Ultra Spen is just too small, it dosn't give me the comfort to write like I would write with a wooden pencil on paper. I have the Note 20 Ultra but planning to upgrade to the Z fold 5 during Black Friday deals! I like the compact size of the Z fold 3's standard black Spen. Not really interested in the pro edition because I barely use the Air actions on my Note 20 Ultra which I've owned since mid 2021.
I'm also looking at upgrading my Note 20 to a Fold 5, I think the only thing I will actually miss is the ability to take pictures with the pen.
@@Hellkite422 I've changed my mind, going for the S23 Ultra now because the Z fold 5 is not the same for a £1800.00 price tag in the Uk.
Love the Splatoon cover on the Flip5
So I have the s pen pro and the fold edition from last year. Honestly, I love the pro model. Is the Fold 5 pen worth it, really? Besides, my new spigen case holds the new size. Thanks again!
Great video!! Where's that wallpaper from?!!
Thx. An app called wallstory
In Hk there is a 50% discount for s pen pen pro, so that is is much cheaper than fold 5 pen. should 1 buy s pen pro for usage in fold 5? For Spen pro can I use remote function eg take photo, when I use the small screen?
Thank you for the informative video. Is there any aftermarket Fold 5 case for the Fold 5 which can hold the Spen Pro? As far as i know, subject to correction, Samsung doesn't have one. Thank you.
Thx for watching. As to my knowledge there is no 3rd party case ready yet
Thanks for such a useful video Now I know which one I should buy
Is s pen pro 2 coming in near future? Since there is a 50% discount for spen pro in HK
I bought the Pro with the F3 for $69.99 (sale). It never saw the light of day since so the battery is dead.
As far as the big s spen, the Bluetooth one, does it fit in those fold 5 cases that can hold s pens? I'm not talking about the Samsung brand case with that skinny pen. I'm talking like spigen, etc that can hold s pens on its slot on sides or slot under hinge protector
I've yet to see one that does.
Thanks 👍🙏👏 I HOPE Samsung gave this info regarding SPen - I would have certainly bought the PRO ! Now I'm STUCK with the normal 😢 hoping I had bought the Pro 😷
didn't see you tried those air gestures using the small black pen and the greenish one, what if they can?
They said other s pen will damage the screen. I m afraid to use other sPen on my fold 5
does the s pen pro cause palm rejection? most apps still pick up my finger when annotating while using the thin s pen (from the z fold 5 case). Thanks!
6:44 which app's music widget are u using ?
hope the fold 6 has the pen intergrated inside the phone like the ultra and note series.
Can I use my note 10’s s pen with f5? I lost the new one
I appreciate the info bro. But does the pro pen work when the phone is closed?
No
God I love how you pronounce the word "pen" genuinely
What about note 20ultra or s23 ultra s pen?those won't work on z fold 5?
How do you charge the Pro?
What about the S Pen from Galaxy S Ultra series?
nice case👍
You know what would be cool if the S Pen Pro had a mic
Wish the Cellular companies actually Went into detail about the pens like this! VZ sales rep said NOTHING. Thank you so much
do any of these pens work with the front screen?
No. Unfortunately the z fold lineup simply doesn't allow for front/cover screen interactions with ANY pen...only the for the inner display. Hopefully it will be available on the fold 6
Disappointed that mine worked for about a month then stopped working altogether on my Fold 5. Researching, lots of people having the same issues.
Will the fold edition stylus and it's brothers work with galaxy tab S 6 , 7, 8, 9 series tablets as a spare stylus. I want to buy a thin one.
It will just no Bluetooth capabilities
Does the new Slim S Pen also with older generations of the Fold? Because it advertised as a Fold 5 Product only. On the side I would still like to use it because for my taste I find the Fold Edition and the Pro a little Bit too thick.
The Slim one does work on older models
Thanks for the informative video Do you think the S pen pro might provide a better studying experience for someone who studies for 12hrs a day? Does it worth the price?
Yes, go with the pro
Thank you so much for these details, i spent hours to find action commands with case pen but i dont know why! Now i find out action comands comes only with s pen pro😢, Samsung Stuipeds and cheaters paid alot of money for mobile and case with pen and i cant take photos with s pen 😢
is there a case for the fold 5 that houses the s pen pro?
No
I see the JW App and I upvote
I think that S Pen Pro has added features for editing photos and videos other two lens do not do. That's why I bought it. The gesture thing is a gimmick I couldn't care less about.
Anyone know if the s pen pro will work on the Remarkable 2?
Nope
just imagine case with pen that can charge s pen with battery thru back coil of the phone :D to have same features like ultra or pro pen xD xD, I just hope smaller pro pen which can be stored in spigen case and its BT and you can charger it via back of the phone. daaamn thas would be useful.
The S-Pen Pro has quite a few negative reviews on Samsung's website... some might say a plethora 😉
Besides being neon ugly, the slim pen is easily damaged, as I found out 5 seconds after trying to put it back into the case. It also does not work consistently with my Tab S8 Ultra. So I have to use two Samsung stylii, not including my Apple Pen and a generic rubber-tipped stylus. Four damn stylus pens. It seems too difficult for companies to cooperate and come up with a standard stylus and simultaneously reduce waste
Is the Bluetooth one compatible with the z fold 4
Yes
I hope you can answer this question because i am not sure what s pen edition you were using. There is S pen edition and there is s pen fold5 edition. I want to know if the s pen edition (non-fold5) works with fold 5.
It has to specify Fold to work with any Fold. If not you will get a error on the screen
@@TheAverageTechGuy yeah the other s pen fold edition that is like 49 USD. I guess the better question this time is that the s pen fold5 edition means the slim that fits on the new cover? 😅 and the older s pen fold edition the non slim version and works with fold 5 too?, right?
Thank you for your video! Do you know if the s pen that came with my Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 will work on the new S Fold5?
No it won't
These are the only ones that will work
Thanks for the video. To be honest, I wish they would find some way to integrate the S-Pen into the hinge of the Z Fold somehow.
Why would you risk the functionality and operation of the hinge to hold a pen 😂
Good video, bruh.
Which Pen is Future proof to buy ? Hope to use it on the Future Fold 6,7,8...
Pro
@@TheAverageTechGuy Thanks
can the yellow s-pen use air command?
Yes
For picture taking i just ùse my watch 6 classic
Thanks bruh…nice video…although I’m sad…I’m about to upgrade from a note 20 to a Z fold 5…And with your video I just found out i’ll have to buy the s pen pro. I can’t deal without the remote I need it so bad for my meetings and for pictures. Maaan 100$ and next year i’ll find out Z6 will have a Bluetooth s pen 😂😂😢😢😢
Will the pro S pen scratch the plastic z fold screen?
See you got that Norman Conners Starship
Why does the slim pen have a button? What does it do?
It activates Air actions. Easy shortcuts that allow for easier productivity.
Can the s pen pro work on the front screen?
No
Will the S-Pen pro work on the front screen?
Sorry, no
Just ordered a pro from Amazon today @ $67.99
Fold 5 must have as same as S24U features including all S pen functions.
Can you tell me if the spen works on both the inside and outside screen?
None of them work on the outside screen.
There is no pen that works on the outside screen. Samsung hasn't allowed it yet, even on the F5... Let's see if they finally allow it on the F6
I don't really care for air actions, but I hate the slimmer style s pens. So I guess I'll have to fork over a bill for a bigger s pen.
Been enjoying my S Pen Pro with my Z Fold5, way over the Slim S Pen, though latter is nicer when in bed with my phone. Been using the S Pen Pro since S21 Ultra, so Air Gestures and remote Bluetooth camera operation works flawlessly, and same experience with my new Z Fold5! Only downside, in regards to S Pen features, is that the Z Fold5 does not have S Pen support on the front screen. If I want to write on-screen memos whilst Always-On Display is on (aka screen is off), first I have to unfold the phone, switch the screen off, activate on-screen mode with any Fold compatible S Pen, pin the note, then close the phone. (I have used this feature religiously for grocery shopping for over three years via S21 Ultra, so need to adjust and get used to the Z Fold5 for a similar experience). Otherwise, love the fold-compatible S Pen experience on such a massive screen!
Should i go for pro or the one with the case? I want to write a lot and i never used an s pen but that thing looks really small to write properly, on the other hand having a loose pen $100 pen in my pockets will mowt likely result in me loosing itt. I also need a case asap so Idk what to do 😢 i plan on writing quite a bit on it btw
Ask Bixby to help out ! That's what I do. Fold 5 loving it. ❤️ I need to brush up.knowing a few things 😊 it's real nice 👌 🎉 buds and watch ⌚️ nice 👍
The phone doest have a pen???!!
It's their 5th generation of galaxy folds yet they didn't figured it out or I'd rather say not giving a proper sylo or house inside the actual folding phone itself. and it's annoying, annoying for me atleast, right now I'm on z fold 2 and still waiting for this very reason for me upgrading to what in my prospective should be like just i described. A true notebook slyle folding phone should be.
Same 😔
Quite funny that they don't bring the Bluetooth capabilities to the smaller s pens. S pens have had Bluetooth action since note 9 but they can't bring bring it to any normal sized pens for the folds, after all these years 😂
😂 welcome to America...home of capitalism
For $50 they should include the bluetooth feature
The Fold Edition S Pen does NOT work with other non-Fold devices . . .
Yes it does. I use it all the time on my S23. Check ya facts!!!
@@TheAverageTechGuy No it doesn't. Try drawing in Samsung Notes. Try using text select (this seems to work in some apps but not others where the standard S Pen worked fine). Try opening the Air Command menu.
@joon0 I stand corrected. It doesn't work fully, but it still works. It won't write but will navigate, erase, and you can use the doodle feature on pics.
The big question that it seems nobody is answering. If you have a fold 3 or 4 does the new slim spen works? If so i know they will eventually make aftermarket cases for them.
@streetzfpv the Slim pen works on the 3, and 4
None of them because they dont work on the front screen, get a rubber tipped stylus instead.
Thank you for the review. Samsung is not very forthcoming about the pen features. With your video I have confirmed that I will be losing the S-Pen photo taking capabilities that I have on my Galaxy S22. Not to mention the telephoto I have to give up if I were to trade my S22. I'd stick with my S22 and make arrangements to return the Fold5 that I ordered and received. I know, samsung cannot please everyone.
Anyone else hate that the colors of the pen don't match the phone I want a s pen I just want one that'll go with the white beige fold 5 color
The S Pen Pro should not be bigger than the phone. 😂
Your video is misleading huhu😢. I already have the slim spen case, i thought the z fold s pen is different, so i ordered it separately. But they are identical. 😢😢
my S pen pro wont even charge and it stay chill in 1% 💀
There's only 3 pen's there.
Y O
I hate the slim S-pen, so annoying to write with...
If you're not using S-Pen air actions that's just a waste of a pan
Not true. Some of the air actions can be gimmicky. Being that their fold is their daily driver, individuals have that pen so that they not down notes and information along with signing docs on the go or when need be....even just to browse the inner screen so that it doesn't get full of fingerprints.
You don't even know what a prethora is you only have three!
the s pen that comes in the zfold 5 case is useless. I don't take pictures or anything. just to write, i write with my finger.
Dude un deep your voice very hard to understand you all I'm hearing is errr and arhhhhh
