The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a great upgrade to what is already a good lineup of flip foldables. We're past the point of saying foldables are in their infancy -- and with the introduction of the Flex Window, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 might mark a maturation point for the category. Let's check it out with what worked (and what didn't) with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5.

I have a Z Flip 5 and love it! I love the compact design(I can fit it in my jeans pocket!), how customizable Samsung is, and for me the camera works great! Very happy with it and I've had it since launch day.
All these years of watching Joshua, I never knew he was ARMY! PS - I have this phone and love it so far.
I had the S22 ultra but traded in for the Z Flip 5. I have no regrets at all. I love this phone! I really like the fact that you can respond to a text message from the cover screen! So convenient! Keep up the great job on your videos! It's so informative and very helpful!!! Thank you!!
You still going strong with the ZF5?
@vambabyx I love this phone and probably will never go back to a full-size phone.
@@shel702 fab! I shall order mine now 🤗
I'm going through the same delimma as you, Have a S22 Ultra (2 years now+) and I'm looking to trade it in for a Z Flip 5.
Any Pro's and Con's for the ZF5? Tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm expecting for the battery to not be that good.
@kevin.p9726 The cons are cameras are not anywhere close to the S22 Ultra. In my opinion, the battery life is good. I really have no regrets switching to the Z flip 5! I love the fact that it flips! It's so convenient! Even when I'm grocery shopping, I use the cover screen to look at my list via Google Keep Notes. Even though you have to use Good Lock to add more apps to cover screen, it's so worth it! I don't think I'll ever switch back to that brick of a phone! So if you can live without 100x zoom and a high mega pixel camera. Then you will be fine! Hope this helps a little with your question.
It's so tempting to jump to a foldable, but the rest of my family is stuck in the Apple garden. It really makes me ponder double-carrying. Thanks for bringing back this series as I've appreciated the longer term review over the release week hype.
You miss out as much as you think I jumped ship
@@albertbolanos8794 Wdym? I'm switching from the iPhone 13 pro. Care to elaborate a little?
@@AnasKhan-ni9xx sorry I meant you don't miss out on as much as you think by switching. My family uses iPhones and I've been using iPhone since the 4s. I miss airdrop the most but it's been a easy transition.
@@albertbolanos8794 Thank you!
I am thinking of double carrying for the exact same reason
I Just switched from an iPhone 14 pro, and i am so happy with the change. it's such an amazing form factor, the carmeras are perfectly fine for what i use them for. So i cant complain!
I love the flip never really liked big phones I will be a flip user from now on unless I graduate to the fold. I was at my doctor's office and he had never seen any flip and he flipped for mine lol was impressed with the size and outer screen I think I sold him
I like my Z Flip, I got the yellow one too. 💛 Had a few Pixels, thought I wouldn't like Samsung apps, but I currently use many of them.
The fact that it's battery life is so much better than my old Z Flip 3 is enough for me. Thinking what's next for the Flip 6 or should I try the Fold 6 next
Shot in the dark here, but i've just come from Z flip 3 to 5. I used to enjoy the fact that with Goodlock/Multistar i could use Google wallet on Z flip 3 whilst folded, but on the Flip 5 it asks to open the phone...Has anybody found a work around?
I'm having a flip 3 and it's true that the battery life is just pathetic. Maybe I should get a flip 5 after this.
@@SeeDaRipper...Shocked to hear that, Hoping to use it when I get one.
Have you found a work around? I have seen people remap the double tap on the power button to launch wallet. Is there a way to remap the samsung wallet swipe to google?
@@SeeDaRipper...How much better is it?
I'm not a heavy user and therefore haven't had any problems with my flip 3's tiny battery.
@@NoNoSquare Dunno, i buggered it by sticking my sodding finger in the crease🤣
Watching your video on my Flip5 using only the cover screen and I love it
I like this kind of review, keep doing this kind of tech review. Much better than doing it outside... seems more focused review and serious rather than doing the tech reviews in coffee shops or somewhere out there.
I had a previous Samsung Flip 3, but I had a problem with the screen protector pulling away from the crease. I had so much trouble trying to get it fixed, I finally gave up and complained to Samsung who offered me a new S22 as a trade plus $300.00. Because I was up for an early trade with AT&T and the Flip Phone 5 was free with another 3-year contract, I decided to take another chance because I really did like the phone because of its size that fits in a pants pocket so well. When it is opened, it has a nice large vibrant screen. So far, I do love this phone! The screen on the front is a game changer.
can't wait for you to tackle the Fold5 in this style 🍵
King of phone fold 5 Galaxy 🥂💋
My 1st flip , using flip 5 now...used z folds, ultras b4 ...liked the feel and weight...abit of throwback to my motorola startac days wahaha I'm old
The Tea advert - Nylon is a non-biodegradable material, meaning when it is disposed of incorrectly it will sit in landfill sites for hundreds of years. It is a recyclable material.
Just found your channel. Liked the video.
I finally swtich from Apple and now Samsung -FlipZ5, it fun and great small compact phone.
Im so happy i left my iphone for the Z flip 5. Haven't look back at all.
I went from S22 Ultra, to the Z Fold 4, recently got the Lavender Z Flip 5 and prefer it greatly over anything else. I factory reset and gave my Z Fold 4 away today 😂
I really enjoy your concepts of reviews my only curiosity why do you have so much taste for tea
Hello, I've been watching you review stuff since you were on a different channel.
No I do not have a folding phone yet, but I am starting to think about getting one. I appreciate my Sony phone with a headphone jack and a fingerprint sensor much more right now. 👍✌️
I really enjoy your reviews. I am prompted to purchase the flip, this would be my first.
Awesome video thanks josh👍👌😎 yes I'm using Z Flip 4 waiting to buy the Flip 5 😁♥️
Longform reviews are the best! Hoping to see more!
I really enjoy these videos! They're great info, thanks Josh! Also harney and sons is great tea!
With Good Lock installed I use the flex window about 70% of the time. I don't need to open it very often. Cameras are fine for my use but do wish it had a telephoto.
hopefully i'll be getting a z flip 5 soon 🙏
This is my 4th flip ....an it's the best . As much as I love the bigger cover screen, I loved the two tone look of the flip 3 an 4 too
I love Samsung!! I love my Galaxy S23 and S23+, maybe sometime soon I will try a foldable phone.
i am thinking of getting the spigen thin air case for the flip 5 i have the samsung silcone case makes the phone heavy keep up the good work
I'm thinking on switching my S22 with the flip, it seem more fun.
Yes i have a flip 5. And ur right. Its really good. Of course the camera fail next to oppo but using it daily,i find super ..if only battery is better bcoz i have a phobia of running out of power but till today that has not yet happen,now im waiting for for os 6.0.keep up ur video man. Make mine Marvel
loving my Z flip 5! the convenient of smaller phone and able to access all my essential app from the cover screen with goodlock. agree with samsung vs google ecosystem challenges, i prefer the google's so i have to setup for everything google to be my default. and i do have to remind my friends not to compare the z flip 5 camera with her s22 ultra.
I've ordered a flip5 to replace my old s21. I'm looking for to the practicality of the flip as I have a physical job and traditional bar phones easily get damaged or take up loads of room in my pockets
Still enjoy the fold 4, will mostly upgrade to fold 6
COMING FROM AN IPHONE 13 PRO MAX, is this worth the switch?
Please, I’m confused if I should trade in my iPhone or not.
Prob not, battery isn't that good on device.
I might try this
Enjoyed this format
You're one of the better reviewers on youtube and this was a good review. Having said that I am on Motorola's flip team. Even though the camara maybe not as good, that doesnt bother me. The flip 5 cant get all aps even with good lock,you cant get all aps. They dont work in all states. I am in the uk so maybe that wont be the case here. Still a motorola fan though.
Own a razr 5g treated it like a baby but after one year the main display just died out the blue,man hate Motorola
Is anybody else having problems with the fingerprint unlock and face unlock. I have put fingerprint on the right way up, upside down for when it's folded and upside down. Sometimes I pick the phone up not having used it for hours and the screen says " try biometrics later as you have had 5 attempts. Face unlock is totally unreliable as well. Have I got a faulty phone.
i love my z flip 5!
I only want Samsung Flip I had the Flip 4 now the Flip 5 I love it❤
More worked and what didnt !! 👏🏾
I wish they would give a 30-day return. 14 days with work and family is just not enough time.
Z Flip 5 FTW ! dont listen to naysayers , this phone is legit and have a very good battery life despite 3700 mAh. also a very good camera!
Unfortunately I got rid of my Z flip 5 mainly because of the battery life which wasn't good at all, plus I found myself just not using the flex window that much. Photos looked over sharpened from the camera, video was good but that's about it. Went back to a pixel and got the Pro 8 been happy ever since.
My battery life has been great.
Just subscribed because of the unique for me format of long term reviews with the objective on what worked or good and what's bad and didn't work so good 👍.
Hope to see if xiaomi, realme, and honor phones review because I'm going back and forth from U.S. and UK,
and in the past carriers worked
but nowadays some don't even with the physical antena 5g bands.
are you still using this phone? curious for an update on any issues or screen breaking?
😮😮😮😮 fck I'm old 😢😅 it's been years since I last saw you 😂😂
Yes it's wonderful and fun to have the outside screen, but I would have been happy to stay with the old robust exterior. It's one of those questions with no final answer
I love this phone ❤
All samsung needs, to do. Is put flagship cameras and a larger battery in the flip
What teapot is thst 11:52
I’m planning to downgrade from Iphone 14pm to z flip 5. Is it worth it? Need some advice 😞
i have it and it’s a beautiful phone but it requires 2 hands to open… a little tough especially when i’m out buying stuff and needs to use certain apps which requires scanning of Qr code. love the compact factor but over time it’s a bit cumbersome open and closing😅
I finally found a front screen protector that covers the whole front screen, just 2 cameras cut out instead of the file icon screen protector.
Great video I want a much smaller phone the ultra and iPhone pro max are just to big and heavy for me now I want the z flip 5 in lavender
I'll make a kai os version of this phone with removable so dimm slot. For $599 with 16gb ram, expandable up to 64 gb. Removable micro SD card supported up to 2tb. Not so concerned about battery I plan to use it with a keyboard and a mouse and it's going to be a ultra portable replacement for workstation PCs. Something like a Gemini pda but buy your own keyboard and mouse. I'm still debating what would be the point of having a foldable display, but then again it could fold up to 8 inch screen and be a Gemini pda that folds down to a tiny little box.
How come why is that when I see a reviewer who wears an apple watch, I feel like they are more apple bias and only uses apple products 😂
I’m not using a foldable phone. I’ve been using my s21 ultra and it’s still phenomenal.ive been wanting the Fold and I guess doing research on the Flip since my last phone payment is end on the mont (Nov 2023). Do I want to save money and stay with my s21 which I love or do I want to upgrade and try new? Either way I go I don’t think I lose
I want buy a Flip but only when I can take fuller advantage of the smaller size when folded i.e the ability to receive and make calls when folded.
Good phone, but can't heavy use it as battery not durable.😢 But love the design and feel premium.
I was gonna get the cheaper moto because it didn't have a big outer display but after having my Flip 5 I am so happy I didn't
My flip 5 don't open all the way. Its slightly curved inward. Im thinking of trading it in for S23 FE before there are more issues 😢
Shot in the dark here, but i've just come from Z flip 3 to 5. I used to enjoy the fact that with Goodlock/Multistar i could use Google wallet on Z flip 3 whilst folded, but on the Flip 5 it asks to open the phone...Has anybody found a work around?
You can't attest to it's durability as it's not even a year out yet,
can you share which Street Fighter II arcade machine you got in the background? Is it exactly like the original arcade machine-wise and game play?
Not a fan of the flip, but....i would buy a Flip that doesn't flip 😅. Just have that front screen. I think it would be pretty cool.
When does the time come, that one camera is enough on a phone...
For those already have flip 5,it is worth it to buy for?coz I want to upgrade my phone hope someone answer honestly..thank you in advance..
thanks for the review of the phone! I was side swiped by your tea review time lol subscribed just for that !!!
i'm still using the S22U. the flip 5 makes me consider getting a flip. i may just get the flip 6 or 7😊
It's tough going from an ultra to a flip or fold. You'll notice a difference in the camera department. It's definitely a downgrade
@@diogoandrade6894 totally agree. Maybe next gen flip/fold will give us flagship cameras. Oneplus open seem to have a good camera hardware hopefully samsung will follow. i think in the next couple of years foldables will be great as the ultras
Need one for fold 5
Is anyone having issues with the youtube on the cover screen where the shorts are zoomed in?
Thinking 💭 flip 6battery could be more more better! 🪫🪫🪫🪫important
Motorola did the large cover display even with their first RAZR, it's only a new feature for Samsung :D
Only Samsung got the hinge right.
Battery 🪫🥺
Hate the making a drink trend for intros which is why I stopped watching the vid in case you were curious for some reason lol
Compare the oppo n3 flip with z flip 5….
I saving up money for one because my dad is not going to buy it because it's too expensive.
Love the video dude, but I prefer coffee☕️

Thank you for the follow up review. I’ve owned one and have had a similar experience. On a side note I’ve never been a tea drinker and now I have found my way to be a daily drinker of tea. And have been venturing into tea shops. Thank you for that. 🫖
