      I was happy until I realized you were partnered with Casetify. They are a dirty company. Stealing products for there own gain, marketing them as there own. Then denying allegations that were clearly the truth. Please research companies you do sponsorships with. Do not support a company with a tarnished name and don’t let them ruin you along with them.

      @@Regisslove I’m not that well versed in photos, but the photos do look a little sharp on the flip. Slightly digitally enhanced probably. I had a friend take a selfie and I thought it looked great because it uses the rear camera instead of the front face camera. I still have my iphone 13 pro and personally I thought the quality is slightly better on the flip 5. My 13 pro camera is starting to get fuzzy and blurry with photos now. So all in all, I like my Flip 5. In my opinion.

    I have previously been a long-time Apple iPhone user and was using an iPhone 12 before switching over to this Samsung Z Flip 5. Had went to the Apple stores to try out the iPhone 15s but it didnt differ that greatly to my 12 to warrant the amount of money for me to switch.
    I then tried out various other phones like Oppo, XiaoMi, Google, Samsung in-store and although intially wasnt that impressed by the Z Flip 5 and thought it felt pretty flimsy, decided to blind buy because of the form factor and honestly this is my best buy ever!
    So many customisations and functions on the Android system, meets my main needs of just texting, taking good photos and watching videos- having the ability to do so much things using the front screen is amazing as well. Especially love watching Netflix and taking selfies with friends using the front screen and look forward to using it to probably take some vlogs as well! Highly recommended!

    I've recently switched from the Note 10 plus to this Flip 5 couple weeks ago and it's been a real breath of fresh air having a slick pocket sized smartphone that could do everything my note 10 could. I've been using the front screen more and more for everyday things with no problems so far. It feels right having a phone this size like the good old days, I don't think I will get a normal sized smartphone again. I know the flip doesnt have 2x optical zoom and smaller battery but i haven't noticed any difference in camera quality but I'm no whizz on photography. I'm just hoping this phone will last long term as I'm hoping to keep this phone for a few years. I hope the flip/hinge, battery life and the inside screen holds out which are my worries but the build quality on this flip phone feels incredible. One thing I've noticed the flip doesn't have Samsung Dex. I hope their's an update it the future to install that
    Btw definitely gonna have a look at those cases, to survive a test like that?! Quite brilliant cases 👏

      I'm also planning to hold onto my Flip5 for a few years, at least 2 maybe longer. My previous phone was the S20+ that I had for 3 years and that was going strong right till I sold it when I got the Flip5. I'm also worried about long term durability but it feels great and most interactions I have are on the cover screen rather than main screen so I'm not unfolding it that much at all - hopefully that counts towards longevity.

Do you recommend upgrading? Do you thinknits worth it? My note 10 is super reliable im just scared getting a new ine would lead to it freezing or whatnot (I usually have bad experiences with technology having some faults). So so you recommend??

      I got the Note10+ since 2019 and its been a great phone without any changes on its performance so far. Although i changed the screen last year paying a 250€ for it and i broke the camera but not willing to pay for fixing it.
      I decided my next purchases on ANYTHING to be what i would love to have and not what the specs are or what the online comparisons say or based on brand etc.
      I remember black mirror episode "vipers" where the guy was using a similar phone. I was waiting for the moment to be able to use the zflip screen more than a smartwatch and just today i got my z5!
      So excited to start using it and never open it again whole 😂. Since its a flagship phone i am sure it will last 4 years at least for sure without any problems.
      Everyone, buy what you LIKE and not what the brand is or which phone is best and you will never regret it! Typing this on my note10+, dont wait tomorrow to switch!

I have small hands and this just feels better, even when flipped open. I was able to flip it open with one hand, but now that I have a case on it, that's much more difficult but I'm okay with that. I love having the front panel to do most anything with but mostly just to quickly play music, respond to text and make quick calls without even having to open anything up. Take your time, do your research, pay attention to the constructive criticism but in the end I think you'll be pleased.

    My flip 5 will be here tomorrow. I checked out the Razr in the store and just seem like a toy to me in comparison . In addition something not mentioned much is the Samsung has full 5G mmwave, which is still a thing for someone in a big city to get maximum speed. The Razr is saddled with only sub-6.
    I have a feeling Samsung made two intentional moves that are garnering "complaints". The first one is they only offer a handful of "authorized" apps for that outer screen... yet with that app from their store, it opens up to all others. I'm sure that's theirvway of saying...we've sanctioned only these apps to work but if you want to go into experimental mode-- here's your pathway.
    Also, the 720p screen people are complaining about was likely done on purpose to try to save battery knowing its ONLY 3 in. You don't need a 1080 screen for a 3in display!

    Just got one of these this week and loving it so far, I traded "down" from a 22 Ultra - I just never used all the bells and whistles that the Ultra had (the spen, etc.) so I didn't think I would miss anything. BUT, there is one thing that I miss and that is DEX. I didn't use it a ton, but there were certain use cases for it. Although the Flip does have USB-C video out, it just mirrors the device screen, its functional but not as good. Other than that, its an amazing phone and you are right about the cover screen. With the cover screen designer I can make it look pretty much however I want and with the Good Lock Launcher, I find myself using my phone almost as much closed as I do open. I still can't flip it open with my thumb, just need more practice I guess ;-) Great review video!

Good lock helps add all the apps you want with no problems and if you love customization like I do it’s soooooo much fun ans will keep you busy just styling it alone.

    I love my Flip 5. I dropped it once, 30 cm onto a carpet floor, so far it looks like nothing bad happened but it tought me a lesson: the device is super small but quite heavy and can fall out easily. I think I need a case with a ring.
    Besides that: it's so great to use it one-handed for almost everything. Deezer, RUclips (music but also other videos relying mainly on audio), mySugr, public transportation, google maps, and so on. I use it folded like 90% of the time. And if I really need more, a super large display is just one move away.

    One downside I noticed after using it for some time is that in term of replacing point n shoot camera, regular phone is better than flip. U avoid the 1 additional step of needing to open it first. Keeping it open is an option but u risk damaging the screen in case of a drop. Flip screen phone case don't have thick lips protecting the inner screen for obvious reason.
    Additionally although the size is cut in half the thickness is increased compared to regular phone. And while regular phone stick out near the lip of your pocket making retrieval easier when wearing fitting pants, the flip due to half of the size slip down deeper into the pocket making retrieval more difficult.

    This phone is for people who likes small phones but the good thing about flip phones now is that you have an option to make bigger. And this phone looks more premium maybe because of the brand but it really is aesthetically pleasing than other flips atleast for me.

    I love the flip 5 and although I agree with getting a protective case I see the one in the video doesn't have hinge protection. If you are like me and like all around protection then I highly advise a hinge protected case, a cover screen protector and the camera lens protector as well.

    I have it and Its honestly the best of both worlds, I can have a compact pocket phone that I can check notifications and reply to messages quickly and then if I have to view something larger its convenient being able to open it up for bigger screen. Performance is very very good and the crease with the phone is to be expected you cannot have a screen that bends and doesn't have some give to it. After having it for a few months I can recommend it to anyone. For durability a lot of phone reviewers complain because they don't use any case, its very strong and any phone will scratch if you have it against a car key, the back is glass lol

Definitely worth the upgrade if you got an old one take advantage of promos if you got s23 glad I didn't I would just wait for the 24 or get on the flip train cause it's just so cooler than any other phone that doesn't flip . Like these aren't something new this idea haa been around for years but the flip smart phones is like now I think getting more popularity cause how much they fixed issues on the old ones.

I love the cover screen. Its like an ipod ! But android! I think battery life is alright . Definitely lasted a whole day or more i think the flip 5 is revolutionary compared to traditional non flip phones the phone experience feels so much better like what a phone should be. Im less on mine . Its so tiny i love the smart flip phones. Google and Motorola really are trying to jump on this . I week so far i got a case immediate asap. Protection Protection i babied mine and have to be careful never put it in pocket with anything else that can scratch i babied mine lol i think if your a samsung user or android user try it out you wont wanna go back to an boring ordinary phone
