  • It is time to Take apart the new Samsung Z Flip 5. Get a 4-week trial, free postage, and a digital scale at www.stamps.com/jerryrig. Thanks to Stamps.com for sponsoring the show! The Z Flip 5 has always been enticing to me. The folding form factor is unique and a fantastic example of futuristic tech. However... My smartphone is a tool - and if a tool cant survive - then it doesn't deserve to be my daily driver. Today we start a multi year durability test of the Samsung Z Flip 5. Might also just be a multi month durability test... We will use it until it breaks.

    • @skyflakes3623
      @skyflakes3623 8 месяцев назад

      @aaaaaa-hh8cq Honestly, I had the same thoughts that the flipping won't be useful for me (I mainly bought the phone for the style and to try something new). But after, like, what is now three weeks, I find myself using the cover display a lot. Some days, I use the cover display more than the main display.
      The use I found for the cover display is by doing essential tasks like messaging, maps, food delivery, weather, and other apps that are useful for the day.
      Also, I noticed that the cover display holds me back from further diving deep down with phone usage, like suddenly opening TikTok, Instagram, and other time-wasting apps. People say the cover display has limited usage, which they find as a con, but for me, I found it as a pro.
      Lastly, the "flip" makes the phone easy to stand. So, when taking photos, I never ask for anyone to hold my phone to take a photo of me or us. I just simply flip the phone in an angle, and it stands on its own.

    My flip 3 gave me a solid 2 years. The last couple of months, the hinge wouldn't fully open, so it had a slight bend all the time. The screen had little micro cracks at the bend and was beaten up a bit. (No case, just a dbrand skin) I upgraded to the flip 5 last week and am very happy so far. Good luck with yours!

If you go for a foldable go for a Flip unless you're comfortable going with a different phone that has a wider outer screen aspect ratio like the Pixel Fold.

    @smisjm 9 месяцев назад +123

    That may have been the absolute best teardown ever. I am still trying to figure out how Zach reassembled that particular phone and it actually worked. Seemingly impossible more than most. On another note, does anyone else get concerned when Zach cuts away the screen (or back of the phone) with a razor blade with his fingers directly in line of an unfortunate slip of the blade? No worries I guess because he could always reconstruct a thumb or other finger and make it work as perfectly as most of the devices he tears down. 😂

    • @jsutrov
      @jsutrov 9 месяцев назад +6

      as for cutting towards himself, that's something you get good at over time or cut urself so badly one time u learn to find a workaround.
      I've never that bad 'one time' and I hope he never does either. I learned watching others make a similar mistake I avoided it and even better hopefully for many merely hearing of possible danger they too can remain intact, smart, and safe.

    • @DeLawrence97

In India and China where phone manufacturer competition is much tougher at all price ranges, Samsung beefs up the specs to compete. Here in America they lower them because they can get away with it. This is less evident in the premium phones but the low- and mid-range models show it very clearly.

    I'm very curious to see how long this phone lasts in your pockets. I had a Fold 4 (RIP), that didn't make it past 9 months (I'm an IT Sys Admin with 3 young boys who get to play with it on occasion). Simply put, the inner screen protector needed replacing, and after 3 attempts of sending it to Samsung directly, they gave me a full refund. I've given them a second chance though, and am now sporting a Fold 5. Can't keep an addict down.
    Here's hoping we both have great experiences with our devices! (As a side note, I also picked up a 2023 Moto Razr + for one of my sons, so I'll be keeping tabs on it as well).

    I bought the Flip5 after a few weeks of hemming and hawwing. It doesn't have as good a camera as my old phone, and the battery is smaller, but this time around I was mostly interested in the novelty and a chance to try and new less bulky form factor, and boy am I glad I did. The screen and hinge durability is a concern though, and I kinda expect this phone to not last much longer than two years with regular and a little careless use, as is normal for humans.
    I hope next year's model isn't just a minor upgrade on the old model. These phones would be perfect with a bigger battery and more competent camera. I really don't wanna carry around a giant phone-slate in my pocket anymore after experiencing this.

  • @j.ballsdeep420
    @j.ballsdeep420 9 месяцев назад

    Thank you for doing the durability test on the screen without the screen protector 🙌 I haven't seen anyone else do it and I took mine off day 1 on both the 4 and the 5 so I was genuinely interested (though I did anticipate the same as you found). One benefit besides the obvious of being much smoother is the repeated folding: I've seen a lot of Folds/Flips start to bubble and get dust between the screen and screen protector after a few months of folding, even have seen more than one get hairline splinters as a result, but my Flip 4 was flawless and I have the use-time of a 13 year old girl on my phone. Much appreciated, Zach, and nice work on this one

    • @j.ballsdeep420
      @j.ballsdeep420 9 месяцев назад

      I don't know that I saw any warnings saying you can't take it off anymore but oddly the Flip 5 screen protector came off REALLY easily, far less anxiety inducing than the 4 or like on prior models it could damage the screen it was literally designed to not be peeled off. I live dangerously I guess, idk.

We love them both. My screen factory screen protector started getting bubbles under it long ago and was removed. My wife's factory screen protector has started to release at the fold on each side and it will seen be removed as well.

    it prob won't happen any time soon but until they somehow make real glass foldable, I won't be getting any flip phone. still the z flip and cold are amazing in their own right , like you are for doing all these tests for us. Keep it up
