Foldable phones are not needed period. No matter how much they tell us any different. Paying hundreds of dollars extra for a phone just because it flips is still so wild to me. The only reason these companies even make these 'foldable phones' is because they wanna show off any little scrap of 'innovation' they can find since they can't find any other way to improve their phones. They're bored. Foldable phones will always be a niche product with only a fraction of the global phone market.
Making myself feel like I’m 10 again with a flip phone… I’ve had an iPhone for the last 15 years… I’m getting this in 2 weeks! Excited is an understatement
Its crazy cause I came from an iphone 14 pro max. At first I was so hesitant to switch over to Android, but after months of watching nonstop videos on the zflip 4 I couldn't stay away and made the switch. I honestly have never felt this excited and happy to own a phone like I do with my zflip. I upgraded to the zflip 5 after only having the 4 for a few months because all I ended up paying for it was $50. Thank you for the video!
@@iam5865 i dont own the phone but i do know when you look at the phone directly, you cant see the crease only if you have it from like the side angle [same with fold]
agree! i sold my iPhone 14 Pro Max for this fun, innovative, and more customisable device, knowing that i am not a pro user for photography, i have not regrets at all, as long as the photo is looking great to my eyes!
U can tell Samsung spent plenty of time optimizing the ui for the cover screen display on the zfold 5. The animations jst looks and feels so smooth and polished. Hope one ui 6 gets this amount of smoothness as well.
great to see people excited about foldables, especially the flip style, but i think motorola deserves some love too! they did a really good job this year
I fianlly got this phone and i have to say the crease is truly kinda magical, i don't notice it 99% of the time. The way theyve managed to have it so effortlessly fade away when youre using the phone , is magical and i love it so much lol and when i do notice it i find it a cool little reminder of the piece of technology that im so easily pocketing, the front screen is so effective and useful i really do love this phone.
Idk if it’s a solution, but you don’t necessarily need to use your thumb, you could use your index finger to unlock it and I think that would make it more comfortable
I'm left handed and love it! Works so much better than any face recognition on any phone. I do everything with my left hand except for using phones. It's like driving a car. You just have to get used to driving the stick with your right hand unless you live in the UK or something. Also goes 100% smoothly.
I'm happy the unfolding is more like the flip3, when I traded into the flip 4 it was noticeable how much more rigid the hinge on the 4 was, it sometimes feels like you need a specific grip to close it with one hand.
3:44 now i understand why some people break their phones. Ive had the flip3 for almost 2 years and its like new. I would never risk opening the phone that way.
I have the Flip 3 and have really enjoyed it. Yes my screen protector did lift and I am getting cracking in the seam now but somehow these things haven't deterred me from pre-ordering the 5. What got me was being able to finally text with the phone closed. That's was the biggest pain for me was having to flip the phone open to respond to texts, other than the preset responses. My biggest worry, will the larger cover screen eat up alot of the battery life.... I hope not. 🤞
Logically speaking, because now you can do more on the cover screen, the battery should last longer, not only due to the Efficient chip but also the smaller screen to power at times.
Thank God RUclips is working on the outer display already!! I was trying to find out yesterday and thanks to you!! Im excited to upgrade from zflip 4 to 5!!
I was debating between the mint and the carbon, but was also pretty interested in the website exclusive darker green...but there's no way I was going to wait an additional month to get one of the exclusive colors. I went with the mint, as I saw enough images to get a better idea of what I think it looks like in person, including the fact that the reails also appear to be mint. I would've preferred a much bolder color, and think Sammy should always include stuff similar to Aura Glow. Like yourself, I traded my Flip 4, plus the early reservation $50 credit. How could I NOT upgrade when it only cost me 49 dollars....and you could say you actually got PAID to upgrade, if the freebies they include are worthwhile to you. 8:26 I'm sure you know this Shane, but for anyone watching concerned about the sidebars that doesn't know, you can always pinch zoom out to fill the screen....not a perfect solution due to aspect ratio, but a better choice in most cases, to take full advantage of the screen.
I've pre ordered the mint but I think the colour doesn't really make a difference if you add a caee or a skin. Ordered a leather case and a carbon case with a chameleon skin! Can't wait
I have the blue on the z flip 4 which was not in the galaxy z flip 5 i had black and white on all of my past galaxy model blue is the only one i dont have which i currently owned on a z flip 4 yellow seems a bit over kill
I got a z flip 3 two years ago but then decided to sell it and just get an s22 ultra. I'm really tempted to get the flip 5 because of that front display. However, it's just too narrow for me, making RUclips and other videos way too small with those thick black bars. If they ever make it wider, I'm definitely a buyer. I know there are other flip phones that are wider but I want to stick with Samsung.
I have the z fold4 and am tempted to get the flip, but don't want to trade in my fold. Im with Verizon, and t mobile is offering this phone for free for adding a new line so I switched to t-mobile and got the flip 5 free while still keeping my fold4.
So I have the Z-flip 4 and I had this issue also. I downloaded RUclips Vanced, which is a modded clone of RUclips with a few cool added features. Like to put any video in full screen. Works great on my Flip 4
Why do you flip open it like a caveman? you know it opens up if you just push with your thumb gently? You don't need to flip it, tilt it and whip it back so hard?
What does Samsung get out of basically giving these away to owners of the previous generation Flip? I'm certainly not complaining. I did it last year, and just got my pre-order in for the 5. It's a sweet deal, but I don't understand the economics of it. :)
Me neither lol, same exact price and deal as last year as far as the $900 trade in goes. They did reduce it to $700 eventually so it won't last forever
That's only in the US. I got 120 euros from Samsung for ordering the 1399 euro 512GB flip phone. And then through Vodafone they offered an amazing deal that you could hand in Any phone when ordering flip 5 and getting 300 euros off. So I handed in a crappy old 00s phone that doesn't work anymore. And I'm selling my Flip 3 online which I just got completely renewed last week because I had insurance. But those deals like in the US... are only in the US🥲
Preordered the flip 5 and switching from 14 pro. iPhones have looked the same since the 11 and I missed getting excited when I upgraded. I only need cameras for social media and these are good enough.
Just watching out of curiosity. I had Flip 4. It was a nice phone. Really good-looking and it catches some attention. I decided to trade up for an S23 Ultra and i've been using that phone ever since. I think i will stick with the classic smartphone for now. It's just not worth it to downgrade just because of the flip factor at this time.
I mean I've loved my flip 3 for the past two years. That battery could be better, but the camera and everything else is still as snappy. I'm getting the 5 for better battery and the front screen. Plus ppl in the future are gunna make so many apps work for it!
@@hex1275because it's compact battery is tricky cameras tricky Motorola RAZR is really good specs just as good as S23 and Apple but I like the look of Samsung's it's a well built phone but Motorola has better specs and camera
@@hex1275with foldables they can't have it be crazy think especially when closed. So in making them thinner while open, there's not enough depth for them to include the top tier cameras. As much as we all want them, there's simply not space for them to include the flagship cameras at the moment, just the reality of it. Same goes for not being able to fit in a larger battery. Though I argue they should just make the Flip wider for a larger battery at least bc my main grip is how narrow it is when opened, especially when I'm coming from a Pro Max
I love the idea of foldables but I'm still waiting for the time and technology so that they can eliminate the crease completely then I'll consider to buy it.
If that is all you are waiting for I'd say just give it a try and see what you think, you can always return it if it's truly a deal breaker. I find the crease to not be an issue after using many of these over the years with a crease but I get that it can be off-putting.
Can’t wait to get mine! I’m gonna trade-in my Pixel 7 through Best Buy. It ended up being cheaper than Samsung’s + I get a free protection plan with Total Tech. What case would you recommend (and does Samsung still do the screen protector included on screen)?
Love Shane video Already subscribed I love the fact when Shane does a review impression or unboxing it’s informative and simple that’s why I watch his videos when he does any unboxing Waiting for the 1 month review of fold 5 Want to get it but I will wait for more in depth reviews before I make a purchase Great video shane
Do people actually flip open their phone so aggressively? It's no wonder so many broke. I'd never open mine so aggressively unless I've already accepted that it may break. It feels far too flimsy to be manhandling it like that.
The old Motorola flips were flimsy but the only reason they broke was because pockets are not suitable for thin devices I carry mine on a lanyard around my neck
I bought the samsung z flip 5 and I always make sure to open it carefully so it doesn't Crack the screen. And I don't recommend a motorola razor because of the bending points
I’m an iPhone user from 2000 until now , after looking at this Samsung flip I kind of like it so I’m decides to order it but I haven’t got it yet , i hope I like it .
Cover Screen OS works on the 4 and most likely would look great on the 5s bigger cover screen- 14 BUCKS A YEAR FOR Beta Version- Dollar and some per month- not bad
it’s really good that I skipped zflip 4… like always, I dont change phones yearly. the updates or improvements arent that much. from zflip 3, will upgrade to zflip 5. preordering done! 😊
i sold my iPhone 14 Pro Max for this fun, innovative, and more customisable device, knowing that i am not a pro user for photography, i have not regrets at all, as long as the photo is looking great to my eyes!
I have been on iPhone since iPhone 3G (2010 I think) but will soon go over to Android and this Flip 5! Looks like they perfected the formula with this one!
First time watching you. I like your style, very detailed and seems honest enough, first impression. However, reviewing Samsung newest and greatest Z series, with iPhone is absolutely classic! I'd absolutely LOVE to see this full review side by side filmed with S23 ultra, and iphone.
The outer display of zflip kinda reminds me on a larger version of the galaxy watch in a phone form factor, I wish they could come out with rollable watch that could be opened upto 3.5" display.
That would be amazing. I've noticed myself doing more texting on my watch over time but frequently get so many typos and errors. Big screen would help with that for sure, but idk how they would implement that tech until rollables are the new mainstream which who knows when that will be
@ShaneSymonds this to be honest with u has nothing to do with the rollable their weak point is the wider outer display and Samsung has been ignoring their consumers and turned into Apple, I don't know what happened to them in 2019 before they listened to their consumers but now they have been ignoring their consumers and just like apple we have just been see ing processor upgrade and incremental camera upgrade, majority of the people complained about the narrow display it's not usable and if small hand is the case I'd rather have a 4.7" display in a 16:9 aspect ratio than a 6.7" display which is only a tv remote with the same with as a 4.7" phone with 16:9 aspect ratio.
Your opening skills is kool just like Flossy Carter who does it the same way. I can see many people emulating that opening skill of the flip phone. Samsung do win big with the flip phone sturdiness and the rigid but smooth opening angles when opening the phone. 😎💯✊🏾
It's such a small observation, but you pointed out the 5G antenna on the side of the phone. I have been wondering what the heck that was on my Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G for the last 2 years. Thank you!
Thanks for the review. How I wish Samsung can make a Mid-range type of Flip and Fold too. Maybe same price like Galaxy A54 or A73. For sure lots of people will buy since it's very fascinating to see a folding phone. Definitely I'll buy one too. 😁
I genuinely thought they were going to do this a few years ago but it never happened. I hope it does happen because I want people to use & enjoy these phones and see how good they are
I currently have an iPhone 11 with mint mobile 2 years old at this point, still love but the zflip has been on my mind HEAVY either saving or waiting till they hopefully do a end of year sale
I got a phone upgrade through my provider and I chose this, saved 880 dollars CAD on it so it was a no brainer. I upgraded from a crappy motorolla so this will be a huge upgrade.
Thanks for the review. Are there any issues with wear and tear of the fold in the center of the screen? Considering that it has to flip open constantly. Does it create a visible crease over time?
I wish they made the zflip a 2:1 aspect ratio that folds into a perfect square and I wish they made it a 3.3" display without a cut out I'd rather prefer the area next to the camera actual as a thick bezel rather than covering that with the display and giving us the weird cutout.
@waltervega8730 I know but considering the form factor of the zflip I'd rather it be 3.3" and razr isn't full edge to edge it has unnecessary chin they could've reduced the bezels on the top and added in next to the camera, kinda like what samsung did but instead of going 3.4" and adding weird cut out they could've went with a 3.3" display and the next to the camera position being bezel or Maybe they could've added iris scanner and intelligent scanner in that blank area or could've made it the ear peace being able to put your zflip phone towards the ear in folded mode is a neat idea and honestly the zflip looks to ugly when it's opened its almost like I prefer the 3.4" display over it being unfolded it looks like sticking a tv remote towards your ears unless they could and it wider. The 3.4" display will feel small compared to what were used to but the square display looks so much better in fact with long hairs u wouldn't even be able to see the phone to your ear peave that would look sleek. That's my concern with all flip phones I don't know why they are narrow, samsung foldable kinda understandable because u can get the bigger screen but with zflip or any flip that narrow display makes zero sense
I own a flip 4 before. One of the down side is the black bars while watching youtube video. It is the same size of a s23 watching video with black bars. But still a fun experience with a flip phone.
Except those celebrities still share stories from their iphone, one commenter on one of their ads, slammed sammy, saying that it's making them look cheap by having celebrities at the event
Pretty much the entire reason I made my channel lol. I was tired of flashy tech videos that have cameras glued to someones face half the time when I just want to see the product and get a real user's perspective on it
You can do zoom to get full screen for videos, be it RUclips or a streaming app. You also didnt speak about Good Luck to add more apps to cover display.
Thanks for the excellent review! Would you willing to consider a comparison between the flip 5 and the razr+ ? I've read that the razr allows you to use basically any app on the outer screen where for the flip it's mostly widgets. That'd be my biggest hang up in getting the flip vs razr
$900 trade in?! Damn... Samsung really hates us here in the UK 😂 the most they're giving for trade in towards the Flip 5 is £560 😂 😂 😂 😂 🤦♂️ they aren't even taking the Flip 4 as a trade in option either.
My buddy in the UK traded in his Zflip 4 for the 5 with his phone carrier and got $1000 bucks for it. They also gave him $1000 for his 2 year old Flip 3 too. Samsung isn't offering deals but there are places that do, His carrier was Verizon btw, and they will take the phone and give you full value for it EVEN IF IT'S CRACKED in the UK.
They are letting you trade in the flip 4 in the UK. When you select trade in it gives you the manufacturer list don’t click Samsung, under that there’s a option for Samsung z series and it’s in there. Only £420 for the 128gb version though so still no where near the US
Nice video yet again Hope samsung brings blue back to the Galaxy S series, not as an exclusive. Ryan Trahan should do another video this time with the Flip5 instead of the Flip4

But those deals like in the US... are only in the US🥲

Ain't you downgrading? The camera is way better on the Ultra.
@thundergato84 I barely use the camera so it's not really a issue for me or a selling point for my purchase of a phone
I’m an iPhone user from 2000 until now , after looking at this Samsung flip I kind of like it so I’m decides to order it but I haven’t got it yet , i hope I like it .
Apple iPhone is so 🥱🥱🥱… glad Samsung is still innovating!
would love to see whether the cover screen launcher is available yet on Good Look and how that runs on the cover screen
Cover Screen OS works on the 4 and most likely would look great on the 5s bigger cover screen- 14 BUCKS A YEAR FOR Beta Version- Dollar and some per month- not bad
it’s really good that I skipped zflip 4… like always, I dont change phones yearly. the updates or improvements arent that much. from zflip 3, will upgrade to zflip 5. preordering done! 😊
Definitely looking into the z flip my s22 ultra is just to big for me and I don't use the s pen a lot
i sold my iPhone 14 Pro Max for this fun, innovative, and more customisable device, knowing that i am not a pro user for photography, i have not regrets at all, as long as the photo is looking great to my eyes!
thanks for making this video, just got off with Comcast and I'm switching 100% from iPhone to samsung
Oh wow, well I wonder if the Samsung Galaxy Tab A series is going to include a charger still.
I have been on iPhone since iPhone 3G (2010 I think) but will soon go over to Android and this Flip 5! Looks like they perfected the formula with this one!
I love my Motorola Razr 2023. Simple, light, no case req, and no big front screen to distract.
This is makeing me more exited for my new flip phone!
First time watching you. I like your style, very detailed and seems honest enough, first impression.
However, reviewing Samsung newest and greatest Z series, with iPhone is absolutely classic!
I'd absolutely LOVE to see this full review side by side filmed with S23 ultra, and iphone.
No he doesn't sound honest. Sounds like he might get a phone for free from Sammy to talk nicely about the flip.
The outer display of zflip kinda reminds me on a larger version of the galaxy watch in a phone form factor, I wish they could come out with rollable watch that could be opened upto 3.5" display.
That would be amazing. I've noticed myself doing more texting on my watch over time but frequently get so many typos and errors. Big screen would help with that for sure, but idk how they would implement that tech until rollables are the new mainstream which who knows when that will be
@ShaneSymonds this to be honest with u has nothing to do with the rollable their weak point is the wider outer display and Samsung has been ignoring their consumers and turned into Apple, I don't know what happened to them in 2019 before they listened to their consumers but now they have been ignoring their consumers and just like apple we have just been see ing processor upgrade and incremental camera upgrade, majority of the people complained about the narrow display it's not usable and if small hand is the case I'd rather have a 4.7" display in a 16:9 aspect ratio than a 6.7" display which is only a tv remote with the same with as a 4.7" phone with 16:9 aspect ratio.
Why we can’t get a red one? Would be so dope.
They already have skins for it out pretty sure there's a red one 🙂
I was watching this video with my new z flip 5 and this phone one of the best
Thank you so much for the link! I just ordered and with your link, I preordered for only $60.99. 🤸♀️Great video! Thanks again 👏🙌
I love Samsung, just ordered.
Your opening skills is kool just like Flossy Carter who does it the same way. I can see many people emulating that opening skill of the flip phone. Samsung do win big with the flip phone sturdiness and the rigid but smooth opening angles when opening the phone. 😎💯✊🏾
To me its what makes the phone fun to use lol the good one handed opening is a must
How is no one gonna talk about how in
the time he's recording this video it is literally 91° where he is! 5:38 the people outside must be melting 😂😂
Simply besutiful phone, especially in that sleek black color.
Its amazing you guys get 900 usd off for last years phone to next. In the UK we don't even get half that.
Preorder with your carrier, and fast. You can get the same deal.
Wow im so thankful you people switching from iphone to a samsung galaxy
Clear explanation, thank you. I ordered it a day ago, and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I'm excited about this device. Thank you
Engel olunmaz bir satın alma isteği uyandıracak orijinal ve harika bir oyuncak gibi.. Tebrikler Samsung..
im really eyeing this phone
Really good unboxing I was looking at Flip 5 yesterday, I think you've sold me, thanks
It's such a small observation, but you pointed out the 5G antenna on the side of the phone. I have been wondering what the heck that was on my Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G for the last 2 years. Thank you!
Thanks for the review. How I wish Samsung can make a Mid-range type of Flip and Fold too. Maybe same price like Galaxy A54 or A73. For sure lots of people will buy since it's very fascinating to see a folding phone. Definitely I'll buy one too. 😁
I genuinely thought they were going to do this a few years ago but it never happened. I hope it does happen because I want people to use & enjoy these phones and see how good they are
@@ShaneSymonds Fingers crossed that it will happen soon. Really wanted to have a flip phone but it's way too expensive. Can't afford. 🙈
The zflip 5 kinda looks like a slimmer version of the zfold 5 unfolded vs zfold 5 folded
I currently have an iPhone 11 with mint mobile 2 years old at this point, still love but the zflip has been on my mind HEAVY
either saving or waiting till they hopefully do a end of year sale
I traded my flip 4 for the 5 and I'm super excited
I got a phone upgrade through my provider and I chose this, saved 880 dollars CAD on it so it was a no brainer. I upgraded from a crappy motorolla so this will be a huge upgrade.
Thanks for the review. Are there any issues with wear and tear of the fold in the center of the screen? Considering that it has to flip open constantly. Does it create a visible crease over time?
Using IPhone to make the video of Samsung.. just awesome 👌
Is it worth buying I'm thinking between these or the s23
Would you recommend this phone if your going from a standard s22? I'm just not convinced on the flip5 camera
I wish they made the zflip a 2:1 aspect ratio that folds into a perfect square and I wish they made it a 3.3" display without a cut out I'd rather prefer the area next to the camera actual as a thick bezel rather than covering that with the display and giving us the weird cutout.
The Motorola Razr has the whole screen at 3.6 screen
@waltervega8730 I know but considering the form factor of the zflip I'd rather it be 3.3" and razr isn't full edge to edge it has unnecessary chin they could've reduced the bezels on the top and added in next to the camera, kinda like what samsung did but instead of going 3.4" and adding weird cut out they could've went with a 3.3" display and the next to the camera position being bezel or Maybe they could've added iris scanner and intelligent scanner in that blank area or could've made it the ear peace being able to put your zflip phone towards the ear in folded mode is a neat idea and honestly the zflip looks to ugly when it's opened its almost like I prefer the 3.4" display over it being unfolded it looks like sticking a tv remote towards your ears unless they could and it wider. The 3.4" display will feel small compared to what were used to but the square display looks so much better in fact with long hairs u wouldn't even be able to see the phone to your ear peave that would look sleek. That's my concern with all flip phones I don't know why they are narrow, samsung foldable kinda understandable because u can get the bigger screen but with zflip or any flip that narrow display makes zero sense
I just don't understand why everybody keeps inserting their thumbs in between the screens and force shaking it open. It's not cool at all.
Great video.
Do you think which is better motorola razr 40+] or the flip 5 ?
Nice video thank you ! Can't wait for the casing review video of flip 5 accessories!
Ugh! I have an S21 Ultra and I'm so tempted to give this phone a try! I don't need it...but I want it!
Is the camera quality different when it's opened vs closed? I've heard different processors
Just got mine yesterday I love it
I own a flip 4 before. One of the down side is the black bars while watching youtube video. It is the same size of a s23 watching video with black bars. But still a fun experience with a flip phone.
It's 💯% confirmed samsung is the most powerful brand in terms of Sponsorship....🌚👍
Except those celebrities still share stories from their iphone, one commenter on one of their ads, slammed sammy, saying that it's making them look cheap by having celebrities at the event
I would like it, I think it's really amazing device.
I’ve missed this style of unboxing. Solely focus on the phone and none of this extra flashy editing!
Pretty much the entire reason I made my channel lol. I was tired of flashy tech videos that have cameras glued to someones face half the time when I just want to see the product and get a real user's perspective on it
You can do zoom to get full screen for videos, be it RUclips or a streaming app. You also didnt speak about Good Luck to add more apps to cover display.
Thanks for the excellent review! Would you willing to consider a comparison between the flip 5 and the razr+ ? I've read that the razr allows you to use basically any app on the outer screen where for the flip it's mostly widgets. That'd be my biggest hang up in getting the flip vs razr
Ain't no one getting a razr 💀
@@eeeeeeeeee802the razr plus does everything this phone does and more.
Good lock app will allow you to use any app for zflips5 outer screen
I heard the software is crap + has a shitty gpu.. the magenta looks pretty cool tho, have to give em' that
as I phone user I got this phone and LOVE IT
$900 trade in?! Damn... Samsung really hates us here in the UK 😂 the most they're giving for trade in towards the Flip 5 is £560 😂 😂 😂 😂 🤦♂️ they aren't even taking the Flip 4 as a trade in option either.
Ouch that hurts, sorry I had no clue the best deals were US only lol Samsung needs to do better
I traded in my Flip 4 yesterday for £420 off the flip 5 in the UK?
@@greg5901 I didn't see it on the list when I looked on it, may have missed it. But even so, shocking trade in deals compared to the US
My buddy in the UK traded in his Zflip 4 for the 5 with his phone carrier and got $1000 bucks for it. They also gave him $1000 for his 2 year old Flip 3 too. Samsung isn't offering deals but there are places that do, His carrier was Verizon btw, and they will take the phone and give you full value for it EVEN IF IT'S CRACKED in the UK.
They are letting you trade in the flip 4 in the UK. When you select trade in it gives you the manufacturer list don’t click Samsung, under that there’s a option for Samsung z series and it’s in there. Only £420 for the 128gb version though so still no where near the US
I'm going to be buying my first flip phone the z flip 5 excited
Thank you so much honestly best phone review video and so informative on each subject of the phone I'll only go to ur videos for the future flip 6
i have an S21, not sure whether to upgrade to S23Ultra or this flip 5. i love making contents on IG n tiktok. which one should i buyy!
Does this come with screen protector installed on the main screen? Not the half one
Great video.. ive watched it several times
I have a fold 3 should I upgrade to this or the new fold
Hi Shane I have a question can I use back my old themes and icon pack from my S21 ultra to Z flip 5? Thanks
I LOVE your videos!!!! ❤❤❤❤
I just ordered 😊
If you trade in the flip 4 for the flip 5. Its only like $150 with minor add on. That's the only reason why I'm upgrading. Don't mind that.
Is the inner screen still the cheap plastic feeling and still got easy scratches?
Nice video yet again
Hope samsung brings blue back to the Galaxy S series, not as an exclusive.
Ryan Trahan should do another video this time with the Flip5 instead of the Flip4
I like to see Samsung take more design risks like they use to. Miss the days when they use to have colourful options, reflective glass, gradients etc.
@@geester I thought those mirror colour options looked cheap tbh
Flip 5 comes with build in screen protecter?
