The quality of The Verge's videos, and specially Becca's, is on another level. Kudos! Also, the Flip is looking like a real phone for everyone this year.
Just not feeling it. Do these flip phones hold up to being dropped? I've dropped my old iPhone 12 many times at home and it still works as it should. All these new phones are just boring. It feels like we are still stuck in 2010.
I’ve seen two videos now where video samples recorded on Flip 5 has its recorded audio mainly coming in on the left channel (or right depending on orientation)
I thought i was the only one who recorded in camcorder mode. I have the flip 4 in the belt case so i can put my fingers through the strap like an actual camcorder 😂
Great video and review. Terrifying camera angle. You’re speaking over us and downward into the camera. Lighting is vaguely coming from below, making it akin to horror movies. Never want to see another video. Please consider pulling back and having more unidirectional lighting. I don’t think it’s an unreasonable ask. Not sure this is the “grab” method you want to rely on to differentiate yourself. Best of luck on success otherwise and in general. Love, your Islander
I cannot wait to get my Flip 5 (gonna be my first foldable phone). And boy am I gonna take advantage of that “camcorder mode” for the concerts I’ll be attending later this year 😂.
Great vid! To your question, no, I won't buy a foldable for 2 reasons: 1. About 50% of foldable users end up with problems with their devices. 2. And more important in my view, no company offers a foldable with good screen ratio both in and out. Google actually offer a good one on the outside screen but the inside ratio is terrible. If you thinking about watching youtube on your phone, you need different ratio.
@Elitecommander0 Hey, not sure to which if my statements you want a source, but if it's to the first one, it's from "This Is" an Austin Evans channel. He uses a flip and they have a forum with a lot of people using foldables, 50% says they droped it and kick it and it's fine and the orhr 50% say it cracked with no touch at all
I would buy a Z flip 5 but I have the worst case of butterfingers so that screen is gonna crack, esp if there is no good case to protect the front screen
Can I all agree all this minimal incremental upgrades are just a way for any company to make more money out of consumers! Unless you have a fully funded 3-6 months emergency fund and are contributing to your retirement DONT EVEN considering spending 2k+ on a stupid phone.
To me this phone has ethical dilemmas: if you make such big phone (environment unfriendly), such big box, why not add small quality charger. I feel these companies are cheating therefore wouldn't buy till I need it
Name the price you would buy the Fold or Flip right now? On a scale from $1 - 1,799.
Flip $799 and Fold $1199
$799
fold - 1200, flip 700
$350
700 seems more approachable than 1000, as usual.

That part. Especially Becca's!!!
"Video then filmed horizontally...like God intended." lol It's true.
I came here to comment exactly this, that line had me on the floor
I was screaming😂. Becca, you are fookin brilliant!
This is it. Video was worth watching just for this quote. 10/10
God isn't real.
"Filming horizontally, like God intended." 😂😂😂😂
Becca never disappoints
Becca is single-handedly carrying The Verge's RUclips channel as of lately
As of lately? More like since always 😂
So true. I miss Dieter
i like and i would prefer the flip 5 over the fold.
I love Becca. Please keep her forever.
Please make Becca the official reviewer of the Verge
Verge videos feel a lot cinematic and natural compared to other reviewers sitting straight with a background lol
Becca is now my go to reviewer
☺️☺️

This is the first time that i actually like a Samsung phone. I REALLY like this one🔥
Becca’s reviews are the best!
Great review. You have a knack for it! enjoyable to watch.
I always have been interested in the Galaxy Fold, but its durability threw me back. Now with the better hinge, I might think about getting one.
Another masterpiece by Becca! With the outside screens becoming larger on these foldables, I might pick one up as a secondary device this year.
I have the fold 3 and am waiting on Samsung to finally change to a normal aspect ratio when closed.
Myabe the Fold 6. Or not. We'll see.
@@LordManhattanCorrect, as rumours had it that the Fold 6 has a wider outer display.😊 Edit: But hopefully will come true.
Oh man, i just love your reviews sooo much! Idk, you just seem really cool!
The Z Flip 5 is awesome!
Thanks for the coverage, bud!
That front 3.4 screen is kinda great 😲😲
Only clicked on this vid for Becca. She is the best!
“Like god intended” really got me, takes me back to glove and boots vertical video syndrome

I have a flip 3 at the moment so I think it might be the time for the flip 5
I know it’s not bigger than motorola rzr coverscreen but z flip cover screen is more aesthetically pleasing atleast for me.
I’ve seen two videos now where video samples recorded on Flip 5 has its recorded audio mainly coming in on the left channel (or right depending on orientation)
I'd like to hear about the flip's ability to record audio well in noisy concert or edm party environments.
I will Pre Order the Galaxy Flip with Purple or Pink Color!!! ⚡😍⚡
I thought i was the only one who recorded in camcorder mode. I have the flip 4 in the belt case so i can put my fingers through the strap like an actual camcorder 😂
always.
more.
Becca!

I would loooveee for Samsung to make a much smaller flip, with a 5'6 or 5'8 inches display!
That would probably flop.

I love the overall look and polish on the Fold but I cannot stand how tall it is when it's folded.
Just here for Becca
Z flip totally worth it
Did you guys know what a 'verge' is the synonym of in french?
Seems to me it very well reflects how much this operation blows.
Becca is the best reviewer on the Verge… according to me 😁
And still a lower resolution on the big screens of s9 and fold than their on s23 ultra ! It's 2023 we want 4k resolution !
why? there's no reason that much higher resolution. Both displays have good ppi already 373 for inner and 401 for outer diplay
Sitting down with these phones in your back pocket would be heartbreaking......
I'd get the Flip 5 in a heartbeat, but the prices in Germany are crazy. It starts at 1,200 €...
I would buy a Z flip 5 but I have the worst case of butterfingers so that screen is gonna crack, esp if there is no good case to protect the front screen
Camcoder Mode. With a good case it might be much better.
Razr plus all day !!
Hey bud! Great video content like always!
Yeah that camcorder mode is cool AF
geez we're already on the fold 5? I'm still on the Fold 3
i’m still on the Z Fold None
I'm on s20
I remember the S8 being universally h8ted for being designed in a way that makes smudging its camera too easy.
So?
Becca IS The Verge
They’re making head way now, too more generation better and I’d want the concept but an Apple phone
Cliff notes - Flip 5 worth an upgrade. Fold 5 not worth it.
looks absoloute gorgeaus! wow
That flip for my wife is making sense... 🤔
I'm going to use that camcorder mode. That's genius.
I ll be switching to Fold from Galaxy S series once they give them the same cameras as the S series
Thinking about the Flip 5
A7c 2 review plz
Camcorder mode is the ONLY acceptable use case for having a Popsocket on your phone 😆
facts!
-becca
The official Unpack event is so dull and uninteresting. These videos are better ugh
Still no DeX support on the Z Flip series despite the rumours. Sorry Samsung, Motorola is still my pick.
Becky, the 🐐. We ❤ u!
I want one. But one problem. My s20 is still hooting strong
Meh, I'm good with my 3. Closing that gap will cause more cracking.
Flip looks amazing but i'm stuck in Apples ecosystem.
Score 6/10
What! already on its 5th iteration? felt like flip phones were out just not long time ago.
There is no Flip 2.
Z Flip. Z Flip 3. Z Flip 4. Z Flip 5.
@@JulienNGUYEN The 2 was called the Z Flip 5G
Can I all agree all this minimal incremental upgrades are just a way for any company to make more money out of consumers!
Unless you have a fully funded 3-6 months emergency fund and are contributing to your retirement DONT EVEN considering spending 2k+ on a stupid phone.
Hey bud 🙂
5th Gen and still 1799... absurd.
To me this phone has ethical dilemmas: if you make such big phone (environment unfriendly), such big box, why not add small quality charger. I feel these companies are cheating therefore wouldn't buy till I need it
Not impressed at all weak year
Dex?
Moto Razr40 ultra looks way cooler.
2:10 come on, why don't you swipe to enter that text?
it would be faster 3-fold
hindsight is 20/20 🤦
-becca
do not buy the fold I have a fold 4 that stopped working in my hand while I was using it and the samsung warranty did not cover it
who else is high enough to buy a $1700 phone that is still unreliable ???
I would choose the flip and do a zoom with your sweet face.
Zzz another snooze year. 2 years in a row
Disappointing. Watch what you wear 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
What is the point in having a folding phone?
Pocketabilty
Battery saver
Fun to use
What in the Them/They is going on here??!
Why are people such dicks? This video is about phone tech, not your dating failures
