@@abtatti I love it

hii!! i’m planning on getting it but i’ve heard mixed reviews about durability! how has it been holding up for you?

I think we underestimate how powerful that is. Our attention is so fragmented and scattered because of electronic devices, it's important to have a psychological cue for ending one thing and beginning another. Plus, you can slam it shut when annoyed, and that's just a joyful stress reliever.

Try and buy me some, so that me too i can use good phone

YES and thats why really messed it up now totally unnecessarily. Really dont know what samsung was thinking. This is their most important phone for getting people to switch rn. Really dont understand.

using the phone open or close is the same as a traditional cell phone. no difference of time spent on phone

Or how about, putting your phone in your pocket? Wild concept. Much separation.

And if you go a bit further back, everyone wanted flip phones because of how cool they looked. My first one was a motorola with digital external "buttons" to play/pause and change songs or radio stations.

And the tech is only going to get better from here.

no its still overpriced, overhyped, and underutilized

@@gwthrpain How is it overpriced? It's literally the same price as other flagships.

​@@LarsRyeJeppesenwithout the flagship specs though

Hi how is the battery life?

@Mimi-gw7hy it's pretty good for me. I'm someone who uses their phone constantly, like for hours. And I end up charging like once towards the afternoon/evening. So if you are someone who is a casual user you'll have no problem with the battery life.

You can use the screen of non flip phones for everything and it's right there all the time

@@cowarddonnie-ji5yzy’all love bringing up other phones that don’t flip but you need to understand people miss flipping open their phones and want that aesthetic back without using an old generation phone You don’t want to flip open a phone, that’s cool but I do cause I loved that back when I was a teen

So is it durable ?

Have you had any screen issues?

Still love my flip 3 ❤

@cr9179 kinda. The screen protector that Samsung applies by default sucks (starts cracking a few months in). I got that replaced about a year in with a high quality one, and have had no issues since.

Yep

My phone is still under 2 years contract and i got few more months left, but the actual screen cracked about 6 months ago. Anyone has that issue?

Thats what she said 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This! I have a Spigen case on and still it gets so small compared to my old S21.

yea i got the fold which is cool but also huge and not so compact and easy

How's the battery on them? Main thing for me is camera and battery usage, but I also loved my moto razr and I kept it 😊

I like my z flip and I'm an old lady

​@@ClintN1990🤫🤫🤫

Me too. I mean I loved the form faction of the square, compact, 6th gen iPod Nano with its display. The Fold 5 and Motorola Ultra+ remind of that device but obviously a much larger form factor and incredible functionality. I'm actually excited to get one of these. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :)

Question for you that have one, seeing you won't have it in a wallet case or anything like that. It's designed to go into your pocket, how badly does the outside screen scratch? That would be my main worry having it in my pocket with my keys and what not (current phone is in a leather case along with my cards).

Bro, do you think you could have the tesla app working on the outside? Thx

I miss smaller sizes. I hate the size of the iPhone in your pocket (clunky, falls out etc…) I like it in hand but hate it in pocket. Every year I’m thinking about the flip and this one they came out with is nice for sure

as someone who uses a lot of early 2000 nokia phone with the same resolution as the front of the z flip 5 this is a blessing

Hey, is the flip 5 reliable in terms of folding and downloading multiple application in the phone? And also can Samsung last for 5 years compare to Apple? I’m an apple user planning to switch my old phone 8 plus to flip 5

​@@idcman6692yes it is. I owned the flip series since it first started out and Samsung is partnered with Google (owns android) and now has 7 years of garentee OS upgrades. The flip 5 has around 5 OS upgrades. It holds up really well and has long you aren't slamming the phone shut like a traditional flip phone like back in the old days and it will easily last you around 3-4 years before the hinge/screen starts giving out.

​@@idcman6692 I'm typing this on my 3.5 year old Flip 3 and it's still going strong, so I'd say yes, 5 years is possible.

How his opinion about things you don't care nor understand much is any different for you than opinion of literally anyone else?

@@1stRanger because I don’t watch anyone else. That’s exactly why it’s so unique. I don’t watch tech KZfaqrs. But he is one of the few KZfaqrs I’m always finding myself watching.

@@divinemattress Are you in love? That's the only explanation I can see with such a solid reasoning as yours.

thank you for this feedback! i held off on the 4 b|c i just didn't see enough reason to upgrade but after this review + feedback from folks like you in the comments, i think i'm ready.

It's a newer chip with better efficiency and of course the crease is slightly better. I wouldn't call it a worthwhile upgrade based on two minor improvements that we already expected. If you have a flagship phone, this is a downgrade.

The crease from 3 to 4 was dramatic. I can imagine that leap from 3 to 5 is impressive in the grand scheme of things.

A lot of people are talking about the crease but that's just a downside of a folding phone I definitely notice it on my flip 3 but I don't think it's a reason for upgrading (personal opinion)

I also have the 3 and ive made my phone last longer than everyone i know i averaging 10 and a half hours to 14hrs in a day the most just from txting was 1 day and 12hrs

@@terence.j tell me more brother … any personal anecdotes?

I’m in the same boat! I’ve been using iPhones / Apple products for over 10 years, I currently have the iPhone 12, and I’ve hated it since like the day I purchased it, which was over 2 years ago! Been contemplating on whether I should stick with an iPhone and get the iPhone 14Plus, which is a little bit bigger than the regular 14, therefore the viewing screen is a little larger, or change to the Samsung Flip 5, which I believe when flipped open, the viewing screen is the same size as the iPhone 14Plus. I loved my razor flip phone back in the day, and so far I’m really liking the features and versatility of the Flip 5! I always just never really cared for an android /Samsung phone, or I never really cared to take the time to learn and get used to using one, but this one may be an exception! I’m just not 100% sure yet, and don’t want to regret it!! 😅

I have both,, the Fold i barely take out because i don't want to wreck it. FLIP is better for traveling and daily use Imo

@@MrInfoPhillydoes this mean you change SIM cards when you want to use the fold?

@@tracyhassett4051 can i ask why you didn't like Apple? I'm on the fence on a flip5 or iPhone 14 or 15

He still says 'kinda'. His remarks really irritated me.. There was no settling by Samsung

Ez money

Yes! Me too. And it just looks so darn cool. :D I love the Motorola Ultra+ too. It safer to carry in your pockets too, as you can shove it down far enough without it poking out your pocket and so someone passing close by cant easily snatch it out of your pants or whatever.

is the phone heavy? like if u were wearing sweatpants would they fall? lol this is a really specific question

​@@impjbtw the flip isn't heavy at all. I had it in my athletic shorts all day

​@impjbtw I have the flip five and it's kind of heavy. Then again female pockets are that deep. I'd say it's in the middle though. In terms of heaviness stop the heaviest phone it's not the lightest

did you see Honor fold 2 ? how slim it is ?

how was the battery life?

I've been considering doing the same thing with my S21 Ultra. Do you think it was worth it?

May I ask what the use of a flip phone is because a folding phone you can expand into an entire tablet screen to watch things with but a flip phone's only benefit I can think of is being smaller in pockets

@@bigdonpaul I was going to upgrade to S24, anyway. Got 600 for my S21 and an additional 50 ... Total for Flip 5: $350 From all that I've read and the KZfaq reviews, I don't think I'll regret it.

@@hiramsanchez4912 What's making me consider it the most is the $1000 credit from Verizon. I could wait for deals to return on Black Friday.

No, it's not.

​@@1stRangerI really don't get the appeal. It's so underwhelming

What is so fantastic about it? The flip mechanism creates a problem that did not exist before and then a second homescreen is installed on the outer wall so that the actual homescreen does not have to be used? That makes no sense at all. Just use a smartphone without flip function and you also have a homescreen on which you can quickly answer your messages xD

@@mrdiamondhands468 This phone solves a huge issue for me, I can't use any phone 6"+ because my hands are small and phones shouldn't in my opinion be a two hand ordeal. This is finally a reason for me to upgrade, since basically no one makes phones under 6" anymore.

Just for transparency, are you also commissioned on sales of this phone you are praising?

Same, can relate

Also I am wondering why it would be hard to use the outside screen keyboard since it is probably almost the same width right?

Yeah that was a grrreatt phone!

@@matwiz20xx right, I miss that phone 🙁

Aspect ratio matters.

This is true. I tried it out in Samsung store and was surprised. I’m not switching back to Samsung anytime soon though because of their terrible customer support in my country.

I see quite a few reviews saying no decrease in the crease, but there definitely is. Will be nice when they figure out how to get it completely flat.

They've always had a minimal crease when they're brand new. After keeping it folded for about a week it goes to how you usually see it. Source: I own a Flip4

It's like buying a new car and getting a bump on the hood just for opening. But that's ok cause the previous model was worse. Seriously people, you need therapy.

​@@douglasladd9478completely flat means go back to straight phone.

What did you trade in and how much did you get

@@user-so9cy7ec8z traded in my base s22, got 650 and storage upgrade to 512gb.

How’d you get it so early

@@brandon_nope Not sure, it was scheduled for the 11th and it was delivered yesterday.

My brother got his for $100 with the trade-in. He had the flip 4. Crazy deal. I'm the ultra guy, so I always upgrade that, but I wouldn't be mad switching for a year.

I have all notifications switched off 100% for years. You can only see a whatsapp message for example when opening whatsapp. I don't even have any notification showing on the apps that something has come in. You can switch it off per app or for all of them. I love it.

I have a normal phone and you can just use the feature to hide notifications or hide their content, you still have privacy

@noveliayuki Normal phone? Stating my choice of phone is abnormal?

@@fourthgirl i never talked about your right to state your choice or the action of stating your choice, I talked about the choice itself without being rude, though being abnormal doesnt necessarily need to be a bad thing. Having non foldable phones became the normality 10 years ago, so yes a normal phone is a non foldable one

​@deedolly6144 the camera on the zflip 5 is not good. I would not recommend to anyone that cares about picture quality.

@@shinyencounterpokemon2153🤦‍♂ its more than good enough, its better than what the iphone 14 pro has

@tezy0193 I have a galaxy ultra and a zflip 5, I upgraded from the 4 recently. From personal experience the camera on the zflip 5 is inferior to the camera on the ultra. I specifically answered the questions regarding a comparison to a ultra, seeing as I have access to both devices I can provide adequate feedback. The person who asked was inquiring about the zflips ability to capture a detailed moon picture similar to what the ultra can accomplish, in all honesty no the zflip cannot. If you've tried you'd see that as fact. I'm not saying the zflip has a potato quality camera, im just saying the ultras camera is far superior, and if someone was looking for a phone with specific specifications like camera quality, then in all honesty there are better options than the zflip 4 or 5, they're not terrible but they're not that good either.

@@shinyencounterpokemon2153fair enough, sounded like you're saying its "potato" to me

that 800 dollar difference tho lol almost got the fold but couldn't justify it when I have an ipad mini already

Just got mine yesterday digging it😊

Can you play KZfaq with the phone folded?

its horrible, its just a useless toy that looks cool on hipsters.

Well closing the phone is basically common sense that you're done usng the phone, which is why it doesn't show up on the cover screen. But it does pick up where you started on the cover screen to flipped open.

Won't goodlock do that?

vice versa

🤦‍♀️

the 4 or 5?

I also feel like that grease is a lot less noticable on the Flip 5 when compared to th 4.

But couldn't it also be, because the flip 5 is just brand new and you used the flip 4 so much that the grease just got little bigger over time? Have you compared it with a brand new flip 4?
