Flips definitely have their fans - and I get it. Flip5 should be a decent upgrade for that big cover screen.

Because no space

who the fok said it has poor battery? 8 gen 2 already efficient,and where they gonna fit 5000 mah in you a rse?

The battery is far from poor the battery life is good it's not S23 Ultra good but it's good

Where are they going to put those batteries? 😂 they don't have space 🤷‍♂️

How has that fold 2 held up !

@qlovox this thing was a beast. Had some issues, like sand getting inside the hinge, but that was my fault. I've constantly dealt with air bubbles under the pre-installed screen protector for over a year, but that wasn't a huge issue to the point where I didn't want another Fold. It was a great experience overall and I'm looking forward to a more refined experience.

Going from fold 4 to flip 5 made me miss my fold

i am thinking of getting the flip 5 too but im afraid that it will not be durable enough . can you tell me about your experience with flip 2 ? did you find it durable ? did the oled screen burned after continuous use ? do opening and closing the phone a lot damages the screen inside ?

Get flip 5 and s9 plus tablet together which will still be few dollars cheaper than getting fold 5 alone

Thank you!

I agree with the video , but the phone is another piece of rubbish 😭

What phone do you owner now?

Was it worth it?

Me too, fingers crossed,but shouldn't you wait until it is coming before checking the detail. As someone who used to use Samsung's TouchWiz which was HATED. It was still ultimately Android at the end of the day. It won't be so bad it would put me off and especially when you've always got the Launcher option. I'd say it was Safe. Chinese yes but nothing to do with Huawei. Although my brother has a Huawei laptop recommended by me so I think they're fine too.

Yeah the V2 is the design to beat for a full size foldable. Don't think there's a firm UK or Europe release date as yet but maybe we'll know more after IFA in early Sept.

Sometimes it feels like Samsung are drip feeding new ideas so they have something for next year

ive never once opened or used dex, i have a laptop

Thanks Martin! I appreciate that. As you say this is a first-look and all creators basically had the same information

Yeah - when you forget and fold your iPhone and get that crunching noise...

@@Thetechchap Funny I still remember the old Nokia flip phones ha-ha with Snake!!

@@Thetechchap Or even the Nokia matrix phone we used to call it the hug your face phone! those were the days haha!

Would you mind sharing why you prefer a flip? I'm on the fence on getting one and having a difficult time seeing why people like them.

@@dashogunz 1. It's really quite comfortable in my pockets due to the smaller footprint. 2. My screen is always protected when my phone is closed and sitting in my bag or pocket. 3. I enjoy proping it up and reading or video calling while my hands are busy doing other things like eating or typing. 4. It just feels great to fidget with closing and opening the phone when I need to use it. 5. It's a ;pt strpnger than you think. I've dropped and beat my phone up, and have never had a cracked screen or glass panel// I do have to mention though if you love scrolling and consuming media with your phone, a flip isn't for you. The battery really isn't great. The camera's aren't the best in class either. But for my personal needs and expectations (how I use my phone daily), it's absolutely perfect.

Understandable but hey you could pay $50 and have a much bigger cover screen and a thinner phone. If it was full price going from the 4, I'd say no but I think it's worth it. I have a flip 3 and wanted to get the fold 5 but I think I'll wind up getting the flip 5 and hold out for the fold 6 or 7

I feel like the cover screen upgrade alone is worth $50 trade-in/bill credit? I would 1,000% do it! Getting mine Next week ♡

Why avoid

So, once it gets these better features...then you'll avoid it?

@@elementzero7083 my bad worded it wrong 😂😂

Contractually mandated

Crease is a little less noticeable on Fold 5 vs Fold 4 (didn't mention that)

the moto razr flip phone is out here doing it's best too! Really good for innovation

Yeah it's pricey. Hopefully more competition will help

I'm sure it doesn't

Sadly not

So weird why not when the S23 does.

Oh, that's really bad. Don't care much myself because I also have the s22 ultra but I couldn't use th Flip4 only because I can't work without DEX...

I don't get it either. But I have my old S20 when I need Dex. But I did upgrade my Z Flip 4 because of the insane upgrade trade in.

Thanks!

Thanks! Do our best!

How is it different

@ericxplosion08 it's not as noticeable as it was on the fold 4. The fold 4 crease is a little wider and a little deeper. The z fold 5's crease is there but it's a little more shallower. It looks more like a faded straight line. I feel like people who are not youtubers that pre-ordered the fold 5 will notice that difference. And no not all youtubers are making a big deal of the crease. It's not an issue, but from a good portion of the people I follow, they tell you in their videos their's a difference with the crease. It's not a huge difference, but you will be able to tell.

Fun informations, even samsung put fold 3 as a comparisson in their page rather than using fold 4. They know the improvement is miniscule.. 😂

True! And of course most people upgrade from 2-3 gens behind., Worthy of a video I think!

@@Thetechchap I think the differences are similar to an ant

Yes, there will be some pushing Samsung products, but these are not anything other than iterative upgrades, or catching up. The latter is catching up with removing the gaps and having a more useful front display on Flip 5. Other than that the usual chip update and in the UK, the inexplicable price rise!

Did you watch the rest of the video though? Overall I am a bit underwhelmed, except for the Flip's cover scree

Thank you. My cameraman isn't too bad, either

Bro I have the iPhone 12 Pro and I’m due for an upgrade I really like the fold 5 but idk if I can go without iMessage and FaceTime all my pictures synced to iCloud

@@flowfactoryinc07 As an all time iCloud user, I’ll have to transfer somewhere around 20GB of photos to another medium, but google offers cloud storage (through phones plans as an add-on and separately) and there are a ton of other seamless cloud storage apps that work with Samsung phones. Instead of FaceTime I’ll use Fb video, Instagram video, Snapchat video, etc. I probably FaceTime 4-5 times a week now. IMessage is nice because you can always text over WiFi & I work in an area with no cell service. I’m planning on using the WeChat workaround to receive iMessages for my current apple buddies.

Just need that mythical Apple foldable now...

I can relate I been a loyal Apple customer for yrs (IPhone XS max, MacBook Air & IPad) going back to the 4. I’m getting the Flip 5 next week. I been really bored with IPhones lately, so I’m gonna try Samsung and keep my iPhone of course. LoL

Ikr? 😂 i wanna get one of them but im stil confused which one should i get

disagree on Motorola's outer screen, I don't think it's as good as the Z Flip 5 imo

Think a lot of people feel the same

@@spike5499 We agree, to disagree. :)

@@Thetechchap Love your videos.

Think a lot of people would agree

I would be very excited if Apple joined the foldable game!

​​@@ThetechchapTech ain't ready. And Apple would absolutely not be happy forcing iPhone apps on a larger display or iPad apps on a smaller one.

Reckon I'd get a fair, sensible answer?

4k60 both lenses

@@Thetechchap nice to know! For some reason the z flip 3doenst allowed 4k 60 ultra wide. But nice to know that it for the z flip 5 works!

Yep.

🥲

Fold 4: Flatter Edition

Yep will do. Wasn't possible in brief hands-on but I have the device in the studio as of yesterday

Afraid so!

Got a Mint Flip 5

It does have better design. Samsung still has it's usual software advantages

Hoping for built-in S-Pen in future for sure. Maybe next year!

I'm in the same boat as you. As a matter of fact I pre ordered the flip 5 in the Samsung exclusive grey/black.

Really?

Yeah it is - if you hold it very close to your face. OK maybe I slipped up there.

@@Thetechchap 😂 happens to the best of us

Optional case

It is a little less noticeable, yes. You can feel the 10g weight difference too

As usual - they do it in their own sweet time. I reckon they'll count on existing iPhone owners anyway so there's no rush

Yeah - especially on the Fold cover screen - it's still weirdly tall

People who love flips really seem to love them. Lot of people don't 'get' them at all

Especially where it counts (screen size)

Yeah I know - it's the obvious thing to do and still a no-go. Would help justify it's higher cost, too
