Samsung Z Flip 5 Five Months Later - The Only USEFUL Folding Phone?

I dont know much about folding phones. Will they ever be creaseless?

Everything's great. Battery and cameras need to be upgraded slightly. But definitely a phone that catches real attention and eyes!!

Thats not how alliteration works...

The Android 14 One UI 6.0 on the Flip 5 is perfect. I had a previous Flip 5 that wouldn't update and had dead pixels forming by the hinge edge of the screen. I did a warranty replacement and the new one updates with no problem. Hopefully I have no issues with the screen so I can trade it in when I upgrade to the next model.

wish they will add dex on the flip 6.

I share your love for flip 5 too ❤. I got mine few months ago. I don't fold it on my clothes tho. Did once on my bra and left a tiny spec of the screen. Lol.

Does anyone feel the hinge becoming loose?

If the person will just gonna text, call or vc why would he buy expensive phone , just to do that, expensive phone should have so many features that make them worth buying, expensive phone should do the midrange or budget phones couldn't do ,

I'm glad to say that i flipped as well, but only two weeks ago 😂
Flip 5 is the best❤❤❤

I had the flip 5 and sold it after a month the screen just always seems like I have to baby it or it will break

Battery life is horrible in my opinion everything else is pretty good. Been around 3 months for me and I have a dead pixel, but no scratches. 7.85/10

Considering the Z Flip5 supports video out, Samsung has no excuse to not enable Samsung DeX, especially since the Razr+ has Ready For.

I love mine too. Rarely open it. It's so useful to have a phone that can be used one-handed, especially on public transportation where most often I'm holding a grip, or my laptop bag.
I also love that you can put it upright, especially for timers.
I never use phone cameras anyway so I don't care for that.

Can u make the folder part of the cover screen disappear to make it more square shaped instead of folder shaped I’d love to know if u can hide the folder part it looks weird if not hopefully it will be more squared with the flip 6 in 2024 this year cause it’s messing with my ocd I didn’t know I had until now

Couldnt agreed more. My Z flip 5 become my daily drive and Z fold 4 use only for entertainment. 🤣🤣

I'm really enjoying mine. With good Lock installed I use the cover display about 70% of the time. Don't have much need to open the phone. I agree about the lack of Dex. It is a missed opportunity. The cameras are OK but not great.

I'm dailying a Z Flip5 since December 27 and it's a lot of fun to use.
Everybody that sees it wants to know more about it, so it's a great conversation starter lmao
I bought the Fliptsuit case but I don't recommend it, it scratches TOO easily and that makes the phone look awful
I'm buying the Ring Silicone case soon :)

BTW the Z Flip5 was launched in Brazil for R$ 7.999,00 (1627USD) and now it is R$ 4.049,00 (823USD) for the 512GB and R$ 3.699,00 (752USD) for the 256GB, I think it's a pretty OK price, since a base iPhone 14 128GB costs R$ 4.299,00 (874USD) here

Can confirm and relate to much of what you're saying. I absolutely love my day to day with my flip 5

My zflip5 is awesome. But the screen protector starting to bubble where my thumb goes when playing diablo immortal. Aside from the screen issue it's great. As a side note I play about 3 hours a day 😅 the device does gets and with all the rubbing in one areas I can understand why the screen protector is acting up.

I normally use my iPhone for everything but last year I thought I would give s23 ultra a shot and was pleasantly surprised by how high end it felt as in past years they always felt like cheap plastic. I enjoyed it so much I just upgraded to the s24 ultra

I love this phone. Battery life is solid. The outer display is a gamechanger. The gen 2 processor is fast and smooth. This is a perfect foldable.

I used a Z flip 5 for about a month and loved it other than having a super weird issue where I couldn't receive phonecalls from iPhone users 70% of the time so I've been running a Pixel 7 Pro and have loved it.

6 month ago i thought it was time to upgrade from s10+ then found samsung offer for upgrade. Heck yeah s23+ 512gb with 80% discount. i take it. Somehow in samsung eco, it very plausible to upgrade every year with almost 80% discount. Plus now with longer software support. Thanks google and samsung.

Can we get a vid on the bags in the back? Nice collection of bags

As someone who has been apple since day 1, I loved this video. Pretty crazy you got that for $200!! I have the RAZR+ 2023 and though I love it, I love the square body of the Z Flip 5 better -- now im stuck with this for 2 years : ( lol

Hey Gary, great video as always. I’m an Apple fanboy and have an iPhone 13 mini, iPad and an MacBook Air, but I also have the Flip 5 and LOVE IT. My spouse is an Android user, and sometimes it’s just easier to use an Android too. I love the flip size, the video features you mention and I bounce back/forth between this and my iPhone mini…but I’m about 80% committed to the Flip at this point. I hope future versions have a bit better camera quality, but overall I’m very happy with my Flip and use it more than my iPhone!

I have the Fold 5. I traded my flip 4 to get it. I use this as a makeshift laptop, tablet (mini size), and phone. I still have my iphone 13 pro, which I find I use less and less everyday. 😅

I've always been attracted to the Flip 5. I think it's a very nicely executed device.

Will he ever learn the difference between "silicone" and "silicon?" The world may never know!

I'm wondering
How about if we cut flip 5 into half
I mean
Samsung can make a smallest device like humane Ai pin or rabbit r1 wearable devices as they have ai excellent work .😁

So if I don’t give a damn about Dex mode and quality of the cameras, is this a really good phone?

i have the flip 5 what is a good case i have samsung silcone case makes my phone heavy and bucky

Get to the point mate!!!

The Moto Razr 40 Ultra is better imo. And it has a "DEX" option.

Thanks ! Really good video

I have a question which is not on this videos topic, I have a macbook air m1 and I am looking for a new laptop ( windows or mac) could you please suggest me a laptop, for college my budget is $1200 and I have taken computer science.
Sorry my english is bad
