The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is NEARLY PERFECT // One Month Later

I've been using the Galaxy Z Flip 5 for the past month, and spoiler alert: I really, really like it. But am I willing to use it long-term (beyond the review period)? Let's find out.

This phone is incredible. I traded in a flip 3 for the 5 and there is a night and day difference. The battery life is great for me. The 8 gen 2 for galaxy processor is fast and silky smooth. The cameras are good enough for me. The ui is great. The new large outer display gives the phone a new dimension. This is without a doubt the best phone that I've ever owned.

My man has grown a lot. Your quality is one of the best

Watching this video because I currently use flip 5 but damn I didn't expect such a high production level of the video. Subscribed!

A rear camera when folded is completely unnecessary while adding bulk, cost of manufacturing, complexity, reduced space for battery. It is absolutely not worth it. Just unfold the phone like any normal person and you will have a regular quality smartphone camera. If you cannot be bothered to unfold a folding phone and thinks that's too much of a process for taking pictures, then this phone is not meant for you.

My definition of "light use" must be very different from Sam's. He complains about "10-20% after a full day of light use", while mine is set to only charge to 85% and I often go for two days between charging and even then I can't remember seeing it below 20%.

4k to 500k. Congratulations bro. Continue the great work you do.

[FemiOkedey]

Thank you for the aspect ratio. That alone made this video already feel like a love letter

Anyone know what icon pack is used on the cover screen at ( 2:43 )?

[Johnnyiswhere]

So it’s NOT close to perfect. You spend the entire video complaining about the phone. Clickbait

[andrewbaines]

Great review. I have a flip 4, the only major let down is the screen protector will crack on every device eventually.

Not gonna lie, Cameras are a big thing for me for phones, but luckily I had a chance to try the flip 5 out for a few days before getting one, and personally, I think the photos are pretty good. Not as good as the S-series cameras, but good enough. It honestly makes me think of a non pro iphone to be perfectly honest in terms of camera and pictures. The lack of telephoto is a bummer and sure when zooming it can get a little grainy, but for just point and shooting or taking videos, it's pretty damn good compared to the flip 4 and that's due to the 8 gen 2 and Samsung's processing. Needless to say, I ordered my flip 5 and it'll be here Monday. Like I said, thank god I was able to test it because it assured me that I actually wanted it.

Same happened to me, had a hard time trying to get one, at last, I got mine, it's awesome

[kindofanmol]

This is the first foldable that might just convince me to switch. Its so tempting!

[hknulzesnulnegen]

Thank you for the video, well done!
Once used to it, which happens very quickly, it is so weird to see other people not flip-close their regular phones before putting it away lol.
Love my Flip 5, although I miss the telefoto lens as mentioned. But I get so much fun in return, I think I will stay on the Flip side. Still have the S21U as backup though

I also have a flip 5 and while the phone is great and i really cannot tell a huge difference with the cameras from my iPhone 13 Pro I had before, the battery sucks so much. On a light day I can finish my day (8am-1am) with maybe 15% battery and on heavier days I need to recharge at 5pm-ish.

For the same everyday use my iPhone would have 30-40% battery at night and I almost never would charge it during the day.

[zerokool-]

How much bigger ya want the outer display?? LOL is not meant to do everything with it close. I think is the perfect size for what it is.

[humanhuman]

Can you please share how you changed the theme of the goodlock icons at 0:49?

Thank you very much for the excellent video.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 which is almost 5 years old and it's tiem to upgrade to a newer Samsung. My faithful Galaxy Note 9 has an S-Pen, the functionality of a Secure Folder (where I store all my banking apps and sensitive notes) and most importantly an external Micro SD card slot. The intrinsic memory of my Galaxy Note 9 is just 128 GB but I use an external memory card that gives me an additional 786 GB of extra space.

The Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy S23 Ultra both have a S-Pen (a discrete S-Pen in Z Fold 5 is the biggest disadvantage I think, mainly because I tend to misplace small things). Could you please tell me which phone, the Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy S23 Ultra has Secure Folder and a slot to accommodate an external Micro SD Card to enhance the storage capacity? Thanks so much!

Great review! I have the Samsung exclusive matte yellow with black sides. Can you show how you got notifications on the cover display? I just have the orange dot. Thanks

[fishi]

I feel, most everyday users wont be able to tell the difference in the camera quality, it aint the best like the s23 ultra but its really not bad at all. Plus the 8 gen2 chip is great with rendering it
