I upgraded from the Flip 4 because of the insane trade in values offered in the US. I don't take much video so that doesn't bother me but I found the Flip 4 video quality to be good. I use Good Lock on the Flip 4 so most apps can be used. I'm sure Samsung will optimize more apps for the Flip 5 to make the larger flex screen more usable.

Hey Chaps! CORRECTION, it’s 22:9 (not 21:9), and you CAN add 3rd party apps with Good Lock from Galaxy App Store.

Also ultrawide camera is limited to 4K30 🤷‍♂️

I think the Flip5 will generally achieve better battery life due to the more efficient SD 8Gen2 as proven with the S23 series. Also the cover screen being able to do way more, nearly everything on the Flip4 cover screen required the phone to be opened.

I upgraded to the flip 5. To be delivered on Aug 11th. Have the flip 4 now with 256 gb storage. Samsung gave a 900 trade in. Net cost 100 for the flip 5. Also, free upgrade of 512 gb storage. Will definitely enjoy the larger front screen!

Just preordered my Flip 5. Upgrading from a Galaxy S21 +. Brings me back to my first phone being a flip phone. In my phone carrier store earlier today I got the chance to get my hands on the device. Really liking the front cover screen. Super excited to use the widgets, especially the alarm clock at night so I don't have to go into my phone to set the times. Honestly I don't game much on my phone. I just use it for calling, texting, going on social media, listing to music I added on the phone or using spotify, and checking my emails. That's pretty much it. As cool as Samsung Dex is, I don't really need it. Hoping I get it a few days early from launch. Got my screen protector for the front cover and the official Samsung case. I'm all set!

I have a OnePlus 7 Pro, and I'm finally switching to the Flip 5! Quite an upgrade after 4 years of honest services!

i have the flip 3 atm and i didnt buy the flip 4 cause it felt the same as the flip 3. but m def getting the flip 5.. looks so good.

[viridis_vipera]

For my use case as a flip 4 owner, i don't think i'll be upgrading UNLESS they massively improve on the battery life. Bigger cover screen looks enticing but i'd rather have a huge upgrade instead of few tweaks here and there. I do have to admit after using flip phones i don't think i can move back to using regular phones. It's so much fun.

I'm interested in one, I think the folding screen works for those quick times when you want to film yourself but don't have a tripod. Which is really valuable in skateboarding.

I've had my Flip 4 (and s23 ultra for my other line) for just about 4 months. I'm typing this on the Flip 4 right now. I guess I'm unusual in a few things that do NOT bother me about the 4.

1. The crease? From a tactile standpoint, there's something appealing for me about running my thumb across the crease. I have zero issues with the crease. I also instinctively adjust my viewing angle if I'm seeing the crease while watching something. I, often confuse which phone I'm using.

2. The gap: I have a few nice covers for it, and I've never wanted for less gap. It's a non-thing for me.

3. Battery - Never had an issue. Tops off so fast that I've never run out.

4. Its light weight and slightly smaller dimensions (unfolded) make me tend to grab it off the table more than my Ultra. If I know I need more battery and will be taking important pictures, I'll grab my Ultra.

Oh, and my Flip 5 will arrive in two days. The trade-in was too good to resist.

Upgraded from the Flip 3 and I cannot wait. The new cover display is the biggest selling point, I want to be able to text back without opening the phone. On top of that with my trade in it only cost me $300.

this phone needs a day in the life video for a battery test. ive already preordered so that would be a great video to have .

[GarethFreshwater]

I got a flip 5 as my first flip phone coming from a n s21u. It's a mixture of downgrades and upgrades that I'm fine with overall. From the vid though I believe the screen is 22:9, as that's the option in full screen camera mode and good lock let's you put anything on the cover screen, which has saved the day for getting things like my shopping list on the cover screen etc. Good stuff

Just upgraded to the Flip5, and I am excited to get it! I traded in my old Note 20 Ultra and my carrier gave me $1, 000 for it so I pretty much got the Flip5 for free. I am currently using the S23 ultra but will be keeping that as my backup just in case I don't like the Flip5

@ 8:33 - with the flip 5 phone, you mentioned that the subject /person can see you when you take a photo of them - is there a button that turns that screen off? I don't want the subject to know that I am taking a phone as like in most smart phones.

[Moqqot]

Went by a retailer in order to take a look at them in person. The crease is barely noticeable on the flip 5 but the fold 5 is just tooo noticeable. I couldnt watch a movie on it without hurting my eyes due to the glare.

So i ordered the flip 5 despite being a Pixel fanboi. Left Samsung as soon as Pixel came out due to Google's software experience. However with a Pixel 7 pro with tensor they have started the decline. It is just laggy and hot. Sadly. The Flip is going to be a cool ride with testing and im going to use it as my wear and tear phone while ill use the Pixel for camera and video.

Do you think theyll fix the foto and video with software updates on the flip?

[codyscholes]

Is the camera quality different when it's opened vs closed? I've heard different processors

[PeterHerget]

My Z Flip5 arrives in a few days and looking forward to a few new features 😅. Thank you for the review.

[cinemasif]

Watching on my Flip4, can't wait for the pre-ordered Flip5 to arrive!

8:21 that selfie on the flip 4 looks way better if you look at the details, the flip 5 looks quite oversharpened. Did they change the sensor?
