I really love my Flip5! Its compact, stylish and very comfortable to use. A little trick i have come to learn about the finger print scanner. Since it scans your print when the phone is "open" the finger print will be "upside down" when the phone is closed. so when i scanned my print, it wouldnt read it when the phone was closed. I rescanned my print with the phone udpside down, so now when the phone is closed the print is right side up. Ive had zero problems unlocking the phone since i did it. Hope that made sense!!

Flip 5 is hands down the best phone I've ever had got can do everything on the front screen with Goodluck instead of paying for a smart watch and a phone just to look at the watch then reply on your phone

[@marcozg77]

When I bought my Flip 5, they had the S23 Ultra in store as well and I just had in my hands for a short moment. But this short moment was enough to know: no, that is not something I want to carry around all day long. See, I don't give a sh*t about smartphone cams, they are all less than mediocre even compared to a decent compact camera, so that doesn't matter for me anyway. And the cam in the Flip is completely fine. What else? They are both super fast and have the newest tech. So I don't understand why you call the S23 ultra "the better phone". But the S23 is a brick. While the Flip I can use one-handed and that alone is a killer feature for me. I'm not on Instagram or any other Social media, I'm not constantly playing around with my phone. I need it for simple tasks such as changing music tracks or playlist, looking up a timetable, or starting a public transportation ride. And for that the cover screen of the Flip is perfectly fine. Even when I'm at home I often use the Flip in its folded state, simply because I can do things a lot faster using just my thumb. For the rare moments I really do need a bigger screen: no problem, just unfold it. And the inner screen is breathtaking.

[@Mr.Feanor]

Hello bro, are you still satisfied with flip5? I'm thinking to buy it.

[@samuelhere41]

Good pointsThough this is a 9 month old comment, this could be applicable to the z flip 6, but then why spend almost, or over 1000$ if you don't use all of the features?

[@robertnoblitt518]

The fingerprint sensor on my Z Flip5 works fine for me, better than any other device I've used. I have not seen the sunglass effect you described. I used my original Z Flip for over 3 years and it was still in great condition when I upgraded to the Z Flip 5, so I feel the durability is good if you don't abuse the device. What I love about the Z Flip5 is that it fits so nicely in my pocket, and the admiration of others who see my phone. And the outer screen is very useful and convenient.

had a flip 3. just bought a flip 5 and i love EVERYTHING about it. ur comments against it do not affect me.

[@rgrey]

I traded my S22U for the Filp5. I also sold my S23U and kept my favorite phone this year, the P7P as my daily. I originally intended to use the Flip5 as my backup but I enjoy it so much it's become my daily and the P7P as my backup. I've owned the Flip3 before and sold that one after a week of use. I'm on week 3 and this Flip5 just feels different. Of course it'd most definitely go back to being a backup once I trade my P7P for the upcoming P8P.

[@Thisisjustname]

I have an S22 ultra and also bought the zFlip as a back up. I am just about to give up on the ultra and just use it as a home browsing device but my flip will be my daily driver outside.

[@quazimoto5241]

Nice review! It's crazy how people were getting mad when someone posts a video shot in portrait orientation just a few years ago and now, that is the preferred format for social media. People are fickle! I agree, I'd go with the Ultra. The Flip is cute and is great for peeps who don't use their phone in a very demanding way, but for any power user, the choice is clear.

[@abigailreyes1503]

Love my flip 5. primary reason for getting this is the compactness and the cover screen. the fingerprint sensor is working fine with my phone. the crease on the screen is evident when there's bright light. otherwise, it is not noticeable for me when using it for viewing, writing and even watching videos. I guess my eyes got used to it. in terms of durability, I think it depends on how you use or take care of your phone.

[@glizz5083]

owned the flip 5 for about a week. went to the s23u after that. Yes, the flip is cool but it felt wayyyyy too cheap for the same price. Dollar for dollar the s23u is the way to go.

[@sunshineysideoflife]

I heard other people say the same.

[@DebCameron-en1tu]

ive had blackberry and iphone my whole (phone) life 33 years. im about to switch over from iphone (15 years) to android. so im really doing my research on weather this phone is any good. so ive watched about 15 hours worth of "problem/ negitive" videos. such as this one here. im not really seeing anything truly negative about this phone. doesnt matter how many videos ive watched. its 90% positive feedback. its little shit like oh the clear button is over the picture. im used to it being lower. or one video said, "the battery is not great, my screen time daily is typically 8 hours and by the time i get home from work im less than 5% life. WHO IS ON THIER PHONE FOR 8 HOURS a day???? buy a laptop if your that deep into things !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. i have 18 online profiles, 6 online businesses and i still dont spend that much time on my phone. if thats the type of negative stuff im hearing about this phone. im going to buy tmw hahaha

It's obviously not going to be as good a powerhouse as the 23 ultra, but the trade off is the size. For me, it's worth it. I'm not a videographer nor do I game with my phone, and I don't think most people do. But ultimately it's what you want from a phone, portability or power.

[@Thisisjustname]

Ive come to the realization as much as I love the note, and even thought I use all of the features the size, and weight are not beneficial to me. so this smaller form factor is much more enjoyable. Plus closing the lid has a psychological effect on that causes me to use my phone less.

OK Me Myself 2 months after this Video.... Making a Comment In the Month of NOVEMBER 2023 I picked the ZFlip 5 Over S23 ultra toe to toe because I'm tired of Big Bulk heavy Bricks in my pocket.. absolutely Love The Flip5 at 51 years old

[@euodiayoel]

This is actually very informative 🤔 I've been trying to figure out whether I actually want to switch from my s21+ to something else cause it's been years, and I was tempted by flip5. I might be able to love the flexibility, size, and outer display, but I don't think I'd like the whole inside screen experience, especially since I play lots of games LoL I don't need the outer display for my games 😂 The outer display will be nice if I have to use the timer in personal tests, but I don't think it helps a lot in a big class where I have to show the timer (yes, I'm a teacher😂). Anyway, thanks for the review! That's definitely food for thoughts 🤔

[@laner.845]

*waves* I'm one of the three spec people, lol. I also want to know usage and durability before I make a choice, but knowing what to expect from the hardware itself is an important part of tech purchases. I'm also oldschool and prefer horizontal, but more than anything in the world I want a tiny phone back and plan to use the outer screen for 90% of my use. I'm only entertaining the flip because I desire compact portability over all else. If the rest is "good enough" for a modern phone, I'm sold.

The average hinge and screens on the Galaxy flips have been shown to last way over 200,000 flips so that's 80 flips a day for over 7 years .....yeah i think that's more than enough for most people.

[@mariabaron3412]

The best answer to the fingerprint is to get it to print your fingerprints upside down as well as the correct way,that means when your phone is closed you can still operate the outside screen

[@JasonMillerMaryland]

The flip 5 makes me want a flip 2.5... just a small screen that I can use maybe 5-6 android apps and then if I want to do more plug it into a larger display that is more ipad mini sized or fold sized. The flip is great for just running around and not needlessly being on my phone all day. It's there if I need it but I am less likely to get detracted when checking something using the outside display.

[@sulena8823]

I honestly was thinking the same thing. Like I want it to help me not be on my phone often but idk how well that would work.

@@sulena8823 Seems more environmentally friendly that the screens would be independent of the computer but that is exactly what is not happening. Everything is integrated and actual general-purpose computers are not something we only need in some settings.

The finger print is like 100% accurate even so fast sometimes that I accidentally unlock the phone when I just slight get in the area of it. Saying it is the fastest most accurate finger print I have used. Face unlock is a little more iffy it needs to be almost perfect alighted with the face.

From someone who own the th Motorola razr 2020 an samsung z flip 4 Motorola was far better picture quality an the outer display you can practically do anything advantage of samsung feels more durable downside the main screen in the Motorola went green after a year plus the center had a bump where it closes visible when open after 5 months of use the samsung presently after 14 months the main screen now start to flicker green plus it shot of when close at 90 degrees so eventually that will go An those main screen ain't cheap, overall don't expect these fold phone to last more than 16 months before the main screen starts to give problems much faster if you are using it constantly
