Has Samsung perfected the flip phone? - Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5

[@MiniSmith1]

From what I heard, you are allowed to open specific apps on the cover screen and there is a setting in the "labs" section to allow non optimized apps as well.

[@TheSpartan948265]

THIS! I used Labs so I could use other apps.

[@kb24theMVP]

They always show how little they know about the phones they "review". It's like all they're doing is read the spec sheet.

[@j.francisward1897]

I get its just an unboxing, but is it that hard to check on features like this? Plus there were moments hey referred to the flip5 as the flip4, not a huge deal but just seems unprofessional

[@MiniSmith1]

@kb24theMVP They get review units early and film before launch. They didn't look at other reviewers either out of respect to their own unfiltered opinions, or this was filmed before embargo lifted. Since they only knew what the manufacturer told them, they must not have gone searching through the settings. Sometimes, the spec sheet is all they have over a phone.

[@doomy_doomy2225]

So you have to make an effort to use it like a normal phone where as with the razer plus it just works? You have to be pretty brand loyal to defend a anti consumer choice like that. Making the consumer do the work to make something work when the razer just works. Ya no.

[@nacho3570]

I generally like these videos, and the host is really nice, but some details have been slipping past the team lately. Every other hands on video I've seen mentions the fact that you can officially use any app on the cover screen using Labs+Good Lock, yet Jake complained about that twice.

[@doomy_doomy2225]

Just look at the razer. The razer just works without having to do extra work. Why would a consumer want to do extra work because they were too lazy to just make it work without effort. Ya think the average consumer will ever do that? No. The complaints are valid.

[@veryboringname.]

I agree, I think it affects their credibility and reputation. When videos don't contain accurate information too many times, it reduces the value of their videos as I'd go elsewhere with a better reputation first.

From the PoV of a consumer, the good lock and labs workaround is a hassle and many people won’t know. For enthusiasts that’s important. I agree they should do a thorough research but maybe their TG is different?

​@doomy_doomy2225 Some apps look broken on both the Razer and Flip hence why Samsung didn't want to give it to everybody because most normal people would complain

You CAN use any app on the outside screen, look in the Labs section in the phone's "Settings"

[@veryboringname.]

5:31 It was really easy to find; it comes with 4 years of major version updates (which is longer than Pixels) and 5 years of security updates. They've also released security update before Pixels in the past.

[@leonro]

Do note that the android version on samsungs is older than the pixel equivalent of that year (which launch with the new version), so I'd still consider it about equal.

[@veryboringname.]

​@@leonro It's a little confusing due to staggered release dates, but IMHO going by release year isn't a good method as Pixels are released in October while the equivalent Samsungs are released in Feb. e.g. the Pixel 7 which was released in Oct 2022 will stop at Android 16. But the S23 which was released just four months later will stop at Android 17. So for nearly this whole year so far, if you bought a flagship Samsung instead of a flagship Pixel, you'd be getting an extra major version update over the Pixel. There is only the four-month window between Oct and Feb where buying a flagship Pixel would get you an extra major version update over a flagship Samsung.

[@leonro]

@@veryboringname. I was thinking more along the lines of a Samsung Flip vs Pixel, though the Pixel fold will last even less and it's a more comparable device.

[@A_Balanced_Breakfast]

Apple still supports the iPhone 7, which came out 7 years ago. The fact that a phone that has many known defects from the manufacturer, that costs nearly, or more than twice the cost of a flagship phone is not supported to the same degree as the direct competitor is fucking laughable. Samsung repairs are also consistently more expensive, take longer, have fewer repair locations, and are just generally more inconvenient in the case of data loss (iCloud is better than any data backup system Google or Samsung provides, objectively, full stop there is no comparison) which makes it clear that these foldable phones are just a stupid choice unless you have more money than you know what to do with. The few software features that Samsung offers do not outweigh the massive price premium of the foldable phones. It's bordering on a scam considering the screen protector is known to regularly peel away from the LCD and then cause damage to the LCD when folded, resulting in damage that the warranty does not cover.

[@rakeshiyer5637]

@@A_Balanced_Breakfast Well I respectfully disagee regarding the cloud option. Samsung Cloud offers 15GB of free storage, while iCloud only offers 5GB of free storage. Samsung Cloud is compatible with Android, iOS, and Windows devices, while iCloud is only compatible with Apple devices. Samsung Cloud allows you to upload files up to 100GB in size, while iCloud only allows you to upload files up to 50GB in size. Samsung Cloud keeps a 30-day history of your files, so you can restore previous versions if necessary. iCloud only keeps a 10-day history of your files. The only best feature I like about iCloud is iCloud is generally considered to be more secure than Samsung Cloud. This is because iCloud uses end-to-end encryption, which means that your data is encrypted on your device before it's sent to iCloud. I think Samsung is also working on the encryption part. speaking of foldables, a foldable phone can be both a phone and a tablet, which can be very convenient. You can fold it up and put it in your pocket when you're not using it, and then unfold it when you need a larger screen. An iPhone cannot do that till now. A foldable phone can be great for productivity. You can use the larger screen to multitask, or to work on projects that require more space. I am yet to see any iPhone doing "proper" mutitasking. If you say no one does multitasking, you're in a group similar to Apple cult. Also Foldable phones are a new technology, and they're still in their early stages of development. If you're interested in new technology and want to be on the cutting edge, then a foldable phone might be worth the price. Wait till Apple comes with a foldable and see how it woos the market because of its clever "Marketing strategy" Also the iPhone 7 with latest iOS will be dog slow in terms of performance.

[@SEMIA123]

It's pretty common knowledge that Samsung does 4 years of OS and 5 years of security updates, I'm kind of disappointed that a channel of this significance couldn't figure that out.

[@GrandSil90]

Right? Miss me with that shit "couldn't find anything online". Literally the first result is "samsung is offering 4 years of major android updates and 5 of security"

"pretty common knowledge" isn't an official statement by samsung, so repeating that is less than useless.

I rarely downvote an LMG video, but the lack of information (OS and security support, Good Lock + Labs for all apps on external screen) which every other channel has covered or can be easily found makes this video feel just as a checked box.

[@BarryTGash]

Maybe I'm missing something but the hinge isn't the tech - it's the screen and that doesn't really change at the moment. A plastic, factory fitted, screen protector that Samsung will replace once in the 1st year for free. Don't get me wrong, I really would like a foldable just because it could fit better in my rucksack but for now even this gen is still early adopter tech.

[@mwmayerle]

I hope they've fixed the screens. I have an older model and the screen is cracking along the hinge, which is frustrating.

[@metallurgico]

[@c1fi364]

@@iamaduckquack you seem about as unintelligent as this comment would point to, they couldn't have released it sooner because the thing that makes this phone so good is all the research and development they have done over the past 4 years and all of the criticisms of the community.

@@BarryTGash not wrong but also nowhere close to correct, the tech is MOST CERTAINLY the hinge, that is the main focus of improvements this year and i have no idea how you thought that it wasn't the tech, tis gen is also closing in on the final design and should no longer be considered "early adopter tech" because of how advanced all of the components are, the only thing that will be improved over the next generations is the screen crease, the outer screen, and the cameras, along with the typical cpu improvements over the years,

[@wouwout]

You can easily add a selection of apps to the front screen and with some tinkering run any app there. How could you have missed this

[@Goose-ez6hb]

Probably because it involves experimental settings under the "labs" feature, and not natively supported like Motorola

[@homermorisson9135]

Once more, regarding Security Updates: As it is now mandatory by E.U. law for smartphone manufacturers to provide security updates for at least 5 years, you can be pretty much 100% sure that the same will be true for all the other markets as well, as there's no reason not to push those updates if you have to provide them anyways.

[@jomeyqmalone]

Unfortunately there are reasons. Validating and getting the updates approved by each country and each carrier within that country is possibly the biggest hurdle to releasing updates for many companies. And if you think the unlocked versions of phones might get the update sooner than the carrier models, in the US is been just the opposite in my experience, because the unlocked version update has to be approved by ALL the major carriers, and usually lags far behind the updates for carrier specific versions

[@maximusmedia76]

It may have been different in-person, but in this video there was a clear difference in sound quality between the 4 and 5. The 5 was not as tinny or echoe-y as the 4. But as far as flip style phones, it has to be the best option for that form factor.

[@kaichidraws7787]

It's thicker but its also smaller vertical space wise. Like my phone wont fit in my jeans pocket lengthwise but this will even if its thicker because its half the length. It wont fall off because its inside the pocket so i can understand why people would gravitate to this form factor.

[@Hman9876]

I've been waiting for a foldable that feels like the form factor has matured. Samsung flip 5 feels like its really close. If I end up needing a replacement for my beloved note 20 ultra I may consider a flip 5

[@ZK_Reuben]

What about fold5? linus's opinion is important to me. His previous note9 that he hadn't replaced in many years made me happy as an Apple fanboy. Although he is now on the fold3, the heat of the fold3's 888 processor turned me off and the 3's under screen camera is just too easy to gaze at. Overall, I'm looking forward to Linus reviewing the fold5. if he gives the fold5 a favorable review, I'll be able to go many years without replacing my phone and save a ton of money.😂

[@jomeyqmalone]

We've reached the point where the external screen is bigger and higher res than my first android phone (Acer Liquid E) Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Smart watches blew past it in other specs a long time ago

[@Deja117]

I see some downsides to a foldable. The bulkiness is 1 thing to take into consideration, the longevity of the screen is also another thing you should think of... There's also not as much space for battery, since you either use 2 smaller batteries, or 1 battery that only goes on half of the phone, with the external display on the other half. Honestly just seems like a fun gimmick to me.

[@UnyieldingMass]

Gotta say, I got the Rzer + folding phone and I almost never open the phone. The cover screen is more than good enough for what I use a phone for, and the best part is that I can put it in my shirt pocket.

[@XxMsrSzprzxX]

Thanks for pointing out what basically no other reviewers did in regards to the Razr's cover display. Its a marketing gimmick and a spec sheet tick. They just wanted to claim they had the most diagonal space even if its taken up in the edge by cameras. In full screen mode you're losing half an app's navigation panel, how is that acceptable? If you force a square aspect ratio on the Razr to have useable apps, the working area is considerably smaller than the Z Flip5's.

[@labmeeting]

Just went with the Flip 5 as a part of my digital reduction attempt, along with a Withings watch. Open for the experiment. There's always the S24 around the corner if this doesn't work out!

[@rbasi25]

how do you like your flip 5? I would love an update as I am debating if I should get this.

[@labmeeting]

Honestly, this is the most fun and interesting phone I've had in a very long time. Seems obvious but: you get a normal slab phone, so no big deal there, but you also get a compact screen to use more minimally as you wish (starting podcasts, checking messages etc...). It's definitely reduced my screen time, and has added a little quirk into my life. Don't think I'm going back to a slab phone any time soon. Only downside: no zoom camera. Not a huge deal, but if you take full advantage of the multiple cameras on flagship phones, you'll definitely notice the fewer lenses

[@Anna_Rae]

My best friend recently got the flip 5 and loves it. She’s able to fit more stuff in her mini purse thanks to that form factor. She also said she likes being able to do light tasks on the cover display, and that helps her not get so easily sucked into using her phone for hours.

[@vinicius401]

Thank you for taking your time to share your friend's input. I'm also interested in this phone mainly for not get sucked into other stuff in full screen. I'm glad it works for your friend. Also, flipping it open and closed has got to be a great for fidgetting.

You can use pretty much whatever app you want on the cover screen using labs and the update schedule is pretty well known as well.

If this was just a few minute video just showing the initial impressions and then they were going to follow up with a full review video on the LTT channel I'd feel differently but the LTT channel doesn't do reviews nearly as much as they used to And I wouldn't expect to see a review of this phone on that channel.

[@neruwu]

before they had a full outside screen i'd agree but now it's really useful. The smaller form factor makes the device much easier to handle when on the go since it fits perfectly in one hand and all UI elements can be used with one thumb. No more dual wielding the phone to navigate it, no more balancing of a huge glass slab, easier to stow away and it uses less battery when on the outside screen (though that point is kinda lessened by flip phones having smaller batteries)

The quality of the video is On par if not better compare to my 13 pro max. I’m tired of big phones and I miss my razor phone so I bought this razor-quasi phone and it did not disappoint. I used this primarily for call and text - haven’t tried vid call though I never used it that way anyways. I am not big in cameras so I can’t speak for that either. If I am in the meeting and need to send a bunch of pdf or different types of email, then I use my iPad Pro with or without keyboard.

I've never been a fan of the flip phones, liked the Tmobile Sidekick, or the Sony Ericsson phones a lot. My sister and father had the motorola razr phones but I'm not an Android fan. I had a samsung galaxy 5 or something and it was constantly freezing on me that I had to take my cover and my case off and then the battery and all that several times so I went back to Iphone, they never glitch or freeze on me so it was an easy choice for me. I hated having to do that with the Samsung phone so if Iphone has a flip phone version maybe but never Android again for me no thank you.

I dont understand, why Samsung don't want the camera under the display in the flip.

Im sorry but why are we undermining the Motorola razr ultra here, it has LTPO display on both inside and outside, both high refresh rate, actually has a dust resistance rating, bigger battery, faster charging. Only downset is the sd 8+ gen 1 chipset in it. Which I feel is better optimised by now.

Samsung never releases more widgets. You can activate being able to use a few selected apps on the coverscreen via the labs settings, but that's all you can do unless you download the Goodlock app to give you full functionality. It's very dumb of Samsung to limit the phone in this way when Motorola gives you full functionality on the Razr+ right out of the box.

It has a option to use more apps

I was Able to upgrade From my Flip4 to a flip5 512 GB model for only a 100 dollars. No-brainer.

Short circuit reviews are getting worse and worse. Just do your homework before doing a review/unboxing. I can not understand how Linus can accept this. You have a whole team to figure things out. There are youtubers alone with 100k subs doing a better job. Stop doing unboxings to check a box off.

I always wanted to ask, why those top-down shot are always so noisy??🤣😂😂
