I've been an iPhone/apple user since I was 13 with my first iPod touch. I was pretty deep into apple with airpods, an iPhone, and iPad, and an apple watch. I made the switch to Samsung when I saw this phone announced. NO REGRETS. I got the watch6 classic, galaxy buds, and tab s9+ to pair with it and I couldn't be happier. If you're considering making the switch go for it!!

Maybe this will be the flip I'll get. Always worried about the durability of these flip phones. Although I think they will be the future as they become more advanced and durable. Flat screen phones are becoming boring and people are not buying new phones every year anymore due to them not having much change and also inflation.

[@PeteMatheson]

Yeah exactly this. Foldable makes phones fun again!

I just wish the upgrade deals were better this year!

[@play_the_hits]

I’ve been a dedicated iPhone user since I finally parted ways with my original moto razr in 2010. I’ve stuck with it because I have not experienced any issues with reliability and the ecosystem had been very useful. However, this is the first phone that has excited me enough to consider switching. Bravo on the design, Samsung!

[@pendoraphael8895]

Same here iam really struggling to move but the flip is really tempting

[@shido705]

Z Flip 5 is the fourth Samsung Z Flip I've owned, and I've never had to register my fingerprints twice/upside down. So I doubt that it's an issue for most people, maybe just some glitch for Pete? I do register more than one fingerprint (usually thumb, index fingere, and ring finger) to enable fast unlocking in different positions (thumb for holding the phone, ring finger for while the phone is on the table, etc.)

[@smarties2141]

The first thing that comes to my mind is how I tried to switch to the 22 Ultra and I kept it for 3 months before I couldn’t take it anymore and got the 12 promax. However, my second thought is that iPhones are not changing as far as ultimate design and features available or new functions that mean something for at least my usage goes. I feel I’ve essentially had the same phone for 4 years outside of the 3 months. It’s time for a change I think. Like you said, the snap close after a phone call is *elite* and is so satisfying for my millennial soul. Im probably going to try to switch and hope that iPhone comes out with a flip sometime soon.

[@JaqiMeme]

We had an S24 or A24 or something like that - lol - in the family, as well as an A15 and they were both returned. The ONLY Samsung I would recommend hands-down over a new iPhone, is a Flip 5 and very probably, a Foldable. I know I might get some slack from Samsung loyalists for saying that, but just personal preference and that comes from very recently making the switch myself from iPhones to (the) Samsung (Galaxy Flip Phone 5). It is AMAZING - and I can't see myself either going back to an iPhone (which I still have), or to another kind of Samsung.

[@lazarusdeagneaux1817]

[@lazarusdeagneaux1817]

@@PeteMatheson no I had the note 20 ultra plus. It was much too big for my hands. This is a welcomed change. I think it's also why I went with the Zflip rather than the fold5.

[@hknulzesnulnegen]

Love mine too! Not the best, my S21 Ultra is way better in almost every aspect, but I am having so much fun with it and love the form factor and all the extra features it comes with

[@TheCurlyFitChicOriginal]

Beeper is invite only. Also, I haven't had any issues as all with the fingerprint sensor. It's the best one I have ever encountered. Always works on the first try wether opened or closed. I registered with the phone closed. Didn’t even think to do it with the phone open. I do turn my thumb all sorts of ways when registering though. I started doing that when I switched to the S21U because the phone was so big. Figured my hand wouldn’t necessarily always be in the same spot.

[@fuzzypic]

I did the same, I switched from iPhone 14 pro to Samsung Galaxy z 5 and I am super intrigued.

i am an lifelong apple user too but i switched to the s23 and i am happy. last phone was iphone 13pro

[@vincemiclat-k7d]

Z Flip 5 is the best flip phone of 2023. Compact, powerful and really fun to use. The window display is a game changer. The UHD 60 video camera is fantastic - content creators will love it. It really look and feels very premium too. No complaints from the day I received my preorder. Apple user for 10 years and the Z Flip 5 made me excited about mobile phone technology again

[@chrisparmer4983]

As a fellow lifelong iPhone enthusiast, I am anxious to try out the Galaxy Flip 5. If it meets my expectations it may find a place as a secondary phone. My Flip 4 did not meet my expectations and my biggest gripe with the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the large size. The Galaxy z Flip should have gone with 12 GB of RAM to help out with the more intensive Apps. My initial thoughts are that Samsung missed an opportunity to put this phone out of the reach of any competitors by going all in with the actual flagship specs. Just waiting for another disappointment ...

[@PeteMatheson]

That's the shame here for sure! Wish they added flagship cameras into these devices. But at least we have flagship chips! Really excited for that. Hopefully the 5 lives up to your hope of a secondary! I'm sticking with a fold for my secondary, love the format!

[@andyH_England]

Also, the chip although great at day to day stuff, is terrible at sustained workloads with some of the worst throttling ever seen on a phone. I saw one benchmark test where it lost 50% of its performance and was running like a three year old phone. But if you do not play Triple A Android games that will not be a major concern, but does explain why DeX is not included; the extremely poor thermals.

[@johngardner869]

Iv moved on from apple. Love my z flip 5, never going back

[@roisinp9988]

i have an iphone and samsung but i still use samsung as my daily phone. i upgraded and preordered flip 5 and im loving it so far

[@9icekarz]

I'll get the version that has a seamless crease because i do love the idea of a flip but wouldn't tolerate the crease. Everything else seems fun & bearable especially because it does offer what some smart phones don't. Thanks for the review, it was really informative

You don't need to flip open the phone to do a nfc payment. I got this phone and all you need to do is unlock the phone while closed and hold the back of the phone while closed to the terminal

[@MartiMarc]

While stand by battery life is impressive, much better than Androids of days yore, I found the battery in every day use, even when doing simple browsing, checking email and switching through native apps, to be quite lacking. The battery's performance doesn't seem to benefit from adaptive brightness and limiting refresh rate to 60hrz. Heaven forbid you want to GPS for any length of time past 2 hrs. If you are coming from an iPhone, especially a Plus or Pro model, you will want, nay need, a power bank handy.

I think its so fun.

Not a lifelong Iphone user but i have had the 3g,4,4s,5s,5c,11pro max and currently have the 13 pro i like Iphones although find them very basic and boring that however is something a lot of people like just the ease of use. I've went between Apple and Samsung i had an s7 edge and and s9 plus and i loved those phones so fun to use Android over IOS however i started to get comfortable with Apple again the past few years so i've ordered the Flip 5 i wanted a bigger screen but not a huge slab my jeans typically have no front pockets or tiny front pockets so i need the compact size and i like being able to use a phone one handed the main reason i got the 13 pro a couple of years back. Sure this isn't the best phone out there has a smaller battery and basic cameras compared to some but i'm not a heavy user and that little front display will be extremely useful for me especially using spotify or checking messages. If they ever redesign to ultra and make it rounded with a flat screen and a bit smaller i'd give it a go but for now it's ridiculously big and awkwardly designed imo. One last thing i have no clue why we get such bad trade in deals compared to America it just seems everything in the UK is worse value these days.

[@andyH_England]

There is no optical zooms like the 3X and 10X on the S23U, so 2X zoom upwards decreases in quality as you go longer in zoom.

@amfrepo OH so it's just digital zoom? I guess I didn't hear them say "optical".

@@chepiksacc Yes, it’s digital from 2X upwards, not bad to 3X as long as you do not crop in, but after that, it becomes less usable and forget about 2X or more at night. I do not think any flip phone currently has optical zoom so it’s not as if you can go elsewhere, and the Flip 5 has the best primary so is the de facto camera choice.

Hello. I have an iPhone 13 and it works great, the battery life is amazing but I wonder if if I switch to the flip 5 battery going to be an issue. Also I don't know how safe android is in comparison with iOS in terms of malware and those things, which worries me a lot as well.

[@Channel567-7]

Can’t use Google Assistant when shut. Payments, only works with Samsung Pay, difficult to get shortcut working without. Fingerprint reader very unreliable. It’s a frustrating device, I swapped back to 13 mini, and Flip sits in drawer.

[@merjem9790]

You knøw you can zoom even further even if there isnt a shortcut button?

[@applejass209]

0:07 already funny 😅😂 aha

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Yeah, I’ve been with iPhone all my life so I don’t think I could ever switch but this is an interesting video

[@PeteMatheson]

Thanks for watching either way! :) It's been fun to try it out

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

@@PeteMatheson yeah I think if I had the money just to spend, I would purchase it

[@shanice_a]

I’m definitely thinking of switching from IPhone to the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 myself .. fed up with Apple and their bs .. 👌🏽

[@CreasyEQ]

Screen protectors, available for the Z flip 5❓

[@chrism.keeling212]

Lol love the Z Flip5! Nohow, lol, why do you say zed flip and not z flip? Just curious. Maybe it's a cultural or country thing. From the States.

I wish we would go back to the days of one camera lens

[@leellewellyn9422]

Lovely phone, but the battery just doesn’t do it for me - iPhone 14 pro max just too polished

[@PeteMatheson]

Battery is actually really great this year on the flip! iPhone has some competition with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 👍🏼

[@andyH_England]

True, I averaged out the SOT for reviews and somewhere around 4-5 hours over a day, which in 2023 is at the very low end of expectations. So really for casual users like Pete who may only dive in now and then. I do think that , in fact, the target audience is the casual user so I cannot really call it a negative per se.

[@mariannegoju]

4-5 hours of screen on time is not enough for me. I can easily get more than double with my 14 Pro when I need to. @amfrepo

[@warrenbraswell9785]

So when these titles are used, are you actually switching or you doing more of an extended test? Always enjoy your content, just like to cause a stir every once in a while!

[@PeteMatheson]

🤣 haha! I do switch for usually a minimum of 2 weeks to use and abuse them properly. Some I stick with for longer (I'm actually switching between the Pixel Fold and Galaxy Fold at the moment, I can't make my mind up!) and I keep coming back to the S23 Ultra.

[@vpaigefailz]

Hi great video I’m looking to get a flip 5 from using iPhone 12 I have one question what about Apple Watch … isit compatible with flip 5 ?

[@JoshuaJ-o9n]

What keyboard theme state Hulu using mate? Great video!

[@PWong-no1wm]

I decided to change ! Just placed my order

[@therecklesswarlock6439]

we've come full circle with this phone

[@guardion2394]

Need the right braceletor or chain for this phone please help

[@lalalasuper1]

never thought to try to pinch my self with the hinge lol

[@PeteMatheson]

First test on a foldable - is it kid safe!

[@wongtanakanguyensmithlopez]

I got sick of apples b / s and switch to samsung. I have been missing out on using a real phone for so long. Best decision ever!!!

[@furst3089]

I have been iPhone user for ever. This flip is the phone who has taken me away from apple! Said goodbye to my iPhone 🎉

[@EdonTheKing7]

Funny me as well, I legit think its the smoothness of the UI. I just thought i haven't tried a galaxy in about 6 years ill give this a try and return it. I think im keeping it

[@furst3089]

@@EdonTheKing7 I love mine! You will definitely keep it❤️

[@lianet777]

I switched from the iPhone 13 to the S24Ultra. There are features i miss from iPhone but I prefer Samsung

[@jisanchowdhury2927]

Samsung s23 ultra best or samsung flipps 5 ?I am very confused about these two phones.

[@ivettenatalia96]

I have ben thinking a lot about changing from my iPhone 13 Pro to this phone but the camera, battery life, and not being able to have my music from Apple Music directly on my phone is what's somehow stopping me. How can my music be transferred to the phone if I do the change? This is a primary concern, after that, camera quality. Thank you!

[@ArshadAhamed95]

Hey, there’s Apple Music app available for Android

[@Haiithemm]

Imo im not really into flip phones, samsung is nice and offers huge variety of options and customization. Having said that, i appreciate the simplicity of iphone, so yeah sticking to my iphone 14 pro max, great review btw.

[@PeteMatheson]

Thank you! It's not for everyone :)

[@jordanjackson8873]

Samsung is simple as well. Customization is optional

[@casdavid]

I’m about to do that. I currently own an iPhone 12 Pro. Do you think it’s worth to change it?

[@slvalive]

I dont like the crease...especially if and when it gets worse...
