I love this phone. Battery life is solid. The outer display is a gamechanger. The gen 2 processor is fast and smooth. This is a perfect foldable.

[@tanishanicole]

10+ years iphone user here, flipped a month ago & i dnt miss my iphone one bit. I still have it as a second phone but i rarely reach for it. Love my z flip 5

[@Mendezzzzzzz]

I’ve been thinking of switching too so I’ve been watching so many of these videos but I’m still a lil scared lol

[@Lee_Sohee960]

i really want this phone too. but i am so used to apple ecosystem already, and i'm afraid that it wouldn't last as long since iphones are known for their longevity.

[@rjbse]

@@Lee_Sohee960 if it helps you, samsung guarantees 4 years of os and 5 years of security updates for Z line

[@polamidget1926]

I will buy it if it comes down in prices

[@nazmeermohamudally5352]

I love my flip5

[@bryans8656]

I've always been attracted to the Flip 5. I think it's a very nicely executed device.

[@RelDaDev]

Can confirm and relate to much of what you're saying. I absolutely love my day to day with my flip 5

[@marcozg77]

I love mine too. Rarely open it. It's so useful to have a phone that can be used one-handed, especially on public transportation where most often I'm holding a grip, or my laptop bag. I also love that you can put it upright, especially for timers. I never use phone cameras anyway so I don't care for that.

[@ZachDidDat]

I used a Z flip 5 for about a month and loved it other than having a super weird issue where I couldn't receive phonecalls from iPhone users 70% of the time so I've been running a Pixel 7 Pro and have loved it.

[@catinthepeng2686]

I have the Fold 5. I traded my flip 4 to get it. I use this as a makeshift laptop, tablet (mini size), and phone. I still have my iphone 13 pro, which I find I use less and less everyday. 😅

[@MontagnaD]

I'm dailying a Z Flip5 since December 27 and it's a lot of fun to use. Everybody that sees it wants to know more about it, so it's a great conversation starter lmao I bought the Fliptsuit case but I don't recommend it, it scratches TOO easily and that makes the phone look awful I'm buying the Ring Silicone case soon :) BTW the Z Flip5 was launched in Brazil for R$ 7.999,00 (1627USD) and now it is R$ 4.049,00 (823USD) for the 512GB and R$ 3.699,00 (752USD) for the 256GB, I think it's a pretty OK price, since a base iPhone 14 128GB costs R$ 4.299,00 (874USD) here

[@jenisjennie6807]

Hello may I know how often you open and close (folding) your Z flip 5 daily? Because I read and watched so many reviews and it all said a Flip 5 can last for only 5 years with average 20 folding per day

[@SWACBUZZ]

The Android 14 One UI 6.0 on the Flip 5 is perfect. I had a previous Flip 5 that wouldn't update and had dead pixels forming by the hinge edge of the screen. I did a warranty replacement and the new one updates with no problem. Hopefully I have no issues with the screen so I can trade it in when I upgrade to the next model.

[@TrapDaily]

I had the flip 3 , loved it and just upgraded to flip 5

[@Dragomirasreviews]

the aspect ratio needs to be changed. I wish they could take a galaxy ultra phone and fold it in half. I don't mind if there is a camera bump. Im forced to choose between the very best from Samsung which is a big phone or their cutting edge technology. Why cant they allow us to have both???

[@NDLiddle16]

As someone who has been apple since day 1, I loved this video. Pretty crazy you got that for $200!! I have the RAZR+ 2023 and though I love it, I love the square body of the Z Flip 5 better -- now im stuck with this for 2 years : ( lol

[@fmak5]

Hey Gary, great video as always. I’m an Apple fanboy and have an iPhone 13 mini, iPad and an MacBook Air, but I also have the Flip 5 and LOVE IT. My spouse is an Android user, and sometimes it’s just easier to use an Android too. I love the flip size, the video features you mention and I bounce back/forth between this and my iPhone mini…but I’m about 80% committed to the Flip at this point. I hope future versions have a bit better camera quality, but overall I’m very happy with my Flip and use it more than my iPhone!

[@Starringstormy]

I'm happy i switched. I love being able to change EVERYTHING in my phone. I miss a lot about my iphone but i love a lot about this phone. I do wish samsung care was included like applecare the first yr

[@BigJeffroeX438]

I went with the Motorola Razr Plus when it dropped. And I still love it it's held up really well. I'll probably get the flip 6 once it drops thanks for the video keep up the great work.

This is the first video I've seen that mentioned DeX functionality missing. And I was almost ready to order! 😅

[@_ceryoo_7170]

Thanks ! Really good video

[@TheEverydayDad]

Thanks very much!

[@ljacobs357]

I'm really enjoying mine. With good Lock installed I use the cover display about 70% of the time. Don't have much need to open the phone. I agree about the lack of Dex. It is a missed opportunity. The cameras are OK but not great.

[@rick00770]

Got mine last week, wasn’t too impressed till I watch some videos on features. I’m liking the folded display as much as the main screen, lot of fun, really impressed with all the things you can do, battery scared me but it’s pretty good so far. Well done Samsung.

[@urura1645]

Is it still work good?

[@averageitaly4768]

I'm glad to say that i flipped as well, but only two weeks ago 😂 Flip 5 is the best❤❤❤

[@urura1645]

How is it now?

[@nintendolover114]

Gary, WRONG. the galaxy watch plays KZbin through the Samsung web browser

[@rileybusse9351]

Can u make the folder part of the cover screen disappear to make it more square shaped instead of folder shaped I’d love to know if u can hide the folder part it looks weird if not hopefully it will be more squared with the flip 6 in 2024 this year cause it’s messing with my ocd I didn’t know I had until now

[@Atropos148]

Oh my god, closing it around the pants made me say a swear word out loud :D but i understand how you arive at that point, foldables really are capable of anything. Thank you for making this video, im deciding between this one and OnePlus Nord 3, this video really helped

[@user-kp2td4cq5f]

no matter what people say this phone is GREAT I just got it 1 month ago and I love it being iPhone user

[@Done-qq5le]

Does KZbin keep playing on the little screen when flipped down? Without KZbin plus or whatever

[@Zukki13]

Couldnt agreed more. My Z flip 5 become my daily drive and Z fold 4 use only for entertainment. 🤣🤣

[@R7D3R_X7]

which case do you have?

[@jakerowe5089]

I had the flip 5 and sold it after a month the screen just always seems like I have to baby it or it will break

[@swapniljoardar3921]

Everything's great. Battery and cameras need to be upgraded slightly. But definitely a phone that catches real attention and eyes!!

[@hknulzesnulnegen]

Hopefully when Galaxy AI comes to this device it also improves the camera

[@skateata1]

"I don't like it and you can't stop me."😂 stand strong my friend!

[@samujcp9151]

What type of case is that?

[@PaulGerhardt-vq3jk]

I really thought that the AI teddy bear was intimidating because it couldn't be moved off the home screen. I thought it was an eyesore. If a person has a phobia of AI, most phones have that already.

[@BlackWolf6420]

Get to the point mate!!!

[@namfam]

Seriously.

[@MarcosFMolina]

Maybe he liked that alliteration too: Z5, 5 months later, after 5 mins of ads and rambling.

[@ManuelTorres-xb1ky]

No! Gary is cool! Just 2x it. I like the rambling. Very friendly

[@ManuelTorres-xb1ky]

@Paganichi yeah you do chubby boy hit the gym, then listen! You'll find time.

[@leroyfortuin6179]

He wasting so much time explaining nothing ... 😢

[@alpacamix]

6 month ago i thought it was time to upgrade from s10+ then found samsung offer for upgrade. Heck yeah s23+ 512gb with 80% discount. i take it. Somehow in samsung eco, it very plausible to upgrade every year with almost 80% discount. Plus now with longer software support. Thanks google and samsung.

[@ChesterFoster]

My zflip5 is awesome. But the screen protector starting to bubble where my thumb goes when playing diablo immortal. Aside from the screen issue it's great. As a side note I play about 3 hours a day 😅 the device does gets and with all the rubbing in one areas I can understand why the screen protector is acting up.

[@AbdullahBarasheed]

Agree 100% they should include DeX on the Z flip

[@smartphonefan5226]

Considering the Z Flip5 supports video out, Samsung has no excuse to not enable Samsung DeX, especially since the Razr+ has Ready For.

[@couchbuddha]

Does anyone know what brand case is this?

[@cindyhernandez2263]

i’m pretty sure it’s the one from the samsung website

[@Harshith2911]

Does anyone feel the hinge becoming loose?

[@bcraftr]

the web camera feature is going to be so useful when i buy this phone i have a bad webcam that just looks bad and ugly

[@bcraftr]

There are apps that can mimic dex, and even match the aspect ratio

[@MultiNacho15]

I love this phone, and I do the same thing I place it on my hip the way you do. However, I feel like this phone battery is total trash. So I'll be upgrading to s24 Ultra for that reason only

[@CGarrett]

Yeah the battery sucks but it's a nice phone

[@CarleyGoshaw28]

Not gonna lie, I used to carry my Alias 2 like that back in the day 😂

[@q_2676]

I miss my Flip!

[@uinnovell]

Hi. Good vid. Just so you know, i have a samsung galaxy watch, i watch KZbin via the browser app.

[@im_mi_ni]

I dont know much about folding phones. Will they ever be creaseless?

[@Fabio685Shorts]

Yes. I'm sure it's a money thing tbh

[@RicheidPidlaoan]

I tempted with the s23 ultra but i dont think i can go back to a brick phone

[@cashmachine20]

Battery life is horrible in my opinion everything else is pretty good. Been around 3 months for me and I have a dead pixel, but no scratches. 7.85/10

[@sibes0633]

wish they will add dex on the flip 6.

[@antonioanaya18]

So if I don’t give a damn about Dex mode and quality of the cameras, is this a really good phone?

[@TheEverydayDad]

Yeah its a really good phone, probably the best foldable one I've used.

[@hknulzesnulnegen]

Still no, but a lot of fun indeed, it is my daily driver. However nothing compared to my S21 Ultra in almost every aspect, except for size

[@InterstateStunna]

​@@hknulzesnulnegen 21 ultra worth buying today?

[@greysonlee665]

Just got it and plan to cancel with mint mobile They gave me a case at tmobile but its clear so i ordered a black otterbox case

[@user-lz1qo5lh9s]

i have the flip 5 what is a good case i have samsung silcone case makes my phone heavy and bucky

[@TheEverydayDad]

I use the Samsung case, I don't know about other ones.

[@user-lz1qo5lh9s]

thank you happy new year i will give the case another try

[@passivaggressor]

Try ringke

[@adohira_8053]

Dbrand, makes some pretty good quality cases, they even give the option for plexiglass screen protectors for their cases

[@rich00273119]

Thanx bubba !!!

[@simo4068]

this phone is fun i love it more than my iphone

[@jadexconway]

If the person will just gonna text, call or vc why would he buy expensive phone , just to do that, expensive phone should have so many features that make them worth buying, expensive phone should do the midrange or budget phones couldn't do ,

[@ArthropodSpidey]

Will he ever learn the difference between "silicone" and "silicon?" The world may never know!

[@TheEverydayDad]

Probably not, old dogs don’t learn new pronunciations.

[@karashera2252]

Thanks for saying that: i just looked it up and I actually didn't know (no native speaker)😊

[@N3tigen]

I'm wondering How about if we cut flip 5 into half I mean Samsung can make a smallest device like humane Ai pin or rabbit r1 wearable devices as they have ai excellent work .😁

[@TheEverydayDad]

You know what, that might be a really cool idea. I mainly use it as a speaker phone or with headphones anyway, might as well have it even smaller.

[@gideondoron4019]

I've been looking for a phone with that form and size for a long time. The closest I found was unihertz jelly. Used it for a year but it's a bit too small. Hope we'll get something like half a flip soon.

[@hsientsay]

Can we get a vid on the bags in the back? Nice collection of bags

[@PollyDollyBabe]

My thoughts only. Bit to long. Battery 🔋 🙈. Fast charge, or charge on another Samsung phone? Ai. Screens bigger.. Bit slimmer the clam. And brighter. Gorilla glass? Sound 🎵?. The crease 😢.. As it is it's a long funny shape. Seriously for the price mm!! Anyway both screens front back 🙈

[@TonyDICETV]

I love my Motorola razr plus I'll stick to the Motorola.

[@AleshaVB]

I share your love for flip 5 too ❤. I got mine few months ago. I don't fold it on my clothes tho. Did once on my bra and left a tiny spec of the screen. Lol.

[@thiagoduartepezente2389]

For those old enough (me included😅) when the flip is closed … the screen makes me see a 21 century pager … so… TAKE MY MONEY 😂😂😂. I’m gonna say goodbye to my macbook air and my iphone mini… just cause i hate big phones (6.1” non foldable is already big). Adios apple…

[@user-mv7kh5sv9z]

iPhone mini is really portable though

[@thiagoduartepezente2389]

I agree… i’ve one but they ain’t making new ones..

[@oldskool.official]

The Moto Razr 40 Ultra is better imo. And it has a "DEX" option.

[@TheEverydayDad]

I haven't tried that one before, I'll have to check it out

[@Randomness662]

I definitely HIGHLY prefer the design of the moto, and having its own desktop mode is HUGE. However, I can't justify picking the lesser camera option. Although, to get the best camera option I'd have to opt for the Oppo Find N3 Flip, since Oppo refuses to compromise on cameras for their folding devices.

[@oldskool.official]

@@Randomness662 It's my secondary phone and I totally love it. Yes, the camera isn't the best. But for taking pictures I use my 15 pro anyway.

[@RJ_Uploads]

I have both and I will say that it's something about Motorola hinge that makes noise on opening it up, I have the Razr 40 and the z flip 5, I prefer the RZR over the flip 5 because of the vegan back and small display on the outside screen, but I think Motorola does an excellent job on the inner screen display, you can barely feel the crease compared to the flip 5, they both are great flip phones, I actually hope Motorola makes a foldable phone similar in pixel layout with the fold.

[@Yesiraaa]

Now another 5months

Can any former iPhone users convince me to switch?

Your video is all about sponsor and not the phone

[@eugenedfourie]

Thats not how alliteration works...

[@user-ke4rq4gk5v]

Doesn't talk once the crease...😂😂

[@stb3987]

Bad cameras, deal breaker

[@Lodi-dv5im]

The only good thing about the flip is that it folds. So it's pointless. You have to open it every time and it's long and tall so videos look crap and the crease right in the middle. Outer screen is pointless and when folded you have a bulge in pocked. So it doesn't solve any problem just adds price and complexity

[@user-mv7kh5sv9z]

The functionality of the outer folded screen makes u not open the phone as much as u think. Also, the bulge factor is negligible as it becomes very portable and it really is not a problem
