• Z FLIP 5: HIDDEN FEATU...
With all the NEW features the Z FLIP 5 brings to the table, there HAD to be a TON of corners cut especially to fit everything into the slim form factor to keep things portable. Although these "compromises" were OKAY on the Z FLIP 3 - 2 generations later and things are starting to feel SUPER laggy - especially when compared to the HEAVYWEIGHTS IN ALMOST THE SAME PRICE RANGE (s23 Ultra, and the iPhone 14/15) - so maybe its become harder to tolerate the shortcomings?

I don't understand why people complain about having scratches on phones and then don't have a case 😂😂😂

[@wilmaganoy7419]

Exactly😂

As what we say in italian....CAZZATE😂

[@mkennedy150]

[@sarahtonin07]

Right?! And I don't even have issues with scratches, so long as it's not on the display

[@extra4542]

Right? ANYTHING will scratch if you’re bringing it around and tossing it everywhere in your pocket, on a table, drops, just normal use! It’s not expected to be indestructible, that’s why cases exist lol

[@cynthiacarter532]

After using a 2006 Samsung flip phone with no camera I finally decided to upgrade this fall after I received a notice that 3G was going away next year and the family had nagged me about upgrading for years. Never have liked the large modern smart phones, saw this one in the store and no other would do. Of course my brain is a bit fried what with ALL THE STUFF it has and does. I could delete over half the apps and never miss them. But then, I'm 72 and it's a different world today.

[@DavidH-id3gr]

For what it's worth, you made a great choice. 👍 (:

[@Myself-yh9rr]

I had flip phones too but their cameras were so mediocre you may as well say they don't have one. A lot of phones back in those days also did not have micro USB but instead needed a bizarre cable that only works with that device. If you ever lost that cable you may as well throw the phone away. They usually had some sort of connector that you would not see on anything else. Then sending a text from one can be annoying if it is long at all. You can imagine I don't miss those old flip phones. The ones I had did not run Android or anything that most people would be familiar with and there were never any apps for the Brew OS they usually came with other than only the basic apps. It seemed like everyone hated them and would not develop an app for them.

[@Strontyum]

​@@Myself-yh9rrah yes, those cables. How time flies.

[@ammihernandez71]

The screen cracks very easily. I bought one in April the screen has crashed twice.​@@KOOKIESEOKJIN

[@suecoo66]

If you enable wallet from cover you can use it without opening the flip 5. You just need to hold the lower end of the phone to the card machine if open or the back if closed

[@moshiiron]

With the tap feature I never had an issue with how it scans (I even have a really thick casing on it), if anything it was more convenient cause I didn't have to open my phone and was able to access it from the front screen. Holding it was so much easier than it being open and there were a lot of times where it was scannable from a distance so it really didn't need to be entirely flat. And with the scratches, just get a case bro lol. I agree with the keypad tho, it literally covers the entire message screen so I don't even know what I'm typing when replying to something.

[@joshuaartetagonzalez2766]

Oh, can you actually pay with the phone folded? I try to open the Wallet app but it asks me to open the phone. Can I pay without having to open the Wallet app? Completely ignorant about it!

[@DavidH-id3gr]

This is a good review thank you. It makes me want to consider waiting for the flip 6, when the cover screen will be a bit larger

[@aron1179]

The only flaw to the Z flip 5 is the battery life. Other than that, it's an awesome phone.

[@sharoncrisostomo7859]

Yes. I'm still using my flip 3 and hasn't cracked at all. Only flaw is the battery.

[@tammy3257]

Battery life is good for me. I'm not a beast user of the thing but it gets me through the day just fine.

I personally don't care for the camera either. But other they the battery and the camera I love that phone

[@miruharabae]

​@sharoncrisostomo7859 Battery for my Z Flip 3 is a huge downside, but I just carry a charger with my just incase so it's not a huge deal since I'm used to it.

[@dexterdiolata]

your personality shines in this video i love the story when you dropped your phone, real world test!

[@zenia69]

Got to agree with you on all five of your criticisms of this device. I've had my Galaxy z flip 5 now for one month, and already can see exactly what you're saying. The most disappointing being the camera. Even with a supplemental app on Google, doesn't really take care of the problem.

[@hannakim9519]

whats disappointing about the camera? i wanna know because im planning to buy this phone

[@zenia69]

​@@hannakim9519. Hi Hanna. Compared to the latest flagship phones. For example the iPhone 15 pro max or the Galaxy s24 by Samsung. This camera is subpar. And doesn't do very well in low-light conditions. But overall not too bad of a camera. Unless you're looking for professionalism or top quality pictures.

[@anishajain4598]

Hi , the flip 4 inbuilt screen protector had bubbling issues in some phones because of constant opening and closing. Has that issue been resolved in flip 5? Tia

[@user-xk6em7fb8j]

I took off the screen protector and good to go lol.😂

[@rossanasepulveda3782]

My phone heats up, but worse, the screen was failing on the fold. It began with a line of light straight across the fold. Although I had no injury or misuse, apparently, the rubber seal at the fold was failing. Currently in a dispute with my mobile phone provider due to them pushing another color phone on me for the warranty.

[@SwedePotato314]

NFC works at a distance. I never once touched my phone to a payment surface before.

[@ChesterFoster]

I tap to pay with my flip5 closed 😂 same issue. The nfc is in the bottom half 😅. Great review. I think zflip 5 is incredible. My favorite phone of the year. My main is iPhone 14PM I'm so happy with flip5 I didn't even wanna upgrade my iPhone.. I'm too busy playing with flip5

[@ChilledFossilofficial]

🙌🙌

[@joshuaartetagonzalez2766]

Isn't the fact that NFC is in the bottom half... better? It's so much more comfortable, no?

[@DavidH-id3gr]

I've had a fold 2 for 3 years now and it's time for an upgrade. I want the flip next time around. The foldable screen does NOT get old, ever. I still love it and I'm sold on it. I use my Fold 2 without a case and it's smashed to hell, you'd be amazed by what this phone can withstand!!

[@nikonifu]

How do you guys buy a brand new phone and not put a case on the first days is my big question. Got a case for my flip5 asap, the anxiety would never let me stay without it.

[@ChangingTides777]

Sad that you live in fear. Grow up.

[@lizvickers7156]

​@@ChangingTides777You grow up and stop criticizing someone's else's legitimate concerns. It's a 8 or 900 dollar phone. Would you like to get it fixed if you dropped it with no case on. It would smash into a zillion pieces.... jerk

I ordered my cover after ordering my phone. Cover came before phone did 😂 so I was ready hunny

@@mistayurluv I think using a nice case is so worth the care. We can use it knowing it's not likely to break if it drops. They are so slippery without a case

How many times did you have to say "tap"? Informative video still. Thanks. ✌️

[@MonkeyMagick]

Great update for my Mini Disc player.

[@luisrivera-lopez9783]

Any idea how to make the map bigger when it’s folded? That’s the #1 use I have besides marketplace and calls and the 1/2” or so of actual map you see makes it practically unusable unless you’re going to listen in, and when the instructions to turn sometimes come up at the last second so that would cause an accident

[@BensTechTube]

Bro! GREAT VIDEO! VERY ENTERTAINING!

[@ShakuniMamaKaRishtedaar]

Thank you very much for the excellent video. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 which is almost 5 years old and it's time to upgrade to a newer Samsung. My faithful Galaxy Note 9 has an S-Pen, the functionality of a Secure Folder (where I store all my banking apps and sensitive notes) and most importantly an external Micro SD card slot. The intrinsic memory of my Galaxy Note 9 is just 128 GB but I use an external memory card that gives me an additional 786 GB of extra space. The Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy S23 Ultra both have a S-Pen (a discrete S-Pen in Z Fold 5 is the biggest disadvantage I think, mainly because I tend to misplace small things). Could you please tell me which phone, the Z Fold 5 or the Galaxy S23 Ultra has Secure Folder and a slot to accommodate an external Micro SD Card to enhance the storage capacity? Thanks so much!

[@lisb9224]

Have you heard of the screen having damage issues? My screen has bubbles under the part where it folds. I'm not sure why.

[@yamabushi_nate7825]

That’s because it’s a stupid concept. It sounds fun, but you cannot make a screen that folds like paper and use it over and over again and expect it not to fail. It’s simply not logical, Samsung has never been able to make a foldable screen that does not have this issue. Phone is still relatively new and already hearing people with comments about how it’s breaking.

[@yanniknoah]

my z flip 4 fell from a bench (so not that high) on the ground and the hinge got bent or smth and the phone only opened half way after that. Eventually there was a white stripe across the top screen, then the top screen stopped working altogether and there is a black spot spreading on the bottom screen. All of that from one minor fall that almost any other phone could take easily. I'm trying to get my data and will send it back, i'll probably try to exchange it for a different phone since this will most definitely happen again (the same thing happened to my aunt who has the z flip 5)

[@claycarpenter8625]

Commenting live as I watch this lol. I don't take pics and I have a cool case so no scratches. Easy fix dude. I have experienced difficulty with the tap but once I get it down it should be OK. Maybe lol.

[@jessekindred80]

have u had any issues with front screen running slow lagging ,I've tried everything reset ect....Tmobile is sending me another one it's not all the time but 75 percent ,it's awful ...love the phone but there's like a 3 sec delay when I swipe or even record a video on the front 😢

[@HaTTaHDior]

That's a t-mobile issue my mother and I both just had to switch providers

[@jessekindred80]

yes I had to get another phone been good since

[@RangerAlone]

My major problems was that the screen protector broke right in the middle after two months. I replaced it (twice!!). Whenever the outside temperature sank below -0 degrees Celsius the screen protector kept rising from the display as I had it opened. A really irritating problems as times. As I was on the toilet and held the phone at literary 3 decimeters from ground level I accidentally dropped it on the floor face down. That was the fatal blow that destroyed the screen. I really love the idea of a flip phone. It's small and easy to carry around. I didn't care as much about the specs. The main reason (obviously) was the flip feature. I don't think we are there just yet in that technology aspect. So I'll wait for some years, until the flip 10 is out before buying one again.

[@OhSo_Interesting]

I just switched from the flip 4 to the 5 the same camera is a little disappointing but so far loving the flip 5

[@eduardos.195]

Any problems with the screen?

[@OhSo_Interesting]

[@rayburnknowles7112]

I had the flip 4 and my screen wore out and the hinge never worked right

[@chazar338]

I agree with all of that. Had mine for a month now and love it. My only real concern is the main flip screen, during Canadian winter, how will it stand up to the cold. Guess we'll find out

[@ChilledFossilofficial]

Guess so 😭 I'm thinking more about lessened insulation thanks to the larger display -

[@swirlofsilliness]

I've saved up so much money from 4 jobs, thinking I might upgrade from the S10e to this phone if it's not gonna break on me so soon. Also in Canada~

[@HeadHunter697]

I actually just upgraded to the flip 5 after my flip 3 protective screen separated, I was due for a free upgrade. The protective screen definitely did not like the cold weather, though I had cleaned it the previous day and some moisture might have gotten under the protective film.

[@dylgongeo]

I was told do NOT open it in the extreme cold. The inner screen protector can crack if it gets to cold and opened up. So, We were warned. Even asfter you go inside, give it 10-15 min. if it wasnt in an inner insulated pocket.

[@reck7essnhurricanesteadyfu990]

Well it's officially stated to only open and close in ambient temperature which is 35 degrees F to 86 degrees F. Just keep it closed in the cold Temps.

[@drumbyte]

Great video! Just subscribed!

[@emilyinspace2255]

Really hard to tap with a popsocket i gotta take the popsocket off. Its magsafe tho and i never used the tap to pay on my a53 anyways so i only use tap if i need to

[@amef95]

I have connectivity issues with my ultra 23. After only a year. I need to get another phone. Cant decide between flip or fold. I love the camera on ultra 23. :(

[@andrewpaul1207]

the thing that bugs me the most is that google assistant used to work with the phone closed and now it doesnt, unless you revert the update backwardss.

[@StefanUrkel]

I was debating between S23 and Z Flip 5. The former has better battery life, and the latter has gotten some reports of thermal throttling when pushed (multitasking with 2 windows and other stuff running). They cost roughly the same on Samsung right now for base models. But I notice trade-in value of Flip 5 can be as much as $1000, whereas for the S23, it's about $800. For someone who plans to trade-in next year, this seems like a factor to consider. I'm not sure if I'm missing anything about the trade-in advantage of the Flip 5 though.

[@ChilledFossilofficial]

The trade ins have been rather unstable due to economic factors over the past few years, but have stayed well above $700 at pre-order

[@xXIamJAEXx]

Check the vid 200k folds by hand and another 200k+ underwater, so no real concern for me

[@ChangingTides777]

Flip.

[@shawnhall8795]

Flip

[@darkiceywolf2953]

If you have just a normal s23 then i wouldnt see a reason not to go for the flip. If you have an a23 ultra i just say stay on the ultra line. I read alot of review about the z flip and alot of the negative reviews are from peole who switch from a ultra to a z flip and then they get dispointed. Meaning most people who own an ultra will be disappointed.

[@geeeemn5010]

The screen went bad on my Z Flip 5 after just 3 months. The constant bending caused it to form a blacked out bar along the middle crease. Within minutes, the blacked out area spread to the entire screen. Phone was completely dead at that point.

[@hannakim9519]

is the lcd screen really is the problem or the screen protector?

[@TheAqualegend]

@@hannakim9519 Screen protectors going bad would have nothing to do with the OLED display having a blacked out bar or line; it is display damage. While it is possible to be a defect in the hinge and/or its surrounding components that can cause display damage on the flip devices, it most commonly happens from liquid damage, dropping the phone, or similar physical damage to the phone.

[@bishalrai2634]

No heating issue???? Try playing genshin impact it's gonna burn your fingers....any tips for this issue ...was searching for the solution from a long time please let me know if you have one... Thank You

Question for z5 flip users Fold your phone into the half open closed position, does your phone have any rock or movent in the hinge? Or is it tight?

On mine, if I open it to 90°, it stays there - but itouch it lightly and it'll move just a tad...don't touch it and it stays put.

[@xj1085]

i have never had a problem with the tap feature. i came from s21 ultra. i do agree the camera sucks in terms of picture quality and responsiveness of it. thoght i wasn't going to bother me but it kinda do battery life is shorten from a normal full day use. but it charges pretty fast, so it makes up for it. and handy power banks are everywhere no comment on dex, i never use them. i have laptop and computer for that display keyboard? i don't mind spending a second to open up the phone. i mainly i like that i can do more things without having to open the phone when i'm in the middle of work

Sound like with the tap, all you have to do is hold it upside down and then tap the white part on the pay terminal.

[@lilylu7]

My Z flip 5's inner display broke within less than 3 months of usage. I did not drop it, I didn't abuse it (like keep opening and closing). But it just broke and slowly turning into a black screen. I had to survive with the exterior screen for whole 2 months (thank god I got good luck installed and have most of my apps available). But reason why I had to wait so long is because Samsung's a huge mess and took over 1 month to get my parts. Even after they have the parts, they still fail to contact me, and I also wasn't able to reach them through phone because they never pick up (was on hold for hours). In the end, I did get it repaired for free because it's still under warranty. But the experience was horrible and I can say I'm am expert at using the exterior screen now.

[@emersonbest8463]

Only issues I've had over 6ish months are: Plastic bezel ring chipped. Rubber hinge cover malfunctioned and had to be sent back. Accidentally got my fingernail hooked into the screen protector and now it needs to be replaced.

The camera, which isnt a problem because im not really trying to take great photos, but if i was, this isnt the phone for it. 2. While using wireless Android Auto, my phone gets really warm. Other than that, having had phones from every maker, this is probably my favorite phone ever.

Ordered one in green and 512 after this video

Why does everyone complain about the camera quality? I've been watching a lot of videos pertaining to the camera, and it looks fine. When you are comparing the camera of this Z Flip to the camera on an actual flip phone, these blow those cameras out of the water. When I think of a bad camera, I think of dumb phones and cameras back in the 1990s. None of these cameras are bad like that. I truly believe you need to lower your expectations and recognize that we have come a long way in terms of our technology. It's far from humbling to hear that the camera is "trash," when it is better than every phone I've had in my life, since I've never had a phone in this price range before. As someone who has been smartphone free, using only an actual flip phone for almost two years, these cameras are not only great, but actually usable. I suggest looking at these products with a more humble mindset, because these products are more amazing than you might think.

Ever heard of phone cases?

[@illegaltendencies7803]

I have non of these issues except the tap to pay thing sux, just lucky i guess

[@Fazloexe]

I believe the nfc reader is at the bottom part of the phone.

[@erinc6878]

The tap and pay thing is bc the sensor is in the bottom half of the phone not the top like others. Point the arse end and it should work without being flat.

I JUST BOUGHT IT HAHAHAAH I LOVE IT SO MUCH

[@OurFifthLevel]

Just bought it, unboxed and I'm shocked NO HEADPHONE JACK!!! WTF😢 sad,gonna return it tomorrow 😭

[@rickybrunet2852]

5:00, yes you are exagerating because I use Samsung Pay on my Flip 5 all the time and it doesn't need to touch the reader. Obiously you need to use the bottom part of the phone (note: the top part is the outer screen, yes, I'm being sarcastic). 5:15 Lesson here: USE A CASE! And, btw, that's true for any phone. !0:39 No, the Razr + (or 40 Ultra) is not any better to type on the cover screen. I owned that phone and sent it back. I kept the Flip 5. But I do agree with you that the outer screen takes some getting used to for replies and it's only good for short messages. All that said, I enjoyed your video very much.

13:24 am not using pointed stylus. but using a rubber stylus to type this message. and avoid using pointed objects on your phone. if it damages the phone, don't complain just like having scratches when you drop it or hit it on somethint.

[@kennethsrensen1166]

i have a flip 5 and the battery is only 3700ah the same size as a flip 4 when i reach 8 a clock in the evening there only around 10% so that not satisfying. there is a plastic edge around the screen i haven't drop my phone. that edge breaks when you open og close the phone i contact samsung support denmark. they told me that edge i not physical damage so they wont cover anything and to get it fix you need a screen change tha cost 750 dollars/680eur/5100ddk.i love the phone. but this is not okay samsung dont mean it is a problem my phone is only 2 months old.

[@mone6773]

I have no problem using the tab to pay, I use folded front screen cover screen without using the inner screen.

[@thomastiesenhausen2654]

the thumbnail scared me because i just ordered it and im waiting for it to arrive and then is see the thumb nail with a crack in the middle

[@SkampyMAN]

4:54 what? man I have the Z Flip 5 and the tap/google wallet is way better than on my previous S9, like I don´t even have to touch + I don´t even have to open it

[@kinza999]

Shame you missed the biggest problem of screen cracking or blacking along the fold. Samsung warranty say its because I've opened and closed it to much ! On my third one but contract ends next week so won't be getting another

[@_foradabolha_3217]

battery is not a prolbem, we know it is only 3700. I had the S23 ultra and I bought the zflip 4 and zflip 5 later....I guess it was not necessary upgrading my s22 ultra to the s23...so I sold my s23 and got back to the s22 ultra...a new one and I could make some money , because the price for the s22 ultra is really good now and i guess something is not good with the s23....i`m talking about focus...it is not as good as on the s22 ultra.

[@kenbernabe7846]

I just gotta say it is a ridiculously slippery device. I wanted to use it without a case but it keeps falling off almost any surface. 😅
