  • Today I discuss the 5 MAJOR issues and PROBLEMS I am having with the Z FLIP 5! Don't get me wrong - it's an AMAZING phone BUT there are SOO many different things that are lacking OR altogether NOT working and broken?!?! What do you think? Do you have the same issues as me OR maybe different problems I didn't mention?

    Want to see 5 AWESOME features of the Z FLIP 5?
    • 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?

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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)

    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.

So i like S23 but i find it a little bit kind of too small, and has nothing special as design...instead Z flip 5 has something different, new....i know that S23 has better cameras and dust resistance..but i find more attractive the Z flip 5, but i m not sure if it s woth it or not.

  • @MadameFonz
    @MadameFonz Před 2 měsíci +2

    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.

    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.
