Would you ever buy a flip phone instead of a normal phone? 👀

First
No
probably...
Nah
Yes, they look really interesting, that rear camera as a selfie camera feature looks really good.
Samsung got it right on the cover screen keeping it minimal unlike other brands , giving a reason to unfold the phone and keeping the concept of a foldable.
I will still give the W to Motorola on the front screen. Their only drawback is software support.
@@karo3529the ip rating is a huge drawback.
@@karo3529I agree you can use any app on the front screen and it's a larger display , this limits you to the apps Samsung wants you to use
can we please appreciate the amount of effort he puts into making these videos
Ah yes i love buying 1000 dollar Phone that limits wath i can display on it the glacing for Samsung is real
Arun is the literal meaning of getting straight to the point videos.
Lol you haven't even watched the full video yet
@@fitnesscat761 i don't need to watch the whole video to appreciate his hardwork.
Hi
Words🔥
even mrbeast does it
seems like 'mr' in the name think alike
I've had the Galaxy Z Flip since the 2nd generation and i literally cannot imagine going back to a regular phone. It fundamentally changes how u interact with your phone. Ive upgraded every year bc it's genuinely a total game changer
It does not make any sense to me when you have to fold your phone to use the screen on the back, why not open it and use the front screen to access to full functionality
It actually makes sense to upgrade for Samsung flip users. Meanwhile apple users literally upgrade their phone every year just because it’s trendy. Anyone who upgraded from base model iPhone 13 to base model iPhone 14 now look like clowns since basically nothing changed 😂
@@lenoxpI might be the apple care thing or wtv
100 dollar upgrade is nice too.. ha
@@lenoxpIyou care too much💀
As a 47yr old, I'm happy just to use the smaller screen, as I don't do much social media. So checking and replying to messages on the small screen would be ideal. Nice to have a phone that fits in your pocket. Great video 👍
@@zephyr139L
@@zephyr139 Totally agreee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why dont just buy a small phone?
What is a 47 year old doing here
@@santialterman3066
Because it is a small phone.
After years of being an iPhone user, I've made the switch to the Flip 5 and I couldn't be happier. This is definitely my new go-to device - it's super fun and incredibly practical
how was it going from iphone to samsung? i’m considering it myself, doing lots of research on multiple phones but i want to be able to keep all my important stuff.
How’s the experience so far ? I’m currently about to make the switch too .
the quality difference between this video and other major tech reviewers is prenominal. Arun goes in to so much depth about the features whereas others have just said ..... 'its the same as last year'. Major credit to Arun and the team on the effort they put in to providing a proper review.
*Cough cough* MKBHD. Literally clicked off half way through his video for Arun's video, and wish I did it sooner. Bro talks about this phone barely having anything new, then there's Apple, practically releasing the same phone every year and he can make a whole 20 minute video over it. Smh
@@Rash7 seriously I was looking for this comment. He barely reviewed it. His reviews are kinda getting frustrating.
Every single comment here is absolutely spot on.
I thought I was the only one who noticed this.
@@Rash7 He's an apple fanboy, what can you expect
@@androphobe Certainly better when he's literally (the biggest?) or one of the biggest tech reviewers ever
Ive been waiting for the 15 pro max, an iPhone with USB-C, for years and now that it's a month away, ive been swayed by the Flip 5. My first android phone in years, i love it! Something about it just makes it so fun and enjoyable to use. iPhone had gotten ridiculously stale
I love what you've done here : not only do you explain all the factual stuff (hardware, software, technical improvements), you also give an actual insight on what's the point in the phone, what can be the pain points and your overall opinion that is so well constructed
Thanks for the great work, you've convinced to preorder knowing what I will expect from a user perspective and not from the ads we've been fed !

Samsung definitely walking the right path. Maybe if it had a competitive prices I'd think about getting it.

It’s still much better than Apple😢

I'm all for the aesthetics of the phone and the compactness. The updated storage makes me very happy 😊 i love how you mentioned the feeling of 2 separate phones being folded into 1, i think that's what Samsung is going for in general. Cover screen for work and opening the flip for play.
I've viewed so many Flip 5 videos since the launch event, and I have to say yours is the absolute best thus far! You showed new features that I was not aware of, and I'm excited to see your (hopefully) upcoming full hands-on review. Subscribing just for that!
I'm just excited to see how the flips will be in a few years. Currently have (and loving) the regular s22 and will be looking into the flip style phones when this one starts to get real slow. I just hope that overall build quality improves and the center crease will disappear completely by the time I look for phones again.

* Sighs, opens comments *
As a person with a casual interest in folding phones each year it's becoming more tempting to switch over to a flip phone but theres still things holding it back for me like the plastic screen the cameras and the battery life I'm sure all of this will improve with time though
Same ~
Love the idea but I’m not entirely sold on the cameras and battery life.
Cameras are what hold me back.
i have the fold 4 and i cant imagine switching back to a "normal" phone
What do you mean "the plastic screen"? If you bend glass it breaks.
@@christiant.1113There have been experiments with very thin glass on foldables. I don't know how it works, but apparently glass can be bent if thin enough. Then again, that's just what I'm remembering, I may be wrong.
The Samsung software + camera app-integration is brilliant. The razr screen however is, because of the software more usable. I really like the idea of using a form factor like this in a closed state. Folding it open to get the fuller experience is brilliant. The fold however would be the better option for me because of the bigger form factor but I think that it would please a big target group to have full functionality on just the cover screen of a flip device.
Apart from the reasons mentioned to preferable get this phone, for me personally, every single time I pick up the Flip, I feel innovation. I am reminded of how far we have come with technology, every single time I flip and unflip it. It's so seamless, beautiful and cool.
Meanwhile every apple fan is waiting for iPhone flip

Never gonna happen
As a lover of flip phones in of the past..I was excited when I got the Flip 4..I love the size, it’s perfect for me. I just did the trade in and it shaved off $900 so I will be getting my Flip 5 right around my birthday and I can’t wait!
Dang lucky man (my 14 yr old broke asf)
I'm broke too my guy 👍🏼
i like the way you call a spade a spade and give an extremely good insight into the devices. i haven't bought a foldable yet and i'm not even thinking about it. but i always get the most important updates through you.
I have used flip since the third generation, switched to flip 4 as soon as it came out and I have no plans to go back to them brick phones. I immediately felt I was checking my phone significantly less as soon as I switched to flip 3 and have become more productive. The small form factor has always appealed me so much and this line up of the phones is king in that category. I must say that I need to carry a power bank at all times wherever I go but I was doing that before anyways so no problem in that. Flip for life
The quality and production of your videos is so good. I havent seen anyone getting multiple angles of one outdoor scene, and the subtle zoom ins and zoom outs feels so good. These things, even though very small, improve your videos a lot and them feel very professional. Keep up
The concept of what you need but not what you want for the folded mode is spot on. keeps you away from distraction
I can always ALWAYS count on this guy for anything electronic!!!!
the covering the phone with ur palm to reject/ignore a call is great. i use that often on the apple watch and it’s convenient when you’re in a work meeting/quiet places and need to turn down a call quickly
also the thickness is a non-issue. As a Flip3 user, you don't really notice the thickness in your pocket, and the height of the phone being halved makes it SUPER easy on your pocket, it makes a huge difference ngl
That is exactly why I bought my Z flip 4
I've thought I lost it 100s of times due to that lol.
I'm so happy to see foldable phones going the direction that they are going with customization and outer screens!
Always the best phone review channel of 2023! Great job Arun!
awesome review, i always watch you and marques for reviews and i felt his was a little lack luster in information but your review is informative and entertaining! amazing quality too
Arun is quite cheeky and well witty. New to the channel and think his videos are absolutely brillent. No click bate just straight up honest. Cheers mate.
The flip has been my second favorite device every year since it first launched, I'm loving the improvements every year.
Improving ever since 1996.
These videos are the best ive seen he makes it funny fun and factual you cant get that anywhere else keep on going guys 👍👍
I love that it fits in my pocket. Think of it as a front pocket wallet. I used to hate having my big phone and my camera.
Love how it just fits !
I have the flip 4 and the only thing that disappoints me with it is the battery (that I have destroyed), the functionality of the mini screen (which seems much more upgraded), the fact that the screen protector (not the screen itself) gets creases and folds itself up. When I pay off my current phone plan I will ABSOLUTELY be getting the 5, having a phone that fits in my tiny pockets and I get the joy of folding - love it
I had the same problem, the battery but maybe try keeping the brightness lower (or off the auto brightness) I have allowed the setting in which the phone only charges 85% and it's great, lastes me hours, maybe try that 🤷♀️
@@ahlysc8911well usually people destroy their batteries by often draining it to 0% and charging back to 100%, instead of keeping it at 20%-80% and charging to 80%, I always keep 20-80% and in 5 years my phone's battery is at 95% condition.
@ahlysc8911 probably overcharging, because that can easily DESTROY a battery.
@@starboardgaming I have it locked on the only up to 85% charge function 😭✊️
@gaimieyellsandcries SAME i overcharged my laptop using it on a monitor and i had to turn on 85% charge before i end up losing my battery 😭😭😭
For me, I think that though it may be compromising a bit on battery and other things, I really like it's design and the quality of the outer screen, and how it looks so premium when folded, much more that an iPhone for sure. Not sure if it looks better than an s23 ultra ( that phone just looks superb )
I have the flip 4 and already pre ordered the 5. This form factor is perfect and now that we can have a larger screen on the outside it will be even better.
great phone. Ive had one since the zflip 3, and really loved it so far. The issues are the weak battery life, and dust getting into the crease, but i'm glad to see that these issues have been taken better care of in the zflip 5.
This man makes one of the best tech videos that are actually entertaining…Keep it up Arun!❤
Hello
W
Why are all you commenter's always commenting about how obsessed you are with him haha. Focus on the topic. And the verdict is the phones are awful for the price. May as well get the last year's models.
But those puns yeesh 😂
Agreed.
Man at 7:09 I got a ad about Samsung z flip 5 that’s hilarious
Edit :At the end I got it again oh I am laughing harder than ever before
Arun has always been my favorite tech CZcamsrs and I can really see his improvements in how he creates his videos.
Watched a number of reviews in this phone but you being your own unique persoective thats refreshing to know!! Please keep it up
The different types of content you produce is incredible! mad respect
Yes
Yassss
can we please appreciate the amount of effort he puts into making these videos
Arun's content is absolutely awesome now. All the visuals on screen, camera angles, and him being really well spoken all make for a super engaging and entertaining experience. Great job by him and his team :)
Yes I agree with you
That’s so true
Seriously, the way you just grab attention of the user right from the start of the tech review video and make us smile through it to the end, all the while knowledge sharing, that's why you're so special Arun 👑🥳🎉😍
As an apple fan, I’d have to say, it’s a phone that is actually a unbelievable phone. What brought me here is the out screen and it’s huge. Like I was not expecting the flip 5 to be that nice.
I can confidently say that both Arun's videos and Samsung's phones are both going in the right direction. Both of you, good job and keep it up!
I’m glad to see Samsung moving in the right direction but I’m still going to have to give props over to Motorola their flip phone the Motorola Razr+ has been such an amazing phone to use, and the ui is simple and honestly doesn’t contain all the Samsung bloatware or UI issues that come with it.
lol..the bloatware can be turn off bro. We're not in 2015. My Samsung phone is clean.
the bloatware takes 5 minutes to get rid of if anything.
Samsung UI has no issues as far as I know... I use Samsung for last 6 years
Bruh Androids suck period
What issues do u have with it? I’ve thought about that one!
Always been a huge Samsung fan and even had iPhones multiple points in my life. I've always loved quirky / fun designs, and the Z Flip series has really bought me as a customer. It's such a convenient phone to have, fits so well in places, and is just a fun phone to have. I don't have a phone stand and WFH, so bring able to prop the phone without any additional accessories is suuuuuuuper convenient. The screen is big enough for me to see what's going on and follow along while being small enough to pretty much allow me to travel with ease. My only gripe is the abysmal battery drain lol Which isn't really an issue considering I almost always have access to chargers.
Best video about flip on internet
Appreciate it 👍👍
4:12 😢 No!
Yes!😁
YES!
2 years ago i got the z flip 3, i'm happy to see that the same technology has come this far. Thanks for the review.
Your fitness is looking so much better! Keep on the grind Arun!
Just got this today, after watching so many reviews, I think this is the phone for me!
It's always a good day when this guy uploads, absolute amazing video quality, Never stop!
Thank you so much for your great reviews!
I have the 4th generation, and the battery runs out very quickly, and the phone heats up many times during the day, and if I use too many apps at the same time and someone calls me in the middle, the whole phone freezes for a few seconds.
From what we see right now, these problems will continue to exist, but with a bigger external screen...😅
Agree 💯%. I loved the form factor and everything about it but sadly even with the best features in the world, battery life is a major deal-breaker. For the price point this whole concept is flawed.
Mine's arriving next week. Super excited! ❤ good review!
i think im gonna start saving up for one it sounds amazing
Always gets straight to the point, covers all the information and overall great review.

I really hope Samsung listens to you somehow on what to update, it will for sure boost their sales on these foldables if they do those exact updates
I'm just here to say that Aarun is brilliant. All of these details just to make us know about a phone. kudos!
Magnificent video my friend❤️
THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REVIEW you're a hero
I have no idea why these videos are so fun, love it so much 😍
I have the Z flip 4 (typing on it right now) I totally recommend it, it's a great phone, much more protection for the main screen hence it folds. I use it everywhere, everyday. It can slide into nearly, or most pockets. I switched from an iPhone 7 - the Z flip 5. Great choice I made for my first official phone that I own on my own. (I shared my old iPhone 7)
Wish i might’ve waited a bit longer to get the Z flip 5 now 😅
Have a great day 😃
I just trade my flip 4 to a flip 5 and it only cost me 50 bucks with promotion!
z flip 4 is much cheaper now. 😅
Arun thank u for this masterpiece video❤
I can watch & comment on this video WHILE the phone is closed!! That is epic & I absolutely love this phone!! Great video, as always!!
Even though I am a heavy iPhone user I still love the samsung flip! And the new one is just perfect! Also this was one of the reasons why I almost switched from my iPhone SE to the Flip
Very happy with that gapless hinge, it might be a small issue but it just looks so much better.
love the flip phones...loved them the last time that they were out...
I think the biggest reason people a drawn to this is the nostalgia for alot of people whose first phones were flip phones, now they work have money and this throwback is appealing
I've been daily-driving a Fold 4 for the better part of 6 Months now, and I love it. It's not for everyone and more of a conversation starter and a technological curiosity more than anything, but the large screen gets plenty of use, even as someone who doesn't work on my phone.
How are you feeling about the crease? It seems so much more noticeable than other brands. Doesn't it annoy you when you run your finger over it?
@@poopoomcgrew It's barely noticeable in normal use, just under certain lighting conditions that would even make a normal screen hard to read. When the screen is off it obviously more visible but you still forget it after a while using it. You can feel it when running your finger over it but it's less annoying than one would think, and you rarely swipe your finger across the whole screen, and the use of a S Pen Fold or S Pen Pro completely negates that problem
It is so refreshing to see how much the flip series improves every year, especially given how stale the smartphone market is
I just love watching Arun's videos 😃
My Z flip 4 was the first phone I ever loved and actually worked like a smartphone but I think I'd rather have the four instead of the five just because the cover screen keeps me separated from social media just a little bit more so I much prefer it
I believe a big thing for me is that it finally folds flat but I completely agree I just wanted to open all the way up and at least the crease in the center tends to disappear once it gets to a certain temperature but it does irk me a little bit 😂. I also want to thank you for striving to keep neutral reviews and talking about the tech and not going significantly one way on something because it's your preference I have definitely unfollowed people who became extremely blatant iPhone groupies lol. For instance somebody who I unfollowed review this phone saying that it seems like Samsung has just settled and just makes the same phone over and over again and that's somewhere where companies shouldn't be yet they gave the iPhone 12 Pro to 13 Pro a glowing review and didn't point out it has the same size screen or anything like they did in their video for the Samsung 😂. I just appreciate your pretty much neutral reviews and excitement for each individual device you do review no matter what device is. I've been doing this for 20 years working with these phones and I use both a Samsung and a iPhone for work but I prefer the Samsung at the end of the day and that's just me
Definitely, I have a zflip 4,can't wait to have this one. I really enjoyed the review
I love watching your videos while eating
Would love to see this put head to head with the new Moto Razr 40/Razr 40 Ultra! Excited to see such new sleek foldables in the market
Yeah, I find it sad when everyone hates on Motorola, competition is a good thing for the continuing development of foldables!
Finally someone who gets the ZFlip!! Absolutely agreed! I think this phone is a winner and it is interesting that this is not a phone for specs enthusiasts, it is really for normal people!
Conversely, that is why I am not inclined to buy it. For £1k, I want design, novelty AND specs. It's the only thing holding me back from the Motorola Razr 40, which has a nearly invisible crease. Do I buy that, or the incredible specs in the OPPO Find X6 Pro, which is a BEAST of a phone with an extraordinary camera...
@@poopoomcgrew That is a very good point and I wonder of how many of us is deciding between going for a ZFLIP, which sure has its constraints but surelyoffers something different, or a full specced-out slab phone like the Oppo Find X6 Pro with all the best Android has.
Had the flip 4 for a year. The screen cracked in the middle in 6 months, they fixed it and added more support to it for free. I can lukewarm recommend them. They are indeed quite novel and fun. I also love when randos start wowing at my phone haha.
Best tech CZcamsr ever! Can't wait to see large Iphone
Nice work! Great analysis. The use of screen space and applications for that space will be very interesting to follow. We're always interested in how features and content can be optimised for the screen spaces that are now available in smartphones. User behaviours, adoption of screen space, new apps/features, and the "statement effect" with these devices.
I appreciate the functionality the outer screen brings but I always liked the fact that folding a phone shut protected the screen and allowed you to throw it in your pocket and not worry, this just puts the fragile screen back out in the open again.
Yeahhh, I have the moto RAZR+ and I love it but am worried about longevity, I feel like maybe I should have waited for the regular RAZR 2023 to come out since it has a small cover screen
"Amazing device! Flip 5 combines style and innovation flawlessly. The performance is top-notch. I'm impressed with the camera quality. Samsung has once again set the bar high with this device “👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I've had mine since the beginning of August, love it and would hate to have to go back to a glass slab. I only use the whole inner screen a fraction of how I use the cover screen or inner split screen. I have all the battery protection and sparing modes chosen and I get a around 17- 21 hours use. The camera is very good, not the most excellent out there but I'm not a professional photographer so I have the luxury of being able to enjoy my phone yet still take great pictures. Soooooo much you can do on here and it's the most fun I've had on a phone in a very, VERY long time.
I love the idea of Foldable phones. With screens getting bigger and bigger, I personally feel they become clunky and uncomfortable to work with, especially if you carry it in a pocket.
These incremental improvements that Samsung is making on this series are fantastic. But the only thing holding it back from being my next phone is still the price. I don't use my phone nearly enough to justify using that kind of money. I am excited about the future though. The fact that they didn't just try it and ditch it, but have been steadily improving it, is great news. This could mean that in the future, they might be starting to offer cheaper versions that doesn't have flagship features and components, but still offer a decent phone for a reasonable price. One can hope at least.
I was hoping they came out with a smaller one too, hopefully that's an option in the next couple years
Afterpay refurbished phones, i pay 250 a fortnight and the pjone was second to new
Can we just appreciate the work which arun puts in for us
I want to go back to my 2003 Samsung Flip phone!! Those were the days!!
My main issue with the Z Flip 5 is the huge cover screen. Yes, it's more optimal and can fit a keyboard, but to me, it's too big and not only looks bad when not on, but serves basically the same functionalities as the Z Flip 4. If future generations of Z Flip phones keep the big screen, I might give it a try, but for now I think its unnecessary I'm perfectly content with my Z Flip 4.
Also, you can mess with zoom on the cover of the ZF4. 5:27
Yeah I hate how unsymmetrical the new cover screen is. I prefer the screen on my zflip4 as it cute but not too much. I also worry about how much more battery will be used one the flip5 as the battery is the same size
You can use full apps on the flex window, you can even force all apps through Labs
@LukaCuturic this can be done with both phones, just assumabley better on the ZF5 due to the bigger screen. But because of its awkward shape it's hard to tell whether the apps being used on the cover screen is actually good.
In case you didn't know the regular moto RAZR comes out later this year and will be styled more like the 4 and will probably have the best battery of any flip phone
that's where I'm at too, the big screen is so ugly and pointless imo. what's the point of a flip phone at that point lol
plus aesthetically, doesn't leave much room for cute cases 😅
I love the new outer screen. Even though the design looks like a RAYZR from the outside a little bit, it looks more premium and is no doubt more premium.
Actually its EXACTLY a Razr +. Probably one will sue the other soon. 😂
I have to give it to you... great review.... the good, the bad and the indifferent, straight to the point.
MKBHD left me with a bad feeling, kind of biased outlook hidden in all the nice speech, a hidden agenda.
Getting my Flip5 today - upgrading from my beloved Flip3 which is still going strong
The team is really doing great work with these videos. Good job guys
Hi

Average bot comment
I know right! 😂😂Watch it first ffs! It is a good video though!
Im not bot
Main reason I like the Z Flip is not because of it having the same volume, but how its distributed. When its folded its half of a phone very comfortable and small in the pocket, but when you unflip it it still has a big screen. I dont mind the "crease" in the middle because its barelly noticable when youre using the phone and not examining it up close just to say its there.
When my 1st gen one dies, Im definitely buying the latest release of it.
And also its not Chinese garbage like Oppo.
Thank you for bringing up the women's pockets thing in the video. I know how you continuously state how the compactess when folded is overrated, but if you had the same pocket struggles, you'd understand that it isn't overrated at all. It's an absolute game changer to finally be able to fit your phone in your damn pants and one of the main reasons I got into the Flip.
As someone who has been using a z flip 3 for a while, I personally love it.
Iphone fanboys be like, no its not an innovation, the only innovation there is in this world is apple iphones😂😂
This is the type of foldable I could actually see myself using. I don’t need my phone to turn into a mediocre tablet. I’ve got a 10” iPad Pro for that, and even that gets rarely used since I got the ROG Ally.
I’m still not convinced it’s worth the extra money over a standard flagship smartphone, especially considering the camera compromises. But for those that value form more than high end features, this thing looks really, really good.
dual screen bifolds like Samsung Fold 5 is better than Flip 5. But the cost doesnt justify it. Even on a standard 6.7" phone the image is big enough for CZcams. For productivity though i doubt tech from Samsung Fold 5 can replace a Surface or iPad.
The regular moto RAZR is coming out later this year and will probably be half the price of this, I have the plus and I love it. I probably should have waited for the z flip 5 to make my decision but I feel pretty good about it based on price (and I got it for free through t mobile)
