I've been using the Galaxy Z Flip 5 for the past month, and spoiler alert: I really, really like it. But am I willing to use it long-term (beyond the review period)? Let's find out.

This phone is incredible. I traded in a flip 3 for the 5 and there is a night and day difference. The battery life is great for me. The 8 gen 2 for galaxy processor is fast and silky smooth. The cameras are good enough for me. The ui is great. The new large outer display gives the phone a new dimension. This is without a doubt the best phone that I've ever owned.
True i have the Z Flip 5 for 2 weeks now i have an 15 pro max aswell and the iphone just collects dust im selling it back flip 5 is perfection
Are these some kind of promotion comments or is it legit?
Better tha 15 pro really?? This foldable screen will disintegrate in 2 years. You know that right?@@martino1998
I just traded in my 3 for a 5 yesterday. I can already see the difference with the hinge and the outside screen, and I'm super hyped.
@@martino1998 hey! are the pics of the z flip 5 better or at least as good as of the iphone? my iphone is 11pro but it broke down and I cant decide btw the flip 5 and iphone 15, mainly because camera is the most important thing to me. Also, are photos files big like in the iphones? I take a lot of pic and hate deleting from my phone but with an iphone it's like a couple of months only before the memory is full :/
I had the 4 and now have the 5. I prefer the stiffness of the 4's hinge but the 5's hinge is sturdier when it comes to drops. I actually had to make a claim on my 4 like a week or 2 after I got it bc I dropped it from waist height on a hard floor and broke the hinge. I've dropped my 5 so many more times (with and without cases) and the hinge is fine. Also just from a design perspective, I think the 4 is nicer since you can see the pretty colors of the phone on the front and back of the phone when the phone is closed.
One major issue tho that was only recently addressed was that the cover screen would turn off as soon as you opened the phone, and that meant you could not use it in "tent" mode. Not the biggest issue since the phone can stand up on a flat surface, but I like to use the cover screen for vids when I'm washing dishes and I ended up having to use the inner screen since the phone wasn't at eye level. Suuuuuuuuuuper small issue lol and they recently fixed it.
Watching this video because I currently use flip 5 but damn I didn't expect such a high production level of the video. Subscribed!
My man has grown a lot. Your quality is one of the best
Thank you for the aspect ratio. That alone made this video already feel like a love letter
A rear camera when folded is completely unnecessary while adding bulk, cost of manufacturing, complexity, reduced space for battery. It is absolutely not worth it. Just unfold the phone like any normal person and you will have a regular quality smartphone camera. If you cannot be bothered to unfold a folding phone and thinks that's too much of a process for taking pictures, then this phone is not meant for you.
Yes im not phased about a rear camera. I like my minimalist purple look
Thank you for the video, well done!
Once used to it, which happens very quickly, it is so weird to see other people not flip-close their regular phones before putting it away lol.
Love my Flip 5, although I miss the telefoto lens as mentioned. But I get so much fun in return, I think I will stay on the Flip side. Still have the S21U as backup though
My definition of "light use" must be very different from Sam's. He complains about "10-20% after a full day of light use", while mine is set to only charge to 85% and I often go for two days between charging and even then I can't remember seeing it below 20%.
How do you set it?
@@someone-xr6ckSettings - Battery and device care - Battery - More battery settings. Turn on Protect battery. I'm guessing doing a search for protect battery will take you right there as well.
Wow I think I use my phone to much 😂 but I'm still getting a z flip 5
So basically you don't use your phone at all
I usually have 1.5-2hr of screen time a day, and given some people who use them for work have 8+hr, I think light use should mean seriously 2-3hr tops of screen on, with maybe music running in the background with it locked or something. Or using it to watch an episode of something before bed in addition to the light daily use stuff. Anyone reaching 10-20% on a phone with a brand new battery is not using it lightly. Not even a little bit.
4k to 500k. Congratulations bro. Continue the great work you do.
Same happened to me, had a hard time trying to get one, at last, I got mine, it's awesome
This is so helpful, thank you!
Anyone know what icon pack is used on the cover screen at ( 2:43 )?
amazing editing dude
Great review. I have a flip 4, the only major let down is the screen protector will crack on every device eventually.
@hobbitpsi which screen protector would you recommend?
@@andrewbaines1536 honestly they all work just fine. Though the ones easiest to apply are the ones that you start applying in the middle where the crease is.
@@hobbitpsi thanks for that.
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 tiem 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 and 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!
Quality stuff bro.
Great review! I have the Samsung exclusive matte yellow with black sides. Can you show how you got notifications on the cover display? I just have the orange dot. Thanks
It's the screen he's using. The outside display works like a samsung watch so basically notifications and things will show up on one face but not on others. So go through the display faces and you should be able to find it.
@@hobbitpsi Thanks! I found one I like and downloaded it.
I also have a flip 5 and while the phone is great and i really cannot tell a huge difference with the cameras from my iPhone 13 Pro I had before, the battery sucks so much. On a light day I can finish my day (8am-1am) with maybe 15% battery and on heavier days I need to recharge at 5pm-ish.
For the same everyday use my iPhone would have 30-40% battery at night and I almost never would charge it during the day.
That's weird. For mine, unless I'm playing games heavily on it, I'll go to bed with about 20% battery life. But then again. As it was with the original Flip, they didn't design it for heavy users. They designed the Flip series for people to not use their phone heavy, and basically use the outside display for checking notifications and stuff. It's also why with the first 3 Flips they highly suggested using a smart watch with it.
@hobbitpsi Which is a shame because the flip format is awesome for heavy users who want to carry a powerhouse phone in a compact package
@@minimumapature3361 Oh no doubt. I love the flip, I just wish it had at the very least the camera setup that at least the plus models have. I have a feeling putting the ultra cameras in it would make it more ridiculously priced.
how hard is it to carry a small battery bank with you? its not like most of us are more than 10 feet from a wall outlet very frequently..@@minimumapature3361
Guys is it really worth the price? Does this display disintegrate in 2 years as i have seen?
How much bigger ya want the outer display?? LOL is not meant to do everything with it close. I think is the perfect size for what it is.
Not gonna lie, Cameras are a big thing for me for phones, but luckily I had a chance to try the flip 5 out for a few days before getting one, and personally, I think the photos are pretty good. Not as good as the S-series cameras, but good enough. It honestly makes me think of a non pro iphone to be perfectly honest in terms of camera and pictures. The lack of telephoto is a bummer and sure when zooming it can get a little grainy, but for just point and shooting or taking videos, it's pretty damn good compared to the flip 4 and that's due to the 8 gen 2 and Samsung's processing. Needless to say, I ordered my flip 5 and it'll be here Monday. Like I said, thank god I was able to test it because it assured me that I actually wanted it.
It’s worse than older phones so why buy this?
@@PeopleRTheProblem As someone who goes through 5-6 phones a year because I love trying different tech, you're statement is false lol.
@@hobbitpsi my statement isn’t false. Your love for burning through devices doesn’t make anything false.
@@PeopleRTheProblem Actually, experience with many phones does. Like anything, it's all about experience. If you don't have the experience then you have no room to talk. Otherwise it's just ignorance. So yes, your statement is false. It's a matter of assumed opinion as opposed to experienced facts. But nice try, do come again.
@@hobbitpsi your experience changes the phone specs? Or the crease? You love the phone so that experience extends the battery life?
Can you please share how you changed the theme of the goodlock icons at 0:49?
This is the first foldable that might just convince me to switch. Its so tempting!
I had a Z flip 3 since the they first came out & I cannot imagine going back to a standard phone regardless of the camera quality, which is a sacrifice I'm willing to make since I'm not an avid photo taker & rely more on screen shots. The fact that it is so convenient & compact means I seldom have to carry it in my hand because it fits in every single pocket of my clothes. Also, not having to open the phone to take a call is incredibly convenient. I've had no issues with build quality & the software, battery life, sound quality & image qaulity are spot on. And there's no chance of making accidental calls when pulling the phone out of pockets or bags.
It's done it for me I have the s23u and although it's a perfect device it's more than a bit unwieldy so I'm definitely planning to get a flip 5 everyones telling me no tho lol but I don't care
@@kursed_aegis You get what works for you. I always do after watching many reviews & doing a little research. I then weigh up the pros & cons & look at my options & make my own decisions based on my needs, wants & finances. If I make a mistake, that's okay, lesson learned. Having said that, I usually take out a plan that allows to me swap out the device within the first 12 months. So far, I have been perfectly content with the Flip series & am now using the Flip 5. No complaints so far.
@@6ixConfessionsit’s not compact. Folding it makes is shorter but doubles the width. At terry is terrible too. Add in the awful screen crease and there’s no reason to buy it
@@PeopleRTheProblem So, everyone else should make their choices according to your standards? I must have missed that memo.🤔
You're entitled to your opinion but, I am perfectly happy with the Z Flip 5 & a number of other people I know who have bought one are all happy with theirs too. And whether you like it or not, it does fit beautifully & securely inside the smaller pockets of jeans & jackets whereas standard phones seldon did & the Flip has never once slipped out. It also fits inside my wallet. Bonus for me. As for the crease, I barely notice it & it's a very small trade-off for the convenience of having a folding phone. If you're happy with your standard style, run-of-the-mill phone, more power to you but I'm sticking with the flip phones for the foreseeable future until they come out with something much better.
One question, is it worth to upgrade form s22 5g??
Any iPhone 15/iOS 17 home screen setups soon??
Been thinking on upgrading from my Note 10+ to the Zflip5 but i am scared the Battery life sucks too much. I use my phone more then i should and i don't wanna go half through the day and have it die on me
I'd recommend getting a portable battery
The intro, the narration, Gotta admit it u my dude, are underrated asf
Thank you 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻
What about the phone itself. I found the sound volume has room for improvement.
I wish they just put all the cameras + telephoto on rear side and make cover display larger
I'm upgrading from an s10e that's battery lifespan covers my 20 minute commute to work, I think I'll be fine.
Helo..i have the s10e and looking at this as my phone is dying. How did you find the transition? It's way heavier, I'm worried it'll just feel too big despite the fold. Do you find it wide to grip in comparison? Would love to know, thanks
@@subspaceanomaly The width wasn't so much an adjustment as the length of the phone was. When I first had it I had to constantly readjust it in my hand to reach the top to drag down the toolbar but after a few months I've adjusted to how I hold it and don't notice. You'll def want a good case it feels really awkward and fragile without it, slippery, which I'd say are the only cons. Watching widescreen movies on it is great, using 100% of the screen. Video calls are great and propping it up anywhere to watch videos while im cleaning or doing dishes is great. Being able to carry it in my pocket closed with the screen protected from my keys etc. is good too.
I feel, most everyday users wont be able to tell the difference in the camera quality, it aint the best like the s23 ultra but its really not bad at all. Plus the 8 gen2 chip is great with rendering it
Even at only 4x zoom the photo quality is so bad because of the 12 mp lens.
If you don't need zoom photos are ok, but I was really hoping the rendering from the chipset would be a lot better on zoomed pictures. 2x sometimes is ok, just for social media.
I am going on holiday to Portugal in a few weeks, and will definitely switch back to my S21 Ultra to take amazing photos and all day battery. After that I really am wondering if I will use the Flip 5 again, even though the form factor and functions bring me so much fun. In the end it has to meet my needs...
LTPO is overrated
I purposefully left my phone on always-on display for 6 hours straight and it takes just around 0.5% battery for every TWO hours..
..meaning if you charge every night (16h active time) AOD takes less than 4% of battery..
..all that without LTPO. Even if LTPO somehow manage to magically DOUBLE the display efficiency, it's only gonna save you 2%. Realistically it won't save you 2% since the vast majority of the power consumption is gonna be the lighting (LED) itself
Go into settings and keep last photo mode easy
I kove mine specially for work. I have my s21 ultra for photography though
How do you not have a million subs yet 😩, your filming style in top notch
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Really confused between S23 (mind and logic says go for this) and Flip 5 (heart wants this). Any suggestions?
Ooft that’s a tough one. S23 is definitely the better phone, no questions asked. But there is something fun about the Flip 5. But if I was buying a phone for myself, it’d be the S23.
@@sambeckman Went with my heart and brought the Flip 5. Thanks to your reviews, helped me with my decision, cheers!
@@prankushahuja21
Hello do you love it? I
@@prankushahuja21 so do u like your flip 5? is it ok or you should have bought a s23?
Bro do you recommend flip 5 now?
u want a bigger front screen AND a telephoto lens?
Love the z flip 5. I'm going to get one soon I hope, I've been an apple user for years. It got boring so I got the s22 ultra. it's way too big and heavy for me.
I've had s23 ultra . Motorola razr 40 ultra and gone back to flip 5
@keithburns5082 nice my right wrist is having issues so holding the ultra is to much and I'm left handed so I always hold my phone in my right
Camera part i definitely say a big no maybe better software it to be all arounder and or u could just go SPD emergency
What about green lines on Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra Official Mobile Display after updated to Android 14 ? Very annoying ! 😖😖
Long time viewer here... The production quality on these videos man... Top notch... I still wonder sometimes why the million subs mark hasn't been reached yet because the quality of content and the production is just out of this world!
Thank you SO much!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
3:59 - 4:04 - That's a f'ed up family...
i have the flip 4 but decided not to upgrade to 5. i find it strange how they're positioning this phone to content creators and those who are heavy social media users...but the camera is still mediocre. i mean that should have been the first to be relooked at.
iPhone 13 mini battery life is also terrible. I’m used to it by now 😅
Flip/fold/roll-out phones are a no-go for me, because the screens are still what i would consider a prototype state. All of the fold phones screens (and i would assume the roll-out screen concepts, too) will eventually fail, because the layers separate.
When you take good care of a phone, there is almost no reason it cannot survive a decade in 100% pristine condition with only the battery to require replacement - but on folding phones ... no matter how much care you take (provided you actually use the phone) - it will likely fail in a relatively short timespan.
Well see that's the problem with phones today. only a very small percentage of the public keep a phone for more than 2 years. The average person upgrades their phone either every 2 years or like me, every single year (every 6 months depending on what's out). Besides, if you're conscious about cyber security (which in this day and age you should), you wouldn't want the same phone for a decade, as they stop running security patches after about 4-5 years (6 I believe for apple). And security patches are the most important thing since it is very easy for a hacker to hack into a phone, especially those who connect to public wifi. As far as it being a prototype state. Not even. Unless they can make unbreakable thin glass, which is physically impossible then no. The screens we have is the finished product. Also what layers are you talking about? It's literally a single sheet of thin flexible glass that's sitting on a metal plate. The lifting that people report is the screen protector which is just a plastic film screen protector and that's easy to replace yourself. Been using the Fold and Flips for a while started with the 3's and then the 4's and none of them ever had any issues, but then again I'll admit I'm the type of person who is 100% always self conscious so have never in my life dropped a phone let alone had even a scratch or crack on any screen I've ever owned. Hell I always buy a case and screen protector days before I ever get a new phone just so I will have it protected the moment I remove it from the box.
Just bought the phone and I am dying to know where you found that wallpaper used on the cover screen at 0:11 @Sam Beckman
Where are the wallpapers from ...they look awesome ?

New wallpaper pack coming to my shop very soon!
Eagerly waiting ❤️
The Motorola screen is shifted down. That's why there's a black bar on top. More like Motorola should shift the screen up so it doesn't cover the cameras.
I got this phone today I upgraded after 3 years from s20+ 😂😂 I love it sooo much I love how compact it is. I'm not tech savvy so it's perfect for me. Alot better than my Dinosaur phone
Shit that intro is so cool 🔥
Where can I find these wallpapers ?

Another great video Sam!
I know it's popular, but I don't think I can get onboard with this form factor. It just doesn't seem like it offers anything more than other non folding phones. At least with the the Z-Fole you're getting access to a bigger screen if you want/need it.
The flip5 is just a better phone then the razor battery camera software and hardware. The extra cover display on the razor is useless
Anyone knows the game at 6:54? Thank you!
Can anyone just be excited anymore? Why do we have to be "super" excited or "super" anything?
When are they going to put better cameras in this.
Next week
I wanted a flip phone so bad but the aspect ratio being so tall when opened always bothered me. I love phones the size of the S23/iPhone 14 (and even smaller)
Yeh, Motorola's Razr designs for each one before the new razr+ were the aspect ratio of a normal phone in width, but they went with samsung's narrow display for the razr+... Now it's wider than the flip 5, but still not as wide as the previous ones.
I would love to get a flip 5 but I don't don't it's worth going from the S22 ultra to the flip 5 :p
I am don't like my heavy super big s22 ultra I don't even use the s pen anymore like I thought I would I want a smaller compact phone I sold my iPhone 12 pro max I'll be selling my s22 ultra also once I get my z flip 5 just not into the biggest phones and more or the soreness of holding one even with a pop socket
I'm considering buying one for my girlfriend for Christmas; now, if only my budget follows my desires...
Does she want one?
Link to your wallpapers please?
Coming to my shop very soon!
Such a great wrap up and review. I am using the Fold 5 at the moment and it is amazing. Battery is so much better in the Fold!
Thank you!
I was on the fence about getting the Fold 5, but I've had the Fold 3 and Fold 4, and I absolutely hate how narrow the outside display is. I thought I could use it without care but everytime I would text or send messages I'd have a hard time typing and would constantly mess up. So basically I had to always open the phone up and use the inner display for messaging which annoyed the hell out of me. I probably won't ever touch the Fold again, unless they make that outer display wider like the Xiaomi foldable.
I’ve seen many videos on this phone. Someone is lying about the battery life. I see people claiming all day use with no issue at all.
is the fold line annoying anyone

4:40 ... WHAT!? Another camera!? Yeah that's just what we need on small phones... more cameras! Man, the solution to your problem is just TO OPEN THE PHONE FIRST. Don't push such ideas, I hope Samsung didn't hear you!
Same! just use one hand and whip the phone open quickly and snap a shot. You don't need two hands to open the phone, the hinge is stronger than you think, been opening it like that since the flip 3!
So it’s NOT close to perfect. You spend the entire video complaining about the phone. Clickbait

Amazing Fantastic Brilliant Superb Incredible By SAMSUNG❤💛💙💚💜❤
Faster charging would help the poor battery life
im seeing green bars over your videos, its prob. ur aspect ratio.
It's a phone. Every 2 to 3 days I have to load it. Use a "computer"!?
...or your personal life?
Having to deal with the horrible repair servicing for Samsung foldables in my country is an experience I hope to never go through again. The devices are great, the support is decidedly not.
okey, i v been playing lotery games just for bought this one, can someone like, give me money or something, i really want that HELLP!!!!
wow, if this guy cant open his phone, and double click on the camera side button in less than 3 seconds...im skeptical about his entire review now...
I'm very desperate for this phone u wanna give or to me for free?
Needs to be Thinner and less slippy
If you want better battery then turn off the always on display. If this day and age everyone has smart phones and smart watches, you dont need always on display. Instead of moaning just turn ut off . Its not rocket science.
God no. Please don't add a rear camera. It's cluttered enough as it is
For real. adding a camera back there would reduce the space even more and knowing Samsung, to do that we'll get a smaller battery in the bottom half.
Oh boy the Flop overpriced too fragile too lacking
I mean...it's lacking but it's basically non pro iphone. And it's not as fragile as people make it out to be.
People, be aware that the device is very fragile. One small fall and the main display is dead. No guarantee, no screen replacement possible. More than 1.000€ lost after only 2 months.
Device was protected in a Samsung genuine case.
I read that sales are not as anticipated although Samsung's expectations were always OTT. I suspect people are losing interest in paying so much for something that should be closer to $700. I did try it and my take was that opening and closing gets less fun and more a chore with daily use. The front display is too small for more than just widgets and I see why Samsung just did that now.
We shall see how well it stands up with use, but I am confident it will be okay for most now Samsung switched from the old hinge design of the previous model which was flawed. It now uses a design all other flips moved to a while back. Even though Samsung was one of the first with flips and folds, they seem to be playing catchup and it is worrying that they are holding back rather than giving the best to their fans. I would not recommend it as at this price there are so many better more complete phones than the Flip5 and that is before I go into the many negatives including no zoom camera, terrible thermals, subpar battery life, only 1080p display, and rather uninspiring design. Easy pass.
Opening and closing became a chore? you must be young and never had to use flip phones of old lol. For us who lived the days of old flip phones, the flipping was the best part. Especially with this one. Actually with all the Flip series, I open and close it with one hand like the flip phones of old and I love it.
As far as the hinge. Well yeh, they were trying to keep the cost down with the hinge. Now since they have a patent on the flexible glass that all the other brands use now, they are getting extra money and more than likely orders from these companies for the inside screens. Look at motorola. Their old phones were literally a plastic display, now with the razr+ it's actual glass. Wonder where they got that from... It's not uncommon for brands to give each other parts and ideas, everyone does it. Hell even Apple gets parts from Samsung and Sony and vice versa.
To your last bit: Thermals isn't an issue, it doesn't get hot, if yours does then you're doing way too much which the Flip was designed previously to now to be a light user's device. Same goes for battery, Mine end the day before bed at 20%. The no zoom, you have a point. That is a negative, but it's understandable why they are a bit restricted in space. Far as the design goes....dude the only other flippable phone that's like it is the razr+ and sure the razr has a bigger screen, but still...they're the only two using that design...even the other brands with flips still have small displays, even Oppo, sure their display can do a lot, but it's still a small display.
crappy camera... and not a very bright screen....and still heavy... things to work on samsung.
Actually it's not that heavy. It feel pretty light and comfortable to hold. Screen is pretty bight and easily seen outside in the sun. Camera is.... well it's basically like a non pro iphone tbh. Not bad but not the best. But tbh, the flip phones, and not just from samsung, were not designed for heavy users. The idea when the original Flip came out was to separate people from being on their phone constantly. It's why they made the Fold as well as the Flip. basically you wanna heavy use and be on it constantly on a foldable, get a Fold. You wanna enjoy life and not have your nose stuck in a phone screen all the time, get a Flip.
@@hobbitpsi I had it, I have razr+ Had the s23 ultra, and I had the iPone 14 pro... I try out phones then sell them. It is heavy for it's size. folded in front pocket it feels heavy. and screen in sunlight sux. waiting for the pix 8 with 2000+ nitts.
@@rez157 what do you compare "heavy" with because I've used all the ones you didbut also include the Pixel 7 pro, and Z Fold 4, and no it is not heavy at all compared to those other phones, especially the Pixel 7 Pro.
@@hobbitpsi yes, two wrongs don't make a right... they all are to heavy.. these youtubers need to stop pushing heavy phones.. Aluminum and plastic is just fine,
@@rez157 Oh that's what you mean. Ok well... I mean if you want these youtubers to push cheap budget phones only and ignore the phones people actually want. But times have changed bro, people don't like plastic phones anymore, far as alluminum goes...eh they're good but also gotta remember that alluminum dents easily, and too many people are prone to dropping their phone for some reason. So...yeh folks will always want the harder and more premium metals over the cheapness of plastic and alluminum, why do you think the new iphone went titanium? Besides, these phones are only 250-whatever grams. it's not like they're a full pound of weight.
