Galaxy Z Flip5

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was undecided about this phone or the Samsung S23 so was excited to get the chance to try the Galaxy Z Flip5 for myself and got to say I love it. Ticks all the boxes as a phone, Amoled screen is vivid and clear, decent processing speed and the battery lasts all day. The camera takes great photos even in low light levels and the fold design is great for video calls. The thing that has me sold though, is the cover screen. You can make calls, sends texts, watch YouTube and see notifications without opening the phone up. Can't lie, you are aware of the fold across the screen especially when scrolling but you soon get used to it and its not detrimental in any way. Overall very pleased with this phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded to the Flip 5 and it has been a joy to use. The phone feels better in the hand and has a better finish to the previous model. The new expanded front screen is fantastic, and now has purpose rather than before it felt quite redundant to use. The minimal 256gb memory is a very welcome edition. the camera is great to use and i really enjoyed the Rapid burst mode. I feel Samsung have gone for a marginal gains approach on upgrades to this phone, and this has worked wonders this time around. overall this phone is great to use and i would highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I opted for the phone in Graphite, as I prefer darker colours, and this did not disappoint. I love the colouring, it’s a dark grey as opposed to black, with metallic sides. The crease is not noticeable for me when I use the phone, you are always going to see it, but I don’t mind. It has a long battery life, and lasted me all day, when I used it regularly throughout, including taking lots of pictures and videos. I love the feature on the outer screen, the fact that I can have a quick look without having to open it up is great. I loved using the phone half open as a camera, this made it easier for me to film videos. I also really like that you can take a photo with the phone closed. I really love being able to pop this fold up phone in my pocket or a small handbag, it saves me so much space. My previous phone was too large for me keep in my pocket and weighed down my handbag. It comes with a charging wire, but no plug-in charger, so I purchased one myself. I also like that it can charge up with a pebble charger as it’s nice and compact in size. I’m not used to using an Android phone, but so far I’m loving the Galaxy ZFlip5, I think its great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is a fantastic phone that has the potential to change the way you interact with your phone in a positive way. Positives - It is really compact, has extremely good build quality, a very clear outer screen a bright and beautiful main screen. The most important positive is it changes how you interact with your phone. To check messages and notifications etc you just use the small outer screen. This is a quick transaction and you are generally not tempted to spend hours needlessly scrolling through social media. You now generally only do this on the main screen when you choose to. This is the biggest change the phone brings. Onto the negatives which don’t stop me recommending the phone but to be aware of. The screen crease - it is noticeable. The cameras - they are ok. The camera experience is great with he flip screen but the quality is acceptable- not best in class. Also no zoom lens The battery life - if you use this heavily it will not last a day. However if you use the small screen mostly for generally phone pickup checks you will be happy. Not as good as other flagships So - I definitely recommend the phone but with some care points above

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a huge samsung fan its difficult to find faults as I tend to see mostly the great things. The new screen is rather a cool update to phone as we can open apps as do more without opening it. The phone has more storage and slight improvements in general. It's a bit difficult comparing with the flip 4 as it was already a great phone. I didn't notice a lot of improvement regarding battery life as I still couldn't get through a whole day without charging the flip 5. The camera is really cool and the fact that the exterior screen can be used is really helpful. I totally enjoyed it and would recommend it (I have been showing it to all my friends). I'm absolutely delighted with the samsung Flip4. I find it just perfect sizewise. I like big phones and the Flip is just great and has the amazing advantage of folding to fit anywhere. It has exceeded my expectations regarding screen and capacity, I'm really pleased with it. The only downfall for me was the battery, I expected it to last longer. The phone is so cool that I just can't put it down, but battery needs recharging more often that I would like. Other than that it's perfect. Definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung galaxy flip 5 wow, just wow this small but might pocket friendly phone has just about everything you could possibly want. When the flip is closed it fits snugly into your trousers pocket completely unnoticeable. The front screen gives good usability not perfect but enough to reply to messages, showing all notifications playing YouTube, Disney plus along with many others and has an amazing selection of customisation the only down side is that the keyboard isn't very big however I personally haven't had any issue using it.. Once opened you get everything you'd expect from the Samsung brand large screen. This phones fast and very efficient. One noticeable irritation is the crease in the middle of the screen but with use that becomes normal. The camera on both front and back give great picture quality again as you'd expect from such a great brand. The battery does seem to take a while to charge however once fully charged the phone lasts a lot longer than expected with a small built in battery. Over all from first impressions to last, this phone looks very sleek and stylish with amazing usability and features both closed and open I absolutely love the Samsung galaxy flip 5.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a long time lover of Samsung phones but was honestly on the fence about flip phones and felt they were probably just a bit gimmicky and not worth the hype. Pleased to say I was definitely wrong about that and have been really loving my new Z Flip5. It's a compact design, fitting into the smallest of handbags and pockets, but when flipped out has a screen larger than my old Samsung Galaxy S10. I'm really impressed with the colours and quality of the display. I'm also big into taking lots of photos and the cameras are impressive- I particularly like how well the main camera works in low light. It's taken a while to get the settings working how I'd like but I'm now really happy with being able to use the front screen, especially for WhatsApp messages on the go. If I had to give any downsides, I do use the battery up relatively quickly (although admittedly have been using it a lot these first few days!) and also the screens seem to keep my fingerprints on very easily so I am cleaning them off regularly. Overall, I'm very pleased with it and so many people have commented on it when I'm using it out and about! I'm glad I waited until now to get one as I think the Flip5 has everything I could want. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Up till now I have been solidly against Samsung phones, I've always found them so confusing and difficult to set up in the way I would like, etc. However after 10 days of using this phone I am seriously reconsidering my opinion, I am really liking the galaxy z4 flip, I love the little screen on the front and how customisable it is. I've heard in the past that the screens in smart flip phones cannot hold up to the usage however the fold is hardly noticeable and and it doesn't affect the sensitivity of the screen. The camera appears to be good Switching phones was nice and easy using the app. I love the flip 5 even more than the 4. The battery life is long lasting. The camera is even more of an upgrade than the 4, the photo quality is great. The bigger screen on the front of the flip is much better, so much more customisable and shows more information. The foldable screen is by far an improvement to the original flip smart phones. That being said I am nervous to fold it too often knowing the durability of flip smart screens Can never go wrong with the increase in storage with the flip 5. The build quality is sturdy. Overall I would 100% recommend both of the flip 4 and flip 5 but if you have the choice definitely go for the 5, it's truly a fantastic phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used this phone for about a week at this point so I feel I’ve got a good understanding of what it offers. All in all it’s a great little phone, your buying this phone for the flip capability, it hasn’t got the top end specs or the top end cameras like say the S23 Ultra but as I said you buy this phone for the flip function. It feels great in the hands and when you open and close the phone it’s just satisfying, personally I’d prefer a folding phone to show no crease on the screen but maybe this technology is still in its early stages. I love how small and compact it gets when folded shut and I live the small screen in the cover that you can interact with and have the time clock what ever you want it to be. Overall Samsung has done a very good job with this Flip4 and I can’t wait to see what they have in store for the Flip5. Update - I’ve now got my new Galaxy Flip5 and what an upgrade it is, the new cover screen makes this phone even more usable and charming. I love the amount of customisation you can do with it and I love the new colours they bought out, I went with the blue back and it just looks so good. The screen brightness on the inside has also improved so it’s better for outside viewing, from being a good phone, this is now an excellent phone and well worth the upgrade, just for the cover screen alone. Well done Samsung

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a loyal user of a competitor's brand for 15 years, I'm over the moon with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4! Its sleek flip design and lock display with custom notifications are fabulous. Performance-wise, it's lightning-fast, and the camera captures stunning shots. The user-friendliness and endless customisation options make it stand out. Making the switch was a revelation, and I'm in love with this innovative phone that exceeds expectations! UPDATE: I have used both the Galaxy Flip4 and 5, now for over two weeks, and I can say that they both are amazing phones. They have beautiful design, plenty of storage, and gorgeous screen. They also excel at taking and editing photos. One of my favourite features is the document scan option, which lets me convert any paper document into a word file. These phones are so stunning that my colleagues love them, and I often get compliments from strangers when I use them to pay in shops. They are curious to see how they fold and unfold. The only difference between the two models is that the Flip 5 has a seamless hinge, while the Flip 4 has a small gap when folded. This makes the Flip 5 more elegant and compact. The only thing I wish for these phones is a longer battery life, but they both charge super fast, under two hours from zero to full. This means I can always rely on them. They are truly the best phones I have ever used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a lover of Samsung phones, and I am finally upgrading from the S21 (which I loved) to the Samsung Z Flip5.  What can I say?  Well, I am lost for words, I am amazed, and I am in love simultaneously. The phone is slick, it’s beautiful and I’ve read lot’s of mention of the previous Flips having a gap and I am so glad this phone has zero gap, compact and streamlined.   Moving onto the big switch on, smart switch made this really easy and fast to get set up on the new phone. The new larger screen is wonderful, and I like that even with the phone shut I can send a message, answer calls, respond to emails, check notifications, and even check the weather if I wanted to. The quality of images is much improved with its 12MP rear cameras (yes, it has two) and it also has a 10MP front camera perfect for selfies. Take full advantage of the FlexCam allowing you to take group photos with ease.    I’ve heard its durable and versatile design can take any drops, bumps, and spills and with children I’m sure you’d all agree this is an added bonus however I’m not going to try it just yet.   The battery life for me in comparison to my previous phone is much better, so win-win! It took about 30 minutes to give an additional 50% charge which is super-fast.   If you want out of the world innovation, then I totally recommend this phone and I look forward to continuing to explore the Samsung Z Flip5.  

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Samsungs anyway, and this device is no different. Really easy to use, as you would expect, but with a classy compact design. So easy to put in your pocket or coat and not worry about it. What's less in size, does not mean less in gadgets, this device has it all, great camera, sound and charging capabilities. Camera very easy to use and has several tools that can make taking pics easier. The flip of the phone makes it so much easier to travel about with and brings back memories of phones I had years ago but with exceptional quality. All together a great product. Flip 5 I got this phone as a replacement for the Flip 4. On first glance, I was not too sure of the colour or if I would get used to this lay out of phone, but I needn’t have been worried. The phone is very lightweight, and looks stunning. Very easy to operate. I really liked that when I first switched the phone on, it gave you an option of a QR code, making it so much easier to transfer data from your old phone to the new, it also has an upgrade so you can use an Esim If you like. The camera takes stunning pictures, and I really like the much larger second screen, it means you don’t have to open it every single time to see what your message is all about. Very quick to charge. Overall I think Samsung have blown away the competition with this new model, amazing device that I am sure I will love for years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before switching to the Samsung Flip 5, I had been using the Flip 3, so will be mostly making comparisons to that phone. Form factor - The Flip3 attracted me due to its new pocket size form factor, and the Flip5 continues the evolution with an improved hinge and flat fold. This makes the phone even more neat looking. I'm hoping the Flip 5 improves on the durability of the screen hinge -the indications are that it has been greatly improved. The phone is really slick so I recommend a case with the ringlet at the back to keep a good grip- this serves me well when on a run with the phone tracking my pace. Functions - the split screen function (flex mode) comes in useful when needing to copy & paste items from one app to another, or watching a video whilst responding to a message. My favourite improvement on the Flip 5 is the outer screen - taking family selfies with the highest quality camera and being able to preview who's in shot is much easier. The outer screen also can run most apps in a smaller size, then flip open to resume in full screen mode,. Setup - The Samsung smart switch works like a dream now- within an hour I had transferred all my data from Flip3 to Flip5 wirelessly and was ready to go. Summary - As this is my 2nd Flip I'm already convinced by the Flip's form factor, but I think the Flip 5 will be a great introduction to Flip phones for anyone starting out. Highly recommended - Join the Flip side!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Z Flip 5 represents a truly impressive evolution from its predecessor, the Flip 4. The standout feature, undoubtedly, is the expanded front display that allows me to enjoy Netflix content, even on its small yet surprisingly viewable screen. Although I appreciate the larger display, I'm not entirely enthusiastic about answering calls on loudspeaker when the phone is closed. This functionality can be convenient but also occasionally awkward depending on the context. The device's compact design is both stylish and functional. The fast charging capability is praiseworthy, although I've observed a need for double charging on busier days. In comparison to the Flip 4, the Flip 5's crease when open is significantly less noticeable. While it might be discernible under specific lighting conditions, it doesn't hinder the movie-watching experience. The enlarged front display designed for selfies is a definite hit with my family. The phone's comfortable grip and usability, combined with the flip feature that transforms it into a mini laptop for certain apps, enhance its versatility. The hinge's ability to let the phone fold completely flat addresses a major flaw of the previous model, bringing a sense of refinement and functionality. All things considered, my satisfaction with the Flip 5 is resounding. Its enhancements and fixes make it a device that's not only enjoyable but also a substantial upgrade, leaving me extremely content overall.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unboxing the Flip5, it's clear Samsung have done a great job in further evolving their novel flip phone concept and the Flip5 feels just as premium and sturdy as the 4, if not more so. This time around Samsung probided an impressive range of colours again opting for a blend of matte glass and metal that matches it's predecessor and blows the competition out the water. I really like that on the 5, the phone's nee hinge mechanism allows it to fold completely shut without a 'gap', which makes it feel much safer to carry around in a pocket. Elsewhere Samsung have increased the minimum storage from 128gb to a longer lasting 256gb for the base model. This has been coupled with a cutting edge Snapdragon processor that together ensure the device covers any and all media needs despite its compact size. The new front display is a big step up, making it much easier to engage with apps such as messages, clock, camera and calendar to name just a few of the many many that are compatible. This outside display is sufficient for about a third of instances when you would otherwise need to unflip the device, such as pausing/playing music, selecting new songs and taking selfies. While it does take away from some of the previously mentioned benefits to device durability, it's a worthwhile trade off for such a helpful addition. With the improvements to battery longevity, something i was sorely needing on the Flip 4, i can say I'm very pleased to have upgraded even if this is 'evolution' not 'revolution'.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is a remarkable foldable smartphone that combines style and innovation. Its sleek design and compact form factor make it truly pocketable, while the folding mechanism is sturdy and reliable. The vibrant AMOLED display is stunning, providing excellent clarity and vivid colors. The camera system captures impressive photos and videos, offering versatility for various shooting scenarios. With a powerful processor and ample storage, it delivers seamless performance and multitasking capabilities. The battery life is decent, ensuring a full day of usage. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is a fantastic device that brings foldable technology to the mainstream with style and functionality. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has a few upgrades over the Galaxy Z Flip 4. The new Flip isn't a lot more powerful, but it does come with a few interesting upgrades. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 benefits from having the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset which is faster than the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset found in the Galaxy Z Flip 4. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 trades the Cover Screen in for the new Flex Window which has much more functionality than the outer display of the Flip 4. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has an improved hinge over the Flip 4 which lets the device close completely shut, without leaving a gap where dust can settle in. The base model of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes with double the storage (256GB) compared to Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 (128GB).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using my flip 4 for a week and have really enjoyed it, the small form factor is a big advantage for me because I don’t normally use bags and everything I carry needs to fit in my pockets. I love how it transforms from a small phone into a traditional large screen making it easy to use. I found the hinge mechanism great for making video calls, taking photos and watching content as I don’t have to hold it in my hand or use a stand. I love the matte finish as it doesn’t show fingerprints making my OCD relax lol, the build quality is great and the crease in the screen doesn’t show when using the inner display. I do wish the outer screen was bigger so I don’t have to open the flip to see more information, at least I can do the basics I guess. Battery life is excellent making sure it lasts all day and I just charge overnight, cameras and much better than I expected so give me excellent results although it could do with a slight improvement at night. I am very impressed with the flip 4 and could definitely use this phone everyday plus it has that wow factor when out in the evening with people asking me what is it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a phone with a difference. Now I have traded my Z flip4 in for the Z flip5 it’s a massive improvement , the outer screen is much bigger and more usable compared with the flip4. The glass back is glossy now not matte and it folds completely closed instead of a wedge because of the new hinge . The cameras have improved too and the new chipset makes it a faster phone to use. Definitely buy the Z flip5 if you are over a foldable phone that still folds small.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Lavender finish Galaxy ZFlip5 as it looked such a great colour online, upon opening the box I was blown away by the look of the phone, the colour was just as I'd hoped and the Rose gold accents on the frame along with the glass back gives it a very premium feel. Inside the packaging is very minimal, just the phone, a USB-C cable, SIM ejector tool and some documentation. A Charger would have been nice with such an expensive handset as this but i suppose this is done for ecological reasons as much as cost. Thankfully the phone came with 70% charge so it had plenty of charge for me to start playing :-). Using the excellent Samsung smartswitch application I easily copied all the data over from my old Android phone (nice that you can use this software with any phone, even Non Android). Once I started using the phone I knew I wouldn't be going back to my old handset, I love the size, the look the ease of use. Its fast and the screens are so vivid. Talking of screens one of its best features is the cover screen, you can do so much on the cover screen with both apps and widgets that half the time you don't even need to open the phone, this is really useful as the phone is such a talking point that whenever people see it they want to look at it and touch it, its definitely a phone for people who like to get attention. I haven't used the cameras too much yet as it's early days but the shots I have taken so far are really good, crisp, bright and sharp. The battery has been lasting me a couple of days but using wireless and fast charging ensures this isn't really an issue. Some people have commented on the fold in the screen but honestly after a few days using the phone you don't even notice its there. No going back to boring slab phones that all look a like for me, my ZFlip5 is staying with me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon entering the realm of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 as a first-time explorer, I was immediately swept into a modern marvel that seamlessly fused innovation with elegance. The moment I clasped the device, its foldable design felt like holding a secret of the future. The compact form, akin to a hidden treasure, slipped effortlessly into my pocket, bestowing upon me a newfound convenience. The AMOLED display, radiant and immersive, unveiled a world of vibrant colour and crisp details. Engaging with apps and content felt like stepping into a canvas where technology and art intertwined. The camera, a faithful companion in my journeys, captured the essence of moments in breathtaking clarity. However i do see its struggling a bit in Low Light when compared to the likes of S23 Ultra (But on a hindsight , it should never be compared to that model). Flex mode, a true spectacle of ingenuity, breathed new life into my interactions. Folding the phone halfway, it became a stage for creativity, perfect for selfies and video chats, adapting to my desires like an attentive assistant. Battery life proved itself a steadfast companion, never forsaking me during my busy days. Fast charging replenished its energy swiftly, ensuring I remained connected and productive without pause. Navigating the interface was a seamless experience, with Samsung's intuitive One UI adapting flawlessly as I folded and unfolded my technological companion. In conclusion, my voyage as a first-time user of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has been a journey of awe and delight. This device, a harmonious duet of form and function, has etched itself into my daily life. It's more than a mere smartphone; it's a testament to human ingenuity, a bridge between the present and the promise of tomorrow.If you're ready to embrace the future of smartphones, I wholeheartedly recommend giving the Z Flip 5 a try. It's an experience like no other.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smartphones have become a little samey in recent times with small incremental improvements year on year. Same old formula. Samsung has brought back a 2000s design and made a great phone that is also a lot of fun to use. Design wise it's a fantastic and pocketable size that's lite, robust and does everything a modern day smartphone does. Super smooth, bright vibrant screen. Check. Performance and battery to get through a good day's usage. Check. Great cameras.... hmm maybe not. Don't get be wrong, the cameras are adequate and take some decent pics. But, in what feels like a cool piece of Tech, OK cameras are a little disappointing. Using the phone is a lot of fun. That satisfying flip and click and opening the phone just feels great. The software is getting better with every flip generation with more useful duel screen features. The outside mini screen is becoming more useful for notifications and other features. Folding the phone to take some great selfies when on holidays has been really handy and do help compensate for the ho hum cameras themselves. I haven't had this much fun with a phone in a long time. Samsung have mostly knocked it out of the park with the Flip 4 and I for one can't wait to see what they have lined up for us next UPDATE: Flip 5 Review OK so take all of the above and knock it up a couple of notches and you have a fantastic upgrade with the Flip 5. Highlights Front screen - Bigger is really better. Fantastic upgrade with some handy widgets to keep on top of my day without opening the phone. Great improvement but I would still like to see more widget options! Performance: Speedier and better with battery life. This phone flies! Super quick and although still early days, the battery life seems to be better Build: Really noticing a much higher build quality. Everything feels more premium, the fold is flat and better squared away with an improved hinge. And that crease is less pronounced than before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My old Samsung Note 10+ was about 5 years old and showing its age so it was time for an upgrade. I thought I'd give the flip phones a go as they're not 'first gen' so hopefully any bugs would have mostly been ironed out. I decided to go for the Flip4, the fold I think is a bot too big for me, The folding screen is pretty cool. I was worried the dip in the middle would distract from watching videos but its mot too bad. You can't really tell the crease is there most of the time, it is a little noticeable in brighter scenes. You definitely notice it's there whilst doom scrolling through insta or facebook but it doesn't get in the way. You do need two hands to open it though which is a pain. I like the front screen, I wish we got more from it though. You can only use certain widgets from a list. I would have preferred to have been able to access my entire app list from the front screen, it saves having to open and close the phone too many times. A bigger screen with full phone access would have been nice. The 'flippability' comes in handy when taking photos, you can bend it slightly, put it on its side and take photos. The front screen is small but its good quality, taking selfies is soooo much easier with the main cameras. Photos are nice with good vibrant colours, night photos are good as well, I would say slightly better than my Note 10 and my Note 10 did nice night time photos. All in all a pretty good phone. *UPDATE* Just upgraded to the Flip5. I would say the Flip5 has some good improvements over the Flip4. The normal screen seems very similar but... The front cover screen is huge. You can see messages better and look through the widgets with ease. You can add apps to the front screen to but it's a bit of a faff to get it on there. It would be nice all if the apps were automatically usable. The front screen has come in handy for selfies and especially handy for group shots. Just fold the phone to 90 degrees and turn the front screen on in the camera.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really love this Flip 4 phone! Things I enjoy most: *the flip is easy to control, not too snappy *the small screen on the front is brilliant, you can do so much without even opening the phone, such as check weather, skip a song, read messages *it looks really cool and gets a lot of attention! *when on video calls I can bend the phone at a 90 degree angle instead of trying to prop the phone up, all for it to fall halfway through your call *the processing system is very fast and smooth *the camera is very good and easy to use. Things that aren't so great: *the battery life - I have to charge it at least once a day for medium use. This is where I took a star away. I would really hope for better battery life on future designs. *it's not very retro - I was hoping for a 90s throwback with the flip design, but it's a lot more modern (not a terrible thing but if you were looking for that...) *the box only comes with a USB C-C cable, and no compatible plug! again no biggie as I have other compatible cables, but will have to buy a suitable plug. Now my opinion on the Flip 5! All of the above positives, PLUS! *battery life is improved! *can reply to messages/whatsapp etc from the front screen and answer calls! *better selfies from the front screen! My only negative is the design, comparing to the Flip 4, it feels much more grown-up and serious! I was hoping Samsung would keep that 'fun' element going. The colour I picked was yellow, but when I have the case on you can't tell as it's only one coloured square which gets completely covered. Unless you get a see-through case, but they don't feel as sturdy. The 4 carried the colour all the way around, across the hinge etc, but this one is just black. Very boring! Why is it not yellow! Plus, the fold in the centre of the big screen seems to be the same as the 4, ie not improved - I'm not sure how they would do that, but it's the same. I am used to it now but that is what people ask when they see it! All being said, this is an excellent phone and I absolutely love it. Upgraded to 5 stars!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the ​Z Flip 5 for a few days now, I can confidently say that I am absolutely in love with my new phone! One particular feature that i absolutly love is the full cover screen with widgets. It's such a convenient way for me to access and display useful information at a glance such as weather updates, calendar events, and health data. This feature has significantly enhanced my productivity and made it incredibly easy for me to stay organized and informed throughout the day. Speaking of customization i love how much I'm able to personalize every aspect of the phone to suit my preferences, from the theme and layout to the fonts and icons. It truly feels like the Z flip5 is tailored just for me. One nostalgic feature that I absolutely adore is the answering phone calls by flipping the device open. It brings back the classic charm of traditional flip phones but with a modern twist. The simple act of flipping up and down to answer calls adds a delightful touch of nostalgia to my daily routine. The flex mode offers limitless ​multitasking possibilities that I find particularly impressive. It allows me to effortlessly perform tasks like taking ​notes while simultaneously watching a ​video, or browsing the internet while being engaged in a Zoom call. The flexibility and convenience provided by this feature are truly remarkable. In terms of portability the Z flip5 is incredibly compact. It easily fits into my pocket or bag, allowing me to take it wherever I go. While the Z flip5 offers exceptional features, it's important to mention a minor drawback. In dark mode, there is a slight visibility of the fold line on the screen. However, I've noticed that this is less noticeable in light mode. Nevertheless, this minor issue does not significantly impact my overall satisfaction with the device. I 100% recommend giving this phone a try, It combines cutting-edge technology with nostalgic charm, it offers a truly unique and enjoyable user experience. The full cover screen with widgets, impressive multitasking capabilities, extensive customizations, and compact design make it a standout device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've really enjoyed my time with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. Aesthetically it stands head and shoulders above anything else. The front screen apps all accessed with ease via its touch-screen execution. Flipping the phone open presents a tall and slim phone with a sharp screen. The hinge is minimally visible. The fingerprint unlocking is exceptionably responsive. Being a flip phone brings a number of fun features, like the ability to situate your phone semi-open, resting on a desk - this comes nicely into play if on a video call, where you can place your phone on a table, using the phone as its own stand. I've found one standout application of the semi-folded state of the phone is in recording videos. The camera performs very well indoors, offering a range of post editing option. The phone packs a heap of features which may seem overwhelming at first, but Samsung provide heaps of hints and tips all built in to the phone. This really is a delightful phone to use, in most areas. Overall, a highly enjoyable phone, both fun and very convenient. **UPDATE - UPGRADE TO FLIP 5** Having made the upgrade to the Flip 5, I was instantly impressed with the array of colour offerings. I sent back my rose gold / pink Flip 4 and changed for a beautiful green Flip 5. The new cover screens increase in size is incredibly beautiful to look at. With some tinkering it has a whole heap of functionality, including the full use of some apps. One noticeable difference away from the cover screen on the Flip 5 is that when shut the two sides of the phone sit flush whereas the Flip 4 sat with a noticeable gap. This helps to stop any pocket lint or dust from getting between the screens when folded. Software-wise, I was a huge fan of the photography software onboard the Flip 4, with it taking some of the very best portrait shots I've ever seen on a mobile phone, in fact far more impressive than some other manufacturer flagship phones. This is true of the Flip 5 too - which although not seeing any upgrades in the camera hardware has seen a slight overhaul in the software department. I took the Flip 5 on a family holiday along with a flagship and used the Flip 5 far more and got far better end results with it. I now have to say that whilst the Flip 5 doesnt pack the best hardware stats on the market, the internals and how it performs has pushed the phone to becoming my first choice mobile phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The screen is remarkable. Its such a strange thing to experience the flip phone. I was initially sceptical about this phone due to hearing negative issues from friends regarding the centre fold of the phone. I had heard that it would crack instantly, it wouldn't work at the fold and wouldn't respond to my touch and that the screen would go white over time. Now with testing, I know that at least 2 out of 3 are false. The fold does respond to touch, and it hasn't cracked. I can't test the whiteness yet. I really enjoy the bigger screen and the picture quality is great to watch shows. The fold doesn't compromise the image and it essentially disappeared. The camera is better quality than my older phone. They have managed to reduce glare through light sources as default and this can be further reduced by playing with the settings. There is a slight delay when the light is low which could affect the final outcome to the image. The final images are incredible however. One feature I've enjoyed is the ability to zoom in on videos! I couldn't do that before. It does lower the quality of the image but since you can only do it while viewing the video, it isn't that big of a deal. I quite like the range of designs available. Not only is there more colours to pick from as standard, but you can also choose from a 3 colour pallete. They have set colour palletes to choose from, I believe there was around 5 to pick from or you can choose your own colours for a more personalised look. I enjoy being able to choose more colours as I enjoy a certain aesthetic which isn't mainstream. When the phone is closed, the screen near the cameras responds to touch. You are able to access notifications and customise your widgets go your preference which is so helpful! I was able to access the weather, my music app, alarms, start recording my videos although you need to open the phone once started and the calender. I was then able to add steps and my schedule. It was very handy to have these available without having to open the phone. The size of the phone when folded fits perfectly in my hand and isn't too wide. Opening the phone does feel stiff but I'm guessing that will get easier the more I use it. This is my update as I upgraded to the Flip5 phone. As first impressions go, it's not much different from the Flip 4. The main difference is the screen on the front, and honestly it does change things, especially if you're recording.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Edited; having used the Flip 4 and 5.: Both the Z Flip4 and 5 are great bits of kit. The Flip4 I chose was rose gold, and it was a shame they didn't offer it on the 5. The new colours offered seem more drab, except the yellow, which is not a colour I am keen on. Setup was incredibly easy, as I just used the Samsung Smart Switch app. Very obviously, their main feature is that they fold, so I can fit them in my pockets! They have the added benefit of being easier to hold for my small hands, so I'm less likely to drop it, and even if I do, there's less chance of breaking the main screen. Although, there is now more chance of breaking the cover screen on the Flip5. I bought a case for this very reason. Speaking of, the main AMOLED screen is a good size and boasts a good resolution, brightness and clarity. Bonus points for being able to set manually or use the automatic brightness and temperature. There is a crease down the middle, but to be honest, I barely noticed it after a couple of days and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the crease did not affect selection – if I pressed there, it would register normally, like when selecting a tile on a match three game. To note: the Flip 5 has no gap when folded, whereas the 4 did, so it's nice that the 5 can shut cleanly. Taking videos and photos was easy enough as using the interface was pretty straight forward, and has advanced options too. I didn't really notice much difference in the camera quality, even in low light situations. I like the fingerprint reader on the side, although sometimes when carrying the phone open, I accidental press it and lock it out for five failed attempts. The biometrics is really handy as a lot of apps will let you use it to log in instead of entering a password. The Flip 5 has one obvious advantage - the larger cover screen. This is exponentially more helpful than the it's smaller predecessor, especially with apps like the calendar. I don't have to open the phone as often for brief tasks. Another handy feature is that you can use the NFC for Google Pay etc. with the phone closed and just pressing the unlock button. The volume buttons still work when the phone is closed, and are in the same orientation – the top button is volume up, the bottom button is volume down – although they are physically mapped opposite. The battery life is just over 9 hours on the Flip4, and a little more on the 5. From dead to 100% took about 2 hours for both.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When the Samsung Z Flip 5 was announced I thought this is the time to take the plunge. After my first few days I must say I'm not disappointed by it. The zero gap hinge is great and I got for the Starter pack that includes a great clear case and fast charger, as well as the official cover screen protector, both which I highly recommend. I wasn't sure if the crease would be an issue for me, or how I would use the cover screen exactly, but I was intrigued to find out. Unfolded it is just like any other top tier slab phone, and while I do notice the dip in the middle, I've gotten used to it being there and I don't notice it when watching something full screen which is great. When folded either slightly or all the way, however, that things get quite interesting. The Flex feature for some apps turn the bottom half into a touchpad, which can do two finger scrolling, and a mouse pointer appears in the top half. This made it easier to use the phone when lying down in bed for instance. You can activate this for other apps not optimised for it if you wish too. When fully folded, a few widgets can be accessed via the cover screen, and taking selfies, checking the weather, messages and replying were very convenient in this mode with my medium sized hands and fingers. I loved the customisation you can do for the cover lock screen. Once I installed a third party app from the Samsung App store and enabled a cover screen feature, also recommended in various online reviews, I could use a lot more apps for music, contactless payments, ordering taxis, among other messaging, fitness and media apps. I definitely recommend doing that. With my medium use of the phone, the battery gets me through the whole day and then some, and the fast charger gets from 5% to 100% after 1hr 20min which was very quick. Fast charging does heat up the phone a bit and for better battery longevity I'd rather charge it up with a slower charger routinely. The battery settings interestingly had a setting to only charge to 85% for battery longevity which I need to read into more as I thought not charging to 100% would be worse for battery memory. Anyway, overall I love this phone and would fully recommend it if you can stomach the price or get a good deal on it then go for it. You'll enjoy using your phone in new ways and being able to fit it into smaller pockets is so much more convenient (despite making it a bit thicker this is definitely a great form factor!).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon unboxing the Flip 4, I was immediately impressed by its clean and premium feel. The unique foldable design sets it apart, allowing for a slimmer and taller form factor compared to my Samsung S21 5G. It easily fits into my bag or pocket without taking up much space. Setting up the phone was a seamless process, and once it was up and running, I was truly amazed by its outstanding performance. The camera captures stunningly vibrant and detailed images, although I haven't had the opportunity to capture anything truly remarkable yet. However, as someone who has always been happy with Samsung smartphones' cameras in the past, I'm confident that I will be pleased with the results once I have the chance to fully explore its capabilities. The Corning's Gorilla Glass Victus+ and Super AMOLED display deliver an exceptional viewing experience with impeccable viewing angles. With Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, LPDDR5 memory, and UFS 3.1 storage, the phone offers remarkable speed and responsiveness. While the charging speeds could be faster and the display is prone to creasing, these minor drawbacks don't overshadow my genuine satisfaction with the overall performance and features of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. I'm thoroughly pleased with this phone and can't wait to explore its full potential. - I'm really excited to try out the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. It's cool to get hands-on with these phones and see what they're all about. One thing that caught my eye is the storage upgrade in the Galaxy Z Flip 5 – it's going from 128GB to 256GB. More room for apps and files is always a plus. The new Flex Hinge in the Galaxy Z Flip 5 shows that Samsung's on the ball. They've fixed the gap issue from the Galaxy Z Flip 4, which is awesome to see. It's like they're actively improving things. I've also noticed that the Galaxy Z Flip 5's display seems brighter than the Galaxy Z Flip 4. This could make a real difference, especially when you're using the phone in different lighting. It's cool that they're thinking about the whole experience. With both phones having the same 8GB of RAM, I'm curious about their performance. How they handle apps and tasks with that shared memory is intriguing. It's reassuring that even with upgrades, the camera quality for both front and back cameras is still solid. Samsung's keeping the good stuff going. I can't wait to dive into the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. Thanks for giving me the c

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the pleasure of using the Samsung Galaxy Flip 4, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in more ways than one. From the moment I laid my eyes on the front little screen, I knew I had found something special. It's an absolute game-changer, allowing me to effortlessly check calls, manage my diary, receive notifications, and even keep tabs on the weather. One of the standout features for me was the ability to make quick calls to my favorite people directly from the front screen. With just a few taps, I could effortlessly connect with my loved ones, saving precious time and effort. It truly made staying connected a breeze. Additionally, as someone who frequently engages in business calls, I was pleasantly surprised by the phone's unique design. By leaving the phone at a 90-degree angle, the device automatically adjusted, placing the videos of other participants in the top half of the screen. This innovative feature enhanced my video call experience, making it more immersive and enjoyable. What struck me the most about the Flip 4 was its perfect balance between compactness and an expansive screen. When folded, it felt small and unobtrusive in my pocket, making it incredibly portable. However, when unfolded, the large screen provided an immersive and captivating viewing experience, perfect for watching videos, browsing the web, or engaging in multimedia content. To anyone looking for a new device, I cannot recommend the Flip 4 enough. Its front little screen adds a new level of convenience to your daily life, while the unique design and functionality truly set it apart. ...and then came the Samsung Galaxy Flip 5! The Galaxy Flip 5 has truly captured my heart with its remarkable features. The Flex Screen is a game-changer, effortlessly adapting to my needs, whether I'm multitasking or indulging in entertainment. The new 3.4-inch cover screen is a brilliant addition, providing quick access to notifications and essential information without opening the device. The camera quality is exceptional, delivering stunning shots in various settings.In comparison to the Flip 4, the larger front screen of the Flip 5 further enhances usability. Replying to messages from WhatsApp and Facebook without unfolding the device is incredibly convenient. Even enjoying YouTube videos on the compact front screen adds a new dimension to on-the-go entertainment. The Flip 5's innovation and user-centric features make it a winner to anyone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have thought a lot about getting this Galaxy Flip5 phone as am always intrigued and sceptical about the foldable phones. Once I opened the case and held it in my hands, I felt really positive about the whole phone. First of all it is a solid phone and feels quite full in the hands.The metallic case feels quite sturdy. The flipping of the phone is effortless and doesn't make any noise and looks quite clean and neat. The screen doesn't show much signs off folding and the display is clearcut. It goes into my pocket really well. It has a massive 256GB in it's base version which is more than enough for all my personal and work apps and hopefully not have to worry about storing pics in another app. The screen is very clear and the display colours are fantastic as always with other Galaxy phones. I particularly liked the display of the mini outer screen and the functionality of it. I think I will be using the outer screen mostly during my busy time as we can choose which apps to go there and get a reasonable functionality from them. I started using maps on it and it works effortlessly.The main screen looks a bit elongated when switched off but not much when things are in display. One important thing I liked from Samsung is it comes installed with a screen protector.. what a nice thought from Samsung.. hats off... The phone also seems to have one of the best processor out there and have excellent multifunctionality with not heating up. I could download a big app while simultaneously playing a high quality video on what's app with not much effort. The battery although is small compared to some of the recent china manufactured phones but it lasted a whole 36 hrs with moderate use and a full day with heavy use taking videos and making at least 4 hrs of video conferencing calls. The software seems quite intuitive with good interface and I could transfer all my data from iOS very easily at the time of setup. The apps open and close effortlessly . The camera slot doesn't take up half of the back like recent phones and looks aesthetically very neat. It has 2 circles for cameras and the best thing I felt is it's easy to take pics with the smaller screen and it looks very clear. The pics are of good quality.There is also an optical zoom which works well. To summarise,I felt very happy to get this excellent phone and am looking forward to use its functionality more.. It also comes with a good 3 year warranty So,I dont need to worry about a new phone soon..!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Updated Z flip 5 review added. please find both reviews below. Z-Flip 4: Let's get the 1st impression out of the way.. the z flip 4 is already an established foldable phone, and even though I have seen it around, it still has that stylish wow factor to it. Foldable phones have initially been appealing to a niche group, many due to their high price, but with high price, you do get a high-end product. So that niche has grown and now appeals to a very large group of people. The small, compacted look when it's folded is what I feel is its best feature. Along with the retro feel to the satisfying, easy to use one-handed open and close flip mechanism, this phone is definitely stylish and eye-catching. The phone is light, fits in most small pockets. The display is gorgeous and seems much more durable than its predecessors. The battery life is better than I thought it would be. Following a full charge, it's lasting me all day with heavy usage. The front screen and camera are also very good with clear and bright pictures. Having a front screen is a necessity, although I do wish they had made it bigger. Still amusing with its ambient screen saver. I do hope they improve on completely closing the gap when the phone is folded as I worry with the accumulation of pocket fluff and overall dust going in. Z Flip 5: Having played with both phones, I find there is a definite step forward and most importantly, feels like a proper upgrade rather than an improvement alone. The bigger, improved 3.4-inch cover screen or FLEX WINDOW on the Flip 5 now makes it possible to message and respond easily. Its great for glancing at the weather or even my daily schedule (with a full view of my calendar without needing to open the phone. And as you would expect it has Multiple widgets are available to make it your own. Its definitely more attractive and top of its class without a doubt. The small 3,700mAh battery, felt like a step backwards. With the AOD enabled, I was able to get through a full day of heavy use which is still more than what I need but would worry if my day extends to a night out. However with average use, I think it is more than sufficient. Finally the phone CLOSES FLAT!! The aluminum rails looks nice and feels sturdy. The camera is similar to its predecessor and I do feel they could use a bit of an upgrade, but that is true to all flip phones. If you’re considering jumping from a traditional slab-style phone to a flip phone, the Z Flip 5 is a great entry point.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received on Saturday on opening I was impressed by the clam shell phone. After hunting down a charging cable as the one supplied was not your usual size usb the set was easy and good with being able to connect your old phone. I was amazed by the quality of video quality and sound of movies. The Samsung pass feature for fingerprint access is nicely placed on side of phone making it easy to use. Again the sound from such a small item is the best I have ever listened to. The picture quality on the photos and the zoom is the best. I would highly recommend this phone and say Samsung have gone beyond. I am only half way through the various features and looking forward to exploring more of the phone. I have shown the phone to a few people and again the initial response was wow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was initially cautious especially due to the folding screen. It is a lovely large screen when unfolded. The screen is crisp and sharp, the additional outer screen is very handy. Even folded it is only slightly thicker than my current phone. It's a great product and I am looking forward to testing the new model After receiving the flip 5 the larger screen was an instant hit. It mans I can reply to messages etc without even opening my phone. It is very handy. The camera is brilliant and the live editing is fantastic. I love the new green colour. So pleased with the new phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a stylish and elegant phone that feels sturdy while being surprisingly light. The phones hinge mechanism is smooth and easy to handle. The exterior screen is beast, as you can stick your most-used apps on it and access them in an instant. The Flip 5 offers one upgrade over the previous Flips on that its two halves fold perfectly flat with no gap. 512gb storage ensures that you have plenty of space for all the photos and videos you will be taking. The use of the rear camera for selfies is particularly exciting. The software is snappy and fast as you can expect from a phone at this level. Overall, having a fantastic time getting to know my new phone!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not had an android phone since the Galaxy s4 Active, the flip 5 was the first phone to make me want to move back and whilst it was a pain to move away from my current device, it was seamless using Samsung's transfer app, pulled all my photos and contacts and everything i needed and was very quick. I use G-suite for work so this has been perfect, the integration is fantastic. I have kinda got over the novelty of the flip aspect of the phone now, although slamming the phone shut to end a call is still fun! reminds me of my days back in school when i had my Samsung e720. Which also has a front screen and camera. I think the best aspect is how much less space it takes up when folded, I tend to use the front screen for replying to all my messages and even scrolling socials. This may have helped contribute to the stella battery life i am seeing from this phone. I think it is a fantastic bit of kit and am looking forwards to testing more of its features.

Only had the phone a few months and once again like my 2 previous flip phones the centre fold area developed a black line and then a green stripe from the centre upwards and eventually the black line spread across the whole screen making the phone completely useless as the phone just goes haywire when touched

الشاشة سيئه جدا، لا أنصح بشراء هذا المنتج، إشتريته وأصبحت الشاشة سوداء بعد مرور ١١ شهرا، مع اني لا أفتحه واغلقه كثيرا ولم يسقط من يدي. والآن لا يوجد ضمانه للشاشة. فلا استطيع استخدام الموبايل ولا استطيع بيعه واصلاحة او استبداله.

The rubber strip has fallen out on the left hinge. It's not been dropped and always had a case. It's sat in the box I have gone to the s25 ultra. This flip 5 was a disappointment 😞 and would not recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always been fascinated by flip phones, especially the ones that can fold in half like a book. That’s why I was excited to try out the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, the latest clamshell foldable from the Korean giant. And I have to say, it did not disappoint me. It is a stunning device, with a sleek design and a gorgeous display. It feels premium in the hand, and it’s surprisingly easy to use with one hand. The hinge is smooth and sturdy, and it allows me to adjust the angle of the screen to suit my needs. Whether I want to watch a video, take a selfie, or browse the web... The camera performance is also impressive, with a dual 12MP rear setup and a 10MP front shooter. The photos are sharp, colourful, and detailed, and the video quality is smooth and stable. The Z Flip 5 is not only beautiful, but also powerful. The battery life is decent, lasting me a full day of moderate use. And it supports wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, which is convenient. I think the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is an amazing phone that offers a unique and enjoyable experience. It’s flippin’ great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having owned a Z Flip since the 3 I have to say that this model blows the previous iterations out of the water. The implementation of the full cover screen is the stand out feature on this flagship phone. It's now a very useable screen for quickly checking messages and even replying to them without a cramped keyboard. Need to quickly check your calendar, no problem. Head on over to YouTube to watch the latest upload, it's right there on the cover screen. Brilliant! The selfie camera on the cover screen is amazing too. It provides a nice wide angle for group selfies and the quality is simply amazing. Speaking of cameras the main camera performs extremely well in low lighting with the resulting images popping with colour and vibrance with little to no noise. I really like the way that if you're using an app on the cover screen and decide you need more screen real estate that simply un flipping the phone that app is on the main screen ready to use without the need to unlock the phone again. Screen (cover and main) response time is slick and scrolling apps and websites is buttery smooth. It's highly pocketable size, speed and form make this a must have phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never been really sold on the idea of the flip phones especially with the teething issues of the earlier models. However, this one has really changed my perceptions!! The fold itself is seamless and the phone is much lighter and more portable than previous models. This means that it fits in my pocket nicely and doesnt have a huge profile which was an issue with previous models. Also, I do like how much better they've made us of the fold of the phone, from the widgets to the display and makes the fold really feel like a feature in itself as opposed to a gimmick. Inside, the spec is usual samsung quality with excellent graphics and the performance is also as expected. However, I do wish that the camera was improved. Battery life is ok but nothing to write home about, however, it is enough for a typical days usage of normal apps and activities. Overally, I'm really impressed with the offering from Samsung this year, with many of the older issues and bugs ironed out. The phone has been made more streamlined and the screen size has really been maximised, with the processor and overall user journey improved. The only quibble I have is that the fold is still a little prominent, and the camera can be improved.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always been intrigued by the idea of a smart flip phone so was very excited for the phone to arrive. Within minutes of using it I fell in love with it! The outer screen is incredibly useful for quickly reading notifications, controlling my music, checking weather and calender. I like that you can personalise the screen and the order of the apps. The hinge moves very smoothly and I like that the phone closes fully and there's no gap. I was worried I'd notice the crease on the screen but after a while I stopped noticing it, it's only in certain light that you can see it. When you scroll you can sometimes feel it but overall I forget about it during every day use. When using apps the phone is very quick and when closing or changing apps the movement is very seamless, there's no lag whatsoever, everything just works very quickly which is perfect. The quality of both cameras is great and I like being able to quickly take a picture without having to open the phone. When video calling I was able to sit my phone at a 90 degree angle and be hands free when talking to someone. Overall I'm incredibly impressed by all the features of this phone and I'm yet to find a negative so far and would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of getting one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having changed from a different brand phone I was nervous about changing systems as I like to stick to what I know. I've been pleasantly surprised by the adaptability of the Samsung flip. I've managed to customise the system to rearrange the buttons to what I'm used to, and the details on both the inside and outside screens can be moved around. As someone who takes a lot of photos it's great to have such a good amount of storage as well. I really like the colour of the phone, I chose mint and it looks great. I've still got to get used to be able to use the outside camera with the phone closed, there's been a few unflattering photos! Being able to fold the phone saves me propping it up for group photos and I can watch videos without a stand. The fold is still noticeable sometimes when scrolling but this is expected and I think in more time I'll just get used to it, I thought it would effect me more than it has as I'm quite sensitive to these details. Watching videos the screen is great quality and I don't notice the fold. So far I'm happy with the flip 5, I'm still learning the new features and adapting to a new system but the battery is doing well as I'm using it constantly throughout the day and when not in use it doesn't drain like my old phone did. It's drawn a fair bit of attention at work as everyone is interested in the phone that folds!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm going to lead with the most interesting finding of my review, the bit about mental health. On daily driving the phone for even a short while, I very quickly noticed how satisfying and beneficial it was to be able to close the phone and put it down....DONE. I use social media apps for work on an hourly basis and the ability to shut it all off with one movement was surprisingly healthy, especially in todays modern world of needing to be constantly connected to everything and everyone all the time. Samsung have consistently improved the build quality, and leading tech breakthroughs for quite a while now, especially with their folding OLED screen technology, which leads me onto the part EVERYBODY has been asking about on my socials, the folding screen. It is clear, bright, and super responsive (as expected from an OLED panel) and when the panel is on and in use, the only hint of the physical fold is when you swipe up the screen and feel it, and when the screen is off and unfolded you can see the "crease" but i am guessing with prolonged use over the coming months that would practically be unnoticeable. The flex display on the front is also very handy and easy to reply to messages without fully opening your phone and also for using the amazing front facing main cameras for super high quality selfies. Another cool feature is using the flip at 90 degrees in camera mode for extra functionality like a tiny laptop haha

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the Z Flip 4, the Z Flip 5, is hardly worthy of a new version number. Three changes between the two devices. Hinge Outside screen Processor. Hinge. The hinge lets the phone finally fold flat. Something not revolutionary, but it fixes the biggest flaw the previous models had. The hinge now feels less stiff but allows the phone to unfold flat too. Processor. A generation bump in processor. Have I noticed any difference? No, you still rely on Samsung's oneUI gumph on top of android and all the extra apps that you'll likely never even open. Outside screen. The only upgrade that makes this make sense. The Phone is a bit more usable when actually folded. Whereas the flip 4 I barely even glanced at the screen and only activated it for time or when using the main camera for selfies. Unfortunately everything else is the same and I wasn't overly impressed with the cameras, OneUI or the thickness of the device last time and this upgrade did nothing with all these things at all. Overall I wanted a foldable that can last the year without other devices making this one feel out of date, thick, and usable in both modes. This fold 5 doesn't fit the bill for me especially when you think 95% of the entire device is recycled from flip 4 and flip 3 even. I still can't see too much use for the front screen other than an easier selfie experience and replies to messages. I won't be using the device folded very much but I do like flipping it open to use.

I bought this a month back as a reward for finishing the school year and man has it been a ride Such a joy using this device and despite what people told me before buying it, trying to discourage me from doing so, that the cover screen was just some gimmick that I won't be using in the future but I have been doing so consistently: to check my hair before a picture, to take actual selfies, set timers, message someone quickly, etc. I have come to love this new innovation and has actually been a great conversation starter with people seeing me use it in public, so it was a sort of launchpad for making more friends and getting to know new and interesting people.

Unfortunately I sold this phone even though I Love it. The main Issues was for me the bettery. I wished if the bettery could give more. That time I decided to let go my Galaxy S23 Ultra, and to welcome the flip 5. I hade the basic 8GB Ram, green mint color. All over the design and the mechanism 10/10, The compact design, really people need to have this device in their hands to approach it. I really like it but I decided to let go of the device and thats because of the battery. *I wish samsung if you could increase the battery, and the front screen to become more wider or the device to be come a bit more wider, then will have thw device of the year for sure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gone over to the Dark side. The Samsung 5 Flip phone unlocked 5G is my first experience with a Flip phone for me so have not got any comparisons to compare with but I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt what I have experienced so far has certainly met my expectations. 512GB Storage and comes with a 3 year Manufacturer Warranty Androids 13.0 operating system, I choose the colour Mint. Great for taking selfies without when needing to open the phone also with a samsung6 watch you can even capture zoomed in selfies, 3.4in screen in flip and 6.7in opened. The flex hinge is barely noticeable but I’m a bit self conscious of overusing as never used a flip phone before, so I’m glad you are able to add your most used widgets to the front so to make the most of the front screen, the picture quality is very good I’ve watched a couple of films to test this and was very impressed. The battery isn’t lasting as long as expected but it could be where it’s new and I’m getting to know how it works, but it charges quickly so not an issue. Definitely need to get a protective cover which was a bit disappointing on ordering you were not allowed to add the free Samsung case to order so have to incur an unnecessary cost to purchase, also heavier than I expected it to be but love the way I can just slip it into my pocket. Only comes with the phone charging lead a warranty and quick guide leaflet and a sim opener tool so would need to get a compatible Samsung plug but also charges wireless. So far I like what I’ve seen and look forward to learning my way around the flip5 I’ve been watching a lot of you tube videos as it’s the first time I’ve used am android phone at least 10years. Gone over to the Dark side. The Samsung 5 Flip phone unlocked 5G is my first experience with a Flip phone for me so have not got any comparisons to compare with but I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt what I have experienced so far has certainly met my expectations. 512GB Storage and comes with a 3 year Manufacturer Warranty Androids 13.0 operating system, I choose the colour Mint. Great for taking selfies without when needing to open the phone also with a samsung6 watch you can even capture zoomed in selfies, 3.4in screen in flip and 6.7in opened. The flex hinge is barely noticeable but I’m a bit self conscious of overusing as never used a flip phone before, so I’m glad you are able to add your most used widgets to the front so to make the most of the front screen, the picture quality is very good I’ve watched a couple of films to test this and was very impressed. The battery isn’t lasting as long as expected but it could be where it’s new and I’m getting to know how it works, but it charges quickly so not an issue. Definitely need to get a protective cover which was a bit disappointing on ordering you were not allowed to add the free Samsung case to order so have to incur an unnecessary cost to purchase, also heavier than I expected it to be but love the way I can just slip it into my pocket. Only comes with the phone charging lead a warranty and quick guide leaflet and a sim opener tool so would need to get a compatible Samsung plug but also charges wireless. So far I like what I’ve seen and look forward to learning my way around the flip5 I’ve been watching a lot of you tube videos as it’s the first time I’ve used am android phone at least 10years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately we had the phone for around 8 months before the screen gave up across the middle (exactly as our flip 4 had previously). Only to find out that because the back glass was broken it would not cover the screen any longer. The worst part is you can see the impact point on the glass where my partner dropped something on to the phone after 2 months of owning it. Now Just A paper weight. Beautiful Phone if you want something just to play with at the weekends, However can not handle every day life !!!
