I really love my Flip5! Its compact, stylish and very comfortable to use. A little trick i have come to learn about the finger print scanner. Since it scans your print when the phone is "open" the finger print will be "upside down" when the phone is closed. so when i scanned my print, it wouldnt read it when the phone was closed. I rescanned my print with the phone udpside down, so now when the phone is closed the print is right side up. Ive had zero problems unlocking the phone since i did it. Hope that made sense!!

Flip 5 is hands down the best phone I've ever had got can do everything on the front screen with Goodluck instead of paying for a smart watch and a phone just to look at the watch then reply on your phone

The fingerprint sensor on my Z Flip5 works fine for me, better than any other device I've used. I have not seen the sunglass effect you described. I used my original Z Flip for over 3 years and it was still in great condition when I upgraded to the Z Flip 5, so I feel the durability is good if you don't abuse the device. What I love about the Z Flip5 is that it fits so nicely in my pocket, and the admiration of others who see my phone. And the outer screen is very useful and convenient.

Thanks for your honest opinion and got in mind that we not switch our phone every year. Many youtubers forget this

When I bought my Flip 5, they had the S23 Ultra in store as well and I just had in my hands for a short moment. But this short moment was enough to know: no, that is not something I want to carry around all day long. See, I don't give a sh*t about smartphone cams, they are all less than mediocre even compared to a decent compact camera, so that doesn't matter for me anyway. And the cam in the Flip is completely fine. What else? They are both super fast and have the newest tech. So I don't understand why you call the S23 ultra "the better phone". But the S23 is a brick. While the Flip I can use one-handed and that alone is a killer feature for me. I'm not on Instagram or any other Social media, I'm not constantly playing around with my phone. I need it for simple tasks such as changing music tracks or playlist, looking up a timetable, or starting a public transportation ride. And for that the cover screen of the Flip is perfectly fine. Even when I'm at home I often use the Flip in its folded state, simply because I can do things a lot faster using just my thumb. For the rare moments I really do need a bigger screen: no problem, just unfold it. And the inner screen is breathtaking.

Great video. You make a great point at the end regarding the S23 Ultra. However, I like the flip for the ease of carrying a small device in my pocket. To me, that's a key component, so I will stick with the flip. Again, love the video and your content. Thanks!

How do you like it?

Love my flip 5. primary reason for getting this is the compactness and the cover screen. the fingerprint sensor is working fine with my phone. the crease on the screen is evident when there's bright light. otherwise, it is not noticeable for me when using it for viewing, writing and even watching videos. I guess my eyes got used to it. in terms of durability, I think it depends on how you use or take care of your phone.

I traded my S22U for the Filp5. I also sold my S23U and kept my favorite phone this year, the P7P as my daily. I originally intended to use the Flip5 as my backup but I enjoy it so much it's become my daily and the P7P as my backup. I've owned the Flip3 before and sold that one after a week of use. I'm on week 3 and this Flip5 just feels different. Of course it'd most definitely go back to being a backup once I trade my P7P for the upcoming P8P.

This is actually very informative 🤔 I've been trying to figure out whether I actually want to switch from my s21+ to something else cause it's been years, and I was tempted by flip5. I might be able to love the flexibility, size, and outer display, but I don't think I'd like the whole inside screen experience, especially since I play lots of games LoL I don't need the outer display for my games 😂 The outer display will be nice if I have to use the timer in personal tests, but I don't think it helps a lot in a big class where I have to show the timer (yes, I'm a teacher😂). Anyway, thanks for the review! That's definitely food for thoughts 🤔

Good review 👍

I honestly love my z flip 5, the form factor is pretty sweet easy to slide in my pocket and to hold in my hands, the butter display is also awesome when it comes to taking great selfies, being able to just change my music from the outter display is pretty great, everything about the phone is awesome but yeah the in display fingerprint scanner is way more better than the side button scanner.

honest Review great video

*waves* I'm one of the three spec people, lol. I also want to know usage and durability before I make a choice, but knowing what to expect from the hardware itself is an important part of tech purchases. I'm also oldschool and prefer horizontal, but more than anything in the world I want a tiny phone back and plan to use the outer screen for 90% of my use. I'm only entertaining the flip because I desire compact portability over all else. If the rest is "good enough" for a modern phone, I'm sold.

At this point you are trying to disapprove of this phone rather than how good it is. You are worried about what it compares to the ultra 23 (camera) or iPhone 14 (camera) rather than what it is designed for. This is a great phone. Screen is amazing, use, flexibility is nice and easy. Think about the audience that it is for.

@@DayoAworunse I enjoyed your review, and your honest opinion, but it is important to distinguish that an opinion is just that, an.opinion, the personal experience can for sure be utilized as informative, but it’s not objective. I disagree with your assessment on the durability and long term use of the flip 5. This phone has endured EXCESSIVE wear and tear testing. The phone was folded 400,000 times, also submerged in water while being folded 1000s of times, it was covered in cake batter, covered in dust and rocks and after all of that, and going over being folded over 400,000 times, it finally died. There are also videos by jerryrig, who burned the phone with a lighter, cut it with the razor (You’ve seen his video, bc you referenced him here) and it survived. Let’s not also forget the fact that when this phone was being tested, it was being folded EXCESSIVELY every second, creating heat which would exacerbate whatever dmg to the hinge, as opposed to opening it here and there for normal civilian use, and this phone still survived. I don’t even think ( I could be wrong ) that any candy bar phone like the I phone could’ve survived being dunked in water, being man handled every second and covered and marinated in dust particles and cake batter without sustaining some sort of malfunction after the fact. This flip 5 has major durability and sustainability that could logically pass 5 years if taken care of.

The flip 5 makes me want a flip 2.5... just a small screen that I can use maybe 5-6 android apps and then if I want to do more plug it into a larger display that is more ipad mini sized or fold sized. The flip is great for just running around and not needlessly being on my phone all day. It's there if I need it but I am less likely to get detracted when checking something using the outside display.

Since the sensor and volume are alternating whenever you are using the phone either close or open...The trick to consistent fingerprint(s) unlock is....When registering...try to registered by ALTERNATING your fingers the normal way AND then flip your finger upside down for the same finger...etc. Try it...mine is unlocking FAST & CONSISTENT !

The hinge issue again seems like a broken unit, not a issue here either. Just my experince of course, great review btw.

It's obviously not going to be as good a powerhouse as the 23 ultra, but the trade off is the size. For me, it's worth it. I'm not a videographer nor do I game with my phone, and I don't think most people do. But ultimately it's what you want from a phone, portability or power.

Ive come to the realization as much as I love the note, and even thought I use all of the features the size, and weight are not beneficial to me. so this smaller form factor is much more enjoyable. Plus closing the lid has a psychological effect on that causes me to use my phone less.

I personally ordered the moto razr because of the noticeable crease on flip 5

Ótimo vídeo!

The best answer to the fingerprint is to get it to print your fingerprints upside down as well as the correct way,that means when your phone is closed you can still operate the outside screen

Already did and I really like it.
