I wish they thought symmetry like they did with all the other zflips outer display. Because it looks hideous. There is away around where you can crop and black out bottom portion of that inexcusable slip at the bottom of the display. Other than that its a solid device. I have both the razr plus and zflip 5 . Both are rock solid. But if you like symmetry and dont like awkward shapes go for the razr.

I was not interested in a Samsung Flip because I already had the Samsung Fold. This phone was discounted and I had a Best Buy store credit. I decided to try it out and I am happy I did. The only con is that it doesn't have DeX like the Fold has. DeX is important to me while traveling. This doesn't take away from the phone in anyway. DeX is a feature I enjoy on the fold. I will give the Flip 5 an 8/10. The 2 point drop comes from the front display. It is limited unless you download Good Lock to tweak the front display.
To a novice user this can be overwhelming. I like the ability to customize my devices. Unfortunately this is not the case with most user. Most users like simple and ready to use our the box. On the next gen Samsung should take Motorola Razr+ approach with the front display. I have this device on a Prepaid plan and the speeds are amazing. Most of the time I am getting better speeds than my post-paid plan that has the Fold. If you are looking for a simple device that you can throw in a purse or bag on the go. This is the one. I have no issues with it's performance. The build quality is excellent also. Try it and see for yourself.

Thoughts i would love it but honesty not worth it. Just get The samsung s23 plus. It has a better battery and camera. It also can often be found on sale. The display can be fragile an there is no real benefit. But its a good phone if you really want it. Ended up swapping it for the s23 plus

I got this phone because I wanted something small, and I really enjoy how it folds down and is so compact. It fits in little bags and women's pockets well. The camera is very nice. There is a bit of a bump in the middle of the screen where it folds, but it doesn't bother me. In fact, it's kind of satisfying once you get used to it. I was able to put a pop socket on the back too. I find the outer screen useful for setting timers and checking my calendar and stuff like that. I feel like it's very protected when folded, especially since I got a foldable case for it (Otterbox).

Im hard on phones, usually crack the lense firstvor second day, so i like the fact when closed the lense is safe. I paired this phone with the canon 1500 mobile picture printer, absolutely the best pics ive ever9 seen!

I cant describe how much i don't like this phone. And i really wanted to like it. It is glitchy, does crease, has to be restarted often, has terrible battery life, and doesnt even use the whole screen to play video. Do not buy. I had it for six weeks and am promptly switching to another phone.

It's really decent phone and fun to use. If you do not care about being able to flex and brag your BEAST smartphone, I really do recommend Flip 5.

Traded in a G20+5G for this as I was tired of breaking otterbox holsters. Love that it fits in my pocket and that I don't always have to open the phone to read/reply to text messages (even using a 3rd party program). So far, no downsides that I've encountered. While you can see the fold when you look at it from the side, while using it you don't notice it and that was my biggest concern.

I love my flip 5. Its truly refreshing to have something different. So many customization options to make it truly unique. Being a guy I love the smaller form factor to carry comfortably in pocket. Software offers so many cool things. Limiting battery charge to 85% is a great feature. I use esim with Tmobile and traditional sim card with spectrum mobile. So functional for work and personal use. Samsung has knocked this one out of the park imo. Excellent screen, flagship processor, great 5g modem, acceptable battery life. Overall a great experience. Coming from a different ecosystem I find this device truly refreshing and functional. Tired of same old same old generic me too products. Customization options on lock and home screens are my favorite features. Open and close to answer and hang up is cool. Try it and I sincerely think you'll like it.

Great being able to be some basic stuff on the front screen while closed. Great as a gps/DJ or whatever you might need on road trips since the inside screen is decent size and the split screen works well. The middle crease might bug some people, but I didn't even notice it unless I was showing others pictures. Main downside for me is the camera, I've taken better pictures on my phone from 2013 (not a joke). If you don't care about the camera this might be a great phone if you like the form factor.

Love this phone. So nice and compact when it needs to be. Fast with all apps installed. Call clarity is as good as Ultra 23+. Use the outside screen way more than I thought I would.
