First impressions - 1 week

I’m one week in to using the Samsung Z Flip 5 and already I can tell that I’d struggle to go back to a non flip phone. I thought the outside screen would be a novelty, but it’s so useful! I can check notifications, reply to messages (even WhatsApps), start stopwatches (which leave the screen on - very handy when cooking), control my music, and when they add maps (coming soon?) it will be so useful. This is such an upgrade from the Z Flip 4, where the screen was too basic to be really useful.
The phone itself is a joy. It feels very well made, this is premium and you can tell. The screen seems longer than other phones I’ve used, which is actually really good as most of the time I’m scrolling up and down anyway! One other thing I’ve noticed is that I can read the text without needing my glasses as often. This was a real surprise! I don’t know what tech they’re using but everything is so much clearer.
I love how you can ‘close’ the phone. It feels like you’re putting it away, and I find myself less easily distracted. I’ve also scratched a couple of phones before in my pockets with keys and coins, with this I don’t need to worry at all. It sits lower in my pocket too, which makes it feel a lot more secure.
If you haven’t used a flip phone before, this is so different to all the faceless black oblongs that all look the same. It’s genuinely interesting, everyone who’s seen it is fascinated, and when you take a picture and they can see themselves in the front screen it’s so much fun! Because it’s Samsung you know it’s quality and will last.
If you are thinking of upgrading, from a Flip 3 or Flip 4 maybe, I’d say there’s enough difference to make it worth giving a try!
I’m so glad I took a chance on this phone :)
