Flip 5 initial impressions…

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'.
