Fantastic, but...

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!
