[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After holding off buying a fold for 5 generations I jumped into the waters. And after owning a flip 4 and surface duo, this is the best folding experience I've had. I didnt like the narrow screen which is why I never bought it. But after using it, it's not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. One handed use is great. I have big hands so the tallness of the screen is not and issue. It get great battery life for my usage. Power users might struggle. It would have great to see a 5000mah battery alongside the snapdragon 8 gen2 like the the S23Ultra. A couple things that are negative but not directly the phones fault: cases and app optimization. Finding cases for this phone that are samsung brand are a hassle and way too expensive. Apps are always optimized for this form factor. They can be forced to fit and are functional but some you can tell they are being forces. I wish speaker placement was different, front facing and louder. The speakers fire from top and bottom on left half of screen when holding in portrait and left and right on top half when holding in landscape. Being able to set two different home screens (closed and open) each with their own look and access to goodlock takes customization to a level no other foldable can touch. All in all given the good and bad the fold 5 is, in my opinion, the best foldable yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung has been making incremental upgrades to the Flip series for years. After 5 iterations, the Flip 5 is a super polished phone that just works. Really high performance and great battery life. Even after several weeks, the "ridge" in the middle of the screen is significantly less noticeable than the Flip 3 I came from. The new front screen is super useful now and should get even better as they add more compatible apps. I really like the practicality of flip phones in general. Takes up so little space in your pocket but you still get the full screen when you unfold it. An under rated feature is the hardware fingerprint sensor. I wish more phones had this. Unlocking the phone is instantaneous. So much better and faster than under-display fingerprint sensors. I joined the flip side two years ago and I don't see myself going to another type of device anytime soon.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a true masterpiece of technological advancement. Samsung has once again pushed the boundaries of what's possible in the world of smartphones. The device retains the elegant and durable build quality we've come to expect from the Galaxy Fold series. The refined design is both striking and functional, with a larger cover display that makes one-handed use more convenient than ever. When unfolded, the tablet-like experience is immersive, making it perfect for productivity and media consumption. The inner foldable display is a true standout feature. The Dynamic AMOLED panel is brighter and more vibrant than ever, with support that ensures breathtaking visuals. The improved crease management and reduced bezels contribute to a more seamless viewing experience. The camera setup is versatile, with a triple-lens system that captures sharp and vibrant photos in various lighting conditions. Selfie enthusiasts will appreciate the cover display's selfie capabilities, eliminating the need to unfold the phone for quick snapshots. Despite its compact form factor, the battery life is impressive. The dual-cell battery ensures all-day usage, even with heavy multitasking and media consumption. Fast charging and wireless charging options are available to keep you connected without interruptions. Samsung's One UI, optimized for the foldable form factor, enhances the user experience. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a testament to Samsung's commitment to innovation.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good had a great experience with the flip. Just wished that I can take a selfie on the outside screen. When it is open other than that, it's a great phone. Have no problems with it and also wishing they. Maybe you can come up with some way. That I can protect the Inner screen when it's open just as suggested.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The concept is great, having a phone in a tablet is great, but on the z fold the screen is way too small, Personally I think is useless, and that's the reason way I decided to returned the phone, I would say that the front screen is more for like a kid with small hands
