I received my Flip 5 at the end of November and the screen already has burn out at the fold. This is actually my second Flip, I had the 3 before I bought the 5. The same thing happened with the 3 after about 6 months but after getting it repaired at a local shop under warranty, I didn't have any more issues with screen burn out for the next 16 months. I was hoping that with the new one being two models newer, this issue wouldn't happen or at least take more than a year and a lot of wear before it happened. However, this new one didn't even make it 3 months before the same issue happened. It also seems like Samsung has become much stricter on even their manufacturers warranties and I'll have green lines of screen burnout and slight screen flickering for at least a couple of weeks.
I love this phone a lot because it's compact but I still get a full sized smart phone when I need it. It just doesn't seem like it can stand up to even minimal wear and tear though. I don't have kids, no one uses my phone except for myself. I work a desk job so I have it in half folded mode for most of the day and unfolded for most of the rest. I probably open and close the phone less than 10 times a day. Maybe I just got a poorly made one this time but it's so disappointing.
If you're looking for a second phone and want this one for the novelty or you don't plan on folding/unfolding it almost ever, it's great! Otherwise, it may be best to stick with the S series of phones.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this phone October 2023 I've been in love with it ever since 😍... Best foldable Flip type phone available! I've had no problems and I actually learn new things daily about my flip 5 ^_^ If I could give it 10 stars ✨️ I would!
Wow... fits right in my pocket. Can receive calls with it closed. It's fast! The screens are dynamite. Very happy with my purchase. Highly recommended.
Very disappointed. Got a white line accross the screen just a few months after purchase.

I used to love my Z Flip until this most recent update. The Share feature no longer works from the photo gallery; it won't show text message as an option for sharing, just completely random outlook contacts are the only sharing suggestions. The phone app now has a super prominent button for video calling right next to the call button, making it way too easy to accidentally video call someone (nightmare!) The Settings icon is now so tiny, and it's such an important button. The DND notification icon looks exactly like the text message notification icon, so I'm constantly thinking I received a text when it's just the DND. And the new emojis are so creepy. Please bring back the old emojis! I know this is a review of Android software, not particular to the Z Flip, but how else to leave this feedback??
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Junk! Husband and I got brand new phones.. within 1 month my pixels on my screen showing thru. Less then a month later my husband has a white line thru his screen. They are under warranty... but you have to send the phone into Samsung for warranty work... and buy a burner phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
