Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5, AI Android Smartphone, Unlocked Android Smartphone, 256GB Storage, Lavender, 3 Year Manufacturer Extended Warranty (UK Version)

Having received this phone a couple of days ago, I was dreading transferring all the apps and data from my current Android phone. I needn’t have worried as Smart Switch moved everything over via Wi-Fi in about 30 minutes. After 15 further minutes, I had my online banking and Samsung pay configured. In terms of appearance, neat aluminium edges along with the glass screen and coloured rear panel, this handset looks a quality item. At this size it’s ultra-pocketable plus it’s light. The cover screen is large enough to display a useful amount of information and alerts such as weather, health data, music tracks, caller information to which you can add selected widgets. The main screen is nice and bright, with content displayed clearly. I’d never really seen the point or need for a folding screen but in this form-factor it is a major plus. There is a slight ripple along the screen fold but it doesn’t become a distraction and is hardly discernible while watching full screen content like video. There doesn’t seem to be any effect on touch screen response over the fold. When typing, the on-screen keyboard is easy to use with less miss-keying and you can achieve decent speeds. As it’s Android 13, I’m using gesture-based navigation rather than the usual three buttons which works well and has less screen clutter. Battery life can get you through a day with moderate use but with gaming and lots of screen-on time this will reduce rapidly. Luckily you have wireless charging allowing charging in bars, cafes and cars without resorting to cables. Like many current phones, there is only a USB cable included in the box and you will need to provide a charger or wireless pad. Using the phone for cashless payments is simple using Samsung Pay and Samsung Wallet. The back of the bottom part of the phone needs to be held near the card terminal reader. In my normal use the phone is quick in loading up and switching between apps. I’ve not encountered any slow-down during my time with it. Overall, there’s a lot to like about the phone. It’s stylish, a good size without sacrificing a large screen and performs well with top hardware specs.

The media could not be loaded.  I am a lover of Samsung phones, and I am finally upgrading from the S21 (which I loved) to the Samsung Z Flip5. What can I say? Well, I am lost for words, I am amazed, and I am in love simultaneously. The phone is slick, it’s beautiful and I’ve read lot’s of mention of the previous Flips having a gap and I am so glad this phone has zero gap, compact and streamlined.Moving onto the big switch on, smart switch made this really easy and fast to get set up on the new phone. The new larger screen is wonderful, and I like that even with the phone shut I can send a message, answer calls, respond to emails, check notifications, and even check the weather if I wanted to. The quality of images is much improved with its 12MP rear cameras (yes, it has two) and it also has a 10MP front camera perfect for selfies. Take full advantage of the FlexCam allowing you to take group photos with ease.I’ve heard its durable and versatile design can take any drops, bumps, and spills and with children I’m sure you’d all agree this is an added bonus however I’m not going to try it just yet.The battery life for me in comparison to my previous phone is much better, so win-win! It took about 30 minutes to give an additional 50% charge which is super-fast.If you want out of the world innovation, then I totally recommend this phone and I look forward to continuing to explore the Samsung Z Flip5.

It is my first flip phone, as I was never sure whether it will suit me and my life style. I am glad I changed my mind and applied to try this one out. My findings are: I love the design of it, looks very stylish, sleek and inviting to be explored. The size is perfect as now it fits into my pockets and does not stick out. It looks durable and sturdy as opposed to my initial thought of all flip phones being flimsy by default. It was easy to figure out settings, was easy to transfer everything I needed from Huawei to this phone. I am as probably many others is hooked of taking pictures of everything I fancy, so I must report back that camera is of high quality. I love that you can take selfies and video calls handsfree, as I use my phone very often for these both. I am yet to explore the other features of the camera a bit closer. I absolutely love that you can use half display when required, it is a great feature. The screen of the phone is impressive, it seems like a next level of experience. Lastly I must confess that it is a nice feeling to hold a new phone that attracted so much attention and positive comments from my family, friends and colleagues. If you ask me whether I recommend this product or not, I would say It is a definite YES from me. I am sure I am yet to discover some features, so will report back if there is chance to.

My first impressions of the Flip 5 are very positive. Firstly, the materials that make up the phone (metal frame, glass, and a very sturdy hinge) are of undoubtedly high quality. Specifically, the hinge and crease are a big improvement from the Flip 4. Also, in comparison to the Flip 4, the cover screen is larger in the Flip 5, making it a lot more enjoyable and user friendly. Furthermore, the camera feature is better than I expected from a flagship phone and the selfie setup is second to none. The mere fact that it fits into my purse is very handy and attractive. Thanks to the new chipset, you get a bump in battery performance. The battery may not be the greatest for heavy power users, but for me, it gets me through my day of average use with 50% or more remaining. While it could always be better, personally I am happy with the battery life. Overall, the phone is very promising and a definite compliment getter.
