As a primary Apple user... this flip5 has stolen my heart...
Time to switch to samsung.
And you have stolen mine.
You will be blown away from how much you can customise your phone coming from a apple

Think for longevity
Just got mine in today. Initially folding my phone was very awkward but now, I kinda love it! I was even trying to fold my old phone 😂 It's really nice being able to close my phone, you get a mental rest.
Great review as always! Wanted to share my thoughts after switching to the Z Flip 5 after using iPhone for the last 10 years. Been using the Z Flip 5 for the last few days: 1) Camera - compared to the 14pro, 14pro 48mp wide camera is better and telephoto is nice. But for everyday use and someone who is NOT an influencer/uses social media all the time - this is more than good enough. 2) The crease - you can feel and see the crease but honestly, just like the iphone notch, you forget about it. Most of the time your hands are closer to the bottom anyway. 3) Being able to use all the apps and respond to all my messages on the cover screen has significantly reduced how often i need to open the phone and end up doomscrolling. This was the main reason why I switched. 4) As a regular user (instagram here and there, texting, i also don't game) - battery life was comparable to iphone 13/14. I took it off the charger yesterday around 10:30am at 100% - it was around 30% when I went to bed around 12:30am and I just put it for charging now at 15% roughly 24h later. For me this is good enough.
Nice
Nicely put, thank you 😊
Love the perspective of an average user! Thanks!
For me the battery even better, almost 2 days. Of course if I play games (I don't) or using it constantly i can kill it in 1 day.
In the long term, the battery goes worse.
I watch a ton of reviews and seriously you are one of if not the best I've ever seen. So thorough and yet entertaining! Keep doing exactly what you're doing! Amazing job!
Yes! and she's more adorable than the Flip 5
I think it's worth mentioning that Samsung has an incredible trade in program regardless of what pgone you have which makes the price point more acceptable. For example, I was able to trade in mu flip 4 for $900 and all I had to pay was the difference plus tax of the original price which came out to be about $250 and free shipping.
I payed 50$ with trade in
That is crazy, US trade in programmes are different
So yall saying I need to go to samsung to trade in? Lol
Dont get rid of your iphone, you are going to need it, the battery its horrible, and the camera its ok, but my iphone xr had better camera and battery.
@@fantasmaacido1773 As a Samsung user with too many Apple users around me, I can tell you're lucky. I know no Apple user without battery issues and I never had such thing.
I appreciate the effort you put into filming in a variety of locations! Not only does it keep the video visually interesting, it really helps people like me who like to see how the phone looks in a variety of real locations. Sometimes it's hard to get a sense of the color of a device off the manfacturer's digital renders or someone reviewing inside their studio/bedroom.
I preordered this phone and I can't wait to get it. I've viewed tons of videos on this phone and yours is by far the best. Fun, informative, and to the point. Well done!
This is your first video I have come across and less than 4 mins in I am subscribed. Right to the point without being boring. Not just stats but lots of personal / subjective takes and nuances. Thats what I want in a review.
This was the first phone review video I ever saw that showed gaming performance and mentioned thermal throttling. Awesome work, seriously. I hope you will also do a long-term review once the phone is a few months old. Keep up the awesome work!
Got the Fold 5 yesterday as my first Foldable. Great device and Im confident with the incremental durability of this 5th gen device. Oh, and the new s pen case is a must...great protection and not bulky at all.
I have been watching reviews of the flip for the past week and you are the first one that pointed out what I consider to be a major shortfall. I assumed wrongfully that it included DEX capability just like every other flagship and I had just confirmed you are correct by looking at my daughter's phone that I had just bought her. In this case, it doesn't really matter because she doesn't use that feature but it is still quite surprising and many people might be assuming it's there when making the purchase. We'll done Ella!
I’m an iPhone 14 Pro Max user and CANNOT WAIT to pick up my Flip5 tomorrow. Great review, and loved the little SOMI promo :)
I hope modern phones do transition into this eventually, and I hope more phones like this keep appearing in the market and getting improved! the portability is amazing, especially for women's jeans. It's unbelievable that the tech industry cared more about this than the stupid fashion industry...like..for the love of God, why do I have to carry a freaking purse just to safely carry my phone? just because it won't fit in my pocket! I know they probably were not thinking on women's jeans specifically, but still..
i always felt that the z flip is made for the girlies
Wow, this review went into a lot more details than I expected. Love the thermal shots.
wow, you answer so many of the tech feature questions but also the camera and vibe questions. Very well rounded review.
ok the way this is the only actually in depth and informative review ive seen of the phone so far when ive been researching to see if i should buy it. thank you for that lol
OF COURSE there will be a crease, wtf are people expecting???
I love that it has such a sturdy hinge! Can use every angle.
I’ve been WAITING for your review! I bought a flip 4 right before the 5 dropped with the thought that I could trade up if I wanted to, and I did. I can’t wait for it to arrive!
best and most neutral review I have seen so far. I still dont see myself using a Flip. Maybe in 3-5years when my S23U getting "old".
I've always been so intrigued by the Samsung Flip Phones! I've been wanting to get one since the z flip 4, but i told myself i should wait for the 5 for a better phone, and i was right! this phone looks so cool and most importantly, it's efficient! I hope i get one of these soon! I also love the way you made this review, the way you speak is so captivating and kept me interested in the video! Also, the way you filmed at different locations made it even more interesting to watch and never left me bored! You just earned a new sub
Another fantastic video from you Ella, your editing is top tier 💜
Watching this on my flip 5 flex window. What really surprised me the most is the battery life. I thought I would easily ran out of battery but noooo. It's all good for me so far and I'm loving new flip 5. It's really fun to use.
Thank you for this video . I have ordered this phone and can’t wait to see it with all your helpful tips this week .
I was WAITING for you to decide!!!!!! Thank you for the review!
Hope you liked it!
I said goodbye to Apple for this phone!!I pre-ordered and it arrived early- I'm SO in love
This is the best video yet that I have seen. Thank you!
OMG, your a Youha fan!!! Thats the first time I see someone listening to her music outside me and my BFFs. Thank you soo much for showing it
Thanks for the indepth review! i just pre-ordered mine via your link, much appreciated!
Thank you for such a detailed and easy to understand review :) New subscriber here from the UK and love your channel x
Nice to see comparison data!
Very great review! You're very thorough as always:)
My phone shipped and I absolutely cannot wait to start using it! Long time Apple user and this phone convinced me to switch back!
Great review!! Very thorough! Thank you! 😊
Thank you for this video, as someone who loves tech and has been watching smartphone videos for yeeeaaarrrsss, i really appreciate your special touch both highlighting the technical details but moreso going into the use cases of the phone's features (such as mentioning why the show palm feature with the screen folded is useful in pictures). This type of information is missing from so many others i watch. Thank you
I was in Spain 🇪🇸 this summer and this phone is surprisingly popular out there Nice review 😊 👍 Cheers from San Diego California
This was a great video, thank you for giving such an informative review!
Thank you well explained ,was confused but after your review its clear to buy ❤
Reasons i'm getting a flip 1. IT flips 2. An extra screen to customize 3.i use widgets like an absolute crazy person 4. Cool camera selfie factor(living in another country I'd like to take more pics) 5. Its cutely compact😊 6. Massive upgrade from my lg stylo 6 7. Lots of storage
Very helpful, thanks :) can’t wait to see your review for the Fold 5 if you do one :D
Amazing review as always! And i love your eyelid shimmer :3 ✨✨
Thank you so much!!
Just clicked the like button before even watching, i know I'm guaranteed to line the video. Always good content. Keep them coming
I just pre-ordered mine today and ordered a phone case and screen and lens protectors. I'm so ready. And excited. I'm switching from my S21. ❤
wow sooo helpful u did everything!!!! great job girl
So happy to see you in Samsung’s video!
since your unboxing, i've been waiting for your in depth review of the flip5! this didn't disappoint. looks like they focused on giving the phone more form factor upgrades vs improving the features? 🤔 will definitely consider buying flip5 once it goes on sale ❤
I think Samsung got it right this iteration. I'm liking what I see of the Z Flip 5 vs the latest RAZR. Just waiting for the cameras to match the price competition. Another great vid!
Found this channel the other day. Awesome work.
Welcome!
Thank you. I will be ordering this phone either tomorrow or Friday. Great video. Thanks for posting/sharing. Cheers!
And what do you think? 😅
Great review, El. I’m an Apple fan-boy but I have to admit, this is a very interesting product.
Love your reviews ❤❤❤
great review! thank you so much :)
YOUHA!!!! top tier music taste as always
Wow new subscriber here. i love how you tackle every details of the phone. Will follow you on tiktok too!
As always with a perfect video review, thank you ❤️
Thanks for watching!
@@CreatedbyEllaYTwhat about Honor V2?
Ella. your videos are just getting better and better! Keep it up!
switched from an iphone 13 to this and my god am i loving it. got a nice pixel art icon pack to go with the retro gaming aesthetic im going with for my wallpaper, the customisability is insane, and i love using the flex window as well. the battery life has been very good too, better than i had originally thought. improvements
Hows the battery experience so far? Are you able ro type/text on the cover screen as well?
14 Pro Max here - what’s the change been like from iOS and the larger slab?
Love it .. big bricky phones are getting annoying.. really love the compact design..
I just bought mine today. Been using Apple for many years, and currently also using the ipad pro for my art, but I'm so excited to see what this little thing is all about!
Ayy Youha is so underrated. Great review btw
Great video Ella ❤
Awesome description ❤
I convinced my mom to buy one after watching your video. She misses her old flip phone. Thanks for another great vid!
glad u enjoyed :)
I just got mine and I love it!
My dream phoneee
Fantastic review 😊
The best review ❤
I'm typing this on a Flip 5 that arrived early. So far, I am loving this phone. Switching from a fold4, I was afraid to lose the perks of the bigger screen, but with my lifestyle, the Flip 5 is better suited. I tested the cameras las night in a low light setting and the flip5 came on top in most videos and photos until I reached 3x zoom. What no review led has mentioned is that although the flip5 has surround sound, it is not as "full" as the fold 4 or even the s23 ultra. It's not obvious with things like KZhead videos, but when listening to music or gaming, the lower frequency sounds on the Flip 5 are lacking. Something I didn't expect to find.
Wow so u sold ur fold 4?
So stoked to get mine tomorrow 😮💨
supergood and realistic review, ty
was so surprised to see ucla in the background 😂 great review as always!!
Thank you! 😁
This was the best review u know your stuff
Honestly its such a pretty phone, pretty convenient with the cover screen. The widgets seem so fun and i looove using widgets. I could definitely see myself owning one, shame the camera is still a work in process in certain areas, do they allow "custom" color for the phone itself, like in the past? Anyways! Great video!!
I think the trackpad would he very useful for those whose hands are full or cant reach the top of the screen when doing something. I like the idea, some people might find it useful
I’ve been an iPhone user but wasn’t really swayed by the iPhone 15 range after checking them out in-store- saw this online and went ahead with the blind buy. From this great review, the phone should hopefully suit my lifestyle! Thanks for this comprehensive review and I cannot wait to receive my new phone! 😄
Dont get rid of your iphone, you are going to need it, the battery its horrible, and the camera its ok, but my iphone xr had better camera and battery.
@@fantasmaacido1773 I'm finding it okay thus far!
The girl answering about the Iphone in your comment, is doing that with all the people that are changing, lol I hope Apple is paying her at least. Welcome to the good side! I hope you enjoy your new phone!
@@hanashin7077 I am really enjoying my Z Flip 5 thus far! I will definitely do! 😀
i love that there's no bg music here. subbed!
These are the type of videos that are selling me on getting one of these. I’ve been using my iPhone 12 mini for the past two years, and I’m just looking for a change of pace. I’ve been using Apple products similar to the iPod than the evolution of the iPhone every generation up until the 12th and I think it’s time for a change. Hopefully going this week to get one.
I'm in love with the voice 💕
Thanks for the review. I read the official reason there is no Dex is because of heating issues with this particular phone when usining Dex. Thanks again and take care
This phone seems like its really convenient for texting and typing. I might have to look into one of these phones.
great review! Keep up the good work
Thanks!
I actually think I’ve fallen in love with my flip 5 ❤ I’m coming from the flip 3, so still a foldable.. but the flip 5 has stolen my heart for sure ❤❤ .. thank you for this video and stay awesome 💜
Are flip phones durable? How much did you use your Flip 3? Actually I'm wanna buy a new phone.... But I'm so confused between s23 ultra & Z flip 5 😭
@@multi-stan-Gurl I had my flip 3 for 18 months, but traded it in for the flip 5 and part of my package with EE .. I loved my flip 3 and used it every day, it was always reliable too .. but I love my flip 5 as well, the bigger cover screen is awesome! ❤️ maybe you should check out both the phones you like before getting one, but I will say the flip 5 hasn’t disappointed me at all 🥰 xx
@@sharonburton4846 thanks
Are you using your flip as your main device or do you have like a back up phone? I notice that in the earlier releases a lot of people have been using iPhone + flip which I don't think is smart lol. Did you experience a lot of problems with it? Do you think it'll last for at least 3-4 years?
i came here to watch the review but... i totally lost it @3:12🤩😍 dunno what it was... but i liked it...🤫 ow yeah i almost forgot... nice 1 girl keep going you rock!!! best and honest review so farrrrrr💯
I cant wait for my flip 5 to come in!
I love your reviews, theyre very thorough and often touch on details other reviewers dont. Cant wait for my flip 5 to arrive today! If Samsung keeps up their insane preorder trade in promos, I'll def upgrade yearly. Here's hoping they at least improve the camera hardware next year, bc theyre getting so close to the ideal flip foldable
Storage
Your music taste is so good lmao🩷
best tech review channel!
thank you!
Amazing review.
overall i think this is a big improvement for the flip 5 not only in the performance but just the design improvements one dissapointment no macro, dont know how long term would be with these, since ive heard of them break,but i think this one is the one i would get for myself.
I’m getting it tomorrow ahhhhh
Great review thanks. One question: would you exchange with S23 ultra?
been watching so many flip videos but yours is most refreshing. im surprised samsung didnt sponsor you, but maybe it's a good thing cos many of your pointers were overlooked by other reviews out there. fantastic jobbb ella!
Sponsorships between KZheadrs is kinda considered sponsored.
@@gws89 really? but she said it isnt!
@@darknovember "phone provided by Samsung for review." Technically is a sponsored product but it's not advertising spot
@@gws89 i see, thanks for clarifying
Watching this with my flip 5 ❤
I always love samsung's personalization
great review ✨
Thank you! 🤗
Informative review, thank you. I have the flip 3 which I love, I use a magnetic car mount on top half since bottom is the wireless charging. Doesn’t look like flip5 has a spot for a metal mount on the top. I may have to change my car mount.
Best review! I cant wait to own this very soon 🎉 If Apple made this people would ‘flip’ out!!
I’m getting mine tomorrow!! Upgrading from the flip 4.
Very good review😊 I feel it's not worth giving up like s23ultra for less battery and camera. I would like to know, what phone is your daily driver?
All the information i need regarding the z flip 5❤
