LoneOwl, 05 Aug 2023Next year Samsung, or maybe 6months later if this is half price.Keep waiting then. Even Z4 dropped only about 15 % of its price.

The crease is there for a reason. Selling the phones without a crease is fraudulent and the reason crease-less Chinese phones has been vapourware up until the 2023 Razr models.
Spoiler alert: The Flip5 is still going strong at 200k+ flips, while the Razr broke at around 120k.

So the battery rating is somewhat better than the Razr 40 Ultra, but way off from Oppo Find N2 Flip and Vivo X Flip. It goes to show that big battery still wins the day.

The only thing better on the Razr 40 Ultra (Razr Plus) is the cover display. That's it. I was going to get the Razr Plus but couldn't get as good of a deal as I could to get the Flip 5 so that's what I got. I really wanted the Razr Plus, but I think I'll be just as happy with the Flip 5. It's superior in a number of ways, although truthfully, I only cared about the one: Software and Security updates for FIVE years. Motorola doesn't come close. Also, the camera is better on the Flip 5, and it actually has water resistance which the Razr Plus does not have. I couldn't care less about DeX. I never use it. If I want to use it, I still have a Galaxy S23 that I will not part with. In two or three years from now, I'll use either the Flip 5 or my S23 as collateral for a trade in to get my wife's next cell phone.

Correct white balance is critical for good photography. Giving you as much raw data to work with as possible. Adding or removing saturation to post processing is an esthetic choice. This does not affect white balance.

why no Dex? Instead they should implementi it in more phones, at least also in the A series. It's very underrated since the modern phones hardware can easily run a pocketable desktop

King of battery life among flips seems to remain the X Flip. I'd rather get the Razr 40 Ultra AKA Razr+ over the Flip5.. I prefer the rounded sides and better design. But I'm good with what I have. Don't want to be stuck paying another $1000 for another flip.
A lot of my TV shows are at 360p. The Razr 5G's cover display is 800 x 600 at 2.7". Razr+ is 1066 x 1056 at 3.6". Flip5 is 748 x 720 at 3.4". The TV shows looks better on my Razr 5G thanks to the lower res compared to the newer Razr and higher pixel density.
I don't even use my foldable flips anymore. They're only used to play movies and TV shows. Dasher app on Android does not make a sound when receiving an order. It would initially do it and then it stops. and battery optimization is off for it. Had to go back using an iPhone.

Samsung is asking consumers to pay $1,800 for the new Galaxy Z Flip5, but for that stratospheric price, what meaningful improvements is Samsung actually offering? The $1,800 price point seems designed more to prop up Samsung's margins than to deliver genuine value to consumers. For most people, the Galaxy Z Flip5 will likely feel like a mere incremental update and a blatant attempt by Samsung to stretch what consumers will pay, rather than a substantial leap forward in folding smartphone technology worth such a steep increase in cost.
