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.

          Surprising how it achieved a better battery score (87 hours) despite having a smaller battery than the Razr 40 and ultra which have 4200 and 3800 mah but score 85 and 83 hours respectively even with their lesser powerful SoCs
          Samsung optimised this well

          GSMA though should also post the standby battery draw as they've shared those results in some other reviews

            Samsung expects us to pay more for the novelty factor of a flip, but to endure battery life reminiscent of when LG was releasing phones? Yeah, nah!

              that throttling test is probably the worst I've ever seen. Could probably bake those paper displays.

                I would've bought one but Samsung ditched the bespoke option this year, so screw them.

                  For some Reason they manage to break Oppo record in worse sustained perfomance record, 30 ish% they could just use midrange soc at this point.

                      "The recognizable Samsung take on colors means you'll be getting vivid output with consistently accurate white balance."

                      If it's vivid, cannot be accurate unless subject has vivid colors. Which is not the case here.
                      🤦🏻‍♂️
