But in the case of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, it\u2019s actually quite easy: this is the best flip-style folding phone you can buy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">It\u2019s a small category, so that helps. It\u2019s even smaller if you\u2019re looking at options available in the US since your choices are basically the Flip 5 or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23768630\/motorola-razr-plus-40-ultra-review-screen-battery-camera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Motorola\u2019s Razr Plus<\/a>. They have a lot in common, including the fact that they both offer a much bigger, much more useful cover screen than their predecessors. They share the same $999 price tag, too. But Samsung\u2019s flip phone is more durable, its cover screen widgets are more useful, and its camera system is better overall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block\">\n<aside class=\"duet--article--scorecard mb-16 mt-40 w-full rounded-sm border border-franklin p-16\">\n<div class=\"md:mb-12 md:flex md:border-t md:border-franklin md:pt-16\">\n<div class=\"border-t border-franklin pt-16 md:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-8 [&amp;&gt;ul&gt;li]:mb-6 [&amp;&gt;ul&gt;li]:leading-140 [&amp;&gt;ul]:my-0  [&amp;&gt;ul]:mb-16 [&amp;&gt;ul]:py-0 md:[&amp;&gt;ul]:mb-0 [&amp;_*]:font-polysans-mono  [&amp;_*]:text-14 [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black [&amp;_li]:marker:text-franklin [&amp;_p]:font-light [&amp;_strong]:font-medium [&amp;_ul]:font-light md:w-1\/2 md:border-t-0 md:first:border-r md:first:pr-16 md:last:pl-16\">\n<h3 class=\"mb-8 font-polysans-mono font-medium uppercase leading-140 tracking-12\">The Good<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list my-20 list-disc pl-18 marker:text-blurple\/100 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Useful cover screen and widgets<\/li>\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Rated IPX8 for full water resistance<\/li>\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Long software shelf life with five years of security support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"border-t border-franklin pt-16 md:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-8 [&amp;&gt;ul&gt;li]:mb-6 [&amp;&gt;ul&gt;li]:leading-140 [&amp;&gt;ul]:my-0  [&amp;&gt;ul]:mb-16 [&amp;&gt;ul]:py-0 md:[&amp;&gt;ul]:mb-0 [&amp;_*]:font-polysans-mono  [&amp;_*]:text-14 [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black [&amp;_li]:marker:text-franklin [&amp;_p]:font-light [&amp;_strong]:font-medium [&amp;_ul]:font-light md:w-1\/2 md:border-t-0 md:first:border-r md:first:pr-16 md:last:pl-16\">\n<h3 class=\"mb-8 font-polysans-mono font-medium uppercase leading-140 tracking-12\">The Bad<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list my-20 list-disc pl-18 marker:text-blurple\/100 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">So-so battery life<\/li>\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Running apps on the cover screen is tricky<\/li>\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Long-term durability is unknown<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<div class=\"mb-40 flex justify-center font-polysans-mono text-12 font-light text-blurple dark:text-franklin\"><a title=\"How we rate and review products\" class=\"border-b\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/pages\/how-we-rate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How we rate and review products<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">That\u2019s not to say that the Flip 5 is the perfect flip-style phone or the best phone you can buy for a thousand bucks. It\u2019s durable <em>for a foldable,<\/em> but that big \u201cX\u201d in its IPX8 rating means there\u2019s no guarantee against dust intrusion \u2014 and dust in a folding phone spells real trouble. You\u2019ll find better camera hardware on most other $999 slab-style phones, including a telephoto lens, and you\u2019ll struggle to get through a full day of heavy use with the Flip 5 on a single battery charge. If any of the above is a major concern, then a flip-style phone might not be for you. But if you are willing to put up with these tradeoffs, then the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is an excellent device.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23757846\/flip-phones-forever-motorola-razr-samsung\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The flip form factor is particularly good<\/a> for someone who wants to get more of the basic chores done on their phone without getting sucked into mindlessly checking app notifications and scrolling through news feeds unintentionally. The bigger, improved cover screen on the Flip 5 makes it possible to respond to a text quickly, glance at walking directions, or check the weather without coming face-to-face with absolutely everything on your phone. It\u2019s a powerful tool in the fight for your attention, and the Z Flip 5 is hands-down the best option in its class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Let\u2019s start with the main attraction: that 3.4-inch cover screen (excuse me, <em>Flex Window,<\/em> according to Samsung). That may not sound like much, but it\u2019s more than 3.5 times bigger than the 1.9-inch screen on the Z Flip 4. It\u2019s like getting out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/4\/29\/18522946\/smart-car-daimler-ending-sales-fortwo-micro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a Smart Car<\/a> and into a sedan \u2014 buckle up because you can <em>go places<\/em> now. Rather than just checking notifications, you can use a full QWERTY keyboard to respond to texts. You can see your daily schedule alongside a monthly calendar in the same view.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Samsung provides a bunch of handy widgets you can enable, disable, and rearrange to your liking. They\u2019re excellent and take great advantage of the available screen real estate; the weather widget shows you current conditions at a glance, and you can scroll down for the next week\u2019s forecast. Tapping on a calendar event brings up all the details. It\u2019s all as the good lord intended \u2014 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23815917\/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-5-motorola-razr-plus-cover-screen-widgets-apps-comparison-head-to-head\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a much better experience<\/a> than on the Motorola Razr Plus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">In no particular order, here are some things I used the cover screen to do in the past week:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list my-20 list-disc pl-18 marker:text-blurple\/100 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Respond to text messages<\/li>\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Sign my kid out of daycare<\/li>\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Check arrival times at my bus stop and note that I am definitely missing the next bus<\/li>\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Read my Threads notifications (all four of them) <\/li>\n<li class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup mb-16 pl-12 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1\">Dismiss approximately 2,000 spam calls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Widgets are great, but part of the appeal of a flip phone \u2014 at least for me \u2014 is the ability to run certain apps on the cover screen. You need a bit of a sense of adventure here because lots of apps are unequivocally awful on a small screen. But I\u2019ve discovered a few of the apps I use for quick tasks are actually fine on the cover display. It\u2019s a hassle many Flip 5 owners probably won\u2019t want to go through, but for the adventurous few, it\u2019s a big benefit to owning a flip phone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">For reasons mentioned above, Samsung makes it very difficult to run just any old app on the cover screen. You can enable a handful of preselected apps through the Labs menu, but for anything outside of messaging apps, Google Maps, or YouTube, you need to download Good Lock (and an additional module called MultiStar) from the Galaxy App Store. <em>Then<\/em> you can add additional apps to the cover screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-pullquote mb-20\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup relative bg-repeating-lines-dark bg-[length:1px_1.2em] pb-8 font-polysans text-28 font-medium leading-120 tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20  dark:bg-repeating-lines-light dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple\">You don\u2019t want to scroll through Instagram posts on a screen this small<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">You don\u2019t want to scroll through Instagram posts on a screen this small, but it\u2019s totally suitable for quick-hit tasks like checking transit arrival times or translating an unfamiliar Spanish word to English. Placing a mobile order for your neighborhood Starbucks is a stretch, but I\u2019m happy to report that it can be done. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Some apps don\u2019t work quite as well on the Flip 5\u2019s cover screen as they do on the Razr Plus\u2019 slightly bigger display. I had trouble typing in certain apps since Samsung\u2019s cover screen keyboard doesn\u2019t give you a persistent text input box, and whatever you\u2019re writing is liable to get covered up by other UI elements. But on either phone, there\u2019s a very experimental vibe to using a full app, so proceed at your own risk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block w-full md:ml-[-100px] md:w-outdent\">\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>Can you run Spotify on the cover screen?

It\u2019s a 720 x 748 60Hz panel \u2014 not as sharp or smooth as the Razr Plus\u2019 screen. But it does get bright enough for use even in direct sunlight, and it\u2019s not a screen you want to look at a lot of photos or play games on, anyway. One thing it has over the Razr Plus? An always-on display. You can see the time, date, battery percentage, and app notification icons without having to tap the screen. Quite literally, you love to see it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block md:float-left md:mr-30 md:w-[320px] lg:-ml-100\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-pullquote mb-20\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup relative bg-repeating-lines-dark bg-[length:1px_1.2em] pb-8 font-polysans text-28 font-medium leading-120 tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20  dark:bg-repeating-lines-light dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple\">Heavy users will want to work in a midday battery top-off<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">On the downside, the AOD does seem to drag down battery performance noticeably. The Z Flip 5 has a small 3,700mAh battery, so that\u2019s a legitimate concern. With the AOD enabled, I was able to get through a full day of heavy use with 4.5 hours of screen-on time \u2014 but only with a nail-biting 5 percent left in the tank as I was calling an Uber at the end of the night. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">On a more typical day with three hours of screen-on time, I had 40 percent left by the end of the night. It\u2019s good enough to get most people through a full day, but heavy users will want to work in a midday top-off to avoid going to phone battery jail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 <em>For Galaxy <\/em>chipset is just as snappy here as in the S23 series. It seems to run a little warmer in the Flip 5, maybe because there\u2019s less space for cooling mechanisms, but it never got too toasty in my pocket. The base model Z Flip 5 comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage \u2014 a bump up from the Flip 4, which started at 128GB. There\u2019s 25W wired charging (BYO charging brick, of course) and 15W wireless charging with 4.5W reverse wireless charging to top off your earbuds. I have to open the phone and set it juuust so on my stand-style Belkin Qi charger, but it works.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The Z Flip 5 and its bigger Fold 5 sibling are the first Samsung foldables that close flat \u2014 previous versions had a visible gap between the two halves near the hinge when closed. The gap is gone, a new droplet-style hinge is in, and there has been much rejoicing. It makes the Z Flip 5 a bit sleeker-looking, though it feels just as chunky as ever in the pocket of my joggers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The side rails are a flat, polished aluminum that looks nice and feels sturdy. Samsung says that the new hinge\u2019s design can withstand impacts better, but the phone\u2019s IPX8 rating is the same as last year\u2019s. That means it\u2019s resistant to full immersion in water, which is no small feat on a phone with moving parts, but there\u2019s no guarantee against dust intrusion. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/7\/28\/23811115\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-flip-dustproof-rating-tm-roh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Samsung\u2019s apparently working on that<\/a>, but in the meantime, it\u2019s a bad idea to take the Flip 5 to the beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block w-full md:ml-[-100px] md:w-outdent\">\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>The Z Flip 5 provides a healthy amount of lock screen customization.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The Flip 5\u2019s new cover screen provides a bigger canvas for lock screen customization, and Samsung provides a lot of personalization options. It\u2019s a lot like customizing a smartwatch face \u2014 you pick a basic wallpaper style, select your favorite fonts and colors, and save it. From the cover screen itself, you can long press to view and switch between your customized lock screens. As a lock screen enjoyer, I\u2019ve wasted plenty of time trying to get the background color framing a photo of my kid just right. You got me, Samsung.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">New to the Flip and Fold this year is an updated flex mode panel \u2014 that\u2019s the set of controls that you can enable when you use the phone in an L-shaped laptop mode. You don\u2019t need it in an app like YouTube that\u2019s already optimized for folding phones, but it\u2019s handy for the physical therapy video I follow <strike>every day<\/strike> most days that\u2019s only available embedded in a browser window. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block w-full md:ml-[-100px] md:w-outdent\">\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>The Flex Mode panel looks a little less beta now.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">I can tap the screen to move the video to the top half of the screen, and the flex mode panel now includes a thumbnail image and customizable controls. This is a very minor update in the grand scheme of things, but it makes the experience of using the phone in this way feel a little more polished and a little less \u201cbeta.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">More important than minor software tweaks, the Z Flip 5 continues to come with a strong software support policy: four years of OS updates and five years of security patches. Motorola, on the other hand, is offering three years of OS updates and four years of security patches \u2014 and it doesn\u2019t exactly have a great track record for timely updates. Of all the reasons to consider the Flip 5 over the Razr Plus, that\u2019s a strong one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block w-full md:ml-[-100px] md:w-outdent\">\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>Flip phone photography is fun.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Generally speaking, folding phones don\u2019t come with the latest camera hardware. That continues to be true of the Flip 5 \u2014 same as last year, it comes with a 12-megapixel f\/1.8 stabilized main camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide. There\u2019s a 10-megapixel selfie camera on the inside screen, but one of the nice things about the flip form factor is that it\u2019s easy to use the better rear-facing cameras for selfies, so it\u2019s kind of just there for video calls.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The imaging hardware is run-of-the-mill, and so are the Z Flip 5\u2019s photos. The main camera does just fine in good lighting and turned in a few shots I really dig \u2014 give it ample indirect lighting and some vibrant colors, and you\u2019ll be impressed. Portrait mode is good, if not class-leading, like the S23 cameras.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Overall, though, it\u2019s a fairly mediocre camera system for a $1,000 phone. There\u2019s no telephoto lens, and I\u2019m not impressed with Samsung\u2019s digital zoom. Photos from the ultrawide in good lighting are a little flat, and colors look off in dim lighting with plenty of smoothed-over noise. Even low-light selfies with the main camera are hit-and-miss \u2014 it chose a shutter speed of just 1\/35sec in a dim arena that left me with just one sharp photo out of a handful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block md:float-left md:mr-30 md:w-[320px] lg:-ml-100\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-pullquote mb-20\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup relative bg-repeating-lines-dark bg-[length:1px_1.2em] pb-8 font-polysans text-28 font-medium leading-120 tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20  dark:bg-repeating-lines-light dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple\">Above all, it\u2019s <em>fun<\/em> shooting photos and video with a flip phone<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Video clips are fine overall. Samsung says it\u2019s using AI to improve low-light video quality, and I think my low-light video clips look alright. But above all, it\u2019s <em>fun<\/em> shooting photos and video with a flip phone. You can fold the phone into an L shape and set it down on a table for an instant tripod and hands-free video. You can hold it up camcorder style or move the image preview to the bottom half of the screen like an old-school twin-lens reflex camera and shoot from the hip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">I seem to get the most natural reactions in photos and videos of my toddler when my phone isn\u2019t right in front of my face using any of those methods. I feel a little more engaged in the moment, too. In any case, I\u2019m hoping Samsung upgrades the cameras on the Z Flip 6 so we can get the best of both worlds: good hardware <em>and <\/em>all that flip phone fun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block w-full md:ml-[-100px] md:w-outdent\">\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>Not a perfect flip phone, but a much better one.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">There are plenty of ways that the Galaxy Z Flip 5 could be a better flip phone \u2014 the cameras could use an upgrade, I\u2019d like to run apps more easily on the cover screen, and dustproofing would be a welcome addition. It\u2019s a bit sleeker with the new fold-flat hinge but still a chunky device that would benefit from some trimming down.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Even though it could be better, it\u2019s easily the best widely available flip phone option right now. For the same price as the Motorola Razr Plus, you get a more consistent camera, robust water resistance versus splash resistance, an extra year of software updates, and much better cover screen widgets. That\u2019s really no contest. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23600774\/oppo-find-n2-flip-review-foldable-flip-phone-specs-features-camera-price\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Oppo Find N2 Flip<\/a> is another option outside of the US, but its cover screen is smaller and less useful, and its durability is uncertain since it lacks any kind of IP rating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component clear-both block\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-pullquote mb-20\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup relative bg-repeating-lines-dark bg-[length:1px_1.2em] pb-8 font-polysans text-28 font-medium leading-120 tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20  dark:bg-repeating-lines-light dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple\">The cover screen isn\u2019t just a neat party trick \u2014 it\u2019s a genuinely useful tool<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white after:absolute after:ml-8 after:mt-2 after:content-[url(\/icons\/endmark.svg)]\">If you\u2019re considering jumping from a traditional slab-style phone to a flip phone, the Z Flip 5 is a great entry point.
