Final Thoughts
We still need to put the phone through its paces and benchmark both its power and battery, but so far I can’t say I’m any more enamored with foldables than I was before slipping the Flip 5 into my pocket. Samsung may implement more ways to access even more apps from the exterior screen, but for now I have to spend more time cracking open the phone to look at long messages or emails, where on a traditional “chocolate bar”-type device that information is more immediately available.
If I were truly looking for a return to flip phone age, I might consider Motorola’s latest more than Samsung, especially as it also goes for $1,000. Still, we’ll see how the phone stacks up in our full review. Stay tuned.
