I'm actually very impressed by the video quality on the flip, especially in low light. Great video!
Loved your review. Very natural yet very useful. P.s. this is the first review I could find in YT comparing both the foldables. Been looking for one these last 4 days. Kudos!
Thank you!
Douche-response spotted 👆
Loving the vlog style review Ben! Different from all the talking head reviewers - you actually show us that you are using the phone as a daily driver and not just tell us you did.
Thank you!
First reviewer to be doing such comparison. I like the effort you put in making such content. Keep it up sir
Finally get to see both the flips side by side. Wish Razr plus was available in my country but isn’t . Really love the magenta colour but oh well. Pre-ordered the z flip instead. Looking forward to using it. Thanks for the great review !
That's exactly what I needed! Thanks, Ben!
Glad to help! Thank you
Great video. I've watched a lot of other typical review videos but this "day in the life" style was actually really helpful.
Thank you!
I pre ordered mine last week. Won't get it until mid August. I enjoy watching your videos!
Awesome! Thank you!
Love your content man. Watched every single one of your uploads since I found your channel.
Thank you!
Great little review there Ben. Am very interested in getting this phone once it is confirmed that the good lock app can enable any app on the flex cover screen.
Brilliant Ben, good to see this comparison.
Thank you. 2:55 was exactly what I've been looking for. The comparison of the hinge. I love to hold my Flip phones like a camcorder when recording. I've noticed how the RAZR is definitely not as sturdy as the Samsung.
Thanks for showing them side by side! Hardcore Samsung guy here (phones, Tabs, notebooks, TVs) but Motorola did it right with the Razr+. I want a flip foldable that's small and light when folded but opens to a large, WIDE display when opened and can run any app on the OD out of the box. I'm glad Samsung finally "fixed" the OD (should have been done 3 versions ago) but the phone is still too skinny for me.
Just recently found this channel. Great content
Thank you!
the crepe and bun looked so goooood. I am totally trying the cilantro and ice cream combo
3.4 inch outside screen on the Flip :) Love your videos !❤
Awesome content and video comprising as always Ben's bro
Thank you!!
Love the food commentary. Great seeing you (briefly) in Seoul!
Thank you! Good seeing you too!
I wanted to try the Razor since I'm not a huge fan of Samsung software, but trading in my Flip 4 for 512gb Flip 5 on preorder, my total cost is only $52.43. insane!
Yeah the trade in deals are actually very good. Same with the watch. I ended up getting both.
But 256gb is too small... i feel even 512 is small for now a days
@@jrw1662 Just checked order and it's 512gb. I don't play large games nor keep large videos (other than about 10 movies) on my phone, so meets my storage needs. My 30+ other phones do have SD card support. Peace
Moto has some great trade in deals too, idk why everyone is acting like they don't
@@jrw1662bro what are you going to install
Lol lol Ben, you're killing us lol you're the hardest working man on YT. You've pretty much dropped a vid every day this week. Very impressive
Thanks!
As ever mate a great review I really nice to get an insight in types of food you like 👏😎
Thank you
Great content as always ben
Thank you
I like very much your videos for all details, comparisons, knowledge of numerous phones, specially fold phones. And I appreciate when you walk in Hong Kong streets and show us your favourite restaurants or dishes ! As you often mentioned that you use gboard, may I ask for an advise to use voice input on my Huawei Mate Xs (usually good, but regularly get no input without not any reason). Thanks a lot.
Thank you!
Bro, food and tech?!?! Amazing content 🥲🫶🏽
i once saw motorola razr ultra vs fold 4 like ,, "wow that big screen and curved outside"... but after seeing z flip 5 in person,,,damn, that flat design on the outside is so sick,, its like see the Ioniq 5 , so futuristic yet so old.. like cyberpunk
Which phone do you prefer between the flip 5 or the razor +?
The Moto RAZR Plus wins in the outside screen flip foldable department because of the many uses
Liked the video, but wouldn’t really call it a comparison. 95 percent was just Flip 5 footage, how am I supposed to accurately see how they compare like that 😅 I didn’t see a lot of quality difference in the photos I must say.
Yeah I felt a lot of bias towards Samsung in this one. They're both great phones and the camera on moto is perfectly fine quality
Even though I'm not really interested in the Flip phones, i still enjoy watching you day travelling around Hong Kong 👍
Thank you
That Samsung fan is dope bro. I want one myself lol
I actually like the minor improvements and im tempted to buy but im gonna hold off. I just literally got a Xiaomi 13 Ultra thanks to your video and vlog and have been enjoying that phone as well.
Thank you! Well the 13 ultra has a much much much better camera than flip 5
@@bensgadgetreviews oh yeah, most certainly, and that's partly why I bought it along with the software. But what you mentioned about what's great about the Flip 5 towards the end, those are some solid points as well :)
Thanks for the good explanation of the cell phone and very good video keep it up
Loved this video, as usual
Thanks so much!
Ben's day in the life vlog is the best, bar none.
Such a good video! You should do something similar with the fold 5.
Thank you
Great video!
Hi Ben, great to cu at 三禾 today afternoon & just want to say hi & appreciate that your review video is really useful for my change of mobile phone👍
Keep on it & support you guy 😉💪
CHing, thank you for watching my videos! 多謝你support
I have used the razr 2020,2022,also a flip 3,i purchssed razr 40 ultra am happy with it i rarely open it now i do almost everything on the outer screen,im getting over 24h battery life.Its always been about the outer screen for me since 2020 ive used foldables i will never carry a brick again If you buy a razr or flip just use it and enjoy yiur purchase snd font worry about the fanboys and haters... Why dont Americans get a 33w charger with their razr? We do here in Australia..peace..
Very well done, informative video
Thank you for your vlog with Z Flip5. The camera seems to be the same as my flip 3 it's sad !
Not exactly the same. This will destroy your flip3 on pictures and videos. The lenses may be the same MP, but they're larger, and the software algorithm and the processor are way better.
29 °C? that's what a call a good winter day in my city 😅🌞
Other then "your country" everybody know what that weather is
Aha include cm m km etc
@@jrw1662 you forgot to include mmHg ! 🤘
Same here in Brazil
@@DiarioAutomotivo yeah, I've been to Brazil too. Awesome country! 🤘🇧🇷🤘
You probably mean in Fahrenheit…right?😅
Surprisingly the Motorola RAZR's camera is slightly better than the Z Flip 5. I'm just impressed.
I feel they are neck and neck. Not much of a difference. I bought the Razr and I'm very happy with my purchase. The phone in my opinion feels very premium. I love that it's still very thin even with the case on. The Flip 5 looks too boxy for me. Razr in my opinion is more sleek looking plus the Magenta color is gorgeous!
I'm jealous you already have it!!!
Why compared to razr+ if you were not going to continue talking about both?
Why can't I compare a little but focus most of video on flip? The flip is the newer product. I made a whole video on the Razr months ago
Also what more is there to talk about beyond hinge, cameras and outside screen? These phones are bland outside of those factors.
You hardly spoke about the Motorola Razer+. How does it compare to the Flip 5?
Great review. What's the purpose of the 'selfie' camera on the inside screen when you have better cameras and view finder on the outside screen? Can't they remove it and make it cheaper and increase battery size as well?
Because then you won't have a way to take photos/record yourself with the main screen facing you
Thinking of pre-ordering this but the life is very less desirable for me. They killed it with the form factor though.
So tired of UA-camrs rating a phone higher because a benchmark is slightly higher. Nobody cares about benchmarks. You see zero diverence between the two in everyday use. Not like either one are gonna be slow in 2-3 years when they trade it in.
When did I talk about benchmarks?
I never saw benchmarks mentioned in this video, but as a generalisation, you are correct, especially with flip phones that are aimed at a target audience that is not spec-chasing. This is more a lifestyle phone than a camera, gaming or multitasking phone.
Still the Razr 40 ultra is more beautiful and playful than the Flip 5
Still the Razr 40 ultra is more beautiful and playful than the Flip 5
I had all flips before . Now I prefer the RAZR.
I had all the Samsung flips as well and now I’m a Razr owner! The Outer display is a beast! I love it!
Design- wise moto makes the flip look like an older model
Nope
Disagree.
7:40 your new friend so cute 🥰
Hong Kong is a great place to indulge yourself with delicious foods ♥️
Yo Ben hope you're good the Samsung galaxy z flip 5 there's a big improvement and looks really good but the battery could be much better I prefer the Motorola Razr 40 ultra way more that's my opinion anyway I enjoyed your video Keep it up bro 👊🏾 one love to tech📱
But the battery is no better on the 40 🤷♂️
@@lukemothug the battery is a lot better than the Motorola Razr 2022 model and the Samsung galaxy z flip 5 and if you still don't think so that's your opinion the Motorola Razr 40 ultra is good for me
3.2 inch on the z flip 5 cover screen is incorrect. It is actually 3.4. Also @6.50, you had mentioned that Z flip 5 only supports fewer apps on the cover screen. That may be true but there’s a workaround by using good lock app. Also, as per Samsung, they will add support for all apps in the next software update.
Hi, I'm here, I want to ask how the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 battery can last for a long time
I'm legitimately having a hard time deciding which one I want, because both of them are a massive upgrade over the Z Flip 4; But I'm leaning towards Samsung.
in case you take z flip 5 you can use all apps with good lock
Liked and subbed. But I wanted more comparison with Razr+. Like compared to the razr, what is the flip5 battery life? And you didn't show the battery percentage on the razr that day in the video, how did it perform? L or W compared to the flip5?
Razr+ has 100mAh more battery life than the flip5 (3800mAh)
Thank you !
I have preordered it.. coming from a flip4 .. because the larger screen is really an upgrade from the tiny window. Can’t wait to use mine!
Is the middle screen crease more visible on the Flip 5 compared to Razr? Or my eyes are deceiving me?
Whilst I’m not sure about the flip my much older Samsung s21 ultra has adaptive battery built into the os which means it learns your usage patterns and can then save battery it does take a few days of gathering usage data but your battery life should improve after a week or so
just a note on the apps on the cover screen: they're basically widgets and not full apps, so app developers can easily make it possible to make their apps available on the cover screen
you can use all apps with good lock
I think I would still choose the Razr+ over the Flip 5
I am looking forward to a thorough review. I did preorder the Moto Razr Plus, and I put it through the paces to see if it was a good phone for my daily use. With good overall battery life, it got me through a busy day with moderate to heavy usage with some battery left at the end of the day. I often suffered from some anxiety worrying was I gonna need a charger. I did actually return the Razr as it had a cheap feel and did not give me the feel of a premium product.
I am looking forward to more reviews of the Galaxy Z Flip 5. I do believe this may end up being a disappointment as well. It appears to have a better build quality. However, Samsung seems to have skipped out on and opportunity to actually update with some premium specs and just provide an update vice an actual upgrade.
Love my RAZR. Love that full functional front screen, and the battery life.
I agree! I've been loving mine as well.
The portion of the external display being blocked by the camera module on the Moto Razr would annoy me. I'm glad Samsung didn't take that approach.
Naah it's resizeable. Rather samsung got a defeat there
@@sukantkumar9956 But resizing it to avoid the camera module would actually make the usable display smaller than the Flip 5 display.
Agreed!! those two punch holes would bother me so much. i don't understand people's aesthetic. so strange
Nice video! I am tiring of other creator videos where I have no idea if the video is a phone or an expensive $10,000 camera. You shot more normal real-life footage, and made it interesting. That said, I feel the selfie quality of the Flip 5 looks awful if I pay attention to what's on the sides or in the background of you. Very pixelated, lines blur to become a mess. It's absolute garbage. I would never buy this. Excellent and honest job with your video.
With the SD8G2, although technically very similar to the SD8+G1, we would still expect maybe 30 mins extra than the Flip 4, the major issue remains, that the battery is relatively small for a phone with all the power-consuming features. So the Flip 5 is not really aimed at power users, more for casual users that maybe do not break 3-4 hours SOT per day.
At £1050 in the UK, for what you get, you are not buying this for value, it is because you want the flip lifestyle. I would easily prefer the S23+ which is now cheaper and has better cameras, longer battery life, better thermals, and ultimately likely to last a lot longer.
My hope is that Samsung will sell a Galaxy Flip 5FE at around £700. A mid-range chip, maybe just one great primary rear camera with a larger battery that will appeal to a new wider audience.
I just want a smaller phone then the s22 ultra or iPhone pro max
2:45 Razr+ uses the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
Not the 8 Gen 1.
Can you film with the phone close and only use the outside screen?
Hello I am the owner of a RAZR and I am surprised that usb C to hdmi is not working. is it working on Samsung flip 5 ?
i can't decide if I want to trade my 14 pro in for the flip5. I'd be doing it for the storage upgrade, I'm currently at 128gb and I could get the 512gb for only $100 when I trade in my phone.
Are you doing a review on the honor magic V2?
And I think both phones are perfect very good will like to have both 🤗
thank you for the review. I am using Flip4 and I don't like the flip5 much. It didn't improve much overall
Is this phone is still getting so hot during video record ? I have a flip 4 and it heating so hot during video call and recoding video. Thank u for answering
I like rarz cover screen better. They made the right choice covering the whole screen rather than folder shape on zflip
I agree. Really wanted the razr but t-mobile gave me the flip 5 for free so I couldn't resist
But the slightly smaller external screen on the Flip5 prevents the camera bumps from interfering with the running app. So if there is something you need to tap which is blocked on the Razr+'s external screen by the camera bumps, you are out of luck. Samsung definitely made the right call here.
I think Samsung signature on the flip 5 speaks for it. But I prefer the wider aspect ratio of the razr, edging closer towards traditional slab phones these days. And the fact that you can run almost about any app on the razr's cover screen might be a little underrated
Edit: okay you can run any app on the z flip's cover screen by virtue of the Goodlock app. But the fact that the RAZR + can run it natively is a bonus.
I run pokemon sleep on the moto cover screen lol. If it doesn't work like that on the flip 5 seems dangerous to leave the phone unfolded next to your head all night
@DeadAugur what's your I.D on Pokémon Go may I add you there as a friend?
Samsung confirmed the Good Lock will have a module to run any app on the cover screen
You can run any app by downloading samsung’s good lock. There’s a video from Casey something on it on YT on it already
@@Junispro31 that's nice. It seems the zflip and RAZR are closer phones than anyone thought
Lovely ❤
With samsung good lock u will be able to run any appp on the cover screen
one request please upload such camera comparison videos for pc users at least 1440p. its not very clear to really see good comparison videos such as this one in 1080p. its all not that differentiable in 1080 and its hard to really see any real difference please. I am a long time subscriber of your channel, I know you do YT for fun/ part time but still I want a little good video quality no 4k just 1440p please.
From 72%is pretty good battery optimization, what would it be if it was from 100-99%?
i think so too. i need to see a test run from 90% at least. it's weird how we started from 72%, super random. the 'protect battery' option caps at 85%.
It’s all about the useable outer screen for me….Razr wins hands down.
Except Samsung phones are far better 😂
@@williamg7138 not the flip 2 and 3 I had….both screens cracked.
@kramshiron Same thing happened to my friends Motorola
For me, the Flip5 wins hands down. Unlike what the video said, you can run any app you want on the Flip5's external screen. Granted, not out of the box, but you simply have to first install and set up the Good Lock app. Also, the slightly smaller external screen on the Flip5 prevents the camera bumps from interfering with the running app. So if there is something you need to tap which is blocked on the Razr+'s external screen by the camera bumps, you are out of luck.
@@larryb4392 sorry no, refresh rate is way better on the RAZR, inner and outer screen...the outer screen is still more usable than the flip even with goodlock.
Just read Honour has one coming up.
With what they did with their fold, their flip might be another hit.
I do think the Motorola edge out the Flip more. Especially in the front screen department.
The crease where the phone folds really shows on the Samsung Galaxy flip 5 but it barely shows on the Motorola
It's very true! You can barely notice the crease.
I just want a smaller compact phone over the biggest got the s22 ultra last year big mistake it's way to big and heavy I'm getting the z flip 5 this month I'm actully really excited for a flip plus it will fit great in my small handbags. You can use goodlock for more apps on the flex window.
The battery life is not that great, but, in your video the phone was at 72% and later on was at 20% after 4,5h of usage (lot of camera shooting). So, it lasted 4,5h using 52% of its battery. So, if it was 100%, would last at least 7h, right? That is a good battery with 3700mAh. A normal usage would make more use of the external screen, so a assume that it would incrase the battery life.
these phones with smaller battery endurance could really use a magnetic battery attachment.
iPhone user here so yeah, call me biased and rage at my pov. But im still not fully sold on the folding phone market. Its cool tech but practically acheives nothing _more_
But thats just it, what i like about the new outside screen and the potential use i see, is that the flip 5 becomes a “less” phone.
Im not a power user by any means. i use a small handful of apps a day and only really use it to watch yt/listen to spotify. I actually prefer small phones due to easier one-handed use and smaller footprint. The outside cover now allows all of the uses I practically would have for 80% of my day, then on that last bit when im home i can open the phone and enjoy my content, but at home id have an ipad/laptop to do those things. So to me its really just a minimalist phone and that does make me interested in the product.
I still dont see this as the future because most ppl dont want smaller, pocketable phones, we just want big phones that last all day. Maybe the fold 5 and later have a better chance, but even then i dont think thats what most ppl want. But this is a fun middle step in tech before ar/vr takes over.
The Goodlock app makes sure ,All apps can be accessed on the front screen on the flip ! Flip has great customisation through the app. Hope Samsung will directly support all apps soon as promised #flip5 #SamsungUnpacked #samsungzflip5 #sams
i've recorded over 400 vlogs using iPhones and Galaxy Phones, this would be a game changer but the battery is worrisome
Which one better, Z Flip 5 or S23?
I think the issue is people want a s23 ultra that flips kinda phone. In reality we get something far less then a base S model phone.
you're the best one 😁
Thank you
Imagine this form factor on a google pixel........... 🔥🔥🔥
Do they have vegan/vegetarian restaurants in HK?
Watching Netflix on the front is not silly and actually makes very good sense. If you're on a plane let's say or in an airport where you can't charge your phone yet, you want to watch something. Utilizing the outside screen will use less battery than the inside screen. That's why they made it that way
I think the Flip 5 is 3.4" on the outside display.

7:48 - Could you eleborate what you doing, I still can't figure out EDIT: Nvm, I was thinking too much, you are basically recording from a superios camera while previewing urself
