Let’s make this quick: My one word review of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is “Fun”.

This is a fun phone, designed to exude style and personality. While Samsung has pushed the productivity aspects of the Galaxy Z Fold 5, it has rightly made the Flip 5 all about its user. 

From the colour selection to the case designs, this is a phone that will tell people who you are.

And with its larger external display, you can suddenly do many simple tasks without needing to open up the phone. You can check messages and reply to them conveniently, without having to open up your phone. 

Unfortunately, there are a few sacrifices on the battery life and camera front that means choosing the Fold 5 is a decision of style over substance.

But what style!
