so this no so this is the brand new Samsung Galaxy Z flip 5. and in my previous video when I reviewed it someone asked me to compare it to the Galaxy s23 one person no more than one and I thought this was a good idea because these phones are different in a lot of ways one's cheaper one's more expensive and I think it's a very good life lesson because you're spending more to get less in a lot of ways whereas this s23 is less than 900 for the 256 gigabyte model and it gives you more now the idea of the flip is take a big screen flip it down into a compact size so that it's easier to carry in your pocket and they've achieved that it's it's a great form factor especially now with the hinge being perfectly flat in fact I have another z-flip 5 here this is what the Black Version looks like to this Green version in case you were curious on what color to get but it's a heavier phone you know like we're talking about 180-ish grams compared to 160. and when I look at this phone I never once felt that this was heavy like none of these phones are super heavy but when you're holding both of them in your hand you can feel the weight difference between these two devices like the s23 does feel much lighter and the idea of the flip is to have this cover screen to basically cover yourself in certain situations quickly check notifications quickly send off a text message the idea of flipping it open and taking a selfie of yourself using the rear camera much nicer than like using the front camera on a typical candy bar phone and it has its benefits but you don't need a cover screen on a phone this small like your main display is always your cover screen right and because it's so small it just works as well now the idea of having a flip phone is they can't really put a in-display fingerprint sensor on that and I'm totally okay with this you know like this physical button on the right hand side so much better than an in-display fingerprint scan scanner like don't get me wrong like the one on the Galaxy s23 it's fast enough it's in a good position I don't have any major complaints but having a physical one just works so much better now here's the interesting thing the displays on both of these devices share some similarities they're obviously OLED they're AMOLED they get really really bright in fact they share the exact same Peak brightness of 1750 units but if you have both of these phones directly in front of you this one looks better okay and the reason being is if you have a proper panel of Glass on it and it just have you ever looked at a laptop where you had a matte display and a regular glass panel that glass panel always looks more contrasty right like the colors just look more vibrant and that's the same sort of idea here not that the flip 5 is a matte display but because they have a screen protector over it and it's not like a hundred percent glass you can tell that the colors just look a little bit better on the s23 now when both phones are open there are obviously you know very easy to hold they're not super wide or anything but obviously the s23 is a lot more one-handable the display is not that tall so you don't have to travel too far up with your thumb if you want to reach the notification menu or respond to a text message not that this is long too like I could do do it with my long fingers but it's obviously more comfortable over here both phones have stereo speakers but I did find the flip 5 to get a tiny bit louder like maybe like 1.
5 decibels louder but overall they're fairly similar [Music] thank you the webcams are a bit different like we're talking about a 12 megapixel webcam on the s23 compared to 10 megapixels on the Z flip 5 and I did notice a difference taking a selfie with the s23 did produce more pleasing results the images were a bit more vibrant and a tiny bit more sharper alright so right now you're looking at the front-facing cameras of the Galaxy s23 and the Galaxy Z5 you guys let me know which one looks better and obviously which one has the better microphone now the downfall to buying a flip flip for his longevity right like you're buying a device that has more moving Parts there's a hinge it's not dust resistant it's only ipx8 it's water resistant but it's not rated for dust whereas the s23 you get both like if you're holding on to these phones for four to five years I'd put my money on the s23 lasting longer but they have the same Snapdragon a Gen 2 made for Galaxy which is basically an overclocked version of it and they both perform very well like I didn't find a difference in terms of overall performance between either devices they're both very smooth but the software experience is a tiny bit different and that's because you could actually use Samsung Dex with the Galaxy s23 whereas you can't on the Z flip 5. it's basically the only phone in the entire s lineup that doesn't support decks so if being able to connect your phone to let's say a monitor to have a full desktop experience is important to you then the s23 is obviously the choice to go for now battery life is interesting because they do share some similarities same wire charging speed same Wireless less charging speed and same reverse wireless charging speed the difference comes down to battery capacity 3 900 milliamp hours on the s23 compared to 3700 now as I said in my flip 5 review the efficiencies made by this new Snapdragon processor is much better like I can easily get through the entire day and not feel like I have battery anxiety like I did with the Z flip 4. but I do get slightly better battery life with the s23 like if I was staying up late and I was going to a party the s23 is more likely to get me through it compared to the z-flip 5.
