Hi!

My S20+ has a broken (and unusable) screen, so I decided to change phones. I found the z Flip 5 and the s23+ for the same price on a black friday sale, and I don’t know which one to choose.

The s23+ has better cameras, but the z flip seems fun and something new. And I simply don’t know which one to pick, so I need some opinions to help me decide. Which one would you go for, considering they cost the same? Why?

    There’s one Flip feature considered a gimmick but good for the right person: making a video then seeing yourself at the same time while you vlog away.

    S23+. Flips are fashion pieces not phones. I say this as someone who had a Z Flip 4 and currently have a Z Fold 5. The folds have function. Flips don’t

    S23+ 100%

    My friend recently sold their Flip because they were fed up of having to open it every time they wanted to use it… Guess the gimmick wares off 😂😂

    Flip5 and S23+ where the same price where I bought the S23+. Didn’t buy the Flip5 because it has no DEX.

    The Flip5 is like the perfect form factor for DEX. And yet for some reason it’s the only Z or S line Samsung missing DEX. Confusing 🤷‍♂️

    The Flip5 will probably be less durable then the S23+ aswell. Battery life I could probably live with.

    S23 100%. I love the Flip and I was tempted so many times but I just don’t trust Flip/Fold for the longevity

    If you are just your regular phone user everyday, then the 23 is nice enough. I think it depends on what you like to do. I will say YouTube and watching things is nice on the Z and it is something different for sure. Pretty handy for what it is. I will have to say that one. I think you could like it.
    Also the speaker is pretty nice on them. I will say the only thing I have heard off and on about it is the battery life. I think it still gets a average day out of it.
    I have a family member who got one of the Z folds and he loves it.

    I’d go for the 23. I feel like the flip is just a gimmick and from an engineering perspective just another point of error aka an extra thing to potentially break on the phone.

    S23 plus. I have the flip 5 and I really miss the telephoto lens. Also, trying to find a good case for the flip is very annoying because it’s 2 parts.
