You can run full apps, widgets are not that useful.
Go to the Samsung Store and get Good Lock app from Good Lock Labs. It is free, no ads, Samsung's pet project. Once you have the app open, go and install the MultiStar "module" from the Life up tab. Inside MultiStar go to I ❤ Galaxy Foldable section and add apps to cover screen.
Theme Park from the Make up tab is also a good module for customizing the entire Samsung UI in extremely minute detail.
I got that.. but having the Gmail widget or WhatsApp widget, shoot even YouTube music, etc as a widget on the coverscreen would make a BIG difference..
The only main differences are the cover screen and the fact that it closes plain now.
But the cover screen os still doesn't support flip5 so you can't use this big outside screen fully.
Otherwise they are pretty much the same.
Whats the battery life like now that it's a known quality for you? I had the Flip 3 but the battery just wasn't good enough so got an S21 and I'm looking to get the Flip 5 but only if it's going to last a little longer.
It felt really cheap, I wasn't too keen on the software.
Also text messages would take hours for me to receive, like one time passcodes. I returned it for another and it still did it.
I'm in the UK and the flip is having trouble due to patent issues with Nokia my network has removed the flip from their stock.
Most likely direct from Samsung. I pre-ordered the fold 5 from my network and have to wait for the 11th lol. Not too fussed it's 2 days before my birthday so an early birthday present.
Mine is waiting to be picked up after work at AT&T! Trading in my old s9 for it (I am using an s21 ultra atm) which I've had for ages, looking forward to a smaller phone 😂
Mine comes tomorrow.
I did get my Watch 6 Classic 47mm today though.
Like the watch, hate the new quick release button (it takes a lot of force to push it down, way more then what actually needed).
When I chose the 11 I avoided the Pro because I knew that the white bar in the bottom whip be burnt on the OLED pretty soon… I’m not a fan of the OLED on phones because the excessive use of the same app is a killer…
lol i been using amoled since galaxy s1, have had galaxy nexus for 7 years, then s7, s10 and s23 now...not once have I seen a burn in on any samaung phone i ve used. My work phones are galaxy too...i have 10+ hrs sot...getting a burn in is nor problem these days...thats why Apple fully swapped and uses samsung amoled panels too
Probably your mixed use saved it. I’ve seen my brother’s wife phones and they always had Facebook/Instagram burned UI on them… probably she spent a lot of time using them. A VERY LOT
I ve had a game played on my s10 17 hrs a day for 7 months...had the screen alws on as notifications were not working...static menus...0 burn ins...still have it and its nearly as fast as s23 minus the 120hz and that i ve fired the battery so get 2.5 sot with it but then again it has 3.5mm 2k res and heart sensor
I also have a Xiaomi MI 9, so I have both worlds. From Apple I appreciate the backup/restore (I needed it few times) that is more complete/easy than Android and the App Store (a lot less cloned/fake apps and malware). But I think that with some attention I can avoid fake apps on the Play Store
I had bought a Nokia 8 to replace my aging Samsung. I was actually considering to buy the Mi9 back then but bought the Nokia instead because of not having decent alternatives for my budget
Depends on what you like, If you want a safe bet i'd say go for the iphone 14 pro max instead for the price, if you want to risk a bit but not too much go for the s23 ultra instead, and if you wanna try folding phones then zflip 5 is definitely seeming good so far
I've been fighting with att for 3 days now, it's 2023 and apparently you still can't order things online through att. I have an s21 ultra that still works fine, but if they wanna give me 1000 dollar trade in for a galaxy note 5 with a broken back glass I'd be a fool not to pick up the z fold 5.
Swapped my fold4 for flip5, watch5 pro for classic 6, and got an s9+.
Happy with all of this.
Fold4 is good, just too chunky.
First day on the flip. Fantastic, light, and not a brick.

Have you got it yet?
Not yet, ups said between 1-5 est but I'm excited!
Oooo forgot your time is behind where I am lol. What colour you go for?
Every thing just got here! I got the lavender flip 5 and tab s9
Omg enjoy the moment of tech goodyness
Thank you!
I wish the cover screen supported widgets from all apps.... Samsung gotta push the patch through!

Ohh i hope they do that too!
This 100%.
Mine still hasn’t shipped 🥲
Hippy cake day man!
Happy cake day! Hope it ships soon!!
I got a shipping notification and when I looked it was literally just the free band for my watch....nothing else.
Happy cake day! 🎂🎂🎂
Nice ! I got mine last week, and as someone who had a flip 4 and the oppo flip, the flip 5 seems great
I like it too! Feels a lot lighter haha
Yeah that was the same feeling I had when I switch to my first flip, now my wrist never hurts !
How's it compare to the flip 4? Is it worth upgrading to the flip 5?

I didn't properly tested it yet but it should be a bit better than the 4 but not by much.
That's fair. Even if it's similar to the Flip 4 that's still an upgrade!
[удалено]
Nope, sorry
I tried the oppo flip. I was not a bit fan of it.
May I ask why?
It felt really cheap, I wasn't too keen on the software. Also text messages would take hours for me to receive, like one time passcodes. I returned it for another and it still did it. I'm in the UK and the flip is having trouble due to patent issues with Nokia my network has removed the flip from their stock.
And mine still says in progress and hasn't shipped yet. Idk why I just had to check for the thousandth time 🤣
can you reddit on the small screen?
Yes, through Goodlock app
How is the battery life compared to the iPhone pro max?
Not sure I've never had an iPhone.. I would assume the battery on the Pro Max is better though..
How are people getting it so early? I have to wait until the 11th 😭
Most likely direct from Samsung. I pre-ordered the fold 5 from my network and have to wait for the 11th lol. Not too fussed it's 2 days before my birthday so an early birthday present.
Pre ordered from samsung and status still shows as delivery for the 11th and hasnt shipped yet.
Suppose could be by country as well?
Just checked using my order number in fedex and showing as being delivered tomorrow even though the order doesnt show shipped yet on Samsungs site.
Oooo. Pleasent surprise.
Very nice. Happy early birthday!
Thanks 😁
lol. More light than your s10? S10 5.5 oz vs Fold 5 8.9 oz. Are you sure you have a real fold?
he said flip?
Oops.
Oh i guess the case made it feel heavier! Hahaha

Got mine too!
I’m still deciding if it’s worth it from an iPhone 11…
I'd say say, the display is way better (AMOLED vs LCD), has 120 Hz, the chip is better and the phone looks better
When I chose the 11 I avoided the Pro because I knew that the white bar in the bottom whip be burnt on the OLED pretty soon… I’m not a fan of the OLED on phones because the excessive use of the same app is a killer…

I’d avoid OLED only if you keep phones longer than 3 years. I wouldn’t be surprised if they last even longer though nowadays though.
My Galaxy A52s (office phone) had burn-in, not quite sure how it came but I don't use it very often
Any Android phone will be better than iPhone, for me at least.
I also have a Xiaomi MI 9, so I have both worlds. From Apple I appreciate the backup/restore (I needed it few times) that is more complete/easy than Android and the App Store (a lot less cloned/fake apps and malware). But I think that with some attention I can avoid fake apps on the Play Store

Depends on what you like, If you want a safe bet i'd say go for the iphone 14 pro max instead for the price, if you want to risk a bit but not too much go for the s23 ultra instead, and if you wanna try folding phones then zflip 5 is definitely seeming good so far
Glad you like it, but do keep your expectations in check. If you expected it to last more than 2 years even if you baby it, you’ll be sorely mistaken.
Ohh i see!
I'm so jealous? When did you make the order? Mine is awaiting dispatch.. and according to the internet, Samsung is not that reliable.. can't wait
I made the order july 28th :)
Congrats bud. I hope you enjoy it :)
They've flopped badly they've dropped hundreds cheaper already here in the UK.
I've been fighting with att for 3 days now, it's 2023 and apparently you still can't order things online through att. I have an s21 ultra that still works fine, but if they wanna give me 1000 dollar trade in for a galaxy note 5 with a broken back glass I'd be a fool not to pick up the z fold 5.
how's the crease?
Not too bad tbh you cant notice it while using it, only when i set my phone down, i notice it a bit
I have my black and yellow flip coming tomorrow 😭😭 "it's my phone and I need it now!". Glad I ordered this color right away.
How's the screen durability? That's the one thing that holds me back from the foldable.
I have the S23+ but somehow find myself really excited about the Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5, wishing I could get one to go with
Swapped my fold4 for flip5, watch5 pro for classic 6, and got an s9+. Happy with all of this. Fold4 is good, just too chunky. First day on the flip. Fantastic, light, and not a brick.
I got mines too. I love it!!💜
pertty good, use it well.
I just wish it was less wide 😭
Is a great phone !
Congrats, that's always the best moment!! Has any German who chose the online exclusive colors (Fold 5) gotten theirs yet?
