Just received my Flip 5! It's not even marked as shipped on the site. Hinge opens/closes much easier.

Nice! Is that the darker green color? I ordered the Mint. Samsung is saying depends on your color choice if you are getting it sooner. They have no clue why the order screens are still showing in process and folks actually have it in their hands already.

I just got a text from FedEx saying mine is supposed to be delivered today by 8:30pm
 
Received the phone yesterday but didn't open it because my plan was to sell it. We s2itched to iPhones at the beginning of January but the trade in made the deal too good not to buy it and then turn around and sell it and make a few hundred bucks.

Had a talk with my wife this morning and we decided to come back to Samsung. We will be selling our iphone 14 pro Max's (hers and mine) and our two Watch 8 Ultras.

I ordered her an S23 + This morning.

When I opened the flip 5 this morning I loved the size and feel and ease of carrying in a shirt pocket.

Not knocking Apple and the iPhones are really quality devices but we've been Samsung phone people for at least twelve years and that's our comfort level.

One last thought, Samsung still has the WORST customer support in the world but we do love the phones.

I got a text from Samsung saying my ZF5 has shipped and will arrive tomorrow ! This was about 10 hours after it was already delivered .
 
Its all messed up! For week FedEx said my phone would be delivered on Aug. 8. Today I get another emailing saying it would be Aug 9. ???? It has been sitting local for two days now? What gives?
 
Got mine today also! Been spending the afternoon and early evening setting it up. I think I've got everything now. I'm loving it!

Samsung was not very sharp with their order status matching reality.
It wasn't just Samsung. FedEx was comical. They estimated delivery to be between 10 & 2. It never went to "Out for delivery. Finally, at 1:50, I got an email saying it was finally out for delivery. 3 minutes later, it was delivered.

Nice to see more and more folks getting theirs early. Seems mine always arrived on the release date.
 
I've had my flip 5 in mint green nearly a week now. Love the front screen, love the look of it with no gap, however I feel like it's harder to open with no gap now lol! The crease never bothered me on the flip 4 but it does seem less on the flip 5. I've got a few cases from ebay but I think I will invest in the Samsung case that has that extra ability do an animated cover screen. Battery life is meh but I'm playing a lot and I've been home with it more. The switch over was seamless, it just seemed to see my old flip 4 and took all my stuff off it. I've claimed the free buds (another spare set lol) and got my 12 month Disney + free subscription. I think the phone is perfect. The camera is better. The 2 pics of the plant on zoom x10 from the same position one is flip 5 and one is flip 4. Enjoy your phones when you get them. I can't see me ever going back to a brick slab phone.

Samsung does have the worst CS but they make great devices.
