Who's Getting Flip 5 ?

Haha yes Graphite is the black color for Samsung...
Here's my Gray

Must be something wrong with my PC, your pictures look like the Mint Green Flip5. I have the Graphite and it does look like a very DARK GRAY (close enough to call it BLACK). My wife has the Lavender and it looks good as well.

If you're looking at my pics ..mine is the gray color ..one of the pics with the lighting looks greenish..I was replying to previous post about there being a black called Graphite

Went to T-Mobile today and played with one and I decided not to get one the screen doesn't seem to be able to last IMHO?!

I've had the flip 3, flip 4, and now the flip 5. The flip 3 had battery issues, the flip 4 was a nice phone and the flip 5 so far is really nice but too new to know anything about longevity. I NEVER had issues on the flip 3 or 4 with the screens. Never had peeling tearing or cracking. In my experience having owned and used three flip phones the screens had no problems.

Yes no issues here but then again I don't keep my phone for that long of the time.. but maybe just maybe one time try to run with a foldable phone for a long period of time maybe a few years even though it's against everything that I know.. lol

I had my flip 3 for two years. Used it every day. The only screen problem I had was the screen protector cracking at the fold. Took it to you break it we fix it (I think that's the name) and got it replaced. Looked and acted like brand new.

That's a really good sign... I'm definitely not worried about the durability... Great to hear some good experiences with it though....

I recommend the Spigen SP and easy install

Grey is fine when you want grey, but when I buy black I want full on "murdered out" priest black!

Lock screen is solid with this extra size ..I've tested a few apps and not too bad for on the go usage ..


I have one of my cover Gifs rocking

What kind of battery issues did your Flip 3 have? Just curious since I have one

I'm going to run my 3 through the end of software support.. if it makes it that long lol.

How do you find the battery on it? I got rid of mine pretty quickly as the battery was crappy for me..

Actually I expected it to borderline usable from everything I've heard, I figured I'd be having battery anxiety continuously, but I have the battery protection feature on which only charges to 85% and I still make it through the day no problem.

But to be honest my screen on time is pretty minimal, I mostly just make calls on it

That's good thinking you going to make it till next year and beyond ..you can be our tester on durability

I'll take one for the team I know the rest of you guys can't hang on to phones too long

I do normally keep my phones for 3 years or so, but I'm not sure the Flip battery will make it the whole 5 years of security updates. I do switch between it and my Pixel though... maybe that'll help?

I forgot to mention I'm curious if the screen will go that long.... that will be an interesting test

There weren't "issues" (my bad choice of word) but the battery life was awful on that phone requiring topping off at least once a day and sometimes more.
