The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get the 256 GB Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 on Verizon?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“The large cover screen still handles widgets and messages better than any other clamshell at this size.”
“No 5G for $999 in 2026 - the only flip this phone pulls off is turning a premium price into buyer's remorse.”
