The new Honor Magic V2 weighs less than an iPhone pro max it's nearly as thin as a slab phone, it has a larger battery (5000 mAh) than Samsung's or Google's foldables and it comes with a stylus. How is that not exciting? What exactly did you want?
I pre-ordered the fold 5 only cause my note 10plus is on its last leg, but if it definitely could have lasted another year I would have waited til the note 6 with hopes it would then include a larger outer display, s-pen slot, and expandable memory. Those are what made me buy the Note 7, note 8, and note 10. Did they drop the ball? Yes. They used to be the top phone maker in my opinion but then they started removing more and more "goodies" cause apparently iPhones don't have them. Well we're samsung fans mostly because we like to do things iphones cant. And every year samsung is edging closer and closer to making an iPhone on Android. And eventually we'll have no reason to stay with android & samsung.
They are a bit of a disappointment, mainly for the fact that if shelling out $1000 or more for a device, it should come with that manufacturers best of the best camera system, not their "flagship" camera system form 2-3 years ago.
Fold 5 - a bit disappointed there is no S Pen housing and that it's still tall and narrow. Maybe the 6 will offer passport form factor.
Flip 5 - I'm happy with the new cover screen and am buying it. (Trading in my S23 Ultra, trade-in credit is more than I paid for the device. Had the Flip 4, but traded it for the S 23 Ultra, loved the "carryability" but hated the cover screen.)
S-pen aside, you're losing better camera, getting less ram (if you have the 512Gb version w/12Gb RAM), and better screen real estate for content consumption.
What do you gain from the flip other than a phone you can bend in half only to protect a weaker, more delicate screen?

Yes, Sammy could have integrated the all app function into the settings instead of using GooLock (or third party Coverscreen OS) but - since I use Sammy's watch and tablet, I'm okay with that situation. If I'm disappointed again with the Flip, I'll get either the 24 Ultra or the Fold 6 - if it adopts the passport form factor.

No way! Don't make that downgrade trade!

Nah, don't do it!
