Posting from a Flip 5 that I've had for almost 3 years now. This is by far the best smartphone I've ever had. It fits in both pockets and bags much better. I drop it way less than I did all other phones I've owned because it's so much more natural to hold. And it's sturdy, apart from a few slightly dented corners it still looks like new.
The only hardware downside is that the screen protector is basically a consumable and needs to be replaced every 1.5 years or so (which is cheap and can be done while you wait in my city). And the biggest software downside is that custom ROMs just straight up don't exist for flip phones (of any brand it seems). I would love to run Graphene or Lineage on one.
The next fold is going to be much smaller in the base model. Wider, but much shorter than the current fold models. I guess that will replace the flip line.
I have a Flip 5 too, which I bought secondhand. I use it as a work phone now, but it's holding up fine and has been really great overall. The screen protector was already removed when I purchased it, so I just reapply them myself.
