      @@SatanicBoomBoomHead It's not supposed to be catering towards all the parts of their customer base or audience, they're just trying to do something different in terms of the form factor that we usually get on a smartphone. It's different to see the display being folded, which with further R&D one day might lead to the same technology being integrated into various useful products with much less cons as compared to what they have now. So finally it comes down to the choice, if someone likes to have a folding phone as their daily driver or just for fun and is willing to spend the expensive rates that they come at then you've these options provided by a reputed company like Samsung, if not then you don't have to buy it and can go for the regular options they provide, either way it benefits the customer base because something is always better than nothing.
      I don't see myself using these foldable devices nor it being useful to my workflow but I am very much interested in the tech, work they're putting into it and what they're gonna do with it.

    So I bought this phone about a week ago. Absolutely great I haven't had any complaints it's been a bit of learning curve especially with the dip in the middle of the display. Otherwise great. But this morning I had it in my bed and it kind of bended just a bit. And when I picked it up I panicked because I'm not used to having a phone that can bend. So I thought that I broke it. before instantly remembering "oh yeah, it's supposed to do that." Been a long time since I've had a folding phone. Going to take a little bit to get used to having a folding phone again.

    I have this phone it's amazing the crease isn't as bad and is further up then you think so your finger doesn't go over it when scrolling the battery isn't as bad as people made it out to be the cover screen on the front is amazing for notification reads too which is nice so you don't feel like you're sucked into your phone when just checking the time or a message. I got it after my note 10 plus died and the faster 120 fps and 5g speed is amazing also the smaller more pocket able size while not losing any screen size is a huge benefit. The brightness on this phone is extreme 3/4 of the way up with the eye comfort shiled on otherwise your eyes will burn out lol.
    The camera quality is so good it converted the picture to a pdf file when I sent it in messenger because of how high the resolution is lol.
    All in all if you are tempted to buy it don't hesitate it's well worth it. Mine is in green and it's turning heads everywhere I go!

      Sold my Fold 2 a few months ago and went back to my S10 5G. I felt like the technology for the fold is not what it's all hyped to be. You're sacrificing a bad and narrow outside screen for the tablet. But sometimes I didn't want to open it up. I very much like this style better. It's more of a no nosense type of thing. That being said the battery on the Flip 3 is horrible. So it's a pass for me. I think it will be a couple of more years until we see things get good.

    I've gone to the Samsung store and played with the phone a little. I have to say, if it wasn't that expensive, I would be leaving with that phone in my pocket. It really feels nice, I don't even mind the crease in the middle. Yes you can feel it when sliding, but if you are looking at your phone directly, you don't see it, it's not a problem. Just playing with the phone for 5 minutes made me forget about any shortcomings.
    The only thing that held me back was the price.
    That said I think the phone can be improved on. Probably a dust resistant hinge for starters, more battery time and getting slimmer and smaller screen. When opened the screen is too long, the aspect ratio is unnatural. I guess because all the apps are not meant for that resolution.
    Still, it's a very usable phone today. The only thing stopping me is the high price. If you are rich (unlike me) and like fancy toys (like me), I urge to check this phone at a Samsung store. I think you'll like it.

    • @thevegastan

      @quanganhvu6791 Před 2 lety +17

      I don't know if I'm in a minority but I always considered the operating word to be when it's unfolded. What I mean by that is that when unfolded, the Flip is like a normal phone. So this is a phone that you can fold up. Hence, folding phone. :)
      The Fold on the other hand, when unfolded looks like a tablet or at the very least, a phablet. So I always felt that a foldable tablet would be a more fitting description of the Fold rather than a folding phone.

      I'm pretty sure Apple considers just about everything Samsung considers, they just have zero desire to be first. Folding screens haven't exactly been some secret, just like wireless charging wasn't for the years it took Apple before they pulled the trigger. They'd much rather milk sales out of what they have rather than fight for the cutting edge - it's a safer bet for their ever-growing profits. And it'll likely especially take them a while with this because doing it just to say they did could easily lead to a really clunky iOS experience that would just damage their brand.

    I just watched this on my new Z Flip 3! I'm glad you mentioned the top of the screen protector. Mine looks the same way and it annoyed me that I can see the line across the top, like they placed it a mm too low. I thought it was on wrong, but I guess it's meant to be that way. I personally don't mind the crease at all, but the ridges on the edge where it folds kind of bother me, I keep finding myself rubbing it with my thumb like a weirdo lol. I also was a little disappointed in the camera coming from my pixel 3, but that was expected. All things considered I love this phone and I hope they keep improving on it.

    The part about the phone was awesome, as MKBHD videos are. But I would like to bring attention to the sponsored part as well. That was really good. As far as sponsoring goes, it was 10/10. Felt informative and sincere. Kudos! It was a product I didn’t know about and made me feel like getting to know it. Well played, sir, very well played.

      What? Those are two different things. You cannot hide the crease, like it is impossible to hide it. It may, however, be possible to remove it, as in it never happens, but it is kinda hard at the moment. They are probably trying though.

      The Razr has a screen that kind of stretches when opened to flatten the crease. It's not perfect but I think it helps a lot. Maybe a solution to consider?
