    In case you were wondering:

    And the theme that I have on the Z Flip 4 is called "I like sunflowers" made by THENEW

    I got the Z Flip 4 after having an S21 and honestly love it. If you only use your phone for basic stuff and want something minimal it's really great.

      I'll be trading in my S21 as soon as my bespoke Flip 4 arrives. I don't know if I'll like the big difference in form factor, but I hope to love it.

      @@milanico2309 You are right technically. However, I sincerely doubt that samsung puts the phones they give us hundreds of dollars for in the garbage. They likely sell them for a fair bit less, allowing lower income people to get a good phone. Worst case scenario, they would recycle the phone responsibly, or use its parts to repair multiple other devices. I'm terms of my finances, they gave me more for my phone than I can get for it on the local used market, that was one of my reasons for doing this. With some discounts and included other devices, I can make the phone's cash cost to me low enough to where if I don't like it, I can resell it locally and have enough to buy my old phone and break even.

    As a brand-new Fold 4 owner, I'm really happy that the Flip 4 is also a great phone. I was never really sure of the benefit of foldables in the past, but my Fold 4 has proven without a doubt that they are the future and are ready for public consumption. I do really like the idea of the rear camera display, it doesn't seem gimmicky at all, it looks really useful 🙂

    I don't know what y'all want from a camera phone but the camera performance of the Z flip 4 is good and portrait photos specifically is significantly better than the iPhone 13 pro even without a telephoto or lidar hardware because of Samsung's new AI stereo depth mapping technology. From the camera sample comparison, it should be enough for any regular user though Z flip series *isn't* a camera centric series in Samsung's line up.

Found the camera was great, really crisp and clear. I'd had a Pixel 4XL before it and thought the general quality of the images was much nicer on the S21. I'm not a huge photography person, but it did me well for holiday snaps, a couple of sunsets and lowlight was decent enough too. Worked really well for your average everyday user, I'd venture!

  • @drawingguy2003
    @drawingguy2003 Před rokem +89

    So I’ve been using the Flip 3 since it came out, and have come to some basic conclusions regarding the form factor. As the Flip 4 is a tiny iteration of it mainly just being a hardware upgrade, this will translate directly.
    The main advantages of the Flip form factor:
    - Super compact. Can fit in shirt pockets, back pockets, smaller pockets, whatever. Also doesn’t fall out of pockets as easily. The convenience of the size is a pretty big deal if you need it.
    - IMO the half folded state is a gimmick for pretty much everything but two things: Video calls and hands free video/photos. Being able to do this on the fly anywhere without needing a stand is where this form factor makes practical sense.
    - Needing to unfold your phone is a barrier of entry. That can be seen as a pro or a con. I see it as a pro as that “annoyance” can be used as a tool to help curb bad habits of checking your screen every 30 seconds.
    - The display on the back is great for selfies with the main camera. Though a feature like this isn’t reliant on folding.
    Main cons:
    - The crease. You do get used to it and it isn’t really noticeable except in certain lighting, but it certainly is a con.
    - The soft screen. I’m one that has went without screen protectors for years as it just didn’t make sense to me to cover tough scratch resistant glass with easily scratched plastic. Never had an issue with scratched screens. However foldable have a long way to catch up on scratch resistance, so I’ve used one on my flip. Unfortunately when you’re folding and unfolding a sticker hundreds of times, it’s easy for it to become unstuck. My screen protector started peeling from the screen at the fold after less than a year and this is a common problem. Expect to need to replace the screen protector.
    - Less children friendly. I’m not worried about letting a niece or nephew play a game on a bar phone as they’re unlikely to scratch it and it’s easily cleaned. However with this phone gunk from sticky fingers getting up in the hinge and the easily scratched screen is a different story…
    TL;DR - The downsides of this phone are serious enough that you shouldn’t get it as a gimmick. However if you need the form factor, then its the best option out there. For my use the advantages of the form factor outweigh the disadvantages, though I’m hoping to see those disadvantages go away with each iteration.

I too, am considering on getting the z flip for the form factor bc I normally like to keep my phone in my pocket at all times but the current sizes of phones today are not cutting it (they either stick out and hit my pelvis or fall out).

    Brilliant video very comprehensive and very detailed. The best review I have seen on this mobile. I do miss my S22 + camera and this phone is a trade off between that and the functionality of the Flip 4. My S22 + had about 4 deep scratches that I have not had with previous Samsung mobiles. I hope with this closing over this won't be an issue.

    I really like smaller phones, this is my first ever "big" phone, but I love its small width and folder form factor. I also got it on a steal from T-Mobile, traded in my 3 year old S10e for a $500 value off the Z Flip 4.
    I'm super minimal and I don't use my phone often, so I really enjoy not needing to open the phone all the time to get most of my things done, the fold is like a barrier to entry to using the phone which is a great plus funnily enough.

    Maybe I'll consider the next gen version depending on durability and battery life.

    Excellent Flip phone comparisons with other flagship phones. I agree that the phone is cute in that I can see myself playing around with a pocket size flip phone in the future. So, I like the screen in the front cover of the phone, kind of reminds me of a smart watch widchet right in front of the phone, but I would not mind having the whole squared sized screen in the phone cover of the phone, instead of just the smart watch App. Evenfurther, I liked the Flex mode, but I would connect a USB C keyboard and a pointing device when using in the phone in flex mode, to kind of used like a mini, micro laptop, if that makes any sense. Finally, the Flip phone just reminds me of a mini sized cell phone, but strectched a little longer, having said that, one can only do so much with a small amount of space, but once again so good compressions and glad to see that such micro phone even when Flipped is keeping up with regular sized flagship phones. I'm sold, thankx for the review! 😺👌🥰📱👩‍💻⭐💎

    I’d be really interested to see how the hinge part of the screen works after a year or two of use. I’m the kind of person who had my iPhone 5 from its release up until about a year ago, so durability is very important to me. If the fold series could ever be that level of durable I might consider it. Planned obsolescence makes my blood boil

I had to change the screen protector once because a crease was formed. Now, I can see the crease is slowly appearing again. Small bubbles are starting to form at the side of the hinge. I often drop my phone too (my mistake) so I can say it is definitely NOT durable. When it's closed, i can see scratches and cracks on the hinge area. I don't use my phone often, mostly for work purposes. I don't play games at all so I dont necessary need all the cool features. Mainly bought it for its size and how compact it is

    Be careful if you open it by 'jamming' your finger between the cracks - it greatly increases the risk of damaging the screen. If you practice flicking your wrist after the hinge isn't factory-fresh stiff you can generally open it fairly easily that way (at least on the 3).
    The 3's screen protector adhesion wore off along the crease after about 6 months for me, and I've heard the same from others. It will start at the edge of the crease, so keep an eye open for that! It should last longer with the 4, since I heard they used a better adhesive for it. :)

    I don’t know where you got your iPhone Pro, but here it’s still a couple of hundred expensive than the Flip 4. I think you should include also the trade in program they have for this launch.
    I bought mine because iOS is increasingly limiting what I need over my iPhone 13. And as person who doesn’t game or check social media every now and then, the simple glance on Flip 4’s outer screen would be enough for me.
    Also I think that the folding mechanism here is not even novelty since it allows you to reach the top area of the screen by folding it. The convenience is there already.
