I have this phone and I love it! I don’t really notice the crease. The phone isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely a good phone and a huge step forward in technology.
Absolutely
How do you manage with battery? How much on screen time is realistic with 120hz?
Shit is garbage , I had the original flip and I got absolutley tired of flipping the damn thing every time I wanna use the phone, plus the small square is weird in the pocket
@@flonkas you literally pointed out the 2 purposes of this phone lol. Why get in the first place if those 2 things bother you:D
@@TECHNIKMM the battery last for the whole day and I charge it once a day with 5.5hrs sot and 17-24hrs including standby time. The highest sot I clocked was close to 7hrs but that's far and few in between. I use bixby routine to put my phone on power saving mode if it's unused and put unused apps in deep sleep.
"You'll use your phone less." Honestly, that sounds like a good reason for me to buy it.
😭😭😭
You can convince ur parents to buy it for u with just that sentence
Exactly why I bought it and couldn't be happier with precisely that.
😂 Yeah a clever way to market a design flaw. It’s not a design flaw it’s a feature
Nice lie
I love the idea of being able to turn a smartphone into something smaller when not in use. But this is just the beginning. In 20 years, we'll look back at this video and laugh... hard!
Hope so!
I'm ready for the cell phone from the show expanse. even tho its still a brick
You really think we're gonna have enough resources for phones in 20 years?
@@majjjjjjjjj yeah, the current state of the world
@@sethman1591 two cans and alot of string. god bless capitalism.
Had mine for 3 days ,love it there's a app that let's you add all your phone widgets to the outer screen. Battery lasts me all day easily, but I'm not what they call a heavy user.
What's the app???
the app name pls
Samsprung
I've been wanting this phone and allow people keep complaining about the battery but considering I use my phone on average around 3 to 4 maybe 5 hours at most a day is really great for me I just wanna wait it out a bit to see if I can get the one samsunge has said to be releasing with custom colors
How's it running now? After a few months I mean?
Having grown up using flip phones, touch screen flip phones are such a cool idea to me. Modern and elegant yet nostalgic at the same time! There’s just something satisfying about snapping that phone shut, especially if you’re feeling sassy. 😌😂 I liked your point about how it keeps you from getting sucked into your phone every time you look at it. So many times I’ve gone to check the time and ended up scrolling for 45 minutes lol.
Right? The nostalgia factor just might sell me on this. My first phone was a Samsung A930, an old school flip with a music player built into the cover. The fact that the Z Flip has a music player widget for the cover screen sends me WAY back lol
I loved snapping that phone shut to hang up on some whiny douche who just won’t shut up.
I bought my phone since it came out, so I've been using it for quite some time now, as a girl I really love the fold because it never slips from my pockets as my previous phones would, and I love that it protects my screen from external damage and falls, the only reason I've bought different phones is because they fall from my pockets and screen breaks so in this phone are my two main solutions from my previous problems over the past years, I love supporting new inventions like these that are actually worth it, this will definitely save me a lot of money. Won't have to carry a bag unless necessary and will keep me from buying many phones. Ps. At this point I don't even notice the dent and also I don't have to stand my phone on random stuff when I go hands free.
I also love how futuristic it makes me feel, everyone else has their normal phones and then there's mine that is a smart flip, such an eye catcher always fine people glancing at my phone or have people asking me about my phone in a amaze manner.
yes!!! not being able to fit your phone into pants is annoying
just finished decorating mine and omg it looks so futuristic and aesthetic. I love tis sm (brought a purple one) it's really portable and fits in my jeans which is like wow, as a girl.
I'm a girl with an iPhone 13 mini (previously I had an iPhone 6S) and it's small enough for the pockets too. I got that one because I hate big phones anyway.
how is the camera? Especially the front? I'm starting to get interested about this phone, it can be accessorized to be so cute but i'm a selfie girl and i have to have a good front camera XD.
I've been with the phone for 2 weeks and love it. There sure is a downside with the battery, but nothing you can't overcome or get used to if you've owned an iPhone
Can you tell me something about the camera??hows the camera??:(
@@nosanajiminnolife6125 the camera is amazing!! before i got mine i went to best buy and held it in my hands for the first time, you should check it out in an irl store !
Some people are saying it's not good to use flip phone is that true? They say it's easily get destroy
@@akshara7063 six months with it and love it! Have dropped it, soaked it and it's as good as new. Just make sure to fit an original case. Everything else is nothig but drama
@@marfv000 thanks for the feedback. 😊🌸
I have this phone currently, and I always wonder why people dont like that they can sometimes see and feel the crease...
But I love the crease! It's one of the reasons why I'm in love with this phone and when my finger goes over the crease I like the feeling, its so different its perfect :0
Good review. I’ve watched a ton and all seem to show it completely clean. Yours shows it with normal wear so thanks for that!
On the topic of the having to flip to use it (if you don't just keep it open all the time) I prefer it because now there is a physical action that must be taken to use the phone and after checking the small screen you can ask, is this notification *really* worth taking the effort to open my phone? No? Cool, back to what I was doing.
I've been experimenting with this phone since I've got it and I do agree with most your comments. The most concerning part is that the cover is very slippery. I'm awaiting a silicone cover for it. Yes you can see and feel the glass crease but after awhile you'll get used to it. I like that it folds for easy placement in pockets. The outer cover is okay for short and simple messages and reminders. I will keep using my GN20Ultra mostly for now. To save battery you can have the option of blanking the outer lid of information and will turn on when double tapped. Decreasing the refresh rate of the screen and battery saver mode will increase battery life. Thanks for the insightful review.
I never got used to the crease. It drove me crazy.
I can't wait to buy this lovely phone, probably next year. It's good to know what will change from my actual phone (I have the iPhone 12 pro max) but it won't change my mind, Btw.. it's always so funny to me to hear EVERY youtubers say that there's a crease, you see and feel it. Yeah... that's the whole point of the phone ??? If you want to have a foldable phone without the crease, it's... impossible. It'll maybe be possible in 10 years idk but right now it isn't the case, stop pointing that out, it's so useless to me 😭 you don't need to be a genius to know that ! Otherwise, your review was pretty useful and I heard some people say that you can ameliorate the battery of the phone by changing some settings (for example activating the dark mode and put your screen speed to 60hz).
You're going to enjoy using this phone and watch people's head as they turn to take a glance of your phone.
@@quchi7232 especially with the fold 3, people will stare because it's so crazy
Yeah is that what i found, and a few youtubers said that they are used to the crease, i want really this phone because i love the designe and all. so i hope that i will get it soon inshallah and every person have his opinion he wanted to tell us what he got when he used the phone and i hope that i dindn't bless you whit this comment 💓
I want this phone too but I really don’t know much about Samsung because my family in my house all have apple and me so idk but I really want this phone
As a girl, bitch imagine dramatically answering and hanging up the phone smh 😭💅😂
“I generally love this stupid foldy thing” That should be Samsung’s tagline
Absolutely 😂
couldn’t you realistically leave it un folded when its not in your pocket and only fold it when you leave to go somewhere? That would probably save the screen over long term.
I own this phone. I do exactly what you suggested.
Well yes you could do that but the screen is more at risk of damage since it's so delicate
That basically defeats the purpose of the phone. Your better of buying a traditional phone...
@@PilotMan.04 Doesn’t defeat its purpose as the smaller size is to take up less space in your pocket, thats the main benefit of this phone. leaving it open at home would cause less stress on the fold of the screen, which has proven to be a problem with most folding phones. Something can only fold so many times before it breaks. Doing this could help maintain the screens health for a longer time. At home phones are usually out of pockets anyway.
@@TonySkafidas I guess
That’s what I have beeb looking for about this phone! Thanks a lot for this genuine review. Everyone was just taking about the good stuff! I wanted to see what cost they come with. I can definitely be alright with those quirks!
I really appreciate your perspectives on this. While this phone does look really cool, it has a pretty high price tag. Your review really helped me reconsider my decision.
I have been using this phone for 10 months, and it's the greatest thing ever.
so 6 months in and I have to send mine back because the "protection screen" has split😮.. Samsung have been awful at accepting this as a flaw saying user issue😮 wtf what else are you supposed to do with a phone.. 12.50 a time to get the screen protector changed. they don't show this on ANY OF THEIR ADVERTS . they only say the "screen " has a 20000 fold life span nothing about the screen protector which they tell you NOT TO REMOVE when you buy it.. upset and angry but live the phone so gonna stick with the 12.50 replacement protector
Voda refused to cover under warranty due to dents on LCD screen so have said user misuse. How can there be dents on the LCD screen but nothing on the screen protector?? Currently in email war with them
The phone is fine I've had mine for a month...if you gett easily annoyed like this guy then don't buy this phone...
As someone who wants to use my phone less, your last point is perfect. Less battery and less usage is perfect. I use my phone way too much anyhow, so this is perfect.
Had this phone for couple days...love it so far..not going back to the regular phones..it's small ,light weight..who cares about the crease..if it's a problem for you don't buy it..otherwise don't buy it..not an heavy user..otherwise it's a good phone..
I got it 2 days ago and I love it. I like the flip aspect a lot.
I'm not someone who does everything on my phone and I'm not attached to it, so it's perfectly fine for me. I don't take many photo's, so the camera is fine.
The crease is definitely something to get used to. I'm getting there for that!
Best phone I've ever had, its a superb bit of tech. And there's LOADS of ways of saving on the battery to make it last easily into the next day. Rule 1 - turn off 5G, otherwise its constantly searching for it - that leaks your battery like shit. Rule 2 - sift through your apps and switch off anything you don't need to always be updating in the background. Most apps will update as soon as you access them, so its pointless having them still running in the background.
Also, switching from 120mhz to 60mhz is worth considering. If you're gaming then it'll have an impact on the screen refresh rate, but if you're like me just doing general scrolling and reading then the difference is negligible, but will help your battery out a lot.
Also - Dark Mode on Twitter and FB is your friend.
I've done some heavy usage and just those 3 things make ALL the difference. But if you just leave your Flip3 to factory settings then yeah, your battery is gonna be creamed by 4pm.
Good tips David!
Would you recommend though
@@kdramaholic1735 absolutely. I'll be getting the Flip5 once my contract is up on this one. I love it.
I was always drawn to getting this phone since women's pockets are so damn small. I currently have the Samsung Galaxy Note ultra 20 and find it extremely bulky in the front pocket and is constantly falling out from the back pocket when I sit down and also sticking out like a sore thumb. I think this is just perfect!
Ooh true I should have thought about pocket sizes! Glad it's working for you :)
Omg yes note 20 ultra gang! But Def wait for the next gen flip since the battery is not that good tbh.
@@tamimaislam1591 that's a shame! I was actually already waiting for this one since the flip 2 came out lol
@@tish4721 ngl I was going to buy it but since I use my phone a lot I just upgraded from my ipad to tab s7....I guess I got too used to the note 20 ultra display as well...I went to see the flip in real life and got a little bit disappointed its basically the s21 that flips....for me I think I will wait for the next gen...I mean I got my phone December last year lol
@@tamimaislam1591 i caved.. I ended up buying it lol 😆 yes the first few days had terrible battery as it was working hard to transfer everything over from my old phone and learn my usage but now I can get the same amount of battery life as my note20 ultra
I think that's the perfect phone for me I work on construction and sometimes it's very hard to have a big candy bar phone in your pocket while you are claiming a ladder fits perfect in the pocket
Yeah totally. Do you have a case for it?
I absolutely love this phone, my battery doesn't go like my Motorola Z Flip. That phone takes so long to charge and the battery goes so fast. I love my Flip 3. Couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I can use it the whole day without charging mine till the end of the day and I am always on my phone doing everything from streaming to phone calls.Also you had mentioned that opening your phone will get old but for me I never thought about it and it's never been an issue. Actually my issue is that I don't use the front of the phone like I should.
What's your screen on time you average?
I think it's a good tech but I'm looking forward more on its next generation and expecting much more improvement
Nice points! I've been really wanting to get this phone and I need reviews like this.
Still looking forward to get this anyways 😍
idk so far, i've been really liking this phone and how it looks. the cover screen thing...that's kinda the case for iphones too. you can't really do certain stuff without unlocking the phone first. i'm thinking about getting this the minute i can afford to or there is a sale for it
I really really really want this phone for Christmas,this is pretty much the only thing I want for Christmas it looks cool and I think I would love it
Dude I love feeling the crease and this phone is amazing
If I ever buy this, I would probably use it more as an outside phone, since it fits pockets easier. Just for texting emails and the like. High perf stuff like gaming, and surfing would still be on my main phone.
Funny you say this because that's exactly what I'm doing now lol.
I’ve had my flip for about a month now and will say I’ve had the same complaints but i knew going into it that it would be a bit of a learning curve but being able to prop the phone up is Great for zoom calls lol
Totally agreed with your comments - great phone for light user but power users should look elsewhere.
I mean...there aren't really many options in the way of power though
I had mine about 6 months moe and I just love it
Thank you for 🌻 sharing.
Dust and lint? Sand? This is clearly a much exaggerated statement. I've had my Flip for almost a month. Ive had no problem with dust and foreign crap in or no the screen. The screen is also easy cleaned and doesn't tend to get finger prints. Put on a case and it greatly reduces space between the covers when tbe phone is folded.
The battery life is not great but am not a constant power user. I wake up the phone by 7 and plug it in to charge at 8:30 to 9:30PM
Maybe I just need to clean my pockets more hey
I've had the original z flip for 8 months .. gets way less dust and shit on the screen than a normal phone that is always open and also in your pocket. Battery last me for days
I want it precisely for the foldable quality and for being cute and aesthetic, already ordered the lavender one
I have this phone, and I’m loving it! Only issue is the battery, it drains fast. But I still love it. :)
Big, big help. Thanks. If one uses a smart watch, the front mini screen appears totally unnecessary/useless even (?). But, your points about battery life, and the deliberately having to open/close, i.e., access, are well worth considering. While I'd like a smaller format phone this is not the one. Thanks again.
Yeah the smart watch tends to do even more than the front screen. I don't use it much at all!
Thank you! I think I'm gonna wait for the flip 4 cause I love fast charging lol.
Love love this phone… I’ve had only iPhones and is my first Samsung…, just want to say I met my flip amd it has been a love story since our first day 3 weeks ago ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Best phone I have owned to date, totally love it. Dont notice the crease now I'm use to it.
Bought it 4 days before.. Absolutely magical phone! Loved it!
What do your think about the camera is it worth to buy it?
Thanks for doing this quick little review. I feel better about buying this phone now. I'm an old grump who HATES that phones get bigger and bigger. I've held onto my iPhone SE for as long as possible because I hate phones bigger than 5". But my little SE is no longer functioning and so I opted for the Palm. I could live with the atrocious battery life the Palm has, but there are so many other issues with it and it is clear the Palm is not meant to be primary phone. This Z Flip seems to be my last option out there. I hope that by buying the phone it will help send a message that there are still those of us who just want a phone that fits in your damn pocket.
I would recommend you do your homework. There's plenty of phones that are not super big and very capable.this phone is just a trend no more no less.have you ever see how somethings brake from too much folding and unfolding??.think about it.
@@pancho1071 Bold of you to assume I didn't spend hours upon hours of my life trying to find a phone that is smaller than 5". There isn't "plenty". In fact there has only been TWO that I can find that are current. The last SE iphone that was smaller than 5" is just no longer supported which is what forced me to look elsewhere. As I stated I got the Palm which is meant to be a secondary phone and doesn't really work as a stand alone phone. The other option? This Z Flip as I said. I've had it for over a month now and no issue. So unless you want to list the "PLENTY" of options for smart phones that are smaller than 5" (and I mean the whole thing. Not the screen size) that I apparently missed in my hours of searching, then take your condescending comments elsewhere.
omg I’m never gonna forget this, things like when you said “the phone doesn’t fold flat” is never going to be unseen by me now omg why help it’s okay still gonna save
Great video. I love my flip and Ive had all them phone's 🤣
What about Snapchat camera quality? Is it good or bad ?
Wow! Thank you for the update. A flip phone with new that is high tech. I remember having a flip phone that it was so cool. Well, it sort of still is cool. Thank you again great vid 👍 🙂.
Had mine for a month, it is a great phone, the battery is fine for me as I’m a very light user but turning the brightness down reduces the battery usage by quite a lot.
I like that I can have two screens at once at the top and bottom, also you don’t need to flip it to take a selfie you just click the buttons on the side twice and the camera opens.
I am really happy with mine.
#5 a good point. Great habit to grow into.
I've got this phone I love it I don't notice the crease at all it's great ,the camera is great to ,mine closes well
i love this phone in lavender very beautiful enjoyed your video👍🏽🤗
Thanks for the review. It was very helpful. The issue with the pocket lint is something I would not have known, unless I purchased it. Battery life, I'm not a power user but I want my phone to keep a charge, especially if I'm not constantly using it. I like to not have to charge my Galaxy S 10+ every day. You help steer me away from the flip for another year, at least.
Thanks for watching!
Hello. Nice video. What is that black skin or case you hsve at the back of the phone, just the bottom half . It looks like a skin grip? Thanks
Can you set the phone to answer a call when you open it up?
I have it in the color black and I love it. I love how easy it is to customize it, and how you can even change the font. I also really like the front screen. The crease is barley noticeable and the battery lasts me all day even tho I scroll on tik tok for hours.
can you tell me more about it? I'm planning to buy it but I'm a clumsy person. so I'm wondering if this phone will suit me
@@dharsinparamenthiram2893 sorry for the late reply but I just wanted to say I’m super clumsy and drop this phone 24 7 and it has no cracks or scratches !!!
I actually just ordered this phone. Sounds like this will actually work well for my lifestyle! Thanks :)
Enjoy!
i just got this phone, and i love it and it feels so cool to use in office, everyone asks which phone is this.. But i also use a iphone 12, but Flip 3 is just freakily super
I'm months in and I love mine. I especially love the outer screen so I can see if notifications are even worth opening your phone for.
Excellent review mate 👍
Is this worth upgrading from the note 10 plus?
Can you pick up a call from the outside screen and call without opening the phone ?? Nobody talks about that and i really wanna know. Even thought i will probably wait another 2 generation and then buy the previous generation for a good price xx
Lol I remember having my flip phones back in time.. never got bored of opening and closing..
hopefully they keep improving the battery and stuff and ill definitely consider getting it next time i need a phone! if it curbs how much i mindlessly check social media that's a win for me and its cute
Good reviens thanks. Expecially on the battery
I currently have an s10e which I've loved, though I'm so used to the size I really don't want any phone bigger. This size, about 5.75, is perfect, and I have small hands. I don't want a giant phone. Plus, I'm already used to the fast draining, even though I use my phone constantly. The Samsung s10e has a 3,100 battery, so I'm used to that and usually have it plugged in.
Up until this phone came out I used a Nokia and a ipod.
Once I got all my data off the ipod and Nokia on the Flip 3 it's like I have the best of both worlds!
It has more battery life than the ipod but less than the Nokia.
It runs faster than the ipod.
It has more storage than both of the other two.
It takes up less room than the other two.
It has much better display quality.
I have access to HBO and Netflix on it which I couldn't do before (Ipod couldn't run it without lagging).
The only thing it doesn't do better is durability because I've had the Nokia for 7 years and the ipod for 5 years. I'm not sure this phone will last that long but when it quits out I'll either get a new one or go back to the other two
I've caught the travel bug and live in my backpack. My current phone (iPhone 12 pro) is quite heavy and I never like carrying around more than what I can comfortably fit in my pockets (like my ID and cash in a tiny pocket sized walet) and my iPhone is incredibly annoying to fit in my pockets without feeling it 24/7)). So I am curious to know if this phone would be suitable for me considering I'd be able to fit it in my pocket with ease?
I have this phone an I love it. I read all the negative reviews, before buying it, but none were a game changer for me. I hardly notice the center line and it folds, so what do you expect?
It has a lot of positive features, which weren't mentioned here.
could you give me some positive features? i'm curious to know what your opinion on this phone is
@@Nur-lz1tl I love that it folds. As others have said, it reminds me of the old flip phones,which I always liked. This phone is actually better than the old flip phones. In the fact that it opens, to have a full screen, modern day smartphone. I also love, that many features can be used, without having to open the phone .
@@jen24smileable Hmm that's fair i guess. Thanks!
@@jen24smileable Although i have tried it out in a samsung store, i couldn't help but realize how thin and light it was. It reminded me of my old samsung S8 (i have an iphone now) and my S8 would easily heat up. is it the same with the Z flip ?
@@Nur-lz1tl I can't say that I've noticed it getting hot. It probably gets warm at times, but not hot. I'm totally happy with it.
I just bought the Pixel 6 pro and have considered returning it to buy the Z-Fold 3 after learning that you can customize one to look like the panda 2xl. I just don't know what to do. I love my Pixel 6 pro but I have questions about the quality of the device. I also didn't realize when I bought it that if I traded in my Galaxy s20 ultra I could get the flip 3 for only $400 more. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the Pixel 6 pro or return it, but I certainly hope I make the right decision before it's too late.
I have this phone and love it! No problems at all.
I love my Samsung Galaxy Z flip 3 5G pink edition!
The quality of the sound is so perfect and the camera is just good.
But the disadvantage of this phone is the battery. Even i put it on an airplane mode but still got easily drain.
Overall i love the phone!
Yeah the sound is surprisingly great on this hey?
0:05 Decent phone and decent specs? It has the top of the line SOC inside it. Top end, not decent, decent would be a mid range phone.
1:01 The reason why its not completely flat is because if something solid gets inside when you close it, will damage the display
This is why they made it this way. Where a gap would release the object to have play and eventually come out the sides.
1:30 Yes the crease is annoying and I agree, but the company had no choice.
2:15 The cover screen is not useful? Did you try the SamSprung app, this turns the outside screen to a very useful full
running app on the cover screen, watch movies, play games all full controls.
3:28 I agree not the best battery life, but with some settings you can get about 5-6 hours of SOT.
So i have a galaxy S10 with about 85 percent maximum battery capacity. I typically have to charge it twice during the day in addition to overnight. Do you think battery life would be a problem for me? And do you think this would be a good phone at all for me as a power user? It seems to me that everything about that phone is better, except it also folds. The camera seems to be better, the display seems to be better, the fingerprint scanner is undoubtedly faster (though maybe less consistent - it wont work if my fingers are damp I'm sure), and the phone itself is probably faster
Yeah you'll be charging this a lot too. The phone is better overall than the S10 though.
Is it the same about the pocket for the flip4?
have it for a month and i love it!!!
Does the phone come with a screen protector or how would you go about buying one? I'm overall pretty interested in this phone but I tend to drop my phone A LOT so I don't want it to get cracked easily.. I appreciate the help!
It does come with one pre-installed but it can come off over time (mine did after this video). Now my phone screen is covered in scratches and dents just from my thumbnail. There are screen protectors available for purchase too. Highly recommend you get one.
@@tobiasgvenus wow, thanks for the answer and responding so promptly! :D
I love mine too...none of the complaints bother me!!
Will a software update improve the battery?
That brings us back to the time when we used the phone, not the other way around.
Thank you for the honest review!! Love it!
Using your phone less is a whole positive for me
The negatives are what is expected. I'm looking at one of these for my 14 Yr old son great pocket size. He loves his iPhone SE as its small
I love mine. The Crease doesn't bother me at all. Short battery life... Yup. But other than that, the form factor makes up for it.
Delicious phone.
tbh once they "perfect" this type of smartphone it will just be another OPTION. I like it when we have options. I just hope the companies stop being so greedy.
Absolutely love this form factor! But got myself the S22+, to last me for say, the next 4 years, until they have ironed out all the glitches, battery life, camera, dust issues etc.
Yeah, I have a s21+ actually but I am still hesitating to upgrade to a z flip after those 4 years. Dont get me wrong, I love how this phone works. But at the end of the day, my battery of my s21 + is about 20 - 30% battery life and probably the z flip will die out on me and another thing is that I really care about the cameras as well... Unless they fix camera and especially the battery, I might continue with the s series.
I kinda like how small the cover is…it brings more privacy and I kinda work with kids. ^^;; I’m looking forward to getting mine this week.
I just wanna know: Does it break? The previous models broke with normal use. I see this one might have a pre-made crease in exchange for more durability, which is perfectly fine, if the thing doesn't end up breaking anyway.
Still using it daily and it's fine but it's starting to creak a little bit when I close it now. I doubt it'll last as long as other phones.
I bought the Gear watch 4 with it. It's a nice compliment to the z flip. I can text and talk without going to the phone.
Have a Razr 5G. Has a much more interactive front display with a zero gap hinge. Yes, it's specs are mid-range. Unless you're a heavy gamer, you're not going to notice a difference. Plus have a Tab S7 for heavy multi-tasking and video content. Yes, it's only water repellent, that's why I purchased an accidental warranty. I'm a Samsung guy at heart, but to me the Razr is more anesthetic, more of what a flip phone should look like. They say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". At like $550 on Mercari with a 2 year accidental warranty, I beholden the Razr 5G😉
Not completely closing is actually a good thing. Dust and sand don't kill the screen. It is deliberate like this, it is a feature.
Hey guys, is there any possible way to send an automated text to somebody calling your phone without answering or opening the phone ? Would normally have an automated text such as 'Can't talk, just in a meeting' as a custom message as I often receive calls during work hours.
Thank you for this review! I wanted to upgrade my phone for the z flip 3 or iPhone 13, but I also want to use my phone less and this just made the choice easier!
Glad I could help!
I have been contemplating buying this but the main drawback was that crease. Is it just there because that is how it is built or is it there through deterioration and will it get worse?
I've been using it everyday since September and it's still holding together pretty well. Check back in a year!
Will i feel the battery drain if im moving from an iphone se 2020? Cuz now its only 1821mah
Need to ask I am using this but I have one issue with this.
Actually in this we can not take waiting calls when other call is going on.
Previously in my old phone when I talked to someone and in middle If any waiting call is coming I could easily put the ongoing call on hold and cam take the waiting.but in this when I tried the same it's not working I need to cut the ongoing call....(call waiting setting is on))can you tell anything regarding this
How can you expect a folding things without crease...
good review to help an interested buyer. one quick thing I noticed in my Flip is that it does not have a "Music Player" app which were normally installed in old Samsung galaxy phones. would you recommend one if I have to save music in my Flip storage and play it.
My galaxy note 10+ deactivated the default music player on my phone as well. I switched to Spotify. It costs monthly, but you can download music to listen to offline (with purely amazing quality.) If you want it free, like I used to, stream off CZcams.
@@shatteredscry thank you, I found that the app was simply not installed yet, so had to just download it.
I would take 2 crease for the fold function. LOL. It doesn't bother me at all, I don't even notice it. If there's dust on the screen I just wipe it with my hands or cloths. I do that with my slab phone anyway. BUT I think any review or opinion from another person is useless for this phone. You need to have it for a few days to decide. Regarding the battery I play Gatcha heavy grinding phone games. I mean it 5 hours straight and my flip3 doesn't get overheat and my battery is fine too. So I still don't understand what is wrong with the battery. Yes the battery is on the smaller side but it last well enough unless you plan to 10hr heavy gaming on it with max screen brightness. But totally good even for my heavy gaming use 🤷♀️. I do leave my game on max settings. I use this phone for gaming purpose only since I'm working from home and don't go anywhere during this whole lockdown pandemic. So... Hmmmm. I had this phone since day of release. 👀 So I can conclude that you need to have this phone and use it to really decide if it's for you or not.
but do u feel fatigued like do your thumbs hurt from opening the phone so much jejeje
Hopefully while deciding doesn't come apart from all that folding and unfolding.
I have the fold, and I liken the crease to your windshield in your car. If you are looking for it of course you can see it, but generally it just kinda disappears. & yeah the Flip’s battery is only 3300, Fold is 4400, works for me. I use my phone a lot for work and my eye sight is crappy, so the big screen has been fantastic.
Switching from Samsung Galaxy S20 5G to this phone so far I still have s20 and using it waiting for my phone case to arrive. This z flip is super slippery and fell out of my hands the first I used it lol. I can tell using it the little bit I have the crease is noticeable but not super bad. The phone charges super slow compared to my s20 must no be equipped with super fast charging.
How is it now with case?
Did ur thoughts change?
@@jerry7253 I feel like I'm going to break this phone. It very strong with case helps. Maybe it just adjusting to the new/old format factor of flip smartphones
I've been drawn to these for a while now but a recent wardrobe change has lead to me using smaller handbags so i need something abit more compact and one of these seems ideal
