      @checkanr138 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@chasewoolfolk1252 reading about these issues is one thing. the other is - what is the real innovation for these foldables - if i am in the market for a small phone, i would rather just buy a small phone. the only reason for these phones would be in my opinion to have a benefit of protecting the screen if folded, which is mostly offset by it being more prone to breaking and getting particles into the hinge.
      another nice thing is to be able to point the camera like with a tripod, but this is something that most people probably use once a month at max. for tablets i think this might be more interesting, but they are big anyways, so also not that big of a thing if you can fold them.
      right now i do not think that this folding stuff is pushing the tech in the right direction, i would rather see companies innovate towards better battery life, having much better smartbands with great battery life that lasts months instead of weeks and innovating in power saving technologies and user interface design which is accessible for young and old instead of feature bloat and hard to understand structure of menus. with samsung feature bloat is a problem, there is a myriad of different apps they install for you that can not even be updated within the app store for example.

    Just to give you a heads up, what you're looking for can be found under developer options so you're going to go. You're going to go to about phone. You're going to going to go to the build number tap at seven times. It'll say you were a developer. You're going to go to where it shows you to your system update, etc. Developer options will be there. Turn it on. Go to media you'll see me, the Trent and you'll see the transfer. You'll tap it and you'll definitely choose media or P2 transfer. Once you do that, it remains on

    Folding phones are such a gamble though. I work at a phone repair shop and see a lot of issues pertaining to the main screen(bubbling is pretty common), I’d recommend getting insurance if you plan on getting one. The inner screen replacement is about $350-$400 at my store for the flip 4

    I love the Flip 4, but we talking about problems today. My biggest problem with this phone is the aspect ratio. It either cuts off content, or it doesn't fill the whole screen up with content. It's upside is that it's great for social media. You can full screen TH-cam or Twitch and there is still enough room on the screen to read the Live chat feed. My comment kinda doesn't make sense, but it does. Content with video and a chat feed work better than if just a video was playing, if that makes sense.

I was curious, in regard to the battery standby life, if it would possibly make a difference in changing out the battery settings to become more adaptive in order to eliminate some of the burn when not in use.

    I've never had issues with bluetooth, even going through multiple walls at the same (or even further than free throw line). As for the Samsung white case, I actually really like it. I guess it's a case for those who always use the strap as a pop socket replacement. Using the strap gets rid of that extra slack when the case is fully open.

    There are pros and cons to every phone. If companies made perfect phones that would not draw any conplaints, they would be out of business. I just got the flip and my reason was for compactness and weight. My old phone was bulky and would fall out of my pocket when trying to grab it. Also, i dint have large hands so my hand would get fatigued holding a bigger phone for a lenthy amount of time. The flip 4, though not perfect, meets my needs. Thanks for your review!

    I had my Flip for maybe a week and a half. I absolutely loved it and had no issues. Today I was walking and the phone (was closed) slid out of my hand and landed right on concrete on the hinge. Heard a crunch and my heart sank. The phone wouldnt open beyond 45 degrees and the hinge was completely broken. I went to my local Source and was able to exchange it for an S22. I'm extremely disheartened that the phone broke so easily despite Samsung really waving the flag about this new hinge design. I'll definitely buy another Flip in the future when Samsung improves durability

    The biggest change between the Flip 3 and Flip 4 was documented on Jerry Rig Everythings video on both devices. Samsung added protection to opening the Flip 4 with a locking hinge that stops the device from being essentially snapped in half from the back. So all of those people who throw their Flip 3 screens open like that are rolling the dice on shattering their screen in the process. The Flip 4 no longer has that issue.
    The Flip 4 being more durable is why I spent $400 (got a 256GB Flip 4 on Offerup) on a 4 instead of spending $200 on a Flip 3.

    Loved my flip 4, for about 7 months until the screen stopped working. Despite never falling and no damage (only scratches to the sides of the device due to sand) to the screen/body, Samsung refused to honor the warranty and asked me half of the price I paid for the device to repair it.
    This was my first Samsung, I had fell in love with the device but the decision on my warranty made me never want to buy Samsung again. I have talk to many people with the same screen issue though 😢

It landed on the rug, and it broke the hinge. I was pissed. I saw videos about this issue with the phone..but I didn't think it would happen to me if I had a case. Not the case at all..no pun intended. If you get this phone, get a case that offers full hinge protection.

    Set bixby to go to battery saving when not plugged in overnight and turrn of mode in the am, automatically. Samsung as transfer to windows but wires should be fastest, but also yeah you have a Mac.
    My biggest issue is the lack of a telephoto lens. That would be an outside upgrade.

    Today my husband's Flip 4 locked up. He can only open it halfway. No damage, just plugged it in last night, went to bed, and got up to it this way. Another issue he has had in the four months he has owned it is dust/dirt/debris etc in the power plug port. He plugged in it in only to get a message that no power cord is recognized. A can of air remedied that. He DOES keep this in his pocket, who knows what lives in there. I think Samsung needs to add an attached cover so that you can cover the hole when not plugged in. I was searching fo the stuck issue in here and came across this review. Thank you

    The strap case is probably one of the best cases for the phone i wish they came in more colors and had a kickstand. Not a big fan the ring cases. You are supposed to put your finger(s) under the strap no need for the pinky perch. Also the phone is easy to flip open. I agree with the Bluetooth issue only i notice it with the gwatch 5.

    My Flip 3's screen broke (a white hole in crease where the backlight was constantly on) after 5 months. Also there was a nasty scratch right in the crease that wasn't from my fingernails. They need to make these phones more durable. Samsung's customer service (in Benelux) was awful, they offered a replacement phone that would have arrived in about a month. I told them I can pick up a replacement and they can refund, they said no. In the end they gave me a refund. I'm now on the NeverSamsung team and I'll only get compact-ish phones like the Zenfone 9.

    I have a MAJOR PROBLEM, and I'm not alone apparently, judging from the half dozen articles, referring to it. In the 2 half months since its release. I'm talking about the hinge. which can become misaligned even with a case on , from a small 2 foot drop or less, to caring it around in your pocket and leaning on it or sitting on it in your back pocket. and once It's out of alignment, the touch screen will start getting dead spots. and the screen may start to pull away or bubble up. And of course, the hinge stops opening all the way.
    I didn't drop mine, have only had it for 2 weeks(and had a case on it from day one). and my hinge started sticking , and got worse over the next few days. As i described earlier, I called Samsung Customer Service, but they didnt seem surprised by my issue, and they are taking care of it, through their warranty. Well we will see , I got a Ticket number and an appoint to take it in to a Samsung Service provider. Who is supposed to fix the problem the same day. I'll tell you how it turns out.

    What a revelation I have never bought a large phone. My previous phone was a google pixel 5. I have used a flip 4 for about a month. I Now have a large phone in a small package. Battery life is very good. I use the light processor mode. The screen is fantastic (netflix fills the screen as far as aspect ratio you change it to much and you may hate holding the phone.). I upgrade my phone every couple of years at this point for my last couple of phones I can't tell the difference in screens and processor speeds are becoming less important. Folks my $3000 dollar TV does not look any better then my $1000 dollar phone. A battery that easily makes it through a day without recharging you will never need to upgrade a phone until it dies.

    Samsung always had that problem of standby battery drain, I remember that from galaxy s2 plus. Install cpu-Z and look into "deep-sleep" percentage. If it's zero or too low, you gotta search for the problem causing it. In old phones the "media storage" process just went crazy and you couldn't do anything about it, but in new ssung phones it's very possible you could solve it

Idk how it compares to the S22. I’m personally happy with the Flip 4 so far.
