Samsung is currently offering $150 off on all configurations of the Flip 4, check it out here if you’re interested: howl.me/ciQWsUFpA8C What are your thoughts on the Flip 4? Thanks so much for watching!
I've been with Samsung forever. Remember the Samsung Vibrant? I just got a renewed Z flip 4 from Amazon today. I'm watching your video on it right now. I like it so far.
Do you know for how long this offer will last? Im interested in the phone but can only get it in 2 weeks’ time but only if the offer is still available. Thank you ❤
Love these kinds of reviews. Its important to know whether a phone holds up after a few months rather than hearing some specs right after it's opened. Keep up the good stuff man.
ngl the thing that makes me want this the most is the ability to like... truly 'turn off' your phone. like obv every phone can turn off but the idea that the screen totally closes so you dont psychologically feel like you can use it at any minute is amazing.
I agree! It's one of the reasons why I like having a smart watch as well, I read my notifications and don't feel the need to grab my phone anymore ✨ I tend to forget to reply completely tho, but that's a "me problem" 🙈
Got mine last week and I have to say this phone gets me excited about tech again. Coming from a 14 year long iPhone user, I hope it means something. Also, the outer screen is a game changer. I don’t find myself looking at my phone all the time anymore. Kudos to the design. Thanks for the review
@@janettgomez8282 the camera is not at the level of the s23 especially in lowlight. But for most occasions the camera takes beautiful pics prob at the level of the s21
Iphones are the most reliable phones in the world, but that's it, there are so many limitations, with Android I'm tottaly free to install what I want, yes, at the risk of malware but that is my problem, also, Android handles files like a windows computer compared to Iphone.
Using the Galaxy A52 5G but just researching for my next phone. Most reports have the iphone 14s as having lots of wierd glitches. I might stay with Samsung.
I've had this phone since launch. Absolutely the best phone ive ever owned. Really good camera, beautiful design, surprisingly sturdy. I can't imagine ever using a non-flip phone again
I opted to buy a Z Flip 3 this year since the price has lowered. Although the lower battery life and lack of macro camera are something I have to adjust to, it is a really compact and beautiful phone for my teeny tiny hands. I'm excited to get another flip or fold phone sometime in the future :)
@@chieradione yesss im 100% going to upgrade when it's released. I actually went from the flip 2, to the 3, to the 4. Once you have a flip phone its hard to imagine using a non foldable phone
Absolutely love my Z Flip 4 ❤️ -Compact (fits well in my body bag) -Great Performance (buttery smooth) -Beautiful Design (i have the pink gold one) -Great Display (as Samsung always does) -Cover Screen Features (makes me open the phone when really needed, less useless time spent on phone 😆) -Flip Mode Features (as a phone stand, and screen functionality) I just wish the battery to have been better--have to carry a power bank on long travels. Samsung should introduce a Magsafe-like feature on their future phones. Especially on their Flip series. I installed a magnet ring on one of my Flip's cases and bought a Magsafe compatible power bank/external battery pack. It is a wonderful experience 😊
How long have you used the flip 4 for? Im planning on switching to it (bcus my s9 recently died) but ive heard many people complaining about screen issue and durability,
@Kylio DiAldio approaching 6 months already. Just be sure to keep your Flip's screen away from hard objects like keys. I accidentally dropped my keys on my Flip and it damaged the screen, Samsung however replaced my screen for free. I was just lucky that the Samsung service personnel were so kind.
@Get in there Lewis! Out, out out, out out out I do! Plus I have my mobile data on for almost 10h a day. Well because wifi isn't readily available at my locality. So I resort to mobile data. Before I got an external battery pack, my battery can last for an entire work day (8AM to 6PM). I usually have 10-20% left when arriving home and then just plug it in
@@KenLucon With my Galaxy S8 plus, I have to carry around a battery pack anyways, so this is a nonissue to me. I'm hoping to get my new phone by next month. Though, I might wait until the next gen comes out to see if there's any significant improvements from the last one. If it's practically the same, I'll just get this gen since it's the best of the flip phone market at the moment. 😁
I am obsessed with the Samsung flip 4 ! I have the 256GB version purple. But the hinge started making clicking noise just after 2 weeks . Sent it to samsung thr customer service was fantastic they covered it under warranty got a email today saying it was fixed and I should get it back Monday!!!! I'm so happy cause this phone is the best phone I've ever used and I miss it alot!!!
im finally making the jump from being an apple user for over a decade since middle school… im scared but excited and know that once i get over the learning curve i’ll probably be so happy i made the switch. i’m so excited to get my z flip 4!
I've seen people say that the battery life initially sucks bc the phone learns your usage patterns and improves from there based on your habits. Do you from experience think that's true? I'm just curious cuz I've seen different opinions around
I woke up this morning and I thought - I miss my flip phones from the 00s, this is the perfect modern day update on those nostalgic phones back in the day. This review is great, I'm going to upgrade to this phone 😁 thanks!
I needed this video, instead of focusing on some boring spec numbers in the screen you kept your focus on the practical use of the phone. Many tech youtubers focus so much just on creating hype, you on the other hand, are very easy to trust. Stay awesome bro, God Bless.
I've had mine for 5 months, and I love it! I'll never go back to a non-flip phone. That being said I hope Samsung makes the following improvements and IMHO these changes would make this the perfect phone: 1.) A larger outer screen to allow MUCH more usage with the phone closed. 2.) A better camera. The current camera isn't bad, but it could definitely be better. Add an optical zoom as well. 3.) A little bit better battery life. It is better than previous generations, but it still could be a little better. 4.) A less slippery exterior. This thing is slippery and could easily slip out of someone's hand. 5.) A less stiff hinge. It needs to open easier with one hand. It should be easy, smooth and seemless, and the screen touch capability halted while the phone is being opened. I sometimes inadvertently tap a button while opening the phone. The phone cannot be opened by the sides only. YOU HAVE to touch the top portion of the screen to push it open once you get the two halves separated. This has caused the accidental activation of applications. If the screen were easier to open by using the sides only, this would not be an issue. It needs to remain closed when closed, but EASILY opened.
Been an iphone user ever since iphone 5 and i switched from iphone 13 pro max to zflip 4 because im just tired of apple icloud, its bluetooth that only works on apple products and its limitations esp with transferring files. I have to admit my life became easier plus i use this phone too to shoot fast moving objects and that it's very compact. Battery life is good too. I love thr camera as well, it had so many features. Apple just became so boring for me. I have been having so much fun with this phone and a lot of people find it adorable they alwYs light up when they see my phone! Taking videos in public are also made easy with its flip feature , i can place it in top of anywhere and use palm recognition without having to set the timer! The efficiency with this phone cannot be compared with iphone's repetitive design. The photos from this phone are also good
I’ve been wanting this phone on and off since the 1st iteration and was really considering it before I watched this video. All I have to say is you’ve convinced me, I need the fun of this phone in my life instead of the boredom of my IPhone.
I was trying to decide between the S23 and the flip 4, now I am convinced that I want the flip4. I really miss having a flip phone. I love the idea that I can put it in my jacket or hoody pocket without it falling out. Thanks for the review!
I had upgraded from a 6 year old LG V20 to the flip 4, so on top of the quantum leap in performance the form factor makes me feel I will never go back to a non folding phone. I think I will hold onto it as long as it lasts, hopefully at least 3 or 4 years, then snag a ZFold or competing device once it truly becomes the one device does all platform it can be.
Just got the 4, my 1st flip and loving it so far. Love the size & features. Been using an iPhone since I don’t really remember, but the transition isn’t too bad. Ordered a case from amazon, hate it, gotta try again. Anyone have any suggestions for a case, and should I also get a screen protector? Thank you for this video.
Go get a clear one with a ring and a magsafe ring. And also get a magsafe compatible power bank. With this, you get to showcase your phone's design, it will be easier to hold the phone using the ring, and the magsafe case ring will make it easier for you to make a much needed emergency charge to your Flip when on the go.
There's alot of cute cases on burga if your wanting a stylish protective case. But If your wanting something super cute I've noticed alot of cute cases on aliexpress
I'm currently using the ZFlip3. I absolutely love it and I look forward to the 4. I have tiny hands so it is so nice not to have to struggle with larger phones. I love the flip feature for my handbag. It just is a all around better phone. Besides when I use in public IPhone users are so impressed but they try hard to deny it. It's just a fun slick phone with a ton of functionality that I have come to rely on and enjoy. Thanks for your review.
@rameesakhan5079 hello and absolutely not it's perfect. It's not heavy. You can actually talk with the phone. No problems in that way. I think my problems sometimes are how the updates come thru and understanding what that new update means for my phone. It's really a pretty resilient phone. I'm at the end of payoff this phone and looking forward to purchasing the next series.
@@ramonabridgett9058 is this a curved phone; i used bing ai ,it said this is the phone closest to Galaxy S8's edge design? or is it like the apple iPhone- completely flat? Some sites said while not curved it has a slight curved to it; I wanna buy it because flip phones fit in pocket easily and I can get this in amazon for 350$ but the curved aspect is like a main reason why I want a phone like that😭😭
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 😢
i had the same issue with my screen when i close it it stopped coming back on when i opended it back up about 4 months old had to send it to samsung to get it fixed had samsung phones all my life but never had issues with them as far as that it is a good phone just hope it doesnt take long to fix cause im stuck without a phone at the moment
Only thing that makes me nervous about my flip 3 is getting thin cracks along the seam. I'm upgrading to the flip 4 while it is considered a non issue but I love everything else about my flip phone.
Had for 3 months and suddenly when I opened it a black stripe just pop out in the middle of the screen, right where the hinge is. It started to spread out and the whole screen got blocked out. Happily was on its warranty and returned it to the seller. Was fun to use but its a very sensitive phone.
I feel like the lack of a telephoto and USB 3 / Dex is just so that they have something easy to add for the Flip 5. Otherwise they'd have to find ways to add some more features while trying to keep the form factor.
I remember them saying dex was a heat issue. And my 20 ultra gets hot so I kinda buy it. But I also wouldn't be surprised if you were right cause it's looking like optimized rn
It would be great to have telephoto and dex, if they give those features it would be a great improvement as they also have to deal with the crease, front larger display, battery, etc
I've been using it more than two month and it's soo great..Screen protection was put as soon as i bought it and condition is so accurate. So happy by using it..being in love day by day actually❤
Recently checked out prices for last year's foldables myself and was shocked to see how affordable they are. Makes me excited knowing more people can enjoy them now!
Have & love the Z Fold 3 but after 6 months went back to my S21 Ultra for that 10x optical lens camera. Love the fold feature and would love to get the Flip, but the camera set up on the Ultra models is too good (for me) to give up.
I chose the z fold 4 over the z flip 4 because I heard thar the folding screen was still not perfected on the flip (but it is on the fold?). Aside from that, the fold I purchased has 1tb of storage and that I need. But the flip has really got me interested. I love the little outer display. That being said, the fold 4 really ticks all the boxes for me. The flip would be just a "fun" phone,, - easy to carry, cute cases, etc - with almost all the charm and usefulness of the z fold and the s series galaxy phones I already own. If given a z flip, I would not turn it down, but I can't see spending money on an extra phone right now....someday maybe. It's just so....cute!
The flip 4 still had issues of the flip 3. My flip 4 display issues started just a week after a year and now I will have to spend a good amount to fix it. If u do plan to buy this phone, then pls take a one year extended warranty as the hinge issue is there, and most issues will only happen after one year. For now, I am using the phone as a non-flip and that works, but if I do close the phone, I have to restart to get it started as the display does not come on.
I got my Z Flip 4 around Black Friday 2022, and I could not be happier. ...well, except for the fact that EVERY PHONE FROM THIS YEAR HAS NO HEADPHONE JACK
I'm thinking about saving my money to get this phone. I really want this phone but I don't want to bug my parents. I have a good phone right now and will use this phone until it won't work before I get this cool flip phone.
But the big question. Can I hang up on a call by folding the phone? Got one ordered. My ancient Galaxy S7 is still trucking along, but its time for a new one.
About 10 years ago I had a Galaxy Mega it was about the same size screen as this phone but it couldn't fold in half.Oh my gosh I love the folding capabilities of the newer samsung phones.
Great and thorough review. I have ordered a Flip 4 and am looking forward to using a phone that is small enough to fit in my front pocket as opposed to something large and vulnerable in my back pocket. Based on your review I will probably limit the need to open the phone regularly as my most important function will be on the front scree. Thanks and will let you know my thoughts once I receive and use.
If i had to nitpick one thing i did not like about this phone, though, it's the fact that this slippery phone needs a case. Outside of the case, I am scared to death of dropping it!
Great review, I really want to go to the flip but when tested out in the store the camera comparison against my S21 Ultra just didn't ait right with me. I hope that if a new flip is brought out that the camera specs are higher as I feel the flip would be a good to have to test it out in own day to day life.
My S9 just died after ab 4 - 5 years of use. now I'm really considering the flip 4 as a replacement. is it a good idea? (because ive heard alot of screen and crease issues)
I would get the s22 plus that's a pretty good Samsung phone now IV you do get a Flip 4 GET warranty you will probably need it. I'm using a OnePlus 9 phone as my everyday phone and although I want a flip 4 there's still that part of me that isn't ready yet for reliability concerns but if I had a flip 4 I'd get a backup phone just incase if I used it as my daily but at the end of the day it's up to you what you end up doing
I was about to switch to S22 Ultra from S21 Ultra but then I gave Z Flip 4 a chance just to get a new experience and loving it. I'm using it for a month now and haven't got a regret moment besides that I have to use it in a certain angle so I won't see the folding area at the middle of the screen. All in all I am giving it an 8.5/10 :D
@izara arlana oh it's a beauty! I wasn't planning to change phones because s21 is a good phone. With heavy usage, my phone usually lasts more than a day
Thanks for this review! Ive been on the fence about switching to this phone and treating myself, but you've convinced me that it'll be an upgrade to my Pixel 4xl! I'm excited to buy this as soon as i graduate college as a gift to myself!
Had mine 6 months. It's not fragile at all as I had the same fear. Hinge feels like a tank and when it's closed you can rest assured it's safer than regular phones.
I have an s21 but I'm considering switching to a z flip I think I'll wait until the next generation is out though just to see if they've made some more improvements
I have a OnePlus 9 as my everyday phone and I love it. With that being said if I could get the chance to get a secondary/ Weekend/ back up phone I would choose the Flip 4 for sure it's such a nice looking phone and I used it a few times it wasn't easy to stop using cause I was enjoying it. Samsung flip 4 is definitely a fun phone to use daily or as a backup phone
I'm glad someone bothered to ask about these downsides. On top of phones lesser than this having no reason to omit something like the telephoto lens still as they're just as useful as the ultrawide, but also these Z Flip phones still lacking DeX support to this day. I would think that it has something to do with the form factor of it being a flip phone but it's still a Samsung phone nonetheless. If the Fold iterations can do this with no issue, these Flips should have no issue at all.
Do you think it’s a more practical phone for a mom of a 2 month old baby or is the constant flipping going to be a “multitasking-mom” issue?? For example: holding the baby with a hand and trying to flip the phone with the other😅
The little rubber pegs missing at the bottom -- are you concerned with water damage? My right one is hanging on by a thread. Samsung said to replace it, they'd have to replace the whole screen. :/
I love my flip 3. Just got my flip 4 today. No complaints yet except, You would think that for $1,000 phone, they would throw in a wall charger and headphones/ear buds.
I liked the Flip 3 and I like the Flip 4 even more. Gone are the days of battery anxiety (which were there with the Flip 3). And now the high point - after the December 2022 update, the battery life is even more impressive. I'm getting not 10% drop of battery per 1hr of screen time, but 7-8% drop. Screen off with 2 SIM cards (one e-sim) takes not 3%, but 1-1,5% per hour. This thing is now difficult to actually discharge, based on my usage patterns. Someone had learnt a lesson at Samsung 😉example from today: screen time 1hr, total usage 8hrs41min, battery at 81%.
Does it have expandable memory like other Samsungs? All my iPhone users (almost everyone I know) are always complaining about having to make space for more photos... I have over 10,000 photos on my phone in my memory card. I take tons of pictures. I dont care about the 100x zoom because the pictures arent great unless you can hold the phone steady, but it HAS to have expandable memory and a kickass cameras/camera features for me to even consider it!
Thank you for this update. I must say I had mine 8 days and thr hinge broke. It was still usable just won't open completely..I am replacing it with the same and just hope I don't have the same problem..I do Love the phone especially front features.
That's one of the few things holding me back from using these flip phones. But if I could use it but have a backup phone ready to go I'd definitely pick up the flip 4 but Im not sure if I trust it to be my everyday phone maybe my backup/ Weekend phone for fun. Someday I'll get a flip just not the right time yet
Would you call it a proper flagship replacement? I still don't see it as such since they always got less features than the S series just to accomodate the flip nature of it. Edit: casually just got to the part where you do mention its 90% oh well, maybe next gen they will get it right
Not a proper one, no. But if you're willing to make some sacrifices like losing a good zoom camera and a wider display in exchange for a much more pocketable/everyday friendly phone then this is the one. Comes down to personal preference by the end of it
@@GAMIR_SFM thats what i said. i said iphones doesnt even have dex. even the pro and pro max. thats why theyre replacement of iphones cause theres not much features
I have an iPhone 13 mini and the flip 4 and I use both. But I love and use my flip so much more. It's fun, personal, and refreshing. You won't regret it.
my biggest drawback with this phone, and with any phone without this feature is, the lack of usb 3.0 support. I love having a phone that doubles down as an external usb storage device. With how compact this phone is, it would be absolutely perfect for me.
I notice you use the left hand when holding the flip 4. I believe the pressure on the left peg, led to its detachment. It happened to me as well, although mine is still there (just loose). Samsung repair center said no problem, but I ma not happy with that.
Do you see huge changes coming to the Flip5? I have an opportunity to buy a Flip4, but I'm wondering if I should just wait until the Flip5. If there won't be significant changes/improvements, I'd like to go ahead and buy the 4 because I'm so excited to get a new phone. Any thoughts?
Im sad that Samsung got rid of the SD card slots. I used it a lot when I had Samsung. My trying to hold off on getting another phone because I’ve only had my iPhone for 2 years. But I really like the flip it’s really different and I always liked Android for it customization options
I have had the Flip4 since 8.14.22. I really like the design... BUT I HATE that it has no SD port. (1) Smart Switch did not recognize my phone from my Macbook Pro. (This would not be an issue IF I could use an SD card.) After DAYS of Samsung tech support, Google-Fi sent a replacement phone. All seemed good, until it auto-updated from Android-12 to Android-13 -- and deleted ALL of my preferences. Then the screen kept going black and Not awaking. Also, in order to end a call, I have to OPEN the phone. What?? After Many hours again with Samsung, Google-Fi sent a 2nd replacement. IT didn't work in MANY ways!!! I am now on phone #4. Sadly, there is no way to keep Android-12 on the phone. Conclusion: This phone (at least My 3, so far) does not function well on Adroid-13. I am VERY frustrated and phone #4 is yet to be set up. For future design, I would also like a larger front screen, and an SD CARD PORT!!! BTW, I got this great case that is thin and has a metal finger loop. I like that a lot.
been an iphone user for last 13 years and just got switched to z flip 4 just cause i was just so bored with small small updated each year and with nothing new i was just ocassionally usiing my phone but now i got something new to play around, yes its not something more better over my 14 pro but i am liking something different and eye catchy.
You're the second youtube channel I've seen that lost the screen bumper. The other guy is a Brazilian TH-camr called "Gabriel de Pinho" and Samsung replaced the whole housing, screen and battery of the phone because they don't have replacements for the bumpers lol.
@@ShaneSymonds Yeah, he went to a Samsung Customer Service here in my city and Samsung asked 48 hours to see what they could do. Then they called him saying that the whole body, screen and battery would have to be replaced because they don't have replacements for those tiny little bumpers lol. It took 4 days for the service to be completed and they charged him nothing because the phone was under warranty.
Good review and reflective of my use. Telephoto lens, Dex and more usable cover screen. But Samsung’s cover launcher app provides more uses. As I recall, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite didn’t support for Dex, but added it
Thank you for such a user friendly review! Watching this while choosing a new phone, not sure wheter to buy this one or Flip 5 already :) What do you think?
I have not really bought into the YT creator's hardcore flip hype, as when I bought one to see the woods from the trees, I was underwhelmed. That is probably just me; my phone is just for getting stuff done, not for fun (humbug, I know). So the Flip3 was more of a nuisance than helpful. On contemplating why it became apparent that Samsung's flawed design with the tiny front display made the Flip fail for me. I have seen OPPO's take, or it's Find N2, and if they get a global release, I can see myself trying again. Fundamentally, if you are going to make a flip phone work well, open and closed, then you need a front display that is usable and useful. The Flip4 front display seems half-hearted and undeserved of a $1000 phone. It is okay for those sold on flip phones, as it's the Flip4 or nothing (in the US), but for those who understand the form, Samsung needs to address this issue (hopefully Flip5).
Fair points. I think the Flip 4 at $850 is currently the best option out there for flipping foldables but still room for improvement with the front display for sure. I am eyeing up Oppo's new options but lack of availability around the world is a limiting factor, and I was not blown away by the first Oppo Find N.

What are your thoughts on the Flip 4? Thanks so much for watching!
I've been with Samsung forever. Remember the Samsung Vibrant?
I just got a renewed Z flip 4 from Amazon today. I'm watching your video on it right now. I like it so far.
I'm also rocking the Z fold 4 and S22 Ultra.
The Flip 4 is a great phone and considering it's price range, it's the best affordable foldable in the current market.
Do you know for how long this offer will last? Im interested in the phone but can only get it in 2 weeks’ time but only if the offer is still available. Thank you ❤

Got mine last week and I have to say this phone gets me excited about tech again. Coming from a 14 year long iPhone user, I hope it means something. Also, the outer screen is a game changer. I don’t find myself looking at my phone all the time anymore. Kudos to the design. Thanks for the review
I've had the same experience. I recommend downloading Cover OS which lets you use basically all your apps on the outer screen!
@gvzhgfdbfdb thanks for the advice. I've seen it shown some place, will check it out
@gilbertgalvan3506 hope it works out for you. Enjoy the new phone if you end up buying it

I opted to buy a Z Flip 3 this year since the price has lowered. Although the lower battery life and lack of macro camera are something I have to adjust to, it is a really compact and beautiful phone for my teeny tiny hands. I'm excited to get another flip or fold phone sometime in the future :)

-Compact (fits well in my body bag)
-Great Performance (buttery smooth)
-Beautiful Design (i have the pink gold one)
-Great Display (as Samsung always does)
-Cover Screen Features (makes me open the phone when really needed, less useless time spent on phone 😆)
-Flip Mode Features (as a phone stand, and screen functionality)
I just wish the battery to have been better--have to carry a power bank on long travels.
Samsung should introduce a Magsafe-like feature on their future phones. Especially on their Flip series. I installed a magnet ring on one of my Flip's cases and bought a Magsafe compatible power bank/external battery pack. It is a wonderful experience 😊
How long have you used the flip 4 for? Im planning on switching to it (bcus my s9 recently died) but ive heard many people complaining about screen issue and durability,
I never have any bad battery peformances on mine.
You must use yours heavily.
@Kylio DiAldio approaching 6 months already. Just be sure to keep your Flip's screen away from hard objects like keys. I accidentally dropped my keys on my Flip and it damaged the screen, Samsung however replaced my screen for free. I was just lucky that the Samsung service personnel were so kind.
@Get in there Lewis! Out, out out, out out out I do! Plus I have my mobile data on for almost 10h a day. Well because wifi isn't readily available at my locality. So I resort to mobile data.

If it's practically the same, I'll just get this gen since it's the best of the flip phone market at the moment. 😁
I am obsessed with the Samsung flip 4 ! I have the 256GB version purple. But the hinge started making clicking noise just after 2 weeks . Sent it to samsung thr customer service was fantastic they covered it under warranty got a email today saying it was fixed and I should get it back Monday!!!! I'm so happy cause this phone is the best phone I've ever used and I miss it alot!!!
im finally making the jump from being an apple user for over a decade since middle school… im scared but excited and know that once i get over the learning curve i’ll probably be so happy i made the switch. i’m so excited to get my z flip 4!
Using my flip 4 for 4 months now as well. The battery life has improved so much since day 1 after updates, and video quality has improved so much too.
I've seen people say that the battery life initially sucks bc the phone learns your usage patterns and improves from there based on your habits. Do you from experience think that's true? I'm just curious cuz I've seen different opinions around
@@sydneychristensen2058 i noticed this and i agree ! It does adhust to your charging pattern
how many hours of battery life does it have with the power saver on?
@@dts42015 128 Hours
I woke up this morning and I thought - I miss my flip phones from the 00s, this is the perfect modern day update on those nostalgic phones back in the day. This review is great, I'm going to upgrade to this phone 😁 thanks!
I needed this video, instead of focusing on some boring spec numbers in the screen you kept your focus on the practical use of the phone. Many tech youtubers focus so much just on creating hype, you on the other hand, are very easy to trust. Stay awesome bro, God Bless.
I've had mine for 5 months, and I love it! I'll never go back to a non-flip phone. That being said I hope Samsung makes the following improvements and IMHO these changes would make this the perfect phone:
1.) A larger outer screen to allow MUCH more usage with the phone closed.
2.) A better camera. The current camera isn't bad, but it could definitely be better. Add an optical zoom as well.
3.) A little bit better battery life. It is better than previous generations, but it still could be a little better.
4.) A less slippery exterior. This thing is slippery and could easily slip out of someone's hand.
5.) A less stiff hinge. It needs to open easier with one hand. It should be easy, smooth and seemless, and the screen touch capability halted while the phone is being opened. I sometimes inadvertently tap a button while opening the phone. The phone cannot be opened by the sides only. YOU HAVE to touch the top portion of the screen to push it open once you get the two halves separated. This has caused the accidental activation of applications. If the screen were easier to open by using the sides only, this would not be an issue. It needs to remain closed when closed, but EASILY opened.
#5 is what I was worried about.. I still haven't decided if I want to get this phone
At the risk of exposing myself as a technophope retard, can this phone do facetime calls?
@@Dilly972 No. Only an iPhone can use the Facetime program. This is an Android phone. There are Android apps that can do the same thing though.
@@shadowphantom2567 Thanks 🙂
Been an iphone user ever since iphone 5 and i switched from iphone 13 pro max to zflip 4 because im just tired of apple icloud, its bluetooth that only works on apple products and its limitations esp with transferring files. I have to admit my life became easier plus i use this phone too to shoot fast moving objects and that it's very compact. Battery life is good too. I love thr camera as well, it had so many features. Apple just became so boring for me. I have been having so much fun with this phone and a lot of people find it adorable they alwYs light up when they see my phone! Taking videos in public are also made easy with its flip feature , i can place it in top of anywhere and use palm recognition without having to set the timer! The efficiency with this phone cannot be compared with iphone's repetitive design. The photos from this phone are also good
I’ve been wanting this phone on and off since the 1st iteration and was really considering it before I watched this video. All I have to say is you’ve convinced me, I need the fun of this phone in my life instead of the boredom of my IPhone.
I was trying to decide between the S23 and the flip 4, now I am convinced that I want the flip4. I really miss having a flip phone. I love the idea that I can put it in my jacket or hoody pocket without it falling out. Thanks for the review!
I am also deciding which to pick! How are you liking it so far?
I had upgraded from a 6 year old LG V20 to the flip 4, so on top of the quantum leap in performance the form factor makes me feel I will never go back to a non folding phone. I think I will hold onto it as long as it lasts, hopefully at least 3 or 4 years, then snag a ZFold or competing device once it truly becomes the one device does all platform it can be.
Just got the 4, my 1st flip and loving it so far. Love the size & features. Been using an iPhone since I don’t really remember, but the transition isn’t too bad. Ordered a case from amazon, hate it, gotta try again. Anyone have any suggestions for a case, and should I also get a screen protector? Thank you for this video.
Go get a clear one with a ring and a magsafe ring. And also get a magsafe compatible power bank.
With this, you get to showcase your phone's design, it will be easier to hold the phone using the ring, and the magsafe case ring will make it easier for you to make a much needed emergency charge to your Flip when on the go.
There's alot of cute cases on burga if your wanting a stylish protective case. But If your wanting something super cute I've noticed alot of cute cases on aliexpress
Casetify! I love their cases ♡
It already has a built in screenprotecter, but eventually you'll have to send your phone in to Samsung to have it replaced over time.
I'm currently using the ZFlip3. I absolutely love it and I look forward to the 4. I have tiny hands so it is so nice not to have to struggle with larger phones. I love the flip feature for my handbag. It just is a all around better phone. Besides when I use in public IPhone users are so impressed but they try hard to deny it. It's just a fun slick phone with a ton of functionality that I have come to rely on and enjoy. Thanks for your review.
I have small hands too do u suggest this for daily use like continuous calling n chats ? Is it too heavy ?
@rameesakhan5079 hello and absolutely not it's perfect. It's not heavy. You can actually talk with the phone. No problems in that way. I think my problems sometimes are how the updates come thru and understanding what that new update means for my phone. It's really a pretty resilient phone. I'm at the end of payoff this phone and looking forward to purchasing the next series.
@@ramonabridgett9058 is this a curved phone; i used bing ai ,it said this is the phone closest to Galaxy S8's edge design? or is it like the apple iPhone- completely flat? Some sites said while not curved it has a slight curved to it; I wanna buy it because flip phones fit in pocket easily and I can get this in amazon for 350$ but the curved aspect is like a main reason why I want a phone like that😭😭
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 😢
If you used a credit card to pay for it when you purchased it, just dispute the transaction. Thank me later. :)
i had the same issue with my screen when i close it it stopped coming back on when i opended it back up about 4 months old had to send it to samsung to get it fixed had samsung phones all my life but never had issues with them as far as that it is a good phone just hope it doesnt take long to fix cause im stuck without a phone at the moment
My Flip 4 had been great. Only wish it had a telephoto lens and more usable cover screen, but Cover Launcher does add functionality.
Only thing that makes me nervous about my flip 3 is getting thin cracks along the seam. I'm upgrading to the flip 4 while it is considered a non issue but I love everything else about my flip phone.
Had for 3 months and suddenly when I opened it a black stripe just pop out in the middle of the screen, right where the hinge is. It started to spread out and the whole screen got blocked out. Happily was on its warranty and returned it to the seller. Was fun to use but its a very sensitive phone.
My girlfriend went through three phones and each one, the screen went permanently black
Thank you for pinting the camera at the phone instead of your face like the other channels do.
I feel like the lack of a telephoto and USB 3 / Dex is just so that they have something easy to add for the Flip 5. Otherwise they'd have to find ways to add some more features while trying to keep the form factor.
I remember them saying dex was a heat issue. And my 20 ultra gets hot so I kinda buy it. But I also wouldn't be surprised if you were right cause it's looking like optimized rn
It would be great to have telephoto and dex, if they give those features it would be a great improvement as they also have to deal with the crease, front larger display, battery, etc
I've been using it more than two month and it's soo great..Screen protection was put as soon as i bought it and condition is so accurate. So happy by using it..being in love day by day actually❤
I picked up a Flip 3 when the 4 was announced for $300 and i dont think i can ever go back to a standard form phone.
I just got the Z Flip 3 also
Recently checked out prices for last year's foldables myself and was shocked to see how affordable they are. Makes me excited knowing more people can enjoy them now!
How has it healed up? I'm thinking about getting the 4 now
Have & love the Z Fold 3 but after 6 months went back to my S21 Ultra for that 10x optical lens camera. Love the fold feature and would love to get the Flip, but the camera set up on the Ultra models is too good (for me) to give up.
I chose the z fold 4 over the z flip 4 because I heard thar the folding screen was still not perfected on the flip (but it is on the fold?). Aside from that, the fold I purchased has 1tb of storage and that I need. But the flip has really got me interested. I love the little outer display. That being said, the fold 4 really ticks all the boxes for me. The flip would be just a "fun" phone,, - easy to carry, cute cases, etc - with almost all the charm and usefulness of the z fold and the s series galaxy phones I already own. If given a z flip, I would not turn it down, but I can't see spending money on an extra phone right now....someday maybe. It's just so....cute!
The flip 4 still had issues of the flip 3. My flip 4 display issues started just a week after a year and now I will have to spend a good amount to fix it. If u do plan to buy this phone, then pls take a one year extended warranty as the hinge issue is there, and most issues will only happen after one year. For now, I am using the phone as a non-flip and that works, but if I do close the phone, I have to restart to get it started as the display does not come on.
I got my Z Flip 4 around Black Friday 2022, and I could not be happier.
...well, except for the fact that EVERY PHONE FROM THIS YEAR HAS NO HEADPHONE JACK
I am so impressed by the quality video taken by that iPhone 13 Pro Max. Stunning! Thought you were using a profesional camera.
My husband decided to spoiled me with this phone. So far works very well. I love it. I couldnt trade ot to an Iphone
I just got my Z Flip 4 today and I love it.
I'm thinking about saving my money to get this phone. I really want this phone but I don't want to bug my parents. I have a good phone right now and will use this phone until it won't work before I get this cool flip phone.
He’s made me fall in love with this phone! Cannot wait to switch!
But the big question. Can I hang up on a call by folding the phone?
Got one ordered. My ancient Galaxy S7 is still trucking along, but its time for a new one.
Just got mine last month. So far a happy Z Flip 4 user here ❤❤❤
About 10 years ago I had a Galaxy Mega it was about the same size screen as this phone but it couldn't fold in half.Oh my gosh I love the folding capabilities of the newer samsung phones.
Great and thorough review. I have ordered a Flip 4 and am looking forward to using a phone that is small enough to fit in my front pocket as opposed to something large and vulnerable in my back pocket. Based on your review I will probably limit the need to open the phone regularly as my most important function will be on the front scree. Thanks and will let you know my thoughts once I receive and use.
I bought my Flip4 2 months ago and love it ❤️
If i had to nitpick one thing i did not like about this phone, though, it's the fact that this slippery phone needs a case. Outside of the case, I am scared to death of dropping it!
One the thing that made me get this phone is the physical fingerprint scanner, seriously samsung needs to bring it back to all their phones
I'm getting Samsung Galaxy z 4 flip when I watched this video I'm was so excited 😮❤😊 thank you mate 😊❤
Great review, I really want to go to the flip but when tested out in the store the camera comparison against my S21 Ultra just didn't ait right with me. I hope that if a new flip is brought out that the camera specs are higher as I feel the flip would be a good to have to test it out in own day to day life.
My S9 just died after ab 4 - 5 years of use. now I'm really considering the flip 4 as a replacement. is it a good idea? (because ive heard alot of screen and crease issues)
I would get the s22 plus that's a pretty good Samsung phone now IV you do get a Flip 4 GET warranty you will probably need it. I'm using a OnePlus 9 phone as my everyday phone and although I want a flip 4 there's still that part of me that isn't ready yet for reliability concerns but if I had a flip 4 I'd get a backup phone just incase if I used it as my daily but at the end of the day it's up to you what you end up doing
@@Crazyreviewer123 the zlip 4 is really durable lol.
TH-camr tested it.
I was about to switch to S22 Ultra from S21 Ultra but then I gave Z Flip 4 a chance just to get a new experience and loving it. I'm using it for a month now and haven't got a regret moment besides that I have to use it in a certain angle so I won't see the folding area at the middle of the screen. All in all I am giving it an 8.5/10 :D
sir.. can u rate ur s21 ultra.... juz wan to compare..
@izara arlana oh it's a beauty! I wasn't planning to change phones because s21 is a good phone. With heavy usage, my phone usually lasts more than a day
Thanks for this review! Ive been on the fence about switching to this phone and treating myself, but you've convinced me that it'll be an upgrade to my Pixel 4xl! I'm excited to buy this as soon as i graduate college as a gift to myself!
I am considering getting a Z Flip 5 this year...
Me too
I just ordered mine. I love having one of each. One iPhone and one android.
Saw it on display at target and its honestly really tempting. Very cool but i dont want a semi fragile phone
Had mine 6 months. It's not fragile at all as I had the same fear. Hinge feels like a tank and when it's closed you can rest assured it's safer than regular phones.
I have an s21 but I'm considering switching to a z flip I think I'll wait until the next generation is out though just to see if they've made some more improvements
I have a OnePlus 9 as my everyday phone and I love it. With that being said if I could get the chance to get a secondary/ Weekend/ back up phone I would choose the Flip 4 for sure it's such a nice looking phone and I used it a few times it wasn't easy to stop using cause I was enjoying it. Samsung flip 4 is definitely a fun phone to use daily or as a backup phone
Old School RuneScape on the front page. Man of culture.
I will wait til the flip 5 comes out and hope they deal with the camera problem.
I'm glad someone bothered to ask about these downsides. On top of phones lesser than this having no reason to omit something like the telephoto lens still as they're just as useful as the ultrawide, but also these Z Flip phones still lacking DeX support to this day. I would think that it has something to do with the form factor of it being a flip phone but it's still a Samsung phone nonetheless. If the Fold iterations can do this with no issue, these Flips should have no issue at all.
Do you think it’s a more practical phone for a mom of a 2 month old baby or is the constant flipping going to be a “multitasking-mom” issue??
For example: holding the baby with a hand and trying to flip the phone with the other😅
How is the screen flexibility and phone case durability?
Great video, very informative and definitely answered all of my questions. Thanks for the great video!
about to have mine deliver, thanks for the review
The little rubber pegs missing at the bottom -- are you concerned with water damage? My right one is hanging on by a thread. Samsung said to replace it, they'd have to replace the whole screen. :/
Will they release flip 5 this year? I don't know if I should buy flip4 now or wait for flip5.
I love my flip 3. Just got my flip 4 today. No complaints yet except, You would think that for $1,000 phone, they would throw in a wall charger and headphones/ear buds.
I am using samsung a51 and planning to buy this phone nextmonth.I just love the size, so I am looking forward to it.Thanks for the video.😁😊😇🤩
Honestly I just really want to hang up by closing the phone on people 😂
That's a toggleable option on this phone! I have it on lol
I liked the Flip 3 and I like the Flip 4 even more. Gone are the days of battery anxiety (which were there with the Flip 3). And now the high point - after the December 2022 update, the battery life is even more impressive. I'm getting not 10% drop of battery per 1hr of screen time, but 7-8% drop. Screen off with 2 SIM cards (one e-sim) takes not 3%, but 1-1,5% per hour. This thing is now difficult to actually discharge, based on my usage patterns. Someone had learnt a lesson at Samsung 😉example from today: screen time 1hr, total usage 8hrs41min, battery at 81%.
Does it have expandable memory like other Samsungs? All my iPhone users (almost everyone I know) are always complaining about having to make space for more photos... I have over 10,000 photos on my phone in my memory card. I take tons of pictures. I dont care about the 100x zoom because the pictures arent great unless you can hold the phone steady, but it HAS to have expandable memory and a kickass cameras/camera features for me to even consider it!
My z flip 4 arrives today switching from the iPhone xs , I hope I don't regret it
I love how compact this phone is I'm thinking of switching to it over iPhone 14 pro. And the purple variant is super cool!!
U will regret it trust me
I still have the Flip 3, and I still love it.
Thank you for this update. I must say I had mine 8 days and thr hinge broke. It was still usable just won't open completely..I am replacing it with the same and just hope I don't have the same problem..I do Love the phone especially front features.
That's one of the few things holding me back from using these flip phones. But if I could use it but have a backup phone ready to go I'd definitely pick up the flip 4 but Im not sure if I trust it to be my everyday phone maybe my backup/ Weekend phone for fun. Someday I'll get a flip just not the right time yet
i'm getting a refurbished z flip 4 for $300 from amazon. I'm so excited to get it when it arrives.
Would you call it a proper flagship replacement? I still don't see it as such since they always got less features than the S series just to accomodate the flip nature of it.
Edit: casually just got to the part where you do mention its 90% oh well, maybe next gen they will get it right
Not a proper one, no. But if you're willing to make some sacrifices like losing a good zoom camera and a wider display in exchange for a much more pocketable/everyday friendly phone then this is the one. Comes down to personal preference by the end of it
its more of a replacement for regular iphones since iphones even pros doesnt have much features like dex
@@jael4132
Dex is missing in the flip tho
@@GAMIR_SFM thats what i said. i said iphones doesnt even have dex. even the pro and pro max. thats why theyre replacement of iphones cause theres not much features
Watching Gordon destroy people both logically and emotionally is always one of the best experiences. And
i’ve been thinking of getting this phone and saying goodbye to my iPhone 11 pro max. i think i’m officially convinced.
We in the same boat man in so skeptical
I have an iPhone 13 mini and the flip 4 and I use both. But I love and use my flip so much more. It's fun, personal, and refreshing. You won't regret it.
@@tTauceti I picked up my flip 4 yesterday 🙈🙈
@@moonnlightbb ahh awesome! I hope you love it as much as we all do :)
@Tearra Barnes this far I'm obsessed but it's a lot of getting used too 😭
I wonder what the flip 5 will do. We need these features back
Thank you for the review.
Do you have any feedback on the picture quality (night shots, etc.)?
Cheers.
Curious if you’ve had an iPhone and how it compares
😅😅😅 got my z flip 4 today ❤❤❤ love it ❤😊
Nice review.
Can you use an S pen on the Galaxy Z Flip 4?
Just got mine 2 days ago upgrade from s21. An love it so far n so easy to use. Just had 1 mistake with the sim but got it sorted
I was exactly the same took me ages to put the sim in 😂
is there any numbers for the fold part ?
my biggest drawback with this phone, and with any phone without this feature is, the lack of usb 3.0 support. I love having a phone that doubles down as an external usb storage device. With how compact this phone is, it would be absolutely perfect for me.
I notice you use the left hand when holding the flip 4. I believe the pressure on the left peg, led to its detachment. It happened to me as well, although mine is still there (just loose). Samsung repair center said no problem, but I ma not happy with that.
Wait, they provide replaceable s pen tips??? My tabled didn't have those
Such a good review! Sold it for me 🙏
Does it come with AirPod and chargers
hello it's same size of hawaii nova 3i ?
Do you see huge changes coming to the Flip5? I have an opportunity to buy a Flip4, but I'm wondering if I should just wait until the Flip5. If there won't be significant changes/improvements, I'd like to go ahead and buy the 4 because I'm so excited to get a new phone. Any thoughts?
i’m the exact same!
Just wait. It should release by July.
The phone is great but I would recommend waiting for flip5 since this one had some issue with screen/hinge and they might fix that!
Im sad that Samsung got rid of the SD card slots. I used it a lot when I had Samsung. My trying to hold off on getting another phone because I’ve only had my iPhone for 2 years. But I really like the flip it’s really different and I always liked Android for it customization options
Always been a Samsung user never ever owned an iPhone. Z flip is by far the best Samsung phone I have owned hands down
6:14 what? why is it so big? is that the phone?
I have had the Flip4 since 8.14.22. I really like the design... BUT I HATE that it has no SD port.
(1) Smart Switch did not recognize my phone from my Macbook Pro. (This would not be an issue IF I could use an SD card.)
After DAYS of Samsung tech support, Google-Fi sent a replacement phone. All seemed good, until it auto-updated from Android-12 to Android-13 -- and deleted ALL of my preferences. Then the screen kept going black and Not awaking. Also, in order to end a call, I have to OPEN the phone. What?? After Many hours again with Samsung, Google-Fi sent a 2nd replacement. IT didn't work in MANY ways!!! I am now on phone #4. Sadly, there is no way to keep Android-12 on the phone.
Conclusion: This phone (at least My 3, so far) does not function well on Adroid-13. I am VERY frustrated and phone #4 is yet to be set up.
For future design, I would also like a larger front screen, and an SD CARD PORT!!!
BTW, I got this great case that is thin and has a metal finger loop. I like that a lot.
been an iphone user for last 13 years and just got switched to z flip 4 just cause i was just so bored with small small updated each year and with nothing new i was just ocassionally usiing my phone but now i got something new to play around, yes its not something more better over my 14 pro but i am liking something different and eye catchy.
You're the second youtube channel I've seen that lost the screen bumper. The other guy is a Brazilian TH-camr called "Gabriel de Pinho" and Samsung replaced the whole housing, screen and battery of the phone because they don't have replacements for the bumpers lol.
Seriously? I hope this will not be a widespread issue
@@ShaneSymonds Yeah, he went to a Samsung Customer Service here in my city and Samsung asked 48 hours to see what they could do. Then they called him saying that the whole body, screen and battery would have to be replaced because they don't have replacements for those tiny little bumpers lol. It took 4 days for the service to be completed and they charged him nothing because the phone was under warranty.
Good review and reflective of my use. Telephoto lens, Dex and more usable cover screen. But Samsung’s cover launcher app provides more uses. As I recall, the Galaxy Tab S6
Lite didn’t support for Dex, but added it
Does the screen get easily damaged from pocket lint or dust?
Late to comment this but respect to the osrs on your phone lol. Curious what the battery life is like when playing that all day
Thank you for such a user friendly review!
Watching this while choosing a new phone, not sure wheter to buy this one or Flip 5 already :) What do you think?
Is the switch from s20+ to Z flip 4 worth it?
I have not really bought into the YT creator's hardcore flip hype, as when I bought one to see the woods from the trees, I was underwhelmed. That is probably just me; my phone is just for getting stuff done, not for fun (humbug, I know). So the Flip3 was more of a nuisance than helpful. On contemplating why it became apparent that Samsung's flawed design with the tiny front display made the Flip fail for me. I have seen OPPO's take, or it's Find N2, and if they get a global release, I can see myself trying again.
Fundamentally, if you are going to make a flip phone work well, open and closed, then you need a front display that is usable and useful. The Flip4 front display seems half-hearted and undeserved of a $1000 phone. It is okay for those sold on flip phones, as it's the Flip4 or nothing (in the US), but for those who understand the form, Samsung needs to address this issue (hopefully Flip5).
Fair points. I think the Flip 4 at $850 is currently the best option out there for flipping foldables but still room for improvement with the front display for sure. I am eyeing up Oppo's new options but lack of availability around the world is a limiting factor, and I was not blown away by the first Oppo Find N.
