Man I love it this review I just switched from the 13 pro max was tired of such a big display and mainly tired of being in that APPLE ecosystem got my flip 4 loving it and that crease it is what is it glad my phone can fit in my pockets
personally love them both! i think my favorite would have to be the z flip though! i find the flip so much more efficient? if that make any sense. but i still love the fold, they both have there own little perks and features that make me LOVE them both!
Just got my flip4 1 day ago. Wanted to get it last year but finally got it. Totally love it! It's so pretty! As for battery 1 day of normal use while WFH by the end of the day I still have 50% left. The crease doesn't bother me at all you barely even see it when use. Would be interesting to experience how it's like used when im outside. Edit: From 6:30am fully charged till 7:30pm left with 25% battery. In between using spotify, youtube, check notifications here and there, used it for 1hr meeting. I think it held up pretty good for a full day use. Finally can put my phone in my back pocket without half of the phone sticking out.
I bought the Z Flip 4 at last! I was a long time iPhone user but this year I decided to separate my way from Apple, mostly because of the killing of iPhone mini and the unjust price bump on iPhone 14 lineup. Foldables are the future and sadly, for Apple innovation is the dynamic island… and the Always On display!
@@karlG3375 no. I had the 12 mini and it's battery, that was always bad, now is at 89% health. And, no, I will not spend another 700€ for the last years 13 mini. I chose to spend 999€ for a much better phone with the latest specs and a better form factor.
@@forneverarrow good luck with hardware service, late Android updates, and less security. The grass is always greener on the other side until Android hits you in the face lol
@@ArthropodSpidey - Dude, you're so salty, I thought I was in the ocean. At least when we buy an Android, we're not buying a model that looks the same as the one from 5 years ago. Apple is way too slow to adapt to newer technology, so it's still stuck in its brick form-factor. I never had an issue with security in the decade that I've been with Android. Hardware service and updates are perfectly fine too, especially when you consider that Android allows you to stay with a version for much longer than Apple. I have an old 2016 Android phone that I use in conjunction with a 2019 S10e that I got last year. Both allow me to run current apps. You don't get that same flexibility with Apple who loves to slow down its software, lock out its users, and monopolizes the option to repair. With Android, I'm not a slave to one ecosystem, I can customize to my heart's content, I have expandable storage on both my phones, one usb-c cable charger for all my tech gear, plus I get features like Always On Display, reverse wireless charging, fingerprint scanners, headphone jacks, split-screen multitasking, and so on. Android was also the first to beat Apple to the market with other innovations like Qi, fast charging, NFC, 4G LTE, 5G, OLED displays, face-recog, in-screen fingerprint sensors, water resistance, multi-lens cameras, true multitasking, copy + paste, multiwindow support. Apple is way behind. If you wanna stick to your fruity brand, do you. The rest of us are happy enjoying our little green robot.
I'm a Flip 3 owner and yes the battery life on this thing is mad awful. I had to bring around a power bank and charge it three times. I can't wait to upgrade. I wanna see how the battery life holds up and I like the new blue. It gives me the S22 Ultra/iPhone 13 Pro blue vibes.
I traded in my flip 3 for S22+ mainly due to the awful battery life. It was almost unusable as far as my use case is concerned. I had to charge the damn thing like 4 to 5 times daily.
Thank you for this! I'll upgrade this afternoon ♥️ I'm a medium user and while I have chargers everywhere I go and with me, the flip 3's battery can be a bit of a pain. I'm super happy this got improved! I'm also obsessed with my flip 3, don't think I am ever going to get back at regular phones, foldables are so comfortable to carry... Plus you don't lose screen quality and speed. I'm loving it!
The main 2 things that kept me from getting one is the battery life and the durability of the hinge\screen. So far on what I've been hearing is that they've fixed the battery issue;so now if they've done better on the screen\hinge then I'll think of getting one. Still paying off my S22+ so it'll give me time to deside by then. Would love to see more future videos in it's durability.
@@rachellight1186 haven't had any problems and still looks perfect no cracks or anything. It's not as fragile as you may think. I don't swing it open with one hand so that may be helping. Because it does close I know the screen isn't getting scratched or won't shatter like regular glass if dropped. So I think it's better then glass. It really is a great phone though. I highly recommend.
I will be reviewing this soon. Keep in mind that the flip 4 is more durable. If you have a 1 year old flip and they are giving a good trade in, you might want to take it. The Durability improvements are not too noticeable right away but it may impact you in the long run. And the bigger battery is a big key
Im loving it. I got mine for 100 bucks with my zflip 3 trade in. First time buying in is expensive but after that trade in and upgrade is definitely worth it
omg, Thao, is that your new baby? if it is, CONGRATS!!! I pre-ordered the Fllip 4 in Blue and still waiting for it to ship 😄 i heard some very good news about its battery life and can't wait to test it for myself.
I got the blue one! I love it! I switched from a Pixel 3 🤣 so the battery capacity is amazing in my eyes. I've been waiting for it to come out before getting a z flip. The crease doesn't bother me at all and like you I love to read articles while folded
Your baby is so cute!!! I have been watching another TH-camrs called the ACE family and for many years, I have seen kids growing up. I feel like we will all see your kid will be growing up when we keep supporting watching your videos.
If you're getting the Flip 4, just be wary of the screen protector bubbling up at the crease. I finally removed mine on my Flip 3 today at Ubreakifix AKA Asurion for free. Took only 2 minutes. It was only getting bigger and annoying to look at. We'll see how it holds up without one but I do take really care of my phones and Gorilla Glass Victus is very scratch resistant. Had I got the screen protector replacement, it would just bubble up again after 6 to 12 months depending on much I use it which surprisingly isn't much. I think if you only use one phone, you need to go for the Flip 4 over 3 just from the battery life alone. Since I carry two phones daily, I don't need the battery life upgrade. My biggest concern without a screen protector is if the black cracks start developing on the crease? From what I've read, Flip 3 is durable enough without it unlike the previous two gens. It is water-resistant and the display was much stronger than the previous ones, so I'm guessing most likely not. Be a rare case if it happens. If it does crack, then c'est la vie. They're just material things. Will have it recycled. Warranty expires tomorrow. Will be using my other four phones that still works fine in 2022. I do believe Flip 3 will hold up well without a screen protector. If it doesn't, then I know for sure it will be the last Z Flip I'll ever buy. I'll stick to the Motorola Razr line. I much prefer their cover displays. My Flip 3's crease does feel less shallower without the screen protector. It actually feels nicer. Our screen protector for these flip phones is basically when they're closed.
I have the Flip 3 and I also removed the screen protector for the same reason. I've been using it daily without the protection for about 6 months now and I haven't noticed anything different than what I was used to before removing it.
i am a Z flip 3 user, and im sooo happy with the phone. i also agree with you, the most appealing function that this phone offers me is their flex mode. where you dont have to hold the phone all the time and just put on the table and make it as a small laptop version. and when the top screen is angled to directly the level of your eyes, yes satisfaction 😏
have tons of videos reviewing Z FLIP 4 but I only wait for yours. Very detail. you give all answer to my considers buying this phone. thank you so much for wonderful review.
Thanks Thao! I'm using the first z flip and still loving the phone despite its known shortcomings, I think I'll hold to it for one more year and probably get the flip or fold 5 next 🙂
Hi Mrs. Thao I purchased the Samsung galaxy s22 ultra after watching your review on it. I'm happy with my purchase. I love your videos. Keep up the good work 👍👌!!!
Another amazing video. I would say if you own a flip 3. I would recommend upgrading through samsung as they are giving 900 for your flips 3 to flips 4 so really only 100 bucks for much needed improvements where it counts. Plus some additional pre order incentives were available as well.
I HAVE THE FLIP4 AND IT IS THE BEST. BEST PURCHASE FOR 2022. NO REGRETS AT ALL. I AM SUPPOSED TO GET THE IPHONE 14 PRO MAX BUT SINCE IT IS OUT OF STOCK, I GAVE FLIP4 A TRY AND I AM LOVING IT. IPHONE USER HERE SINCE 2009.
nice review. i had flip3 and upgraded as well. i work in mobile market and I've had a new flagship phone every year. This is my favorite phone in like 10 years or more, and IMO, the most revolutionary phone since the OG iphones. I prefer android with snapdragon, so this phone is the one!!!
Great video! I don't use my phone much these days since I have an iPad, but how long would you say the flip 3 battery's life will last with a total of 1 hour non-stop usage(that's about how long I use my phone when I'm out-- only use it to messaging apps and use Waze/maps).
Love ur review! Much better to understand from a user's perspective and female too!! 🙌 love it 😀 😍 I'm a zflip 3 owner and not sure to upgrade but probably will stick with my current one for now..😍❤️
Thao thank you for your amazing review! just curious does the z4 flip have a good microphone ... i do concerts and love my s8+. your review has me intrigued.
Nice to see up and about again and healthy. Don't overdo it and appreciate the time with your little one, they grow up so fast. Such a cutie btw ❤️ Regarding the phone I am a bit disappointed, was hoping for more improvements, like maybe an added 3x camera to make the mobe from my S21U.
Hi there) First of all, thank you so much for the video) I really enjoyed watching it! So I'm having probably one of the biggest decision of my life right now 😅😅😅 I'm considering between the S22 ultra and the flip 4. Personally I like the flip more, but my only considers are the battery and the screen. I hope it'll last until the end of the day, although I'm not a heavy user. I use my phone only for studying, social media, and some basic stuff. But the screen cracking is freaking me out. I know it's 50/50. But I saw that you own a perfect flip 3. So I want to ask, if you had any issues with the screen and if not, how did you manage to keep it? Or should I just take the s22 ultra? Would you recommend the flip for a long term phone? Cause I don't want to waste my money for a phone that is going to last only for a year (hopefully). Please give me some advise 🙏🙏🙏
That baby is going to be an internet sensation. I feel like I check my age by watching this beautiful baby growing up. Thanks for sharing your family and your opinions.
Love your reviews and anothe reason to upgrade could be because of the new cpu. Which is better in terms of handling thermal issue while heavy task and even for gaming
Thanks, you helped me decide between swapping my S9 for S22 or Flip 4 - it's definitely a Flip 4 on my Christmas list. Avoid sand though? I live in the desert!!
Hi Thao, Greg here. ;-) Just wanted to thank you for the great videos. To me, your reviews are equal to Dave2D and Marques Brownlee for quality and relevance. I'm a tech consultant in the U.S. and recommend your channel (among a few others) for people to subscribe to. Some of your reviews are super relevant to an upcoming purchase or advise I need to consider for a customer, others I watch to learn about new devices I'm not encountering regularly. In addition to the content itself, your videos are well done, so being a creator myself, it's a good way to be exposed to best practices and quality content. Have a great day!
Awesome 👌 video, I owned the flip 3 and was very satisfied 😌. Traded it in and got that crazy 900 dollar rebate. The flip 4 is an incredible device with a wonderful design and I love all of the improvements.
I've waited for this review!! I got my Z Flip 3 a few months back and I love it and couldn't go back to another Smartphone. I only had a problem with the cover screen. it started peeling at the edges where you're folding the phone. Did you have a similar issue?
@@drakephysecron6775 I took my phone to Samsung (in europe) and they replaced the screen protector. I'm just confused because one employee told me I could use the flip without it and another one told me not to touch it by myself because I'll loose my guaranty 🤷♀️
I would really love to hear the reasoning behind not adding Dex on this $1000 phone... It looks so fun, I love the fact that it provides a big screen and then folds in half ... Just can't get enough of the Flip. But the lack of Dex is a huge no-no for me. And it's not like you can just get the Fold4 instead - it's almost twice as expensive and i don't like the form factor nearly as much... Anyway, i really wish Samsung would stop making these ridiculous compromises. This is a high end device, why not act like it?
According to Samsung, it's due to "lack of heatproof performance in the structure" which I guess makes sense considering how much is crammed into the phone.
I haven't loved a phone as much I loved my flip 3 since the Note 3. The only issue that I have with the flip 4 is that it's a little thicker. Not much of one. Definitely not something I would deduct a point for, and certainly a nice trade off for that battery boost. But my feeling with the flip series is that the more compact they are capable of being while being able to present a I nice large screen, the better. For me, that's what its all about with this line of phones.
This is my first flip phone and the camera quality doesn't bother me because it's better than my last phone 😂 the battery life definitely made me finally want to get the phone. It lasts me quite a while before chargung it. I alsp love how it can fit in all my bags or my pockets nicely. The only time I see people go like "the fold factor doesn't seem appealing because I can fit my phone in my pocket" are typically men who have larger pockets.
@@salwazhr107 well I only got it because they had that trade in deal for $1000 for my old phone. The $1000 is still a bit steep. Idk what you can get the newest Samsung ultra for but if it's cheaper that might still be better 🤷♀️ I really enjoy my phone though
Is this your prime phone? Still have a S10e, thinking about "upgrading" but not really worried about most things people find essential. Just TH-cam, texting and calling. Is it worth the upgrade?
loved my flip 3 for half the year but realized although it fits in my pocket better, it bulges out more than a regular phone. it also feels heavier in the pocket. battery life did suck and many people did have the screen start flickering on them after a year. i realized i needed a smaller phone so went with the pixel 6a, the asus zenfone 9 was too pricey. I will miss the cool flex mode and photo preview in the back when taking photos though! Those two features were a head turner.
Excellent review, your videos are the best. Videos like yours are so valuable to us as we are unable to try phones and they are at least a 2 year investment. I have placed an order for a Z Flip 4 with 512GB, I got a great deal at $14/month. Looking forward to when I can turn it on and "flip" it open. Thanks for your video
As a life-long iPhone user, I haven't stopped thinking about this phone since it was announced. I've had a 12 mini and the battery is awful & I refuse to 'upgrade' to a 13 mini because Apple have become so boring... I'll be getting the same phone plus I resent Apple for alienating those who prefer smaller phones by getting rid of their Mini line-up. I'm going to try & stick with my 12 mini for one more year until the Flip 5 as everything other than the battery is fine... but man... everyday I think about/watch videos to do with this phone! I love it!
Just got mine, had the flip 3, traded my ultra 22 and made it a no brainer, 200 after trade in, which included tax, if you can trade in your old phone and it has value, definitely worth it! No other phone has this wow factor, period!
@@viru3708 I really like the phone, the biggest issue I had with the z flip 3 was battery life, not the case with the 4. Camera is slightly better. You don't buy this phone for the specs, you buy this phone for the "wow" factor and to turn heads. I'll say this, if you talk a lot on the phone it is much more comfortable holding after a long conversation and the fact that it can fold at any angle is kind of amazing.
Many people online have reported screens cracking at the hinge when actually it is air bubbles under the screen protector. The UTG glass is actually quite durable. Let's hope the new adhesive on the screen protector sticks better
was beginning to think you were skipping this batch from unpacked. thanks for the review. already got the trio from preorders, watch 5 pro and buds 2 pro along with the phone. too many deals to pass up. upgrading from flip 3. been loving it so far.
Just got my free Flip 4 from T-mobile by adding a line to my Magenta Max plan... rose gold... Thing is slipperier than snot on ice, wow... fortunately there's a free cover available via credit, so gonna take advantage of the ring case - I think. It really is easy to get attached to it; heck I've not even put the SIM in yet! I'd liked the fold but man, the price.
Do you think it's worth getting the zflip 3 or 4? I just use my phone for texting, calling and scrolling social media lol. I always keep my Galaxy a52 5g on power saving mode and it lasts me about a day and a half. Almost 2, with less usage. I'm not worried about the phone lasting even a day and having to charge it at night. Is this phone worth it? I love the flip aspect of it but don't know if it's an upgrade, compared to my a52 5g
Had my Z Flip 3 for about 2 years , Monday got the Z Flip 4, Both are 256 gb with Verizon. Its is a improvement. I seen the release pictures of the Z flip 5 with the large front screen. FYI U R Cute. Please where is the setting for split screen and the mouse pad pointer you are showing at 6:40 I cant find it? found it when u open Labs?
The baby & dog are sooooo cute! I have LG v60 Thinq (big & heavy with dual screen). I really want the Z Flip 4, but I'm very worried by all of the stories I've seen of owners complaining about the crease getting worse. Thoughts on that, please?
Oh shit. I don't think I knew you were a Toronto Reviewer, nice to see more TO representation. Your review on the Z Flip last year was really useful. I bought it, loved it, returned it though (because of the battery). I got the iPhone 13. And now I kind of want to trade it in for the Z Flip 4. But the trade in bonus of the iPhone stinks in compared to if I kept the Z3 🥲🥲🥲
Do you think it’s at the point where it’s a reliable daily driver? I e been looking to get an android as a secondary for a while but I’ve been waiting until the flips were solid enough to use without being extra cautious with it.
@@jamessamson1374 not sure what you mean. i previously used the first version fold, where the screen protector oleophobic coating wore off after less than a year. On the flip 3, the most common issue is the screen protector peeling off. As for the screen itself - no issues, dead pixels, or color gradations so far.
Thao your reviews are the bomb!! I really really enjoy them so thank you and keep'em coming please! Now, another thing that I would consider the bomb...definitely the track pad and cursor on the flip-4, so cool!! Gotta say, Samsung continues to innovate.
✌️Are you flippin’ or folding? My Fold4 review is up next!

have tons of videos reviewing Z FLIP 4 but I only wait for yours. Very detail. you give all answer to my considers buying this phone. thank you so much for wonderful review.
Thanks Thao! I'm using the first z flip and still loving the phone despite its known shortcomings, I think I'll hold to it for one more year and probably get the flip or fold 5 next 🙂
You simply the best couldn't wait for your review 👍♥️🙏😘🤗❤️ thank you Thao love to u and the little one ❣️❤️😘🤗😘🤗
Hi Mrs. Thao I purchased the Samsung galaxy s22 ultra after watching your review on it. I'm happy with my purchase. I love your videos. Keep up the good work 👍👌!!!
Next time you go food shopping I'll be waiting here with baited breath for your posting
@@ytr3488 - You are weird 😐
As usual you convinced me .. I just pre-order my first zflip 4 .. this is my first flip phone ever. 😘
Another amazing video. I would say if you own a flip 3. I would recommend upgrading through samsung as they are giving 900 for your flips 3 to flips 4 so really only 100 bucks for much needed improvements where it counts. Plus some additional pre order incentives were available as well.
I HAVE THE FLIP4 AND IT IS THE BEST. BEST PURCHASE FOR 2022. NO REGRETS AT ALL.
I AM SUPPOSED TO GET THE IPHONE 14 PRO MAX BUT SINCE IT IS OUT OF STOCK, I GAVE FLIP4 A TRY AND I AM LOVING IT.
IPHONE USER HERE SINCE 2009.
nice review. i had flip3 and upgraded as well. i work in mobile market and I've had a new flagship phone every year. This is my favorite phone in like 10 years or more, and IMO, the most revolutionary phone since the OG iphones. I prefer android with snapdragon, so this phone is the one!!!
Congratulations on you new baby and great review Samsung is taking tech to the future.
Good to see you doin' your thing. Looking forward to getting the Flip 4 for my wife on Friday. Congrats on the baby!
Got my flip4 on friday and I love it 💖 I was scared about the battery life but it's okay for me. Really happy I bought it.
Once your screen starts flickering and cracking You won't be happy 🤣
GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS & OPINIONS. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY!
Welcome back, Thao & congratulationson the arrivalof your beautifulbaby. I've been waiting for your review.forever
Great review!! Do you know if the flip 3 case that you have in green fit the new flip 4 device?
Great review as always.
Just trade your phone every year. Cheaper than the Samsung care.
This year I got the new one for 100 plus buds and case.
Omg finally you... I thought you didn't get the phones and other stuff, happy to see you ❣️
Great Content and Love your perspective!! ❤❤ Just Sub'ed YAY!!! 👌👌👌
Great video! I don't use my phone much these days since I have an iPad, but how long would you say the flip 3 battery's life will last with a total of 1 hour non-stop usage(that's about how long I use my phone when I'm out-- only use it to messaging apps and use Waze/maps).
Love ur review! Much better to understand from a user's perspective and female too!! 🙌 love it 😀 😍 I'm a zflip 3 owner and not sure to upgrade but probably will stick with my current one for now..😍❤️
Thao thank you for your amazing review! just curious does the z4 flip have a good microphone ... i do concerts and love my s8+. your review has me intrigued.
Nice to see up and about again and healthy.
Don't overdo it and appreciate the time with your little one, they grow up so fast. Such a cutie btw ❤️
Regarding the phone I am a bit disappointed, was hoping for more improvements, like maybe an added 3x camera to make the mobe from my S21U.
Hey Thao, thanks for the review. Would like to ask what is the wireless charger you're using?
That pink gold looks really gorgeous 😍 I'm tempted (except I'm worried about the long term durability of a folding phone)
Una volta erano cosi
Don't worry you'll probably get about a year before the screen starts flickering and cracking. That's 365 days amazing
Loved this so much Thao. Do you think I should upgrade my Original 2020 Z Flip to the 4 Version!!
Omg the baby is here 😯, I notice with the Screensaver. Congratulations and many blessings
Great review! I had every Samsung Z flip phone. Can't go without it and can't wait for my flip 4 to come.
Hi there) First of all, thank you so much for the video) I really enjoyed watching it! So I'm having probably one of the biggest decision of my life right now 😅😅😅 I'm considering between the S22 ultra and the flip 4. Personally I like the flip more, but my only considers are the battery and the screen. I hope it'll last until the end of the day, although I'm not a heavy user. I use my phone only for studying, social media, and some basic stuff. But the screen cracking is freaking me out. I know it's 50/50. But I saw that you own a perfect flip 3. So I want to ask, if you had any issues with the screen and if not, how did you manage to keep it? Or should I just take the s22 ultra? Would you recommend the flip for a long term phone? Cause I don't want to waste my money for a phone that is going to last only for a year (hopefully). Please give me some advise 🙏🙏🙏
Good review. OMG congrats on being a mother! I did not know :) Your child is so beautiful. You must be so proud. Have a great day:)
I am your diehard fan. Love you thao.
That baby is going to be an internet sensation. I feel like I check my age by watching this beautiful baby growing up. Thanks for sharing your family and your opinions.
So creepy it’s uncomfortable to read 🤢
@@ProperScottishWelcome I know I reported him.
I bet the part that resonated with you the most was when she introduced the phone As very pretty pink. I bet that brought you over the edge.
@@ytr3488 Get a life, Karen or whoever you are!
@@ProperScottishWelcome Get a life, Karen or whoever you are!
Love your reviews and anothe reason to upgrade could be because of the new cpu. Which is better in terms of handling thermal issue while heavy task and even for gaming
Congratulation with your baby! Cute. Thanks for the reviews.
Thanks, you helped me decide between swapping my S9 for S22 or Flip 4 - it's definitely a Flip 4 on my Christmas list. Avoid sand though? I live in the desert!!
S22 battery sucks, great choice 💯
great review! glad to hear about the battery life, thanks for the video!
Great video, Thao!
Fun review. I received my Fold 4 yesterday and you almost make me want the Flip instead.
Hi Thao, Greg here. ;-) Just wanted to thank you for the great videos. To me, your reviews are equal to Dave2D and Marques Brownlee for quality and relevance. I'm a tech consultant in the U.S. and recommend your channel (among a few others) for people to subscribe to. Some of your reviews are super relevant to an upcoming purchase or advise I need to consider for a customer, others I watch to learn about new devices I'm not encountering regularly. In addition to the content itself, your videos are well done, so being a creator myself, it's a good way to be exposed to best practices and quality content. Have a great day!
Fantastic comparison! I have the s21 and would like a flip phone but I think I will wait till the flip 5 😎
I've just ordered the flip 4, I have the s21. I'll come back and let you know what I think.
Well? Lol I'm about to trade my s21 ultra for this.
Great review I was waiting for this form the date of releasing 😀 👍 and congrats for the baby Madam love from India 🇮🇳
I think they improved on the crease a lot in other videos I've watched you can hardly see the crease I guess I'll have to see when I get mine today
Nah, it's still there
@@thao I feel the crease is like the iPhone notch you dont see it depending on what you are doing
Awesome 👌 video, I owned the flip 3 and was very satisfied 😌. Traded it in and got that crazy 900 dollar rebate. The flip 4 is an incredible device with a wonderful design and I love all of the improvements.
I've waited for this review!! I got my Z Flip 3 a few months back and I love it and couldn't go back to another Smartphone.
I only had a problem with the cover screen. it started peeling at the edges where you're folding the phone. Did you have a similar issue?
I think this would be an issue if it was on the original fold but its better consult those who know more though.
Get a new screen protector.
@@drakephysecron6775 I took my phone to Samsung (in europe) and they replaced the screen protector. I'm just confused because one employee told me I could use the flip without it and another one told me not to touch it by myself because I'll loose my guaranty 🤷♀️
Love the channel, Thao!! Keep it up !!
Love your honesty!! Keep it up, love the video
I would really love to hear the reasoning behind not adding Dex on this $1000 phone... It looks so fun, I love the fact that it provides a big screen and then folds in half ... Just can't get enough of the Flip. But the lack of Dex is a huge no-no for me. And it's not like you can just get the Fold4 instead - it's almost twice as expensive and i don't like the form factor nearly as much... Anyway, i really wish Samsung would stop making these ridiculous compromises. This is a high end device, why not act like it?
According to Samsung, it's due to "lack of heatproof performance in the structure" which I guess makes sense considering how much is crammed into the phone.
Sorry but what is dex? Just switched from iPhone and I love it
I haven't loved a phone as much I loved my flip 3 since the Note 3. The only issue that I have with the flip 4 is that it's a little thicker. Not much of one. Definitely not something I would deduct a point for, and certainly a nice trade off for that battery boost. But my feeling with the flip series is that the more compact they are capable of being while being able to present a I nice large screen, the better. For me, that's what its all about with this line of phones.
The best review, well explained in simple and understanding use of words.
Thank you
Ps: the cutest baby ever 🥰
Congrats on the baby!!!
This is my first flip phone and the camera quality doesn't bother me because it's better than my last phone 😂 the battery life definitely made me finally want to get the phone. It lasts me quite a while before chargung it. I alsp love how it can fit in all my bags or my pockets nicely. The only time I see people go like "the fold factor doesn't seem appealing because I can fit my phone in my pocket" are typically men who have larger pockets.
Can I ask you a question? Is it worth the money?
@@salwazhr107 well I only got it because they had that trade in deal for $1000 for my old phone. The $1000 is still a bit steep. Idk what you can get the newest Samsung ultra for but if it's cheaper that might still be better 🤷♀️ I really enjoy my phone though
Is this your prime phone?
Still have a S10e, thinking about "upgrading" but not really worried about most things people find essential. Just TH-cam, texting and calling.
Is it worth the upgrade?
Had my flip 4 for a month and I absolutely love it. 🎉❤ Also I updated mines to android 13 as I was setting it all up. ❤😊
Hi thao, do you think the cameras are good enough for family photos and videos?
loved my flip 3 for half the year but realized although it fits in my pocket better, it bulges out more than a regular phone. it also feels heavier in the pocket. battery life did suck and many people did have the screen start flickering on them after a year. i realized i needed a smaller phone so went with the pixel 6a, the asus zenfone 9 was too pricey. I will miss the cool flex mode and photo preview in the back when taking photos though! Those two features were a head turner.
Once the honeymoon is over the divorce proceedings start.
Excellent review, your videos are the best. Videos like yours are so valuable to us as we are unable to try phones and they are at least a 2 year investment. I have placed an order for a Z Flip 4 with 512GB, I got a great deal at $14/month. Looking forward to when I can turn it on and "flip" it open. Thanks for your video
Got it??
Hey, I finally got my Samsung stuff before you posted a review for it. I look forward to you Z Fold 4, Watch 5 pro, and Buds 2 pro reviews
As a life-long iPhone user, I haven't stopped thinking about this phone since it was announced. I've had a 12 mini and the battery is awful & I refuse to 'upgrade' to a 13 mini because Apple have become so boring... I'll be getting the same phone plus I resent Apple for alienating those who prefer smaller phones by getting rid of their Mini line-up. I'm going to try & stick with my 12 mini for one more year until the Flip 5 as everything other than the battery is fine... but man... everyday I think about/watch videos to do with this phone! I love it!
Great video! Loving the flip 4 so far
love your reviews! such a refreshing change compared to mkbhd and d2d
Always love your reviews!!
Just got mine, had the flip 3, traded my ultra 22 and made it a no brainer, 200 after trade in, which included tax, if you can trade in your old phone and it has value, definitely worth it! No other phone has this wow factor, period!
I'm debating on doing this exact thing how do you feel about the food verses the ultra?
How's it?
@@viru3708 I really like the phone, the biggest issue I had with the z flip 3 was battery life, not the case with the 4. Camera is slightly better. You don't buy this phone for the specs, you buy this phone for the "wow" factor and to turn heads. I'll say this, if you talk a lot on the phone it is much more comfortable holding after a long conversation and the fact that it can fold at any angle is kind of amazing.
@@VerbalGenius09 yess finally I got it 💃💃
@@VerbalGenius09 My Galaxy a 71 has a much better camera than this garbage
Many people online have reported screens cracking at the hinge when actually it is air bubbles under the screen protector. The UTG glass is actually quite durable. Let's hope the new adhesive on the screen protector sticks better
I really wanted the flip. But I'm in love with Dex. So got the Fold4. Happy I did
I got my flip yesterday and i didn't know about performance mode thanks!
was beginning to think you were skipping this batch from unpacked. thanks for the review. already got the trio from preorders, watch 5 pro and buds 2 pro along with the phone. too many deals to pass up. upgrading from flip 3. been loving it so far.
I'm curious, what do you do with the phones after you review them?
I love your videos, best tech youtuber!
Just got my free Flip 4 from T-mobile by adding a line to my Magenta Max plan... rose gold... Thing is slipperier than snot on ice, wow... fortunately there's a free cover available via credit, so gonna take advantage of the ring case - I think. It really is easy to get attached to it; heck I've not even put the SIM in yet! I'd liked the fold but man, the price.
Do you think it's worth getting the zflip 3 or 4? I just use my phone for texting, calling and scrolling social media lol. I always keep my Galaxy a52 5g on power saving mode and it lasts me about a day and a half. Almost 2, with less usage. I'm not worried about the phone lasting even a day and having to charge it at night. Is this phone worth it? I love the flip aspect of it but don't know if it's an upgrade, compared to my a52 5g
Hi Thao, just wanted to when will your review for Samsung Fold4 be released? eagerly waiting for it! really love all your samsung device reviews 🥰
Love the female perspective on tech. Great video quality, too.
I agree with you! I'm a guy and always had the note phones and whatever was the biggest. Tired of it and want my pockets back!
Had my Z Flip 3 for about 2 years , Monday got the Z Flip 4, Both are 256 gb with Verizon. Its is a improvement. I seen the release pictures of the Z flip 5 with the large front screen. FYI U R Cute. Please where is the setting for split screen and the mouse pad pointer you are showing at 6:40 I cant find it? found it when u open Labs?
Eagerly waiting for this review ❤️❤️
Both beautiful, great video 🙏😇
The baby & dog are sooooo cute! I have LG v60 Thinq (big & heavy with dual screen). I really want the Z Flip 4, but I'm very worried by all of the stories I've seen of owners complaining about the crease getting worse. Thoughts on that, please?
Good review. I enjoy my Flip 3 for what I use it for. Thx!
Oh shit. I don't think I knew you were a Toronto Reviewer, nice to see more TO representation. Your review on the Z Flip last year was really useful. I bought it, loved it, returned it though (because of the battery). I got the iPhone 13. And now I kind of want to trade it in for the Z Flip 4. But the trade in bonus of the iPhone stinks in compared to if I kept the Z3 🥲🥲🥲
Do you think it’s at the point where it’s a reliable daily driver? I e been looking to get an android as a secondary for a while but I’ve been waiting until the flips were solid enough to use without being extra cautious with it.
been using it as a daily driver for almost a year now. the only issue I've had with it so far is the peeling screen protector.
@@ninehneh How long do you think the phone can stay without having screen issues?
@@jamessamson1374 not sure what you mean. i previously used the first version fold, where the screen protector oleophobic coating wore off after less than a year. On the flip 3, the most common issue is the screen protector peeling off. As for the screen itself - no issues, dead pixels, or color gradations so far.
Thao your reviews are the bomb!! I really really enjoy them so thank you and keep'em coming please! Now, another thing that I would consider the bomb...definitely the track pad and cursor on the flip-4, so cool!! Gotta say, Samsung continues to innovate.
