Galaxy Z Flip Review - Is the future ... UNFOLDING before our eyes?? By Reviews.org

He, who dares wins, nothing ventured anything gained. We have libraries full of Maxim's talking about glorious risks, glorious risks, and yet we often dump on people and organizations who do so and don't produce the results. We think they should Samsung took a risk on the original note, and it paid off big recently they took a risk on the Galaxy fold, with mixed results, and now we have the Galaxy Z Flip. Is it worth the risk for you to buy watch as the answer to that question? Unfolds right before your very eyes, hey? If any of these videos helped you make a decision either way, please hit that thumbs up hit that subscribe and that notification bell so that you'll get all the latest updates. When we post content yes unfold before yeah corny ancient double hockey sticks. What are we in the third grade? Well, I thought it was a meet whoa, hey, hey, alright, we're back hello, we're back right, then the Galaxy Z Flip I'm, just going to get right to it.

This phone is dope. It is not for everyone, though, is it, for you, maybe I mean I, think everyone should have one, though not just yet much like I thought. Everyone should have a 70-inch ole D T V, when I saw one at a private booth, tour and CES years ago. These panels, though, were much too pricey for the average consumer, but as all things do and time the prices come down, and the dope tech becomes dorm tech, inexpensive tech to send your kid off to college with. But that's then, let's get back to now.

The Z flip simultaneously evokes all the fields of old-school, flip phones without leaving you having to click a number button three times just to punch out one letter for a text message. No, this is a conventional smartphone with conventional smartphone awesomeness. It has all the bells and whistles you'd expect a beautiful six point: seven inch, dynamic, AMOLED, Infinity flex, HDR 10 plus display front facing hole, punch, 10, megapixel, camera on that main display side, but when closed you'll get the cover display, which has a 1.1 inch. Three hundred by hundred twelve Super AMOLED display we'll come back to that bit on the right side of the phone. Is the fingerprint sensor and volume rocker no Bixby button on this phone bottom of the phone is where there is a USB, C port, mono, speaker and microphone being the son of a mother who was at one time in esthetician honestly, the first thing I thought of when I saw the phone in person was a makeup compact seriously.

This glossy folder looked like something very familiar, and yet it wasn't an old-school folding phone. That first came to mind. It was indeed makeup, if that's intentional, it's a heck of a hook to appeal to 50% of the buying public, for whom that might be of interest in Samsung's own market materials. They reference just how easily this device fits in pockets of purses, I'm thinking of women who go out, may wear attire with no pockets and use a clutch for them. A compact device like this is gold.

I'd. Imagine speaking of goals. One thing this phone has achieved, which I haven't quite experienced to this degree, is its level of lack of friction. The phone chassis is so smooth that if I sit on my bed and place the phone several inches away from me, it will slide down to me. If there's the slightest angle on any surface, you set this phone on, it will slide you're, definitely going to want to put a case on this phone.

It's just a slippery in hand. The case it comes with in the box does a better job of being a bit more tacky, but not a bunch. I definitely check out one of the leather cases. Samsung has to offer now what you have in the Galaxy Z Flip really is a cool piece of new technology. It's a leap forward, it's a risk, and it isn't perfect.

But what is the display is beautiful, but one of the things you'll notice, as you swipe up and down and scroll pages, is the crease at the center of this thin glass screen. This is what you trade in this first-generation product, that and just when you've gotten used to an end display fingerprint sensor on Samsung phones. This one does not include one that said face unlock, is consistently fast and almost error-free, as is the side fingerprint scanner / power button. The other very consistent part of this first gen product is what Samsung calls the hideaway hinge. You can open up the Galaxy Z Flip to a variety of angles, and it'll sit up on its own.

Samsung has actually created some software tweaks, which take advantage of this. Let's start with the camera, it's a Samsung camera and as such you're going to get very solid pictures out of this phone, but the difference here is you get a built-in tripod? Well, okay, maybe more of a stand since a phone fold that leaves you more options to get hands-free photos. If you find a place tall enough to set your phone on, if you're not sitting at the table and since you can sit the phone down or lay it on its side, you'll get your vertical or horizontal photos and video. Now, if you need some height, you're still going to need to have that tripod or have to consider the infamous selfie stick, but I know you're a creative lot edge. You can figure this out sans pole.

Flex mode also takes advantage of this folders folding prowess by placing the photo controls at the southern pole of your phone you'll notice that when you have the phone sitting on the tabletop for a selfie that the controls don't sit in the middle of the screen like they would, if you had a standard smartphone, but when you fold the phone, the controls actually automatically adjust to sitting at the bottom of the screen. This is the only app which actually does that nice flex Samsung. Another feature which takes advantage of the hideaway hinge and thin folding glass is multi active window a feature. We first saw on the note line with your device folded or unfolded, though you can split your display into two and multitask to your heart's content, although this isn't specifically for the folder per se, it doesn't auto, adjust like the camera. App does consider the form factor.

There are some handy use cases here like video conferencing from the top half, while having some notes open in the bottom, half, and I'm sure you can imagine a bunch of others, and you know, what's in the top and bottom halves batteries the phone's batteries support fast charging, both with wired and wireless charging, along with wireless power share and I have to say that, despite how thin they made this phone when it is fully open, which ultimately was a sacrifice on battery size. With the Z flip carrying a 3300 William hour battery, it was taking me five hours of screen on time to kill the phone. Now, that's a hard day's use for me, so on average I was getting a whole day's worth of use out of the phone with closer to three hours. Screen. I.

Think, though, that the most compelling part of this phone is not what it is today, but what it will be tomorrow right now, this technology is new, and I'm sure not easy to manufacture, given the complexity of its part, but as time passes and process simplifies and materials advance, we'll see the prices of products like these come down and despite Samsung marketing, just how pocketable this phone is, it will be even more pocketable when the cost of ownership is more pocketbook friendly. Now let me be clear: I absolutely adore this form factor, I love the fact that I can have a near seven-inch screen in something that folds up as small as a wallet I used to keep in my back pocket. That is until I recognized the hip issues that was giving me and started carrying my wallet in my front pocket sidebar how many of you who carry a wallet have moved to carrying your wallet in a front pocket and not in your back pocket. How about me in the comments below, but I digress? Much like those pants pockets, the utility of a phone like this is undeniable. It's just that the steep cost is as well for most people so would I recommend this phone depends on who you are early, adopter, sure someone trendy on the cutting edge, absolutely the average guy or gal living near paycheck to paycheck I generally tell that buyer to wait a generation so that any bugs and kinks can be worked out, and you'll get a product that will get you your money's worth and last you a good amount of time, and this is no different.

Thanks to what Samsung learned from the Galaxy fold, I think the Z flip is a phenomenal device and a line with phenomenal potential I can't wait to see what the Z flip to improve on this first gen unit personally I'd like to have back under the display the fingerprint sensor and the telephoto camera back into the mix- hey, we don't take it lightly that you've taken the time to watch with us, especially during this Cove it'd, lock down that many of us are in. So we appreciate you. We appreciate you here at reviews: org I'm, —, Shaka, Armstrong catch on the next one.
