Cool to see the Niagara Launcher on this channel. My current go-to launcher; I love the approach it has to making the home screen snappy and quick to use.
Love your reviews... Glad the downsides of this phone are mainly software that can be updated or fixed, rather than hardware issues. Oppo has a lot to offer to the Samsung dominated global market
I like the design of the Find over the Galaxy Flip, but I think software wise I will probably wait for a possible 2nd Gen to see if they can improve on that. Loved the London footage by the way, especially the London Bridge shots! 😉
Filp 5 for sure will come with snapdragon gen 2 and if we are lucky maybe it with 'plus' too However, i have q is this oppo phone waterproof? And not in the mood for waiting 6 months for flip 5 I dont know what to buy
@@jagaaan I tried both recently and honestly oppo's camera sucks for the 48 mp it claims it has, the flip has far less mp but is much better quality, I was disappointed because on paper the oppo looks good and it felt really good on the hand
Of all the techtubers I follow, your reviews are the most deliciously written. Your reading shows its effects in your script writing. Big fan, for years now! Thank you
Once again a beautiful and amazing hardware stalled by the software. OPPO has so much potential on this Flip, and it's exciting to see what the next gen product could bring! 🤞
Michael beautifully illustrates the biggest problem I have with phones today. The OS and functionality of software is always behind what people want/expect from a $1000+ phone. Love your videos man can't wait to see what you have next.
Honestly if I was in the market for a folding phone, I’d go for this. The lack of a crease gives me more confidence in its long term durability. I’m definitely intrigued by this phone. This all said my iPhone 13 pro is holding up well and I don’t see myself upgrading anytime soon.
Samsung appears to be fixing the biggest issues, based on leaks, with the Flip on the upcoming Z Flip 5: the crease and the small cover display. Leaks state that Samsung will increase the cover screen size to around 3 inches and use a teardrop shape fold for the inner screen to make the crease less visible if not invisible.
@@joshjohnson2753 the folding would get old with me real quick if that's the only wow factor it has to have at least the 200mp camera at the back if not its not a solid buy.
It's great to see all the mobile tech RUclipsrs together! Feels like you're one big family, which we, the viewers, are also a part of, through your videos.
Will be curious to see if they listen to reviewers like yourself, and through major updates, upgrade the software to make the outer screen a lot more usable.
Hi Mr Mobile. Good review. The first of yours I’ve seen although I’ve see you on David The Lockr videos. He’s my favourite lol 😂😂 But I’d like to ask you if it’s best to wait for the next Flip from OPPO Or Don you think OPPO will improve things as time goes by. I thank you in advance for any reply and I’m following you now 😂😊👍
The hardware certainly looks great, but the software looks like it needs more time in the oven. Excited for what they will do over the next few models!
What drives me nuts is, yeah it's a little undercooked ... but a lot of the things I complained about were intentional design decisions. I just don't understand why Oppo gave the user so much more display area, only to then decide to essentially duplicate Samsung's software. Annoying.
@@TheMrMobile yeah. Hope they fix it. I guess they tried to appeal to the "don't get lost in your phone" type public and made the software restrictive at the last moment 😅
The whole point of Android is flexibility. This has been out in China for a while, and there are third-party apps that will allow the front display to be more helpful. So, do not worry about that; if you want more software, it is easy to fix. OPPO covers most of what I need, and the niche stuff will only matter to some buyers. The real question is, are flips just a fad? I tried, and after the honeymoon period, the Flip4 became a nuisance, unproductive, overpriced for what it did and an exercise of doing something just because you can.
you know that these review videos not only inform us regular consumers but also motivates the companies to push themselves :D reviews always matters. Loved it.
I love the design and the outer display, unfortunately the software remains horrible and the use of the outer display is a joke... Mr. Fisher once again with a poetic video! Thanks man, simply the best out there if it's about tech and telling a story about it ❤.
7:10 That's such a nice photo. Not too bright, not too dark. Most smartphone cameras these days tend to over brighten images for the maximum detail and I hate that. I like my photos a bit dark. Because to me photos aren't always about the detail, it's about the aesthetic.
I'm so glad you saw through the bull and pinpointed the issue with this phone. It's seems that a lot of its supporters refuse to believe that the outer screen is ironically the missed opportunity.
I'll always watch Michael's reviews even if I literally don't care for the phone, watch, whatever he might be reviewing. Michael, you always do an amazing job, keep it up, good sir!
You've hit the nail on the head, all these new foldables are far better designed than Samsung and some have better hardware but unfortunately Samsung kills them all in the software department. Hopefully in the next few generations they will catch up in the software department and put real pressure on Samsung. Give me the oppo/vivo /xaiomi foldables with Samsung software and then you've got a near perfect phone
In Europe the Flip 4 is discounted at 700euro and still not interested, from one simple reason: Screen reliability in time and bad support on damaged devices.
A floppy hinge is a good thing for durability. most people will shove their nail in and then flick it up but if the screen is less stiff the nail pushes less and that helps with durability.
These are actually the only phone reviews I actually watch these days (apart from iPhone reviews) the candybar phones time has come, time for the foldable to take charge
I really like your videos. I don't want to be mean to other RUclipsrs, because I like them as well don't get me wrong, but I'm upset that so many of them have more subscribers than you do despite you putting so much more effort into your script, editing, and actually leaving your office so that you can travel and bring new anecdotes and fun footage every single time. It's truly a shame. I wish RUclips would give you the visibility that you truly deserve. You're #1 tech youtuber in my book.
To me, the Razr 2022 still wins since they got it right with the outer screen software. We should be able to access all apps without having to open the damn phone! That's the convenience of having a folding device... 😐😐😐
Pity about not using the front screen. I could see myself moving to a foldable if this was the case. I could check my notifications quickly in the morning and it would feel less bulky in my pocket. It's a good idea but really hamstrung by the software.
Still not sure about foldables but that screen is very interesting. As always it's Screen, Camera and Battery for me, although not necessarily in that order. An update on the screen's durability would be worth considering
My biggest issue with it is that it leads to accelerated obsolescence. Exactly what the OEMs want, people have to buy more supplemental insurance, upgrade more frequently. Repairs will be more difficult, rely more on proprietary parts.
Michael! Have you used Cover Launcher yet?? It's great for making the Z Flips external screen waaaay more useful. It's basically mandatory for the Z Flip phones, as least for me. It gives me way more uses while keeping the phone closed (games on the cover screen?? Heck yes!)
This is a really interesting phone. To be honest, I'm inherently skeptical of anything that is not named Apple or Samsung. Or Google. Even the mere mention that there may be difficulty in using the phone in some regions, such as the U.S., is enough to persuade me not to even give it a look. None of that has to do with the review though. As someone else said...Mr. Mobile is the only person I'd watch for a review on something I'm probably not interested in. Thanks Mr. Mobile~
Yeah the US market is seriously weird. In the Asian market there's so much competition that you get better phones for a lower price and there aren't even any issues with the Carriers.
The Niagara launcher makes it much better to use the phone that runs colour OS, but the bugs really needs to be addressed. Like one time my OnePlus started to give a continuous notification chime when I was watching a RUclips video, although there wasn't any notification. It only stopped when I restarted the phone.
OnePlus does have issues with ColorOS as if it were it's ex😅 On oppo phones, there generally are no bugs. Even if sometimes bugs do come(which is common for all UIs) it's limited to some specific models.
I always love your honest opinions about all the devices you tested. This is no exemption, but out of all these Chinese made phones, I really like OPPO phones since I had one many years ago. But their new foldable devices are definitely going to be the up and coming that can really challenge the Samsung dominant in foldable market in my opinion. I wonder if Apple will ever jump into the bandwagon of this foldable game.
I use a flip 3 and I think I like oppos rendition better. As with the outer screen limited options, nothing that a software update can't fix. If the hardware is solid enough, they can overcome the launch issues I believe.
Good review as always. I don't think Samsung is complacent, I just think the market right now isn't buying as strong as in the past due to economical factors so it's not worth the effort to produce top notch hardware if people have less spending money on luxury goods.
Welcome to London! And I'm glad a local bag also had opinions on the camera-launch situation at 9:52 Also, is it wrong that I want to snap off the top half and just use the outside screen as a phone? But then I'm a Jelly 2 user...

Cool to see the Niagara Launcher on this channel. My current go-to launcher; I love the approach it has to making the home screen snappy and quick to use.
Also my go-to launcher for tall phones! Been using it since ... Galaxy Flip 5G, maybe? Absolutely love it.
It has also helped me avoid distractions due to this streamlined design.
Agree.
@@TheMrMobileDo you also use Niagara launcher on your daily, the Galaxy Z flip 4?
I personally prefer stock. I find niagara kinda complicated and confusing
Love your reviews... Glad the downsides of this phone are mainly software that can be updated or fixed, rather than hardware issues. Oppo has a lot to offer to the Samsung dominated global market
Nobody does flip fold reviews like Mr Fisher ..what a classy guy with !!
cool to see this is being released globally, hopefully we get the fold too

the best part about mr mobile reviews... the story telling.
I’m most excited for these foldables, the candybar form factor has peaked.

@@TheMrMobile Hey Michael! Great review as usual, however, may I ask why this product isn't coming to the US?
If the z flip 5 offers the s23 ultra camera I will consider it.
@@BLAKEEATS1988 I'll be surprised, they seem to choose older cameras for the flip/fold series, I'll be surprised if they even put it on the fold 5

That classic intro music. Glad to hear it again.
I wish more manufacturers would release this form factor to give Samsung more competition and force them to innovate
I want a 7.7 inch flip (or 8 inch) with full big external display ....u get a tiny phone and a wider screen for video than the fold 4 or mix fold2
I mean they do… just not in the US. which I’ll admit is super confusing 🤔
Wish others would be more original

Samsung is trying to lock down that competition.

Another excellent review! Thank you for your honesty!
Finally someone does a review on this amazing phone!
Loved your review and insights of the Flip! And awesome you were at the event too!
Oppo may offer more but i think Samsung flip design look more clean. Samsung flip's back display fit so elegantly with cameras.
Great to see you managed to get to the right side of the pond. As usual a great review.
The best review on this phone I see so far
Tbh the only thing I want improved on my flip 4 is to have an image on the cover screen when its open.
As always this review has the best and most comprehensive information - thanks Michael
Does the palm detection recognize a 🖖 though?
Mr Mobile it’s me, your new fan! Loveddd the video. Best, Talha x
I love the size of this smartphone when folded. Good use of Dimensity flagship processor and cool camera support as well.

I believe that Oppo limits the Find N2 Flip front screen on purpose. To create differentiation with the regular Find N2.
Bad move, however.
Memories are certainly timeless and as technology progresses and improves so does our trip down memory lane

Looks like a nice phone. Would really like to see the outer display have full OS functionality.
man this phone looks soo tempting ugh if only i could buy it
Always a pleasure to listen to Mr. 2 phones. I wasn't really interested in the product but he alwaysPuts out an amazing video.
The Niagara launcher makes it much better to use the phone that runs colour OS, but the bugs really needs to be addressed. Like one time my OnePlus started to give a continuous notification chime when I was watching a RUclips video, although there wasn't any notification. It only stopped when I restarted the phone.

On oppo phones, there generally are no bugs. Even if sometimes bugs do come(which is common for all UIs) it's limited to some specific models.
I'd love the outer screen to just function as a normal display.
Those wallpapers are nice too unlike what Samsung offers nowadays
Nice review Mr. Fisher. Welcome to London
I always love your honest opinions about all the devices you tested. This is no exemption, but out of all these Chinese made phones, I really like OPPO phones since I had one many years ago. But their new foldable devices are definitely going to be the up and coming that can really challenge the Samsung dominant in foldable market in my opinion. I wonder if Apple will ever jump into the bandwagon of this foldable game.
Thank you for being honnest about this device

Love the change that in orientation of the screen makes for taking selfies. Too bad the photos aren't a tad brighter indeed, like you mention in comparison to Fold 4.
Nah, not judging you for the Windsor tutorial, in fact I wouldn't think there is a video guide for this, would search for written instructions. Guess I'm getting stuck in Web 1.0 ?
Let's love being given a case & sceeen protector and charger ! Hinge pattern is beautiful, didn't see anything done like this on the folds.
Displate is wonderful ! I was hesitating with them for a long long time, but they had a sale one day and I got two vintage ads prints from them, for TWA airlines and for Braniff International airlines, the quality is impressive ! Sharp, clear, vivid prints. And won't wrinkle obviously.
Gimme a crease and tiny outer screen over a hinge that doesn't stay open at any degree
Yeah that external screen needs to be better utilized. Missed Oppo-tunity.
Great video again! Where do you get your Star Trek cover screen GIFs? I've got the Flip 4
Xda's answer to the cover screen problem is way better on the flip 4, run ANYTHING! Probably also coming to N2 flip
Your hair is legendary Michael.
