    I used to be an iPhone lover for so many years, but since using the Samsung s21+ then upgrading to the Flip3, I honestly don't miss Apple products, which I thought I would never say. This phone is stunning, I got it in the green for a change and it's gorgeous! Battery hasn't been an issue for me, as I'm not reaching out to it as much as I would normally as the cover screen will show me any notifications that show plus its such a conversation starter too!

      I've not even had the Flip3 for a week yet and already I love it. It's sleek design is is everything, it's quick and you can set a GIF as your cover screen, how cool is that!? I know people have their concerns which is natural, I mean come on, it's a folding phone! But technology is moving in this direction, and I'm down for it! :)

      @@intermarer9145 hands down best decision I've made. I felt like a slave to ios they literally make a new one every year! This feel of the heptic touch is refreshing. Contact photos are larger, you can customize the entire phone and not to mention you can customize the cover screen as well. Dowloabale themes are super cool but I avoid them simply bc I want to stay authentic with Samsung's look bc I've been an ios user for so long. Samsung pay is a thing! Just like Apple pay so you will not miss it. I've learned emojis will show up on an iPhone users screen just like ios emojis. As far as reacting to messages its kinda tricky I've heard there's a way to do it but I'm still figuring that part out. Face recognition is simple and easy same as finger print i.d, and you know how sometimes you miss notifications from ios? That doesn't happen with Samsung. OH and the notification sounds are cooler. Touch sense is smooth. And recorded videos can be saved as wallpapers if you don't care about your battery drainage. I go out alot and in the past day or so I've turned heads. (Introvert who likes to party here) And overall the flip part makes it that much more satisfying. I sometimes forget it's in my pocket. Still learning but I'll continue to update you. If you have questions I'll answer them

    I have one in lilac, on first launch day in the UK - 256gb, the lack of sd slot is annoying, but as I never used it on my old Note10+ 5G, doubt I'll miss it. The best feature; you can hang up 90s style on annoying people, I've missed 'slamming' the phone off :D

      @bates417ify Average - pictures are nice, excellent in fact, but it lacks the time of flight sensor, auto focus seems to be AI driven and a lil slow, but the results are pretty decent - I always took my photos in pro mode on the note 10 anyway, so doing the same on this one produces similar results, but the MP range feels lower when digital zooming, way sooner than the note did. Low lights pretty good though

    Literally everything you said is exactly what I have been telling people. I had a Note 20 Ultra, which was an upgrade from a Note 8.
    While I absolutely loved the camera on that thing, it just felt like a slightly better version of my Note 8, which was already great.
    I traded it in for Z Flip 3, knowing full well the technical sacrifices I was making. And I dont regret it AT ALL. This is legit one of the most fun phones I have had in a LONG time. I love it every single moment. Opening it and closing it is still fun and exciting even after having it since the 25th of August.
    And btw, in the beginning, the battery was definitely one of my biggest adjustments to get used to and felt like the phone was dying so fast. But so many weeks later, and the battery lasts a lot longer. I think it is because of the fact that the first few days, the battery is trying to learn you usage habits and what not? idk the technicalities of it all but what I can say is that it is lasting me all day long, and it helps that I got the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, which also helps me use my phone a lot less.
    Anyway, all in all, best phone I have had in a WHILE.

    Second is the camera. It CAN take a great picture and then other times it can take a really bad one and you can see it tried.
    Whats good about the above is it can be addressed in software.

      I turn off the mobile data when I'm not at home, yea you don't need AOD really, and I set the outside display to the minimal one where the text is real small. If you have the carrier model you can enable mobile data in the quick toggles using ADB, I don't know why the carriers removed it. I'm OCD about my battery too but it's pretty manageable. I'm sure the flip successor will have a larger battery.
      I also have a 15w wireless charger in my home and car so that helps when I put my phone down.

      After turning the AOD off (from turning it on) I have noticed its mucch better. I also set a shit load of apps to deep sleep so maybe thats helped but so far I have not had to switch anything off that wasnt already on.

    I got a chance to hold and feel the phone.

Moreover, you have to use both hands to open the phone and that is a big design drawback.

  • @americanparser

    I respectfully disagree with your premise that the Flip 3 is "completely unique in design." Case in point: less than a minute later, you say, "When it's fully open, it just looks like a normal phone. In fact, if I handed a Z Flip 3 to someone who has never seen the phone before, I don't think they'd think anything of it. It just looks like every other smartphone when it's completely open."
    I might add that, when it's closed, it looks just any other smartphone would look folded in half. Linus over at Short Circuit makes a similar case in his review, "A Hater's Perpsective," even though he clearly likes the phone as a phone.
    In the same category, closer to "completely unique in design" would more aptly describe the Motorola Razr 5G. Hear me out here. The Z Flip 3 is by almost every other measure the more versatile, more powerful, "better" smartphone. No questions there. But in terms of style and design, it is the Razr 5G that, even open, stands out as immediately recognizable in a sea of slabs. In today's market, it manages to be both unique and iconic simultaneously, which, one must admit, is a feat in itself.
    Me personally? I wouldn't pay $1000 for either of them, much less $1400 or $1500. I'm a tech nut, but I'm seldom a first adopter. To all of you who relish taking that hit, you have my gratitude. It's not that I mind paying more to get more. I'm all about that. It's just that I don't want to pay a premium to be a beta tester.
    And that's why I just picked up the Moto Razr 5G for $199 on T-Mobile. Yes, you read that right --- 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘺-𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘴. For a stylish --- and I believe, at this point, proven concept --- the Moto Razr 5G is a fun, dependable upper mid-tier smartphone, housing Motorola's legendary reception, lean Android build, and unique software features. At that price, it would be hard to disappoint me. But I don't think it will.
    Enjoy your Z Flip 3! I've handled it. It's a nice phone, and if you're a fan of Samsung, and you want a smartphone that flips open, it's the way to go. But for completely unique design, you might have to keep looking.

    i’m an iphone user for about 2 years now, and let me tell you it’s better than any android that i’ve had (due to the fact that my last phone was an oneplus 3 running android oreo, now i have iphone 11 pro max). Android at that time imo wasn’t pretty nor user friendly, and when i started using ios it was a whole different thing… i loved everything about it. and i swore in that day that i’d never buy an android again. But time went on and google released android 12 and oh my… i LOVE IT! it’s everything i was looking for when i switched to ios and so much more. I thought of switching to android again but since i had mine for less than 2 years, it did everything i wanted and androids didnt had anything to offer (for me) that would give me an urge to buy it… i didn’t buy it. but when i saw the flip 3… that urge went through the roof. Although i love it, i’ll stick around with my phone and wait a couple more years until samsung makes a foldable flagship (sort of a samsung s21 ultra foldable) thanks for reading my experience
