      The battery supports this by not being massive and prevents you wanting to use it all day.

    No one's has ever mentioned the finger getting caught in the hinge thing. I never thought of that but at soon as you said it, it got me thinking. I could literally picture the pinching from getting your finger caught. Good to know that's not a problem with the hinge, and bizarre how I have watched many videos yet no one has bothered to mention that.

    Too many reviewers expected too much from this phone it's main feature is the fact that it folds no it doesn't have the best battery no it doesn't have the best camera it has a decent screen and it folds its compact that's the theme with this phone that's what a lot of reviewers did not understand and over expected. The fact that Samsung got over that hinge issue is amazing.

      My aunt worked for Samsung almost a decade ago. While she was still there, they already had this in the making and she got to look at the prototypes from as early back as 2013, and it went through a lot of material iterations and they had a lot of fragility issues. when she finally got to see it in store it was the coolest thing-- the early concepts even considered having two types of screens at one point, but they realized it wouldn't fly. This is huge feat for smartphones imo :)

      Cameras for me are not an issue,it flips which is ultra handy for putting in your pocket instead of having a big slate sticking out. Screen is amazing,battery isn’t an issue if your not continually using it and I’m sure for normal everyday use you would get a full days use.

You are right about the difficulty to do the flip, but for me it is a great way to cut down on screen time. 😅.

      I'm actually coming to this from an iPhone 12 Pro mostly because I miss Android. I do tend to go back and forth every few years or so. Glad to be back this time though some in my family are irritated at me. Let's face it, it's far easier to use an iPhone when everyone else has one but that's just one of the reasons I dislike Apple. iPhones are great but they really do try and force you into their world sometimes. My family will just have to get over it. I am going to do me and they can do them. 🙂

    This review made me look at the z flip differently. Im currently searching for a new phone and the s21 is high on my list but now I’m thinking the z flip would be a good option. Everything on the phone market is so similar. The z flip stands out to me and i am someone who props up my phone often with phone grips and popsockets it’s nice to see something that can already do that. My main fear with the z flip is dropping it.

    I've had my flip 3 for a while now, nearly a year, and honestly I like it a lot. I think the screen being weak is actually not an issue because when it isn't in use, it's closed. The screen is protected on the INSIDE. I drop my phone constantly, i drop it from big heights, small heights, it slides under furniture, you name it- and it's still pretty much the same. Maybe a bit scuffed on the metal bits, but that's almost nothing compared to when you drop a normal phone and the screen and sometimes other components SHATTER in front of your eyes.
    People will literally freak out whenever I drop my phone and I'm able to just casually say "it'll be fine". Because it is! I'm hoping maybe as other apps and updates come, the functionality of the cover screen might increase as it did with the flip 4? There are extra apps you can download to extend that for the 4 so maybe there already are things like that for the 3 i just didn't know about

  • @lynnnguyen8396
    @lynnnguyen8396 2 года назад +71

    Honestly the flip has a lot aventages for a person who wanna get rid of phone addition. I focus on work daily and the front small screen is good for me to just check important notifications. Then I can decide which message I need to answer or just ignore and wouldn't bother opening the flip. It creates a chance for us to decide whether using the phone or not.
    I'm using a normal phone with a 5.5inch screen, which is considered not very big but I still need to hold it with 2 hands 😹 so I don't find not being able to use it one hand is an usual thing.
    The size in flipped mode is also good with females having no pockets and often wear skirts like me. If using normal size phones I always have to carry a big purse for it but for the small flip, just use a cute mini waist bag. Incredible lightweight.
    I think this flip phone is perfect for busy people but still wanna be fashionable and taking tons of selfies.
    People complain about the small battery but you really need to use your phone that much during the day? 4-5 hour on screen? No way unless you are a student and still have a lot of free time.

    I don't know if it's just me BUT the purpose of the flip is to allow ONLY certain features to be used and NOT THE ENTIRETY of the the device; remember the "pager" back in the day (even though i haven't used one).. it's also beneficial for us to cut down our phone/screen usage (can save our eyes and the phone's battery at the same time)..

    In my opinion, the Z Flip 3 is one of the best foldable phones that came out this year. The portability is such a game changer for me since it fits my pocket so easily and the speakers are actually loud for watching videos/listening to music. Although, the down side is battery life since it does have a small battery capacity. Can't wait for what Samsung will do with the Z Flip series!

    I don't think the open problem is a problem for most* people. I feel that many of use grew up with flip phones and we love that feel*. I also believe that this will grow on people. Samsung did release a statement that a high majority of people who buy the Flip 3 is Apple phone users. I think many people will enjoy the classic yet futuristic tech the phone provides. I can only imagine what is to come with flip phones.

    As an old person, I went through the first wave of (non-smart) flip-phones. Even then, I didn’t really like them. Some of the Japanese ones from Panasonic or Sharp had actual buttons so they would open up automatically, which was honestly pretty cool. But, I never liked the inherent fragility of them, they always took an extra moment to use, and while they were smaller lengthwise, they were almost always thicker. I think it’s nice that form-factors are diversifying again, because I know my preferences aren’t universal. But, I prefer the “slate” form-factor for the way I use a phone.

      @@thekooosh that doesn't mean they're not innerently more fragile than almost any candy bar form factor models in this price range. The z flip and the razr are going to break a hundred times faster and worse than an iPhone. But of course, that doesn't mean you can't be extra careful and manage to keep them around for a couple of years intact, it just doesn't contradict the argument that foldable phones are more fragile.

    I got around the one-handed opening quite easily. I just use my one hand to open it only a little bit, then I just push the phone against my chest to open it the rest of the way. And honestly, the fact that it uses less space in my pockets is wonderful! I can't count how many times my S20 would just slide out of my pocket because of the tallness of the device. Because the Flip 3 is physically smaller when folded, it's been pretty much impossible for this to just slide out when I'm sitting down!

    I feel like this phone is not about being the most useful or the fastest. This one is dedicated to the ones who just got tired of all these boring similar rectangular phones from all the companies and want something very different. Also this one is dedicated to the ones who got nostalgic of the flip phones before the touchscreens. For example, I'm extremely bored by any phone on the market because it's all basically the same so I'm desperate for some changes. Also my all time favorite phone is Nokia N93 which was VERY weird and original and different and that is why I loved it so much. So I WANT to have this opening/closing proccess every time. I want to end calls by closing my phone. And that is why this phone is very interesting for me. However if I would not like this opening/closing proccess, there would be no point in buying it at all for sure.

      First, best flip ever was original Razr. Moving on... Just switched to this from iPhone because I too wanted more options and lets face it, Android gives you about 3x the settings to customize to your hearts content. This form factor is definitely fun and certainly more portable. Let me just state for the record though: Apple has best support anywhere. Conversely, Samsung support is the worst on the planet (for anything). It's a darn good thing I'm a techie because most of the time I just have to fix the issue my own darn self 😄

This is Ella's review, she can establish her own format and create her own stylistic distinction to her liking. It's ok if the end result is not your thing, however it doesn't mean that she's not doing a good job.

    You didn’t mention battery 🔋 life.
    I heard other reviews say that since it’s a foldable phone the battery 🔋 will undoubtedly be smaller and also the screen time you only get about 4 hours where the S21 you get double that for obvious reasons.
    Great review overall.
    I still think the foldable phones technology is still quite new and kudos to Samsung for doing it and making it work but I don’t plan on getting a foldable phone anytime soon.
    I will wait for another 2-3 years when they improve it.
    Like other people comment on it’s more of a gimmick right now and people are interested and fascinated about the new foldable phones but after the novelty wears out we shall see. 🤷‍♀️

    1:59 - The MATT black one is matt, not glossy, I got that one, the texture is not slippery and definitely not a fingerprint magnet! I bought the Z Flip 3 specifically for the folding smaller in pocket form factor, had it for a month now, still love it! The only things I wish they'd improve upon next time is more storage capacity (at least have a 512GB variant or SD card slot), allow users to turn down the cover screen sensitivity/change the camera ratio for the cover camera, louder speakers and if I am being picky - add a slightly bigger battery. But, the main things I hate are the cover screen being too sensitive in the pocket changing the clock just by it being in your pocket, small storage capacity and less useful things on the cover screen (you can hack the health app for the cover screen to allow full access to ANY apps on the cover screen though, but it deletes the health app entirely... you can play games on the cover screen and do ANY normal things on it with this hack without opening the phone. They need to add this sort of functionality to the cover screen.

    Interesting, I was expecting battery life to come up as the big disadvantage but it never did. Are other reviewers exaggerating the issue I wonder? For me choosing between them I think comes down to DEX. The flip dosn't have it and there is no good technical reason why Samsung did add it to the flip. Heck a folded mode dock station would be fricken awesome.

Now that Samsung and Pixel are fairly on par with respect to camera quality, I truly cannot decide. One deal breaker may be battery life, however 🤷 Might just wait it out for ZFlip 4, whenever that happens.

    I really enjoyed your video. You must be young, because before before 10 years ago all phones needed to be opened and closed. Plus having to close the phone protects the screen. A phone that the screen is always visible to the elements more things can happen to it like scratches, cracking, ect. Being a female you probably carry your phone in your pocketbook. Having these large phones the only place you could carry it is in your back pocket. Since it was in your back pocket it was sat on. Once I have broken a phone having it in my back pocket and sitting down. Now with the Samsung Z Flip3 phone I am able to keep it in my front pocket. Amazing how awesome this is. That alone is the best selling point!

    I was curious, does the cover screen allow for more customization than traditional AOD? I’ve only seen the AOD on the S10 plus; and there are some customizations available for it..
    I think the selfie point is an interesting one. It works for stand alone things pretty decently (aside from the square aspect ratio), but it won’t work for something like a Zoom call for better quality.
    I also believe setting or phone down about half way open to stand it up. However, I think it is really only practice for calls; as I think viewing content is comprised then.
    I think the camera quality for the money is quite a big disadvantage. You get a better setup on the s21 for $200. I think someone would have to really love the folding form factor to justify that. But I think a phones camera should be better the higher you go up the ladder.
