    Thanks for watching folks! Quick note: you could argue that I dwell too heavily on that cover screen, especially since the WeChat app solves for many shortcomings in the phone's release market of China. I didn't put a sentence about that into the script, and I regret that, so: here it is! 😄

      If its a feature that separates it from normal slab phones, then it's worth talking about. Especially if there's competition in that regard also.

      FWIW I don't think you dwelled on it too much. One of the points of having a dual display is to be able to use that secondary display however one wishes and many people may not know about the WeChat app.

    Great review. Your script and narration really are in a different class. Plus your depth of experience and ability to think about the user's perspective in the real world is unique. Reminds me of the late lamented Phones Show video reviews by Steve Litchfield but with all the modern filming and editing bells and whistles. Keep up the good work!

    I actually prefer the simplicity of the front panel. I don’t want to do anything complex on it and I want the simplicity of having a few key widgets at my fingertips. The moment you have a giant complex interface you sacrifice that. Don’t forget you can just flip it open!

    • @aladus
      @aladus Год назад +7

      My thoughts exactly. Being able to - for example - run google maps on a tiny screen seems to me more like a gimmick to show friends than an actual usable feature. Especially for flip phones, where you can open it with one hand (as opposed to the regular fold).

    • @Softsausage06

      The point is, most things people actually do on a smartphone doesn't actually require a big screen. Checking directions, emails, latest tweets, sms etc. None of these quick actions need you to flip for a larger display. Allow people to choose the apps they want to use on the small screen that makes sense to them. Thats the key point.

    foldable phones are such a cool idea. taking a regular size phone and designing it to take half the space or to carry twice the screen size while at the same general storing size is a great take.

    This device looks so stunning and the little touches to the OS are awesome - I wish ROM devs would pick up on some of these like Lineage. The slide-out keypad, whilst so simple, just feels so much more natural than just a fullscreen fadein one. Little things like that just change up the overal appearance of Android, and I wish there was more of this, that could potentially be used across devices.
    That said, this is also why i can't get a foldable... Software support beyond the lifespan of a warranty is important to me, since phones aren't cheap in new form factors like this, so I would love to eek out a few more years with LineageOS and friends. I am daily driving a Razer Phone 2 - and it even got Android 13 BEFORE my friends using an Oppo phone! Literally months before, no less. Still blows my mind.
    I am very much looking forward to more foldables - be it bigscreen or clamshell - because eventually, other ROMs will be made available for them and support might become more widely adopted. With the Pixel Fold inbound, I expect Android to make a gigantic leap in terms of software support for these formfactors.

    MrMobile, u are my definitive authority when it comes to foldables. I use foldables since Samsung Galaxy Fold and now I am on Oppo Find N2 and Vivo X Flip. My laptop is Lenovo X1 Fold. Really appreciate the thorough review even down to the OS. My take on Samsung's next flip, it will likely have a bigger outer screen as per rumors. But I bet that Samsung will NOT let it run everything like Moto. So I think this is why manufacturers like Vivo and Oppo will do just the minimum on the outer screen. Dun blame them for it.

    I have vivo phone and its my daily driver. And to be honest I like its UI than Samsung. There's a lot of customization that you can do for your own preference. And the battery could last a whole day or two in single charge (depending on your usage) If ever I will have a foldable phone I would prefer the vivo.
    I'm just wondering, when shooting a video on that flip phone, can you switch the camera from front to rear cam back and forth just like what a vlogging camera?

    @sc3192 Год назад

    Agree with Mr. Mobile that the outerscreen should have more function. If I have a flip phone I want to minimize to flip it open as much as possible to extend its life, meaning, I don't want to do every simple task (e.g. checking message, notofication and more) by flipping open a screen. Also, it would be a "slower" process to flip open a screen everytime. So, for sure it need more function on the front

    Great review as always! Although I don't agree with the cover screen argument. I think it's totally fine for its use to be limited as it is with this phone. Why would you want to do everything on that tiny screen when you have a much bigger one for that? Show me the date and time, notifications, control center toggles and ability to respond to texts with some cool animations on top and I'll be satisfied.

  • @sagshere816

    I feel like I wouldn't want to use my regular phone ui on the small screen. I prefer this simplistic approch with enough functions, and a ui that makes it more usable for the small display. I dont see a reason for example to use google maps on small screen, and not just open it. I think the ui has to be simple and quick and easily readable for the outside display

    Depending on the implementation; the cover screen may be fixable in software. Sometimes these get implemented essentially as a separate computer (eg think apple's touch bar, or the cosmo's external display). If that's the case, it will be much more difficult to put meaningful functionality there. Hopefully though, is just a second display connected to the same SoC, and an update will sort it out.

    Companies have to stop doing this with the front screen. All they have to do is allow an option to mirror the inside or allow any app to open. They can still set the widgets out of the box but at least allow the user to choose! I used the ZFlip 3 for 12 months and loved it but switched to the Pixel 7 Pro for better cameras and battery. It's been an amazing experience but I keep finding myself really missing the ability to prop up the cameras and take shots alone, now I need a tripod or someone else to hold the phone.

    The while point of the second screen is to use it for your favorite app. I returned my Galaxy Flip 4 because I could not use the small screen for my favorite apps. So there was no point... looking forward to the day when samsung makes the flip back screen open to full apps.

    Maybe i will just wait another 3 years for flip phone. I feel like the technology isn't ready.

    Great video, as always 😎 But I still can’t decide between Flip 4 and Razr 5G 🤔

    Another great review. It would be nice to have more flip phones to choose from.
