I have a fold and I was worried about the line in the middle of the screen. But depending on the angle and light you don't notice it, and even when you notice the line, it doesn't bother as you think it would. It's just amazing.
Totally agree! It's not an issue for me. I'm sure the flip 5 will have an even less noticeable crease
I have that same issue and it literally now has all came off the whole screen starting at the middle and then slowly continue to expand and turn black and now it’s all black
A Samsung attendant told me that if the person goes to the store before 1 year, they still fix it.
@@menilsonfilho6400 Yes, but for some folks, the issue happens just after the warranty gets over. I think Samsung new abt this issue.
Thank you so much for this video. Many more RUclipsrs need to do one year reviews
Thank you! I will definitely be doing more
Great review all or at least most of the questions I have, fortunately or unfortunately I've already bought this phone yet excited for my new adventure..... at almost 80 every moment is an adventure. Great job 😊
Thanks for this review! I just pre-ordered a flip 5 because it was at a major discount that made it cheaper than a lot of other phones, but I'm definitely really worried about it's lifetime, since I always expect my phones to live up to 3 years. I'm still VERY worried about that lmao, I'm a big phone dropper.. but I'm hopeful the new gen can last about 2 years-ish!!
Nice! I think if you can take care of it and get a good case for it, your flip 5 should last at least 2 years
You should get a case with a ring or strap to grip more securely. Also idk bout you but I plan on upgrading every year as long as Samsung does such crazy trade in deals. I only spent $50 to upgrade to the 5 after trading in the 4
Samsung care asap
You can just trade it in and upgrade to the next flip after a year for like $100
love the quality of this video. love your personality. this channel definitely deserves more subs
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words! 😁
I agree! Found it today and I'm getting ready for binge watching haha These videos are great! ✨
I bought a Flip 4 and started using it yesterday. So far I really, really like it! You're probably too young to remember pre-smartphone flip phones, but I really miss the convenience of having one of those. While this phone is understandably much larger and heavier than those phones, the ability to fold it up and put it in my purse, sling or back pocket is wonderful. However, as you pointed out the phone is very smooth to the touch, which made me very nervous, so I immediately ordered and installed Samsung's clear plastic case with a ring holder. I don't know how well it or the phone would hold up if I drop it because the case is hard plastic but for the time being it's providing some peace of mind.
Update: Now there are dead pixels near the fold creating a black spot. I'm trading it in for the new S24+.
I've had the phone for a year and it's very good. Recently I've noticed the crease in the screen has small micro scratches or creases? Not sure how to describe it. The crease is not smooth like when new. I am not a heavy phone user so my opening/closing is minimal, especially with the small outer screen. My only complaint so far is that.
Damn
How long did it last?
My S23 ultra got damaged at gym I went back to flip 4 its a cool device man. It's snappy the screen is amazing
It is a cool device! Sorry about your s23 ultra 😔
Dropped a dumbell on it?
Appreciate your efforts....only proper long term video available
Thank you!
I've had the Fold 2 and now have the Fold 5. I feel like I could never go back to a standard phone. Considering the flip 4 as a gift for a family member, thank you for this review.
@RobertRetroUTTP I'm still shocked when people are surprised and so interested to see me open it up. I thought everyone would have some kind of folding device by now.
Have the z flip 4 bespoke edition and personally love this phone. Fits in my everyday use and runs on oneui which i am very familiar with. But been pretty good with it taking care of it. Took a 2 year insurance plan on it but. Love this phone. And got it in colors i wanted ^-^
Very nice! 👍🏾
Review videos are normally boring but u brought it back to life it’s amazing and it’s not like u only said good things abt it just bad u had a good amount of both
Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words 😁 Glad you enjoy the content
It would be soooo much better if the spring popped it open and snapped it shut like the original flip phones. It either takes two hands or a thumb war to open it. It needs the spring assist. It misses the biggest draw of the flip - opening and closing one handed with the satisfying snap. To replicate that it takes a whole snap of the wrist now which is more fanfare than i need when checking my phone.
I believe they did that so you can still use it when it's half open, like for using the camera without a tripod
When Google and Oneplus come out with their flip and folding phones, I think the next few years will be an actually exciting period of time for smartphones again - or tablets that fold in half and take phone calls, whatever we call them in the future.
Agreed! Exciting times ahead for folding phones. Hopefully this means the prices will come down too
Thanks for the video Daniel. Between you and Jerry Rigs video, yall sold me on this phone.. Getting a heck of a deal on one being the 5 is out now. Love the content. Definitely subbing up. :)
Thanks! I'm happy you're here! 😁
I appreciate your video! I've been wanting a flip but i kept getting talked out of it. I finally have a 4 coming. (Refurbished) Cause it was affordable and i want to see it it's as bad as everyone says but you make me feel a bit more secure in my decision. Like, the piece of mind you've given me....i'm so grateful.
Thanks! No problem. Hope you enjoy your phone
You get the phone yet? How are you liking it? I just got a refurbished 4 also and I'm really loving it actually. Plan on trading it in when the flip 6 comes out later this year.
looks like a normal smartphone that had to sleep on the couch last night
That's one way to describe it 😂
💀
it was the commercial about the crazy girl being obsessed with it that did it for me... until i saw the price...
Thanks for the nice review having my z flip4 really helps.
No problem! 😁
Every time he flips it close with that clap sound I clench my teeth.
😈
LOVE the Flip 4 phones, but like Daniel said....DON'T DROP IT!!!!! You will have issues with the hinge in the corner breaking, the top or bottom half of the screen will become unresponsive, then the entire screen will eventually go black. I had so many problems after I dropped my Flip 4 and had to get it replaced. Also, make sure you have insurance on the phone.
I cried when i droppee mine 😂😭
Had a 13 pro max but broke it a few months ago and been using a nord 30 for now. Amazon has a sale 512 gb flip 4 for $400 and just grabbed it. Excited to try it! Only tried all the folds so this will be my first flip
Nice! Hope you like it!
I just ordered mine an hour ago. Should arrive by Friday. Hopefully I will enjoy it as much as your video.
@@jhernan69 I'll have mine Thursday according to Amazon, hoping the same thing
@@itsAphelion.How you liking it?
@@LUMAFR Honestly I love it. The battery could be better but I have yet run into a issue where it has actually died on me in use. Its pretty much an all day phone with my use. It performs just like any other high end galaxy I had. Highly recommend if someone wants a good phone for good price
I flip my flip 4 like it is a new born baby. Very gently. Watching you flip it so aggressively is giving me a heart attack 😅
It's perfectly safe 😁😁
I was looking through you page and didn't find a flip 5 review. My flip 4 is still under warranty period so I'm thinking whether I should upgrade it? 🤔
@blessythomas3243 the flip 5 is a worthy upgrade with a bigger front screen and battery
@@DanielsTechStudio isn't it? Thank you so much for your replies 😊 Please continue to make more tech content 🫡
@DanielsTechStudio oh and I live in a country with high amounts of particle dust... n this phone is not dust proof. 🙅♀️The hinge of my phone always has specks of dust on it.
you're funny and a wonderful content creator haha, thanks for the video!
Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it. Glad you're here! 😁
dropping a like cuz your funny XD and bc this is really helfpull! thank you
Thank you! 😁
For a long time I prefer XCover line, starting with XCover 2. Now I have XCover 5 for 2 years already. And the camera failed. Z Flip could be a great alternative to XCover 7 that is the most recent for now. Although I am a bit worried about it's safety as I used to have unbreakable phone :) Since early 2000th I liked flipped phones but never had one.
Thank you for the overview, really helpful!
lol, "an event" I love it. Thank you!
The screen of flip 4 is working perfectly without being broken after 1 year? How long can it work without showing bubbles or it being broken automatically?
Yup. No issues with the screen or hinge. I'm surprised as well.
It's only been out for a year so only time will tell what it's reliability will be like down the road.
solid review!
Thank you! I appreciate it! 😁
I currently have an iphone 7 and a galaxy a01 core, these things are finally affordable and i'm trying to upgrade to one
Nice! You'll definitely like it
I respect the akai mpk.
Watching on a zflip 4 right now!Been the most fun time ever with this phone.Since ive hot an ipad im struggling to think if i should go to an iphone or just completely switch to samsung..
Nice! I'd say it depends on what you use your iPad for. If it's something that can only be done on an iPad (FaceTime, procreate, etc) then I'd say stick with the ipad
@@DanielsTechStudioI thought facetime was on android and windows now, also there are similar apps to procreate like ibis paint x. I made the mistake of getting an iphone just for one app (garageband) and now I want to switch back to android, but thats me personally idk abt other people
Watching this on my z flip 4
Thanks for watching 😁
Same lol I love this phone!! I have the flip 4 & iPhone 13, the Android is the best hands down!! It has all kinds of features to customize your phone!! I'm in love and I'm an iPhone girl well was lol
Excellent objective content
i'm watching this to confirm my decision of preordering the flip 6. it'll be my first android phone. i think i made the right decision now.
Me too..what did u decide..I am too confused..some told me that pixel arrangement is not smooth once u open the flip..
Good one! Up to the point
Is flip 4 more fragile ? Will it break easily if we drop it down? Just curious coz i have butter hands, planning to buy flip 5 though.pls advise
It won't shatter into a million pieces if that's what you're asking. The back is glass so it may crack, but the hinge and inner screen will be safe no matter what. Ideally you'd have a case though. I always have a case on my phones, I just don't show it in the videos.
I say wait for the flip 5 if you can. That big screen is gonna be really dope, and the durability will be even better than the flip 4.
@@DanielsTechStudio thanks much for your response. Am more worried about the crease part. People are saying that after a while the scratch guard or temper will come off by creating a lot of bubbles which may lead to display issue and the screen goes unresponsive after some months of buying. Plesse make me come out of this.
I haven't seen anything about that. Especially in this comments section. Those may be defective units which is why that could happen? Idk. I haven't experienced anything like that
@@DanielsTechStudio am not referring to the comment section. In general, i could see lot of videos on youtube which made me to ask this. Thank youx am clear now. Will plan to get flip 5
I actually just leaves mines open the majority of the time lol. Close it when its in my pocket but thats it. Work/home etc its open
I think an important thing to mention also although it folds its sort of thick folded. Especially with a case. So if you have this in your pocket, along with a wallet its definitely taking up pocket space as opposed to just a slab phone.
Nice review 😂❤
Thank you! 😁
At 9:15 - Is it worth it answered.
Hi
Should the screen protector cover the middle line? In some videos guys were talking about it and screen protectors can cuz damage in the middle line
You’ve been using it so let me know thanks ❤
@@BIackRockFor how long have you been keeping your Flip? I'm about to return it cause I just don't trust it to last lol.
😂 I really enjoyed watching this video ,I mean I'm probably not that flip phone but I enjoy the video
Thank you
Thank you! 😁
Any comments regarding how it feels on mobile games?
I'm planning to buy flip 5 now and finally upgrade from my iphone 6 lol. But only concern I have is battery life. I wonder how long does your phone last once charged? And has its battery life worsened over time?
I mention in the video battery life is pretty average. You'll get a day out of it but definitely not 2 days
@@DanielsTechStudio One day even after a year of usage is pretty impressive. I think I won't regret switching to z flip. Thank you for your review!
No problem!
Nice video. I am planning to get flip 4 in 2023. I am not a heavy user will it last for 2 years if i take proper care of it? Its coming in discount now in my country at 550 dollars
Hi, so my flip 4 display has stopped working after a year, and just a week after the warranty got over. I am currently using it as a non-flip phone. Do u have any idea how long I could continue using it like this (I cannot close flip as the display does not come on and the phone has to be restarted). The cost of replacing the part is very expensive and I may be better buying another phone instead. (I had got the bespoke edition)
i have a mate one and it s perfeckt
Anyone here to tell me the honest Truth about their flips? I just bought the Flip 4 on offer but im really afraid it wont last me. Im heart broken because all of the bad experiences I've read online. 💔
@obamabinbiden9762 after 3 weeks I can tell you it's performing pretty well. The cameras are really good. I work with social media and they gave me what it needed.
Battery is not enough for a full day of usage, but it's fine. And the phone feels good. It's only my mind that keeps telling me something's gonna happen lol. But I can assure you one thing: Foldables are not meant to last 4 years. Not if you regularly use them. Maybe 2 years.
I am the flip user for almost a year now.sometimes i forget my phone when im sleeping and the next morning its under my body and its still fine.i drop it once and thank god its still fine.only the screen protecter only last for 3 month.u got 3 chance to change it for free.for me its been great.i love my flip.and buy it straight from samsung center.but still u have to be extra careful.
I have this unit now 1 year 3 months already my problem automatic shutdown then difficult to on the unit need to charge pa.
Hey👋 I want to buy this phone but the person who will sel it said that it has a bad battery life and it will give me headaches. I don't use my phone that much 3 4 hours a day and I'm gonna go to college this year I hope but I have a tablet to use . What do you recommend? I really love this phone
I recommend getting a refurbished one with a warranty from backmarket or similar
Crease is not issue for me.its normal cause is foldable phone
Do you have a case recommendation for this phone? Thanks!
I do not, but anything that has a softer compound to allow for softer impact if it does fall
Hi ! Where is your green cover from ?
"There most fragile phone.." ? First time I've heard that statement.
Is there a more fragile Samsung phone you had in mind that isn't a foldable phone?
After a year the factory issued screen protector has pulled away from the screen, cracked, collects dirt, ruins the image on the screen and makes shooter/aiming games impossible to play because my finger no longer touches the dip in the screen. So yes the folding phone is a problem.
In the phone's warranty fine print it says that have to ship the phone back to Korea to get it fixed as a warranty repair and the reviews for the aftermarket screen protectors were terrible when went looking.
I want to ask.. i saw one guy with flip 4 and the middle screen just kind of pop out and its like the glue got weak..
I have heard of that happening but I personally never experienced it
Daniel, very super video. My gf loves that phone!
Can I buy samsung z flip 4 bro
Can the flip last for 5 years? I usually switch phone every 5yrs. Btw I am a ios user planning to shift into flip this year
The entire z flip series hasn't existed for 5 years, so no one really knows. I want to say yes, but only time will tell.
After watching this JerryRigEverything video I'm convinced this phone will last 5 years. That's why I just ordered a renewed one for $330 (256gb model). I was never ever going to pay $1000 for a phone. Samsung also promises Android updates for 5 years which is way better than Motorola's 3 years.

No the bubble in the middle and cracks that will come so don’t
I had to get a new phone twice because the screen cracked glad I have insurance
The screen cracked on your flip 4? Which screen?
Ur so funny I liked this video 😂
Thanks!

Worst phone I ever owned for the price. The little front screen is worthless
Is that the only reason it's the worst phone you ever had?
@@DanielsTechStudio fair enough question. The other reasons are the hinge is super fragile and poorly designed, The processor is slowed down by all the bloated software. And simply did not have enough programs to utilize the front display and last not everyone buys a phone for specs sometimes people prefer a rugged design. I am an outdoor type of person and within my thought process I was thinking phone would be more rugged and more protection if it folded? but I was let down because phone is fragile and you have to be very careful or it will break easy in my experience.
Gotcha. That makes sense. Yeah I wouldn't want this for lots of outdoor ruggedness either. I think the flip 5 will have a much more useful front screen (like the moto razr+), but it's still a folding phone and inherently won't be up to the rugged task.
Thanks for sharing. I always like hearing other people's reasons/use cases 👍🏾
I love that the front screen is small. I have a flip3 btw. I don't want to see everything all the time. Just need to see the time, skip to the next song and see my daily steps. I love that I can close it when using my earphones. It can fall a million times and the main screen is never damaged. I always have a cover. I love how I can just put it up somewhere half folded and it doesn't fall. I use it to put on mascara on the train or calling while on the couch without needing a phone standard to put it in. I just wish the camera would get as good as other cameras.
+rogerparker1415 ..... it's not a rugged ph., get a rugged ph. if u need a rugged ph.

Plz comments me
Hi sir can i have 5 dollars to buy robux
You may not
My flip 4 screen broken after 10months use. Warranty is not claimable cause they diagnosed it as human error.
Meh, you can skip a lot of problem, hassle and frustration in yr life just by not buying this product 😅 good luck to all flip user
Well... Was it human error or no?
This phone has screen issues! DONT DO IT!
It happens if u drop it too many time💀if your a clumsy person don’t buy it but if not it’s a good phone
Worst durable mobile flip 4..
I don't understand the purpose of this phone ... why on earth it exists ...its a parasite. Fold at least give me a 8 inch tab with amoled which sadly samsung doesn't make anymore but i will still prefer a 8 inch tab over fold
Pretty sure a major reason it exists is for nostalgia, and people love nostalgia. Also, lots of people like this form factor
Because when its folded, you can use it only for essential things only
People want fun things. Stop being dramatic.
@@lavone5541right ??? Lmaooooo. it gets small, it’s cool that’s it . I want to change my s22 ultra for the 5 or 4 .
Why would you buy apple when android and windows do way more things and a lot better and CHEAPER?
this phone sucks, there is nothing good about it, if I could get out of the contract I would in a second. Its heavy, especially with case on it, camera sucks, crease in the middle makes scrolling almost impossible......my opinion only, but my family hates it to....................GET RID OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I love the video but I want to correct you if I may. Everything you need to use the phone you don't need to flip it. You can make calls from the screen check the time messages etc . That little screen is very help GG ul
Helpful ( sorry)
I've been dying to get this phone for a while, but i drop my phone like 3 times a day, and alot of people say its too fragile🥲
They make really sturdy cases for it. At least if you drop you'll never crack your screen, just the back lol
@DanielsTechStudio well in that case, i might actually get it! But would you recommend for a college student? I mean, I'm outside for most of the day
Yeah I'd recommend for a college student. Just make sure you have a sturdy case if you're gonna be outside all day.
@DanielsTechStudio Alright, thank you for your help🥰
No problem
