In case you were wondering:
Cover screen app launcher is from Good Lock MultiStar
And the theme that I have on the Z Flip 4 is called "I like sunflowers" made by THENEW

Hope you enjoyed the vid! :)

This phone has been the only Samsung phone to ever catch my eye as a committed iPhone user. I can’t get over how cute it is!

As a brand-new Fold 4 owner, I'm really happy that the Flip 4 is also a great phone. I was never really sure of the benefit of foldables in the past, but my Fold 4 has proven without a doubt that they are the future and are ready for public consumption. I do really like the idea of the rear camera display, it doesn't seem gimmicky at all, it looks really useful 🙂

I got the Z Flip 4 after having an S21 and honestly love it. If you only use your phone for basic stuff and want something minimal it's really great. The trade-in value I got for it was extremely fair, and I travel a lot so it's the prefect phone for me. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a good travel phone.

[wynoglia]

I love that you explore so many extra stuff that relates to the practical daily usage of the phone and not just the base minimum specs and functionalities

I don't know what y'all want from a camera phone but the camera performance of the Z flip 4 is good and portrait photos specifically is significantly better than the iPhone 13 pro even without a telephoto or lidar hardware because of Samsung's new AI stereo depth mapping technology. From the camera sample comparison, it should be enough for any regular user though Z flip series *isn't* a camera centric series in Samsung's line up.

Comprehensive! Seems like the foldables are hitting a point where they're ready for wider adoption without being too compromised. I didn't like flip phones back in the day, and I don't really think I'd like the foldable form-factor - I'd rather not have to open my phone to use it. Even so, it's great that there are options, and I'm genuinely impressed with how well this device performs.

I’ve watched over 20 different reviews on this phone and I most say your review was the absolute best! Thank you for the work you put in to make this video.

Mine is on the way; can't wait to have baby Z flip 4 in my hands. Phone looks so cool and your comments guys are so encouraging.. Thanks Ella for the beautiful review🥳🥳

I love this phone!! It has definitely been improved from the Z Flip 3. The battery life depends on the user and your optimizations. I don't do a lot of gaming, connected to wifi majority of the time. I can use it from 8 to 5 at work and still at 88%. It's faster and I love the mate finish. Samsung really did listen to the consumers issues. Almost 1 week in with my Z Flip 4 and no regrets. Great review!!💜💜 See you next video.

So I’ve been using the Flip 3 since it came out, and have come to some basic conclusions regarding the form factor. As the Flip 4 is a tiny iteration of it mainly just being a hardware upgrade, this will translate directly.

The main advantages of the Flip form factor:
- Super compact. Can fit in shirt pockets, back pockets, smaller pockets, whatever. Also doesn’t fall out of pockets as easily. The convenience of the size is a pretty big deal if you need it.
- IMO the half folded state is a gimmick for pretty much everything but two things: Video calls and hands free video/photos. Being able to do this on the fly anywhere without needing a stand is where this form factor makes practical sense.
- Needing to unfold your phone is a barrier of entry. That can be seen as a pro or a con. I see it as a pro as that “annoyance” can be used as a tool to help curb bad habits of checking your screen every 30 seconds.
- The display on the back is great for selfies with the main camera. Though a feature like this isn’t reliant on folding.

Main cons:
- The crease. You do get used to it and it isn’t really noticeable except in certain lighting, but it certainly is a con.
- The soft screen. I’m one that has went without screen protectors for years as it just didn’t make sense to me to cover tough scratch resistant glass with easily scratched plastic. Never had an issue with scratched screens. However foldable have a long way to catch up on scratch resistance, so I’ve used one on my flip. Unfortunately when you’re folding and unfolding a sticker hundreds of times, it’s easy for it to become unstuck. My screen protector started peeling from the screen at the fold after less than a year and this is a common problem. Expect to need to replace the screen protector.
- Less children friendly. I’m not worried about letting a niece or nephew play a game on a bar phone as they’re unlikely to scratch it and it’s easily cleaned. However with this phone gunk from sticky fingers getting up in the hinge and the easily scratched screen is a different story…


TL;DR - The downsides of this phone are serious enough that you shouldn’t get it as a gimmick. However if you need the form factor, then its the best option out there. For my use the advantages of the form factor outweigh the disadvantages, though I’m hoping to see those disadvantages go away with each iteration.

I love my Z Flip4! I've been an iPhone user for years and I have no complaints about this phone. I don't really understand all the complaints about this phone... if you don't like a feature on this phone, you could easily go for another phone that is even possibly cheaper....
Love your videos, keep up the great content! ♡

I hope that someday these types of foldable displays will have more affordable models on the market. It's lovely and I've been eyeing it since the first ones came out, but it's not even remotely in my budget.

[OwlPhoenix]

I totally recommend this phone (ive had it for 4 days now). Its been years that I have not been this excited by a phone. So many new features that come with the flipping feature. Especially for taking pictures !

What's more, it's a great conversation starter !

The only downside is the phone heats up pretty fast when intense use (photo editing or gaming for example). Make sure you update your apps regularly.

Great review. I switched from an iPhone to Z Flip 4 and couldn't be happier. I was very hesitant to move out of the apple ecosystem, but Samsung is delivering quality all round!

[adjei]

The best flip 4 review I have seen so far. You mention details that I have not heard from anyone else, such as only half the phone being used for effective heat dissipation, and Snapdragon in all regions. Really useful to know! 👍

[icetea]

Seeing this phone everywhere really made me want one since it’s so cute 🤔 I’ve always been an iPhone user and I check my phone quite frequently, but this review definitely gave me some perspective on whether this phone would be good for me personally

[kattd]

I love the Z Flip 4! I’ve been considering getting one as my personal phone but Im tied between purple and blue as they’re both such pretty colors. I love that you can easily customize and change the entire look and aesthetic of your phone just by downloading and applying a theme, it’s always been my favorite feature of Samsung devices.

[manuphennic]

I just had a look at it in a store and I was pleasantly surprised at how high valuable it feels. However, I was quiet shocked how noticeable the line is on the screen after people saying, that they barely notice it online. It was especially noticeable when taking pictures. Guess I’ll wait another gen or so
