--SMPOST--Is flipping better than folding? Here's my review of the Galaxy Flip 3, as an iPhone User.

[yarinahernandez]

I love the Z flip 3, I’m an iPhone user and it made me put my iPhone aside, I just can’t get enough of it, the honeymoon phase hasn’t passed yet, I’m just in love with it. I know battery it’s horrible, but it works for me.

[farlado]

The Z Flip3 was what made me finally switch from my iPhone. I'm a huge minimalist and make it a point that I ensure everything in my tech usage is deliberate. The Flip3 forces me to really *want* to have to flip the phone open to do anything, which has helped me keep it from getting in the way of my life.

Samsung was little bit late with delivery of pre-orders in India but luckily I received my unit yesterday. It's been ages since I felt so satisfied with the ergonomics and aesthetics of a smartphone (last one that made my jaws drop was iPhone 5S/SE). I switched from Note 20 ultra and don't feel any downgrade, apart from little bit less battery backup for my usage and quality drop in selfie camera and no 60fps video recording in ultrawide lens. But I can look past these if this device proves to be durable through time. So far, this is amazing and absolutely in love with it!

He is a Isheep and he admires it, also probably one of the most detailed and to the point video on flip 3 I have seen! Respect your honesty and hard work brother!

Actually I’m iOS user for several years (iPhones + iPad) and was fanatic to them but the z flip 3 made me change my mind completely and made me fall in love to “Android” for reasons :
1- The design which is unique for a smartphone,
2- The flexibility in usage with the outside screen,
3- The variety of applications more than iPhone .
So I took the decision to get z flip 3 and Samsung galaxy S7+ (tablet) .
Thanks Samsung for changing my mind towards the Android system 🎩
Hope Apple stop (enslaving) its fans ✋

I switched from an iPhone 12 to the Flip 3 and I love it! The Flip 3 feels so much more refreshing of a design than any iPhone. And despite being on the same carrier, same plan, the 5G on the Flip 3 feels a little more reliable and faster than my iPhone. Camera's seem pretty on-par with the iPhone 12, which was honestly already more than what I really needed from a phone. Battery is a non-issue since I don't really find myself using the main display that much, I actually use the cover screen a lot more than I thought I would.

[benodaboy]

Thanks for this. This addressed all the issues I was concerned about in making the switch. For me having the screen completely protected in my pocket is a big win. I think I’m making the switch.

[OnlyAntonis]

From all the Flip reviews I watched this was hands down the best video I’ve watched 👏 Respect! 🙌

[paulmarca]

It's my first flexible device and I really enjoy it. I needed a new design, far from the usual shape, and I can't be happier 😊
And the battery is faaar better than I thought, like 5 hours of SOT.
And, BTW, great video!👌🏻

Mr Matheson, with as much as I love my iPhone (and the fact that everyone in my family has an iPhone, making iMessage that much more fluid) you sure make Androids look more amazing then ever!! Love your content!!

[hrushikeshjog]

I just love it's design especially the white one it's just beautiful

[CarrieRawwz]

Literally got the flip 3 today after 14 years with iPhone and wow 🤩

[panosb]

being an apple enthusiast since 2007. I have literally purchased everything with an apple logo behind. My current phone after 14 years: Z FLIP 3!!! GOT BORED with the same form factor of phones. Also Samsung is 3 years now in folding phones. Apple will not join till 2023-2024. So kudos to samsung. My money went to the flip this year and i love it!!!! Sorry making "pride" products and start inventing once again

[matheusheringer]

I was a iphone user for like 8 years, now im with the z flip 3 😁

[DecAllTimeAlways]

I switched but not from iOS to Android. I did that 8 years ago. I made the switch to just using flip phones. Razr 5G is my daily driver. Flip 3 is my Surface Duo mini.

Man you learning about android quicker than ever. I don't know of security is an issue on android. Though android requires you to be a tad smarter than apple users because it won't always block the bad stuff, you are the administrator, you're the brain, use your brain, that's android security because with such a wide gamet comes caveats and it's just inevitable (But I wish android oems focus more on the ui smoothness the way apple does, just can't get over iPhone's animations)

[parkergray]

this is me right now, as an iPhone user, just bought a 13 pro, but I want the z flip SO BAD right now

[girlonthemovie]

I'm obsessed with my Samsung galaxy Z flip 3. I got the lavender color.

[mtdew]

So as an avid android user. The thing I find most hilarious about this review is about 90% of the features you listed have been on android phones for quite some time now. And most of the drawbacks you listed are specific to the fodable phones as they are new tech and by comparison a traditional android flagship phone wouldn't have those minor issues as that tech has been perfected over the years

[BernardWilkinson]

Finally a phone that easily fits in my pocket yet has a large screen.
