Galaxy Z Flip 4 revisit: 6 months later

Zach takes another look at the Galaxy Z Flip 4 as we head towards the Z Flip 5, releasing later this year.

I've had it for about 4 months now... I still love it. My main 2 gripes are: the battery (it sucks!) and the lack of vertical apps (offiicially) on the secondary screen. Spotify would be awesome just like that. And I gotta agree with him: that "clack!" when you close it... Never gets old! (Specially for old dudes like myself)

[bleppppyyyyy]

I had mine since August (pre order}, 6 months almost. I love it! the screen still looks good and the battery usually last me a day or I charge it twice a day :3

I've had mine for 5 months now, and I love it! I will never go back to a non-flip phone. IMHO though Samsung needs to make the following improvements and this would be the perfect phone:
1.) A larger exterior screen. This would make the screen MUCH more usable without having to open the phone for virtually every task.
2.) A better camera. The current camera is good, but it could be better. Also add an optical zoom.
3.) Battery life has been increasing with each generation, but could still stand for more.
4.) A hinge design that is easier to open one handed!! This hinge is pretty stiff.

Really well done. No jokes, to the point and edited just right. I wish more videos went like this. 👍

It's nice to know that it still holds up well after six months. 🐬🐬

Great review as usual, what I am really curious about is how this phone is going to age. I don't like buying the latest and the greatest, I prefer holding on to my phones for as long as possible. With the hinge, there's always an unknown factor involved and if I want my phone to last me atleast five years, buying a foldable as they are now is really not the best idea. But I will always be open to the idea of buying one in the future.

I own it, had to change the screen once cause green light started to appear and then it became a black line on the hinge that started to spread :\
I really enjoy the phone, love how it fits on the pocket and it's super cute! Takes better pics than my s10+ which I've owned for 4+ years (that's to be expected but still lol), but after that one screen change I really do feel like in a year+ (screen not changing permitted) I might switch to the regular galaxy line again... and perhaps in 10 years or so I could retry a flip

Ive had the flip 4 screen changed twice in less than 6 months because of the same issue with hinge not opening uniformly or something and it starts with a line down the crease then grows as a blob and engulf the whole screen. Exact same issue, no drops and treated with extra caution, but I swear these foldables arent yet battle ready for daily use.

just got my flip 4 on Tuesday and i am loving it!

I’ve had an iPhone since like 2010, and this has been the first phone to really tempt me away. I want to hold off until I see the z flip 5 this summer, but I might be ready to make the switch 👀🐬

[philipblom]

I've had mine for a few months now. I love it! The only downside is that it's not durable At All🙈. My hinge broke after an 1m drop on a carpet... Safe to say I'm happy I've got a good insurance🤣

Potato! Good one as usual Zach...missing your videos on your channels, especially your customization videos...hope you will be uploading soon

[BILBOBAGGIN]

Great video :) thank you ! just a question what games were two games were you playing at 4:17 and 4:26 thank you

I got my Flip 4 a month ago, well aware of the Flip 5 coming… And I love it. Yes I’ll miss out on a few new nuances with the Flip 5, but I’ll be okay. I didn’t want to wait. And now that it’s been my daily driver. I know I couldn’t have waited… I love this Flip 4. I also have an S22 Ultra. And iPhone 12 Pro… I digress. Z Flip 4 has my heart. Z Flip 5 will be awesome for new users ready when it releases- but when you’re someone like me- you look at the Z Flip 6 leaks, and you know to wait until August 2024. ;)

Having issues with the screen protector especially on the fold/crease area. It should be a quick fix but its a nightmare here in the Philippines to just get it fixed and replaced by samsung service centers.

[emh]

What is that lock screen setup? I really like the look of it!

[Romeoforbes]

i think i'll wait on the zflip 5!

[rerarei]

It's really a phone with its own audience.

My first and only experience with this phone is the one being displayed in the stores that sell them.. and honestly, given the amount of times it was handled by strangers might be enough of a hint on what it would feel like to personally use it (physically)..and the experience was awkward lol. The fold isn't smooth, like most hinges i suppose. Actually unlocking and scrolling and whatever on the phone did feel smooth and fast tho. It's honestly too long for portrait and narrow for landscape for my taste. But I understand what you mean that it is a "fun" phone, and I might get too distracted by it HAHA 🐬

Great review, thanks. I've had a Flip 4 for about 6 months, too, it's been my primary mobile device during this time, no complaints. That said, I think the camera is the weakest point. I have a Galaxy S10 Lite as my secondary device, a refurblished model I bought 3 months ago, but it's primary for taking photos and video. In any case, everything you spoke of resonates! Nicely produced video

I love my Flip 4. The only thing is the main screen, i cannot find a good screen protector. My main screen keeps getting little scratches and tiny dents. 😢 I’ve already gotten the free replacement but it continues to get random damages out of no where.
