Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 - 74 Hours Later!

So it’s been 74 hours, or a little over 3 days since I first got my hands on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, Samsung’s newest iteration of their foldable flippable smartphone which is building off the success of their previous Flip 3 by improving upon it in key areas like the cameras and battery life. In this video I want to talk to you about the new experiences I’ve had with the Flip 4 after half a week of personal use and share some insight on whether or not the Flip 4 could be the next phone for you. Let’s get started!

I’m highly considering purchasing this phone, I’m a current iPhone 11 user and I’m really tired of the boring aspects of apple and I love how this phone has its own uniqueness

Update!! So just received the flip 4 and right a way I'm falling in love with this phone, the interface and all is so sleek. And if you're a person who likes your phone to have some personality, this phone is it !! So many customizations !! I'm glad I switched and look forwards to more months to come with this phone 😊😊

Have been on the fence for a while because I wanted the Flip 3 but decided to skip and wait what 4 had to offer. I think this review really convinced me. Can't pre-order now but will definitely take the plunge on this one once I can afford it. Thanks for a clear and detailed review!

I have already ordered. I am so proud of samsung because they listened and made very quick adjustment. To think you can trade your flip 3 to 4 is just unbelievable. Great company 👍

I'm genuinely impressed with the quality of its cameras and the portability factor is something I would definitely pay more for.

Great review! I just pre-ordered mine today. I get the camera gripe but I think the portability and design might help me in not having to stare at my phone and get sucked into an app as much as conventional smart phones now a days. It's an appealing factor I think to consider.

The first time the flip has been a serious consideration for purchase. Made my pre order a few days ago 👍🏼

I am patiently (?) waiting for my 4 to arrive next week. I currently have the 3 and love it. I appreciated this video so I can actually see what differences to expect. The only issue I've had with my 3 is that the factory installed screen protector started to crack along the fold which, within about 3 weeks, cracked the length of the fold. This made my phone pretty much inoperable and the whole screen had to be replaced. I know I am only one of many who experienced this and truly hope this has been improved upon in the 4. Thanks for the great video Shane!

Great review! Just put in my preorder for a blue one. Had a Note 20 Ultra for 2 years, very happy with the phone but found I never really needed a heavy and powerful phone. I don't process files, do serious photography or play games on the phone, so the portability is definetely the main driver for the switch.

So I’m an Apple user, and I never thought I would say this but omg, I actually want this phone. That color purple looks amazing and I love the design so much!! I don’t like bulky and big phones, so being able to compact it is amazing.

Everything about this review was spot on. I really enjoy your production style and approach. Your body - mini action scenes - language and scene compositions are very well done. I pre-ordered the Flip 4 Aug 11, and this video definitely added to the expectation. I'm jumping down from a Note 10+ because I spend so much time developing on my computer that I'm all good with trading the larger format and pen for the flip. Oh, and thanks for the technique to try..."pour le flip!" + 1 Subbell

I'm definitely impressed by this phone, upgraded from the S20+ to this one. Battery lasts me all day (S20+ couldn't) camera's and the camera software near blew me away. I love this little piece of tech

[NewtonWhitehawk]

The way you flip it open and closed is super important and makes the phone look much more appealing. Good review! For battery life, TechDroider did a battery drain test and got 9 hours of screen time out of it. He didn't go through very many apps though so maybe that's why?

Pre-order the flip 4 on Thursday, paid only 170$ + taxes with trade-in on my Zflip3 got a 100$ pre launch coupon + all the goodies samsung have been offering, was a little bit skeptical at first since i didn't see a big reason to upgrade, but after watching your video specially with the battery life i'm 100% convinced, i think everyone who has a flip3 should benefit from this offer by samsung their upgrading almost for free !

Flip 3 user here.

The battery size increase and the reportedly more efficient chip made the upgrade worth for me. Seems to work out so far.

Oh and faster charging. This is also nice.

[lalafrancine]

Seeing this video made more excited to get mine. I love my s21 ultra but the portability of the flip 4 is what I need now especially at work. I usually use my phone on power saving mode with adaptive brightness and turning off notifications I dont need so the battery wont be a problem either. Thank you for the video! Thumbs up, very helpful.

God forbid you drop it, that's my only complaint. I dropped mines and it would not open, then it got a black line across the crease. Luckily I had, have insurance so it's covered but if you know you drop your phone often, either don't go with this one or get one with the ring/bracelet. My carrier is t-mobile and when I bought it in they were not shocked as the first thing she said when I told her what happened was "we got another one" the girl the checked me out coming over and saying "really that's the 3rd/4th one today."

These phones are not ment to be dropped, even if you go the extra mile to get the hinge protection cases. Just putting this out there, over all I absolutely love this idea!

[itspres]

I love my flip 4. Fits well into pockets with no fear of it falling out.

[anaghabhaskaran]

Pre ordered this and I'm just watching all the review to make sure I'm not gonna regret it. So far I'm very glad I got it.

[kattd]

I just preordered the Flip 4 in Pink Gold through my carrier and with that preorder I was able to get the 256GB version for the same price as the 128GB and plus a free Samsung silicone case for it as well. I can’t wait till it gets here! (:

[ilovelimpfries]

the battery improvement alone makes this a very tempting upgrade.
