What are your thoughts on the Flip 4? Thanks so much for watching!

Love these kinds of reviews. Its important to know whether a phone holds up after a few months rather than hearing some specs right after it's opened. Keep up the good stuff man.

ngl the thing that makes me want this the most is the ability to like... truly 'turn off' your phone. like obv every phone can turn off but the idea that the screen totally closes so you dont psychologically feel like you can use it at any minute is amazing.

I am switching back to a galaxy. iPhone is just so boring to me.

Got mine last week and I have to say this phone gets me excited about tech again. Coming from a 14 year long iPhone user, I hope it means something. Also, the outer screen is a game changer. I don’t find myself looking at my phone all the time anymore. Kudos to the design. Thanks for the review

I've had this phone since launch. Absolutely the best phone ive ever owned. Really good camera, beautiful design, surprisingly sturdy. I can't imagine ever using a non-flip phone again

[KenLucon]

Absolutely love my Z Flip 4 ❤️

-Compact (fits well in my body bag)
-Great Performance (buttery smooth)
-Beautiful Design (i have the pink gold one)
-Great Display (as Samsung always does)
-Cover Screen Features (makes me open the phone when really needed, less useless time spent on phone 😆)
-Flip Mode Features (as a phone stand, and screen functionality)

I just wish the battery to have been better--have to carry a power bank on long travels.

Samsung should introduce a Magsafe-like feature on their future phones. Especially on their Flip series. I installed a magnet ring on one of my Flip's cases and bought a Magsafe compatible power bank/external battery pack. It is a wonderful experience 😊

I am obsessed with the Samsung flip 4 ! I have the 256GB version purple. But the hinge started making clicking noise just after 2 weeks . Sent it to samsung thr customer service was fantastic they covered it under warranty got a email today saying it was fixed and I should get it back Monday!!!! I'm so happy cause this phone is the best phone I've ever used and I miss it alot!!!

[gabrielcorporant]

I needed this video, instead of focusing on some boring spec numbers in the screen you kept your focus on the practical use of the phone. Many tech youtubers focus so much just on creating hype, you on the other hand, are very easy to trust. Stay awesome bro, God Bless.

I woke up this morning and I thought - I miss my flip phones from the 00s, this is the perfect modern day update on those nostalgic phones back in the day. This review is great, I'm going to upgrade to this phone 😁 thanks!

Using my flip 4 for 4 months now as well. The battery life has improved so much since day 1 after updates, and video quality has improved so much too.

I've had mine for 5 months, and I love it! I'll never go back to a non-flip phone. That being said I hope Samsung makes the following improvements and IMHO these changes would make this the perfect phone:
1.) A larger outer screen to allow MUCH more usage with the phone closed.
2.) A better camera. The current camera isn't bad, but it could definitely be better. Add an optical zoom as well.
3.) A little bit better battery life. It is better than previous generations, but it still could be a little better.
4.) A less slippery exterior. This thing is slippery and could easily slip out of someone's hand.
5.) A less stiff hinge. It needs to open easier with one hand. It should be easy, smooth and seemless, and the screen touch capability halted while the phone is being opened. I sometimes inadvertently tap a button while opening the phone. The phone cannot be opened by the sides only. YOU HAVE to touch the top portion of the screen to push it open once you get the two halves separated. This has caused the accidental activation of applications. If the screen were easier to open by using the sides only, this would not be an issue. It needs to remain closed when closed, but EASILY opened.

im finally making the jump from being an apple user for over a decade since middle school… im scared but excited and know that once i get over the learning curve i’ll probably be so happy i made the switch. i’m so excited to get my z flip 4!

[manwol]

Been an iphone user ever since iphone 5 and i switched from iphone 13 pro max to zflip 4 because im just tired of apple icloud, its bluetooth that only works on apple products and its limitations esp with transferring files. I have to admit my life became easier plus i use this phone too to shoot fast moving objects and that it's very compact. Battery life is good too. I love thr camera as well, it had so many features. Apple just became so boring for me. I have been having so much fun with this phone and a lot of people find it adorable they alwYs light up when they see my phone! Taking videos in public are also made easy with its flip feature, i can place it in top of anywhere and use palm recognition without having to set the timer! The efficiency with this phone cannot be compared with iphone's repetitive design. The photos from this phone are also good

I was trying to decide between the S23 and the flip 4, now I am convinced that I want the flip4. I really miss having a flip phone. I love the idea that I can put it in my jacket or hoody pocket without it falling out. Thanks for the review!

[JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Just got the 4, my 1st flip and loving it so far. Love the size & features. Been using an iPhone since I don’t really remember, but the transition isn’t too bad. Ordered a case from amazon, hate it, gotta try again. Anyone have any suggestions for a case, and should I also get a screen protector? Thank you for this video.

[angelaluis]

Will they release flip 5 this year? I don't know if I should buy flip4 now or wait for flip5.

[illuminic]

I’ve been wanting this phone on and off since the 1st iteration and was really considering it before I watched this video. All I have to say is you’ve convinced me, I need the fun of this phone in my life instead of the boredom of my IPhone.

[ljacobs]

My Flip 4 had been great. Only wish it had a telephoto lens and more usable cover screen, but Cover Launcher does add functionality.

[JulienGeffriaud]

Loved my flip 4, for about 7 months until the screen stopped working. Despite never falling and no damage (only scratches to the sides of the device due to sand) to the screen/body, Samsung refused to honor the warranty and asked me half of the price I paid for the device to repair it.
This was my first Samsung, I had fell in love with the device but the decision on my warranty made me never want to buy Samsung again. I have talk to many people with the same screen issue though 😢
