I switched to an iPhone 11 after using this for more than 6 months. I will say you become really patient, your screen time reduce tremendously and... it's aesthetically adorable. For what it is, it's worth it if it makes you happy. On the long run... you might struggle a little when you really need your phone to run fast for something important. Nonetheless, it was a very happy period for me and I enjoyed it very much. Hope you're enjoying the experience so far!

Edit: This model is called the Samsung Galaxy Folder 2.
This is NOT the Z Flip Flagship phone series. To those spreading misinformation stop it.

You know what I miss? Does anyone remember when we were able to add the dangling charms to your phone? I loved it!....but I was also the one that got the glowing antennae and battery in the design of a dragon lol

I wish they sold these here, I would absolutely get one

i hope they make a refreshed 2023 or even 2024 release of this phone. it would be good for people like me who only really use their phone outside the home. im usually on my mac/computer when im at home because i prefer the bigger screen and it would be great

I am still praying that flip phones and normal keypad phones make a comeback. It took me years to decide to get my first smartphone just because I never really liked how they looked and because I loved my Motorola Flip at this time. I know that in Korea a few Android Flips got released, which looked really cool, but were never really available here in the West. :(
I felt quite nostalgic watching this.

I was always obsessed with old school Japanese Keitai flip phones. I had one in Highschool (DOCOMO Sharp SH-10C lol I can' believe I still remember the name) and it had a lot of limitations but it was still one of my favorite phones ever. To this day I don't think any of my other phones had a better camera. I got another Keitai a few years ago, it was a smartphone hybrid very much like this one but the screen could flip around and fold back down so you could also use it as a regular smart phone (FREETEL Musashi was the make and model). Now I own the Flip 3 lol. I hope someday Samsung will bring these back!!

As a '95 baby, this unboxing was a surprisingly super nostalgic trip to memory lane. It really reminded me of my 11 y.o self getting her very first phone-- a flip one ofc! It was the cutest thing, that's for sure. But texting friends was also a pain in the ass 😂 I actually miss that silly thing now. Loved your video 🥰

Wait? “You can use social media” …..”it’s great if you want to disconnect from social media” ….. “the biggest disappointment is that it doesn’t works well with social media” ???? 😭

really cool to hear that this phone is blowing up!! I hope the new popularity brings a revival to these kinds of phones!

I WAS JUST- I WAS JUST LOOKING INTO THESE KINDS OF PHONES THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE I MISSED THEIR DESIGN AND HOW CUTE AND FASHIONISTA YOU COULD GET WITH THESE PHONES I LOVE IT

omg this was recommended in my page and honestly i get so many nostalgic memories about this phone. back then there's no touchscreen in the flip phones so you have to use the keypads really well. some phones have protective covers since the letters could fade out.

texting using this phone is also easy! you can type out any messages without looking as long as you memorize where the letters and punctuations are and how many taps you need to insert the letters. i hope you have fun using it! ❤

I am a Korean and I felt proud to use this Galaxy folder phone abroad. I currently use the Galaxy A53. Might be awkward using a translator

[mri.mp]

this is adorable! i love the shots of this, the bgm choice and overall, the editing of this, and the phone itself is absolutely cute :D
i love how samsung is lately going back in flip phones, as a flip phone sucker too, i really love how they merge modern smartphones with them so they aren't only for calls and messages 👀

also little note, happy late 2023, i hope you can upload more this year :) take breaks whenever you need them, take your time to make these videos great, and don't stress yourself ^^

For fellow europeans, there actually is a newer phone like this on the market. It's the Nokia 2720 flip and comes in a few colors :)

[kxendgu]

i wish flip phones like these would have a comeback
i am obsessed with phones like these but it's impossible to find one that can be used with my mobile carrier😅

[Taireyn]

I wonder why, but that is an aesthetic I saw sooo often when I was in Korea, the small bears, bunnies etc on phones and as just general accessoires

[daitooka]

I always wondered if something like this existed. Unfortunately, they never released where I’m from but these seem great!

[sofiezhao-yx]

omg these r literally so cute! my fave type of phone frr

[lindy]

This is sooo cute! I would've totally gotten it if I didn't get my z flip 3 last year. I honestly love flip phones and every since I've gotten my z flip 3, I feel like it's the phone that I've felt is really mine and caters to my taste. I don't think I could go back to the traditional flat iPhones or galaxies.

These are good for kids. Having a somewhat phone that is modern but also with some limited features, won't be a huge distraction for them, but also is helpful for them to access the Internet and be a communication tool with the parent. All of this without depriving them of the commodity of modern technology :)
