Are you thinking of buying a foldable phone?

Dimitri Clo

I love my fold3 !

ljacobs357

Just use the front camera with the display for a selfie. It works just fine. The flex mode is great once you adjust, particularly for photos and video. The compactness is good, so no more brick phone for me. The more you spend time with the Flip the better the experience. One week is not enough. But I’m not a power user.

Rickie Khosla

Mr Mobile is coming for you guys. Just watch out!

Andrew Davies

Why anyone would pay the extortionate amount of money for either of these phones only to have a crease in the middle of their screen is absolute madness to me. Would you accept a TV with a similar dent running down the middle of the screen or would you take it back? Crazy.

Seth Green

My boy say he scuffed it by putting it down I say you dropped it doc

Matheus Aguiar

Just gimme a Fold or Flip, I'm definitely ready

adir mugrabi

never buy a fold or flip style, both styles suck!
only mate xs style!!!

Thresh

The selfie issue is such a first world problem 😂 "There's a button, but it's too tiny for a $2k phone" lmao 😂 Dunno if you expected it to be bigger for the price or what but it's just a button press. Anyone thinking is SUCH A BIG DRAG really needs to re consider life problems.

losthighway53

Still have my LG V60. Definitely the right choice. Truly foldable screens have way to many issues related to stress fracturing

Danyaal Butt

You guys should switch phones for another week and do a shorter review on them.

Talking Stuff

I use the Samsung standing case with pen which allows me to place it(fold4) on a table and also use a Bluetooth foldable keyboard for typing.
I liked that I don't have to open my fold 4 for everything and most tasks can be performed with it folded. I unfold only like 10% of the time, but i do have the bigger screen if required.

Guil Vasq

A beeper lmao 🤣, I was thinking on the Flip 4 to take with me on trail runs or hiking cuz of the size. I think I'll pass on a foldable and stick with my Pixel 5a for that. Great video thanks.

Jose Barajas

the samsung keyboard can be setup many other ways, the zfold is 1799…. not 1899…. and the carriers have $1000 trade in deals

Nancy Femmer

I won a Z Fold 4 and love it.
At 65 yrs old its hard to get use to new technology.
I've found that actually use it a lot more than I thought.
I'm getting use the split keyboard.
Also put a SupCase on it.
Yes its kinda heavy. Still learning about it.
I went from a Pixel 3a to this Fold and still find myself going back to my Pixel occasionally. 😆 My Pixel is the same size of the face on this Z Fold 4, so I'm not disappointed.
Still learning about it.

Jeremy

Here for my bear daddies ❤

Mark Seah

if there is an easier way to flip open the flip phone, and it comes without the crease, has a much bigger front screen for selfie, i think it would petty much worth it! hope we can see it on flip 5!

ADiTYA BaiD

Really like this style of review…….keeping things simple👍🏻

Crazy Kiwi Gaming

Fold 4 cost me 4000 here in New Zealand

Crazy Kiwi Gaming

You male my heart hurt. 80$ for a cheep case it comes with a inbuilt stand (found that afterwards nice addeution) protects both sides

e3vL1

I'll get it if it's affordable, or gifted to me

Two Continents Not One

I love my z flip 4. Is it for power users? Not really. As someone who doesn't use his phone for productivity it's great. Simply being able to do a glance at notifications without turning my entire screen on is also great, and it's easy to clear notifications. As far as selfies, why bother using the front or opening the thing for that camera when you can just take a selfie with the back camera while it's closed?

stabbyronnie

There is a lot of pretentiousness here! Acting like either of you are worried about the weight or form factor because of mobility is just hilarious. Neither of you are very mobile.

Nasid Habib

I got a flip 4 for my mom. She came to it from the Iphone 5S so a huge generation gap. Just the folding action alone which resembles a small vanity mirror made her feel extatic. She is loving it.

Woody Black

I bought a Z Flip 3 a few months back solely because it reminded of the Gameboy Advance SP. I'm a happy customer!

bad65dad

The software is beast and there's cases with stand and pen holder on it you guys just buy a case. I've had my Z Fold 3 over a year it's fine as is and best productive phone made . You can change the to it all together you guys don't know how work the phone go to setting.

Sr H

A couple months too late.

Bobby Hudson

Y’all complain about the fold like women or extremely soft man. It’s a 7.6in screen that folds into a one handed phone. With all the hardware that’s in, it’s not going to be light. Regardless, if you a phone on it’s face it’s going to get scratched or scuffed. That’s why you put a case on it. They’re wireless car chargers that will hold the phone perfectly snug without any issues. I’m a truck driver and my fold 4 doesn’t fall out.

"my smartphone not jiggle jiggle, it folds" noice 👍

I like to see you wiggle wiggle, for sure

Ahmed Salman

fold 4 is state of the art for slabs, foldables and tablets 😄

EibonTheWise

I disagree with the cons for the Fold4 completely. I find there is no wrong way to put this down; with the kickstand case included by samsung, I can put this thing in almost anyway to fit my needs. I don't think it's too heavy at all (maybe lift some weights and get stronger). I'm actually enjoying the samsung keyboard and all of the customizations provided by Goodlock. The speakers are great, the huge display is amazing (especially on my flights while traveling for work), battery life has been killer, and this is the snappiest phone I've ever seen in action. I think this is the best phone/tablet I've ever had. I don't think I'll ever go back to a regular phone. Samsung knocked it out of the stratosphere!

Krzysztof Nowacki

I've just switched to Flip 4. For me it is my first foldable. And tbh I am loving it all that time. Two main advantages for me are small form factor and that additional "barrier" you were talking about. It really help me to step away from loosing too much time on facebook and stuff like that. Now it is just: telephone beeps, I am looking at that little cover screen, see it is only a FB or anything not that important and then just dismiss it for later.

SouthFacedWindows

So many 1st world problems. You guys make me sick

Brad

I'm watching this from a Fold 3, and as someone who doesn't have a computer or laptop and uses their phone for everything this device is a dream come true! I'm never going back to traditional phones again because this thing let's me get way more done. It is basically a brick when folded, and hefty, but it's more or less two phones welded together, so 🤷🏻‍♂️ Otherwise I love these things!

Mind Full

Awesome video guys! Love the discussion

Nitro

I sent my fold 4 back because of the front screen was too narrow for me.

Red Dragon

i use a z fold 2 on a daily and tbh the folding got old quick but its a neat party trick

evska2012

Z flip is a girls phone and it looks amazing 😍

Gergo Viczian

This didn't make sense. Why would you carry a thick, narrow device if you only use it folded? Then, when you get home, you play Call Of Duty on the phone when you have the same game on your XBox hooked up the TV???? You complimented the camera, but your S22 has better cameras, wider screen and thinner body. And your TV is much bigger than the unfolded inner screen… So your review is basically this device is useless for you.

Mark B

You scuffed up the screen protector, not the screen. And no case. Stop spreading fud. You guys are terrible reviewers. Learn from other channels rookies. Time to unfollow.

LEE DARLEY

Oh dear, now I understand the channel’s decline.

James Parker

Don't like the crease, still waiting for a rolling screen. A built in projector would be nice to. And a cup holder.
Do you know you can make a grilled cheese sandwich with two cell phones.

Domo

I love my Fold 3 phone. I could never see myself going back to non fold phones.

Ajay Kumar

What happened to Android authority views have declined

G Four Gadget

Bold of you to assume I can afford a foldable 🥲
