I have fallen IN LOVE with this phone, and have completely ignored my iPhone. But my only issue is the inner screen...like how easy it is to get scratched. But that's it. If they do make an upgrade, I hope they make one at 4000mah, and just make a stronger, durable inner screen. Everything else is PERFECT.

Things I love with my Flip 4... - pocketability - Flex Mode especially during phone calls. - battery life - Hinge durability compared to the Flip 3 Its a solid device with no hiccups whatsoever. I am still trying to get used to the crease. I also switch from one case to another. Currently, using the Bridgetown Gear4 with my Flip 4. So far so good! Great review btw 😊
So here is an explanation to the "rainbowing" you mentioned at 1:54. So first, a display is made out of pixels. These pixels are made out of three sub-pixels: 1 red one, 1 green one and 1 blue one. These subpixels are independently lit up from a value of 0 to 255 to create color. A white pixel must have all subpixels at 255, meaning the three subpixels to create every other color you can see have to be fully lit. The reason that it is on the screenprotector but not on the glass, is because the plastic kind of reflects the subpixels and merges their color to some extend. Glass does not do that. This is why the "rainbowing" only occurs on the screenprotector.

And what about the crease on the display, does it get worse over time?
I have a Flip 4 and no issues so far. We all know that this is a sensitive phone so you gotta be extra careful w/ this.
No problem with mine. Would like a telephoto lens and more usable cover screen. But cover launcher helps.
Let me get this straight, just because someone says its bad cuz it heats/lags or whatever, that doesn't mean its the phone problem, like let's be honest, the way everyone has different problems is cuz they use the phone differently. People utterly destroy their phones and blame samsung by saying "samsung is bad" or "i wish i never bought this" like have some self-reflection. This video is a review not a fact, keep that in mind!
My old pixel 2 had the exact same video/audio issue after I dropped it a few years ago, so I believe you! I ended up replacing it before seeing if it would go away on its own, but I remember not being able to find anything on it at the time. Probably just a super rare thing. Thank you for the review! I'm trying to move away from pixels and the flip phones have really enticed me for the nostalgia factor, but I've been scared to jump because I tend to hold on to my phone's for a long time. This has been informative.
thank you for giving an actual run down and not just talking about how opening it with 2 hands is inconvenient lol. You're the first video I've seen that mentions the flip 3 having heat issues which a lot of videos I've watched glossed over.
I guess There’s a reason why some cellular providers are accepting many Samsung phones as a complete free trade in towards the zflip 4. The screens are becoming faulty within the first year of use. I was going to trade in a s22 towards the zflip 4 and the retail seller was candid with me, he said quite a bit of customers were upset bringing their phones back showing them that there was progressive damage around the crease with the display.
Thank you for your video, I am thinking of buying a Z flip myself, would you recommend it?
For the rainbow line don't worry it's the screen protector that got scratched. I have a z flip 3 and I scratched my screen protector (not at the crease) too and that line appeared.

Just please keep in mind that it's still a work in progress and Samsung themselves give you some more warranties than any other phone company would, just because they probably haven't had enough time to test for everything there may or may not be. Sure, it's amazing looking and I promise just a huge attention magnet (I have never before in my entire life been starred at as much as with this phone), but sometimes it really tires you up to be worried for you phone sooo much while simultaneously seeing how your friends just throw around their iphones without giving it much thought...

Hola, estaba ahorrando para comprar el z flip 5...pero despues de algunos videos y posts, la pantalla no creo que sea duradera. Yo no compro cada año, el que tengo ahora tiene 4 años y la batteria ya esta mostrando su edad. Pienso que Samsung deberia de tener una garantia especial para las pantallas flip y fold, unos 3 años si es que el daño es no causado por el usuario. Me encanta lo pequeño que es y que no necesito abrirlo para interactuar con mensajes, ya me canse de telefonos grandes que son incomodos de llevar en el bolsillo. Pero casi 1000 dolares es mucho dinero si tengo que lidiar con problems de pantalla. Espero que el tuyo dure bastante. Saludos.
Im using my zflip 4 for 5 months now. I haven't had any problem so far. Also, my coworker is also using the zflip 4, and he doesn't have the problem either. Maybe we are lucky
World love to see another update, whenever you're ready, since the newer flip is around the corner
Hey man, thanks for the video! The battery life you mention is crazy, I got my flip last week and it's predicted to last for 16h but realistically i can get 3-4h of screen time max :( Does it really get that much better over time? Are you using power saving mode (60hz)?
Sup my boy Chilly! Samsung finally got it right on the 4th try! S23 trade in values are low, gonna keep my flip 4 til the Flip 5 arrives! I would love to see you do some gadget and gizmo reviews. Could be newer topics like the Steam Deck, or maybe your favorite childhood device like an iPod or 3ds. I think it would be fun for you to do more tech reviews new or old and see where they go.

Like your honest review.
I charged my phone 2 days ago and it’s night time so tomorrow will be day 3 and my iPhone 13 Pro Max is at 57%, switching to z flip 4 in a week… hope it holds up
Waiting to get my hands on one!
Yeah I have the same thing with my z flip 4 except the screen protector is horrible so I'm planning on getting a new one soon
How about doing replacing my phone with watch again but samsung version 🤔
Mime flip 4 has broken screen on the middle after 3 month. Shall sell it after screen replacement? Just worried that same thing will happen with the new screen
Between S23 Ultra or galaxy Z flip 4 both of them which one is best
i'm using it, so amazing, very interesting, smooth android, specially the emoji on front screen so cute
My crease is cracked and all blacked and the upper portion of the screen is jacked as far as the display there's 2 bright green stripes on the display that extends down from the camera to the crease....it also had a hinge protection case 😭Currently dealing with the run around with the insurance company and Samsung.
ive had mine for a few months now and ive had noo problems! so everyone reading this, thinking of buying it, go ahead! my phone still feels new and the same as when i got it, though i have been very careful and only dropped it a few times

hi Bro. want to ask your flip 4.. when your flip the phone or close , are the magnet its not strong
@ChilledFossilofficial
Жыл бұрын
There are oppositely charged magnets on each of the tips that I tested for myself but I have not had any issues with their strength at all - no real changes on the closure or the space between the display when closed. I remember the ZF3 had a "rugged" sandpaper-esque feel at times when closing it after a while of usage but none of that here :)
Keep a case on these phones lol, After a year with my Z Flip 3, it had a fall from my Desk. Not a very far fall at all, but for some reason it created a air pocket all the way through the center of my phone ( The Crease ). Put it on the charger that night ( Wireless Charger ). That air pocket in the crease became Black (guessing from the Heat of Charging), so the top half of the Phone stopped working but the bottom did. Moral of the Story; That's why I'm buying the Z Flip 4... With a Case. I only kept the Case off of the 3 because I liked the slimness, Rookie mistake when too confident. BUT that crease does tend to give in after months of flipping.
I have recently had oppo reno2, iphone 12 mini, samsung s22 ultra and z flip 4. All the phones are different, in their way, I like the z flip, but after like a week I stopped folding it up because its useless for me, and I the screen is just a bit too narrow. I might get regular s model in futude. Or regular iphone
I still love my galaxy z flip 4
my screen also has that rainbowlike thing going on with it
The screen issue isn't its still under warranty?🤔

Dropped mine on the sidewalk and the screen shattered at the crease. Unlucky fall I guess. I love my phone though

My screen protector completely detached in the crease during mid april 2023. Bought mine a few weeks after launch, I think. So now it's hard to see through and gets dust in it. I have to replace it. Didn't even last a year, not impressed. From the point your protector first starts to get a loose triangular air bubble near the edge, it takes about a week or two for the air buble to cross all the way across.

Also, the official samsung phone case SUCKS big time. I bought one in mid januay, and it is already broken. The strap snapped off also in april. And the corners near the hinge, of the bottom half part, have cracks, and the thin part over the charging port snapped. It just self destructs. I didnt drop it.
Bro the crack on the screen in the thumbnail is the same as my wall paper.

Hey so I am really considering buying this phone. Are there any tips to keep it in good condition? Why are people experiencing the hinge breaking ..and screen not working. Is it really that bad of a phone? Is it smart to take the risk? Or could this be fixed with a good screen protector and thinner case ? I hope you answer !

I got mine from Best Buy and the hinge broke after a month, but I got a replacement for free since I had the best buy protection which is only 9 dollars a month. The hinge is more fragile than the previous versions but the battery is almost double the last one. If you can baby the phone and never drop it or get some sort of protection plan I'd say it's worth it.

People, before you buy a Samsung device, you should read what I write here: I bought a Samsung flagship device a year ago and miraculously, a few days after the device's warranty expired, the device's microphones burned out, the repair requires a screen replacement at a cost of $500. Unfortunately Samsung was not willing to test the device free of charge and certainly not fix it even though there is a serious bug in their devices.

Any time
From Samsung Removal of the Galaxy Z Flip screen protector itself will not cause any screen damage as the screen protector has low adhesive power. However damage may be caused if you press the display while lifting the parting line Thus, we strongly recommend that it is best to visit a Samsung Customer Service Center for removal or reapplication. I removed my Z Flip 3's and it was fine apart from some microscratches after another 6 months, nothing noticeable. I removed my z Flip 4 last week
btw your thumbnail is so click baited💀
Z flip should be £400 not £999
What’s up with the scammy thumbnail? What do you expect people to see? Because judging by your thumbnail, it should feature a broken screen and your never buying the phone again? This just lowers your reputation and long term growth. The proper definition of misleading.
