I'm Returning It! | Samsung Galaxy Z Flip | Comprehensive Review | First Week Impressions

[@johnburns1776]

Another great review. I did appreciate the 17 minute length, because you gave a lot of details, and a lot of specifics. I am with you Tony. I love the form factor, but I agree with your comments about needing an external screen. I too, keep a shopping list on my phone, and needing to re-open, unlock, and get to the app could be frustrating. An external screen would have been great. As you say, maybe the next generation will address some of these issues. Thanks for being honest with us.

I appreciate the kind words, I know I can get long winded, but I try to be accurate and thorough! I may not be a famous creator, but I will ALWAYS be honest about my experiences and feelings about a product. Thanks for watching!

[@blondiejam924]

I'm the opposite to you I like that its thinner its easier for me maybe its because I'm a woman and have smaller hands but so far I'm loving it 😘

[@TalkinTech]

It is thinner, that's for sure! Thanks for sharing your perspective, love to hear a differing opinion than mine :)

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

What exactly do you mean by thinner? You mean narrower? from left to right when unfolded?

[@jeremybaker863]

The phone is most definitely NOT plastic bro.... I'm not trying to jump down your throat but come on.... This is supposed to be your wheelhouse, so it's your job to at least report the facts with....facts.

[@jeremybaker863]

The phone has wireless charging, so that should've been a giveaway as to the phone being glass.

[@RobertNES816]

The screen cover is actually plastic. But it has a very thin layer of glass under it. Since the screen cover can't be removed without destroying the screen itself then yes the screen is plastic and basically easily scratched and damaged.

[@jeremybaker863]

@@RobertNES816 1:50 in the video he is clearly referring to the back of the phone being plastic and that is what I was disagreeing with. I wasn't trying to imply that all the phone is glass, just the back. Also, I do understand what the front screen is composed of, just so we're clear. My apologies for not putting the time stamp into the comment.

[@RobertNES816]

@@jeremybaker863 Watch the video by JerryRigEverything. He takes the entire phone apart, but yeah sorry for not reading your comment correctly the front and back halves are glass.

[@TalkinTech]

Yeah, my bad, not my most proud moment. You should feel it though, it feels like plastic, it's weird.

[@RobertNES816]

Of course is has issues. It's new tech and they're using the market as test dummies 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TalkinTech]

That's fair...they were SO close to having this be a real winner though. I know other people like it, it just wasn't quite mature enough for me. I love that they are trying new things - I feel like things have gotten stagnant and definitely appreciate the innovation.

[@RobertNES816]

@@TalkinTech I don't know about that. $1400 for a phone with a plastic screen? One that has issues with the screen developing creases and air bubbles by the hinge? Not acceptable.

[@TalkinTech]

@@RobertNES816 Oh I agree, I just think they are making progress. The price is definitely stark, if it was like $8-900, I might have looked beyond some of the flaws.

[@RobertNES816]

@@TalkinTech Yeah, I agree.

[@kayasso]

Thank for the review i totally agree with dimensions of the screen it looks weird on the hand, but again it very easy to carry on the pocket, but again i know i'm not going to try the first releases of this kind of phones... It just needs more time and i don't want to be a tester

[@TalkinTech]

You're smart! They are getting closer, so that's encouraging.

[@SeanTheRightWay]

Nearly everything you complain about (which is practically the entire video) was well-known before you bought it.

[@TalkinTech]

I was actually really excited about the phone so I didn't want to have my judgement clouded. I think they are close, just not quite functional enough for me...especially at $1400!

[@TheHairlessChimp]

Great review. I agree this or similar form factor is definitely the future of the smartphone. As always though, it doesn't pay to be an early adopter. Keep up the great work.

[@TalkinTech]

They were SO close though, it just didn't quite hit the mark for me. Thanks for watching!
