I have the z flip, last month a bunch of outta state family members came for an event. My cousin was like, SHOW EVERYONE YOUR PHONE, cause ya'know it's so cool. So in a restaurant with 15+ people looking down to the end of the table where I was sitting, I stood up and held up my phone and then I shut it... and the entire table went crazy, like I did an amazing magic trick!! It was the funniest memorable moment of the weekend. None of those people knew they made foldable smart phones. I'm in my forties and this woman loves it! Ever since smart phones came out I've been wishing for a foldable phone... I manifested that shit lol.

These last few years where boring everbody played it save. I now have my Galaxy Z Flip for more then a year and will even wait for next years iteration. I love the phone, not the best camera, battery or screen brightness. But it's a phone with character which I treat like my infant child. Love these series, keep up the great content!

The inner selfie camera is cloudy from dust and pocket lint, but that's the only real issue I've had with it so far. Battery life isn't anything to write home about, the screen does indeed stay a little dimmer in sunlight than I'd like, but it's honestly been such a fun experience for me that I absolutely know my next phone will also be a foldable

I truly appreciate your continued coverage on foldables, and long term ones at that. I personally own a Z Flip, and it's the most fun I've with a phone in such a long time, while providing tangible benefits like incredible portability and genuine fun every time I open and close the thing. While it's really not a standout when it comes to specs, sometimes you don't really need the best specs to have a great experience, and the Z Flip made me get that. And I appreciate your coverage on durability as well. While I've no issues with mine, I've seen plenty of people who did, so it's nice to see you cover it in more detail. You're my favorite tech content creator for a reason! (And the intro bit where you showed one of your first vids really sent me back to 2016 when I first found your channel with your very first video, and smiled with joy to see you back on KZbin. It was honestly so dang amazing)

I saw a poll (US) that only 10% of smartphone users would consider spending $1,000 or more on a phone. Right now it looks like the fold will be $1,800 and the flip will be $11 or $1, 200. so we got to be at least 2 years away from mainstream acceptability. I mean the kind of phone you would buy for your senior citizen parents or something.

I actually got the Z Flip 5G back in December (thanks to this channel which I found looking through reviews of the thing and I've stuck around, love the content) and it's a shame that I have gotten slightly annoyed by the amount of compliments that I get when using it. Sometimes I just want to enjoy my lunch breaks without someone new coming up and asking me what phone I have. I still get joy from the people who's eyes light up and they point at it and asking what kind of phone it is when I'm doing anything else, though. The only thing I worry about now is the amount of users getting that wear and tear on the center of the phone. Other than that, I still love it.

I migrated to (or came back home as you just said) foldables with the Motorola razr 2019, in fact, im writing this from my razr. I must say i love this buddy! And I'm a little worried about what am i gonna do when i have to change or update my phone. I love this phone so much i have i even think about getting another one, just exactly the same! I used to have a "sony ericsson z710i" back in the days when phones were fun! Unfortunately that phone "got lost" one day...

I heard a great example once comparing Foldables to Exotic cars. Exotic Cars have amazing features, but aren't as reliable or price conscious as a Daily Driver. Those complaints stop the average car buyer stop themselves from buying strange cars, and those same complaints make average phone buyers delegate foldables as something for Tech people, just like how certain cars are just for car people.

As a previous owner of a Razr 5G , a Z Flip 5G and now using a Z Fold 3. I found this phone so useful eventhough I never want an android tablet. But I found that having a big screen just a fold away is so good. So,I love it. A bar phone is so dull and boring to me. Like in my junior high school days. I always found myself out of a slab phone and more into flip or slide phone.

5:57 - what? You can pay with GPay just fine with closed Flip. You just need to "unlock" it with power button/fingerprint reader press. It will wake up and authenticate you enough to make a payment. I did this all the time paying with GPay with closed Flip... until the screen cracked after 5 months. Now I'm using Fold2, will see how long this one will last. As for Premier Service - in EU they charge ~100Eur (depends on country) to replace. Fortunately we have some consumer laws that allows to go against the seller and not the manufacturer. Even if seller is the Samsung representative that runs official brand stores. And despite I bought mine in official Samsung brand store I was 5 weeks (!) without a phone... Just expertise by authorized service took 2 weeks, then 3 for Samsung to (not yet) ship new unit. Then I got impatient and with throwing some regulations on the table I got an offer to get my money back or use it to buy a different phone. I took advantage of Fold price drop, and hope that wasn't a mistake.

I agree one of the best parts of owning a foldable is showing it to people. I look forward to paying with my Razr closed and the cashier is like "What's that?" And then I open it and they go ":O". Never gets old.

Can someone talk to nokia to bring back old phone designs but with better performance, same of todays phones. A bit bigger screens. Today's smart phones are only exciting in commercials and after acquiring one you can feel right away the dullness and boredom even your consciousness tells you that you're holding a powerful computing machine .

In the era of phones getting boring with the slab form factor, I would love this flip foldable to be better and get mainstream, even though I've never used a flip phone myself. I'm just so done with those blocky giant phones. But when they are still expensive, questionable durability, and hard to repair, I won't be getting one so soon.

I have been using a RAZR 5G in Canada (yea, I had to special order it as it's not for sale here) for a few weeks now. After using it and optimizing how things run, I can generally get a full day (6am till 9 or 10pm) of usage using everything from navigation to Facebook etc throughout the day. I too enjoy getting the occasional person asking what kind of phone I'm using and many people are often amazed. Can definitely say the camera is pretty decent, not quite top level but more than acceptable for my regular usage. Overall I'd say it's my favorite phone that I find myself carrying more than my iPhone 12.

I ended up returning mines after a couple of days. 1- There isn't a easy way to open the phone single handed. Trying to dig your thumb into the seam while also trying not to drop it just ruins the experience. Not only that, once you get it open you have to remember to position your thumb on the fingerprint sensor. If I have to use two hands just to unlock my phone then its a step backwards and a serious deal breaker. 2- Coming from an S21, I was seriously missing my telephoto lens. 2x doesn't seem like alot but once you don't have it you start to miss having the ability to zoom in while maintaining details in the picture. 3 - The phone feels great and is well designed but the anxiety of keeping dust and lint away from the hinges would just drive me nuts. You have to really be careful when handling this compared to a regular smartphone. 4 - The screen is nice a bright. I didn't mind the crease because during normal use and viewing angles it doesn't show up. From a technological stand point its incredible and makes me feel lucky to live in a time and country where I can afford this type of technology. Unfortunately durability is ultimately more important when you think about something that is important as your smartphone (1st world problems, I know). 5- When its folded up in my pocket, it doesn't feel smaller because its now twice as thick. For a guy who only wears jeans, it wasn't a problem before but as they mention in the video, for a woman with smaller pockets, this might be an advantage.

I recently bought a used Razr 5G in perfect condition for $270, and it's been a great phone! The amount of attention it gets from my co-workers is ridiculous! Some of my co-workers even wanted to trade their phones for mine. The wow factor is there on every foldable phones, and it just brings back an era where things were much simpler and fun. I still have my very first phone, which is the original Razr. Surprisingly, the original battery still holds a good charge!

That's why I always buy used. Motorola's have bad resell value, and you can often find mint ones for cheap. Now Samsung's on the other hand, there's usually something wrong with the device if it's under $350.

Samsung Fold 2 5G user - I can't see myself going back to a regular phone after having one since September. It is just so useful for work and for personal - emails on the large screen - games just fit it as well either screen... And everything just works without worrying about compatibility. I had to replace both screen protectors (did it myself) with no issues either - just had to be a little more delicate on the interior one. No damage yet and it is treated just like a regular phone - even threw it once at a spider.... don't ask but it survived and I only have a latercase back on it.

Hi, is it safe apply a screen protector on the Razr 5G main screen? I can find it online and its not made of glass. But like a film material. Because i only heard about not to apply a protector on Samsung Flip and Fold.

So the Razr's screen is more durable? I'm really tempted to buy that someday just because of the larger screen outside. That would be convenient just to check messages without having to open the phone.

This is exactly how my son and I feel about our folds. My Fold 2 and His Flip 2. Phones are more fun than ever after years and years of well nothing. Candy bar mediocrity had settled in so much that I'd completely lost interest in new phones. Then March 2021 I walked past a shop with a Mystic Bronze Fold 2 on display... Since then the days of RAZR V3/Nokia N95/Galaxy S have come back all over again and I could not be happier. My son being too young to remember folding phones of yesteryear, the novelty and fashion presence of his Mystic Grey Flip 2 has made for much enjoyed attention from his 20 yr old peers. Another change is that with his boring candybar phones he just used them as needed and that's it, but with his flip he's nerded out like his old man and enjoyed discovering/tinkering how to get the absolute most out of his awesome tech toy. Lastly, especially for me the Fold 2 oozes such luxury in every little detail that I enjoy babying it like I would a piece of rare jewelry. Because of that I'm happy to enjoy having something that still looks as pristine as the day I bought it. My son is a little the same as being more aware of fashion than his old man he simply just looks after all his 'nice' things and enjoys the same result.
