Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G Review - The "Cute" Foldable By Drew Hunter

Hello and welcome to another video as a disclaimer, this video is not sponsored. Samsung didn't pay me anything nor sent me any test models. This is my true and honest review of the Samsung Galaxy z, flip 5g. Let me start by saying that this phone is not for everyone, mainly because it's trying to fix a problem that most people don't have. Are you tired of not being able to put your phone in your pocket? The struggle is over presenting the New Zealand 5g. The z-flip is a smartphone that fits in your pocket.

This phone is interesting because, instead of folding into a bigger screen, it falls into a smaller phone. Samsung is targeting this phone to the female demographic, and it's working since every girl who sees it says- and I quote: oh it's so cute and honestly, that's all there is to say about this phone. This is not trying to beat a top of the line flagship. It's just a cute compact, foldable phone. That kind of looks like a makeup kit.

It comes with a snapdragon 865, plus 8 gigs of ram and 256 gigs of storage. The main display is 60 hertz at full HD, with a hole punch for the camera and on the rear. You have two more cameras, a standard and ultra-wide and a small screen for notifications. That snapdragon was probably overkilled. The phone runs hot.

It went over 50 degrees with just a couple of minutes of using the camera, which is insane. I live in Korea, it's like 20 degrees right now. It would make sense if I lived in some super hot country where it's like 40 degrees, but that's not the case when playing the phone is around 43 and stays around that temperature, but using the camera at 4k, 60fps really turns it into an oven. The cameras are like mid-range quality. They are decent without pixel beeping.

You won't find any problems. I only found a problem when you are recording 4k at 60fps. When you try focusing something close it does this crazy back and forth until it locks focus, but it's only in this mode. Changing to 30 fps solves the issue, and only when focusing on something close to the camera. I guess it's not a big problem, but yeah.

If you use that mode videos will look a bit Jacky, a cool thing you can do is fold the phone 90 degrees and thanks to the new hinge, it will stay in position, and you can grab it like a camcorder. You have the screen here and all the controls on the side. I feel this position gives you a much better grip when shooting videos, the hinge feels perfect, and it will stay wherever you leave it. You can just prop it up like this. To use like a tripod, I feel like the hinge is really the biggest highlight of this phone.

Wherever you are, you can just leave the phone on a table or a wall and take a photo with palm gestures. Now I want to address the crease. It feels a bit worse than the z-fold two and in the same light conditions, the z-flip crease was more noticeable. Oh, I'm going to make a review of the zfo2 so subscribe. If you don't want to miss that one, but anyway the crease is there, and you can feel it when you touch it, but when you are looking straight at the screen, you can't see it especially watching something like a video you'll, never see it.

Try to guess which one of these screens is a z-flip I'll. Give you five seconds ready. They are all the z-flip. You only see the crease looking at awkward angles. It's really not an issue at all.

I feel like only people who never touched a foldable phone, make a big deal about the cries. Even to the touch is not even a big bump in the screen anyway. You'll get used to it in no time on the outside. You have this small touch display. I love that the display is completely even with the cover you can't even notice where it starts and ends it's completely smooth.

It really makes the phone feel premium. You can swipe one way for your music controls and the other for notifications and click. Each notification to read what's going on this display also turns into a viewfinder. If you double-click the power button, you can take photos without unfolding the phone, it's cute, but it's not very helpful to actually frame the shot. This screen is more about aiming than framing but anyway, that's all you can do with the phone closed for everything else.

You need to unfold it and honestly, it gets old, fast think about how many times you check your phone during a day. Now, every time you do, you have to open, close, open, close open, close all this hassle just to end up with a screen the size of a normal phone. It doesn't feel right for me to give this phone a bad review, because I'm clearly not the target audience. I have no problem putting a normal phone on my pocket, so this is affordable with all the disadvantages of having a foldable screen and, in my opinion, none of the advantages. It's a very fragile screen that gets scratched by your fingernails, no IPS rating and a middle crease.

All of this just to turn it into a smaller phone considering. This is at the same price point as a note, 20 ultra, which is the best phone you can get right now and my daily driver review coming soon. It's hard for me to recommend this. If you can stick a phone in your pockets, but I'm not the target audience. Girls love this phone.

It's cute, like I said in the beginning, this one is not trying to beat a top of the line flagship. This phone is more like a fashion statement. It's a good phone very well-built feels premium. The screen is gorgeous. Samsung does make the best screens it's a good phone to go into your Gucci bag understand this phone is not about being a good value for the price.

It's about holding the future of smartphones in your hand today and that it delivers. My name is drawn hunter. Thank you for watching and have a great day.
