Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Review
Despite the fact that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is quite expensive, it’s sold out throughout the world. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is about the same price as the Galaxy S20 Ultra in most regions. But it’s more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy S20 and the S20 Plus. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip benefits from the new Moto Razr having come out in the same month. Despite offering tons of nostalgia, Motorola’s foldable flip phone seems disappointing. Samsung beats it in every category with better specs, especially a better battery capacity.
Also, the small 1.1-inch cover display on the front does not give a lot of room but when it comes to quick information and notifications like the time and battery percentage, it packs in the basic essential.
On the unfolded screen, inside you will find the Flex UI which allows multitasking with two apps and in some cases, it enables the controls of one app to be laid out across the Full HD+ Screen. The camera quality and the chipset are also great but not the best, unlike the S20 series which packs more better camera sensors and robust internals.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip can also be bent over frontwards and Samsung says also that the Galaxy Z Flip is the full screen that fits in your pocket and that’s absolutely true!. You could mistake the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip for a typical Android phone if you don’t pay attention to the faint crease across the middle of the screen and the collapse that hinge down.
