Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Mirror Purple SM-F700F review
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is the first folding phone to really work, but it's still a costly and potentially fragile fashion object rather than a mainstream hit.
Pros:
- Solid all-around performance
- L-shaped mode is good for taking photos.
Cons:
- The utility of the folding screen doesn't justify the high price.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Review
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is the first folding phone to really work, but it's still a costly and potentially fragile fashion object rather than a mainstream hit. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip ($1,380) is the first folding-screen smartphone that incontrovertibly works. It's still a bit clunky, a big square that says "niche luxury item" rather than "everyone's next smartphone." But that's OK. After all, expensive, uniquely designed clothing exists, and people pay for and enjoy it. Here at PCMag, we review flashy desktop PCs where you're definitely paying extra for the clear case and blue coolant fluid, but they rate highly. So given that the Galaxy Z Flip works, and it does, I'm happy to give it a salute while at the same time not recommending it for most people. We've now seen three generations of folding phones, and they're improving fast. The Galaxy Fold had some serious initial build issues. The Motorola Razr doesn't actually work very well as a smartphone. Yes, the Z Flip has a scratchable screen and costs $1,380, but at least it does everything you want it to. So if you love the design and can foot the bill, take it to Fashion Week. Every...
Pros:
- Solid all-around performance
- L-shaped mode is good for taking photos
Cons:
- The utility of the folding screen doesn't justify the high price

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Mirror Purple SM-F700F review
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip isn’t just the latest foldable phone to hit store shelves -- it’s also the least expensive, and the one we enjoy using the most. The main draw here is the design: The Z Flip feels like a perfectly normal smartphone while open and folds down to half size when closed.
Pros:
- Flip phone form factor is practical and fun
- Great all-around performance
- Solid camera quality
- It feels like a standard smartphone when open
- It’s the least expensive foldable out there
Cons:
- Inherently more fragile than other phones
- External screen is too small to be helpful
- The main glass screen is still prone to scratching
- Flex Mode is pretty limited
- Less future-proof than more traditional rivals

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Mirror Black SM-F700F review
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is the first really successful folding smartphone. And it is especially perfect for you who love to film or take pictures of yourself!
Pros:
- For the first time, the foldable form factor works and gives the user new, creative possibilities. The build quality is good, and the performance is top notch.
Cons:
- Is not dust and water repellent. The front screen could have been bigger, and the camera lacks optical zoom.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Mirror Purple SM-F700F review
The Galaxy Z Flip is your best bet at a good foldable experience should you be in the market for one. However, if you’re on the fence about these devices, you’ll be more than fine waiting to see how Samsung improves them. For those who think folding phones are a gimmick, I think you’re mistaken.

Samsung’s brand-new Galaxy Z Flip is the third folding screen phone that I’ve reviewed. It happens to also be the best folding screen phone I’ve reviewed — but don’t let that fool you.
Pros:
- Great performance
- Decent battery life
- Solid-feeling
- smooth hinge
Cons:
- Glass screen’s plastic covering picks up scratches easily
- Cameras aren’t as good as S10 or iPhone 11
- Expensive

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Mirror Purple SM-F700F review
Samsung wowed everyone last year when it introduced the Galaxy Fold. Sure, it took a few months to figure out the kinks after the first batch of units saw some fatal manufacturing defects.
Pros:
- Well-executed folding display with articulating hinge and improved protection from dust
- Wireless charging and powershare
- Gorgeous finish and design has us feeling the nostalgia
- Galaxy Concierge Premier customer care
- Flagship level camera experience
