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...- Solid all-around performance
- L-shaped mode is good for taking photos
- The utility of the folding screen doesn't justify the high price
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Mirror Purple SM-F700F review
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.- Great performance
- Decent battery life
- Solid-feeling
- smooth hinge
- 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 Black SM-F700F review
This is an ongoing Samsung Galaxy Z Flip review where I share thoughts and impressions as I use the phone as my daily driver. Here are my thoughts so far after using the Galaxy Z Flip for 5 days.- Outstanding
- futuristic design and cool look
- Compact when closed
- fits in small pockets
- Generous 256GB on-board storage
- Super expensive for what it is
- Screen can be easily scratched or permanently damaged by a fingernail
- No water resistance
- Having to flip it open for practically anything gets annoying quickly
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Mirror Black SM-F700F review
The Galaxy Z Flip was the best foldable phone, at least until the Galaxy Z Fold 2 came along. As clever as the design of the Flip is, at a still-high $1,380, it’s hard to recommend this phone over more traditional flagships like the iPhone 11 Pro and Galaxy S20 Plus.- Snapdragon 855 Plus is plenty powerful, Ultra-thin glass aids durability, Compact design when folded, Less expensive than other foldables
- Subpar battery life, Exterior smudges easily, Still pretty pricey at $1,380

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Mirror Purple SM-F700F review
Instead of unveiling a Galaxy Fold 2 alongside the Galaxy S20, Samsung has decided to take on the Motorola Razr with the Galaxy Z Flip.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Mirror Purple SM-F700F review
Foldable screen is the new buzzword in consumer tech, but OEMs are still figuring out what form factor is most suited for it.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Mirror Purple SM-F700F review
Samsung has a really good alternative to the Motorola Razr in its range with the Galaxy Z Flip. On paper, the Galaxy Z Flip can already offer much more than Motorola's icon. But this is exactly where the difference lies: if you want to get more for your money and you want a foldable smartphone, then...
