The Galaxy Z Flip is a new kind of foldable phone from Samsung. But is a clamshell-style foldable worth your money?...

Fun; gadget-like feel Great build quality Good cameras Foldable

So-so battery life Slow charging

Samsung’s second stab at making a foldable smartphone has a killer form-factor that sets it apart from almost everything else out there. Unfortunately, by most metrics, it also lags behind everything else you could possibly buy for the premium price-tag. It’s also missing a lot of the things you’d usually take for granted in a smartphone that costs this much.

When spending less money gets you a better display, longer battery life, sharper optics, 5G connectivity and less worries, being able to fold a 6.7-inch screen in on itself doesn’t seem nearly so tempting.

Ultraportable; Clean software;

Lacks flagship features & camera; Durability concerns; Too expensive;

It looks like a compact powder case that women would use. A man wouldn’t be caught holding a phone like the Galaxy Z Flip.

Flippin' great

Spectacular design; Cool folded size; Impressive display

Flip, flip, hooray! With the Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung is launching its second foldable smartphone, which features a folding concept similar to that of the Razr. The price is also similarly high, but the Samsung mobile phone promises a stronger configuration based on its data sheet. In this review you'll find out if the Galaxy Z Flip also convinces in everyday life or if it's just an expensive fashion gag.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is particularly convincing with its folding concept, which is much easier to handle in everyday life than other smartphones with such a large display. Besides, it's simply a joy to fold the smartphone with one hand.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is a phone to flaunt. So, yes, that is one reason to buy this phone: to show that you can afford a phone that cos...

At Php 79,990, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is a wildly impractical phone for most people. What you’re paying for in this device is the ability to make your phone smaller, which is a pretty big flex at this point in time considering what’s available in the market.

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

It’s been a little over a year since foldable display smartphones have become a real thing. Samsung hit a few snags with the launch of the Fold and Huawei took a few extra months to make sure the Mate X could withstand the rigors of day-to-day use.

Incredible performance, Great durability, Coolest phone money can buy

Software still needs improving, Definitely not affordable, Average cameras
