    [SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP 3 REVIEW]
    Twenty years ago, it was tough to find a mobile phone in the US that wasn’t also a flip phone. Ten years ago those flips went out of style as the smartphone skyrocketed to mainstream dominance. Nearly two years ago, Motorola blended the two categories with its RAZR reboot. And today, Samsung has brought its own version of the neo-retro clamshell phone down to a price more palatable to more people. I’m Michael Fisher, and … I think I can finally say this: the flip phone is officially back. This is the MrMobile Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 Review.

      No worries! For what it's worth, I'm not at the point where I want any flip phone. But I love what this phone means for them. A reasonable price like this makes things like "not the best" cameras and "not the best" battery life more than acceptable, because you're not paying for those things. You pay for the experience and $1000 is absolutely worth it.

      Well, the small battery is due to being a foldable. One could argue the weaker cameras are due to the extra packaging requirements too. But you’re right it’s not “the outside screen is useless” or “dirt gets in the hinge” or “where’s the fingerprint reader”.

I use an iPhone 12 Mini until tomorrow when I go to my local t-Mobile store to use my Jump plan early on a Z Flip 3 in black. I'm super excited to use it as I am a best buy employee and have messed with a few of our display models. I'm not a Samsung person but this phone might just be the one for me.

    This was a very thorough review and certainly sounded unbiased. Conspicuous by in its absence was any reference to any kind of included User's Manual. It turns out that none is included in the box--clearly a glaring omission on a phone at this price range. How is one to learn about the myriad of features if one doesn't know they exist, or worse, can't make them work? Perhaps it is an age-related phenomenon, but I learn by reading-not by random tapping and scrolling and hoping I'll find something.

      Their giving a lot of trade in offers for this generation of foldables. I was at tech store offering up to $1400 trade in for the new Fold 3. Meaning, hypothetically, you would only pay 300 for the fold 3. Similar deals are around for the flip. That price can drop to 50%-75% of the phones initial value (250-450) based on the deals.

    Despite knowing battery isn't upto standards of my use case, I still went for Z Flip 3 (coming from iPhone 12) as iPhones doesn't excite me anymore, same old improvements with apple, a bit better camera here, slightly faster chip there. I'm honesty interested in the innovation which samsung is doing and R&D to fold the freakin glass. Lets see how it goes, it'll arrive next sunday as they are out of stock everywhere as demand have far exceeded samsung's expectations (atleast here in India).
    Edit: I'll still keep my iPhone 12 as a backup phone though!

      And i still and will always use 4:3 camera,sometimes 16:9 fr videos. It gives u better aperture.
      So imo aspect ratio doesn't matter in flip.
