This phone SUX. God i fuking hate using it, im on my 3rd one in 4 months, it crashes, cracks, and lags all over the place, im switching back to iphone ASAP
@@shaggytewsak Sorry to hear that. I'm so over massive phones that I settled for s10e. This little is crazy durable. But now I'm looking to upgrade but just as big or the ones that flip so it's small enough to fit in my purse. Not sure if I'll ever hop on the iPhone trend tho lol
I appreciate you pointing out what normal people would care about. Often bigger reviewers tend to fixate on things are not really a big deal for the average user. Subbed:)!
I literally just took the screen protector off of my Z Flip 3 today, after having the phone for 7 months. It's been raised in the middle around the fold for around a month now. It got to the point where I couldn't use the screen around the folder properly anymore, and it was just too annoying to look at when using my phone. I was having a brief chat with another UA-camr today and she advised that if the screen protector lifts off anywhere from the screen and you get dirt or anything underneath it, it could cause damage to your screen. Awaiting for a new screen protector ordered from Amazon 🙂 I must say though, I was prepared to have some issues here and there with this phone. It was a risk I was willing to take. Other than the screen protector issue, I love this phone and can't see myself going back to a typical smartphone.
@@mgomez5606 your message reminded me that I needed to do it haha. I've been so lazy and haven't felt a strong need to put the protector on like I usually do a standard smartphone. Anyways, I've just put the screen protectors on (inside and the small outside screen) a few hours ago. They both went on well and I left my phone alone for a few hours to dry out, etc. It's looking pretty good at the moment, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see how long it lasts for.
This review felt a lot more down to earth than the big tech reviewers, and felt like it covered more of the real pros and cons for the average person. I managed to get a fold 3 for £180 as a referb which should be arriving tomorrow, so I hope my purchase was worth the price
It’s crazy because I remember my first phone in the early 2000’s, and it was a flip phone! It’s crazy how we couldn’t stand it back then, but now it’s popular again. It looks really nice though! Great video!
Yes, but the flip phones of the early 2000 were completely different, the top and bottom halves were physically separated, but these new flip/fold smart phones are actually bending the screen material which is just crazy. It will crease then break like all the ones you see on Ebay, it's a really bad design. . A better solution would be to separate the screen into two physical halves, and flip/fold them on a mechanical hinge for an edge-less experience. I rather see a thin line in the middle, than an ugly crease then a crack.
I switched from a s9 to this phone and I feel the same way and yes lol ppl are always taking it to fold it and I do love folding it when I watch stuff so I don't have to hold it it just stands by itself.
Thank you so much for this! It gave me enough information without sounding like you were trying to sell me the phone or convince me that it's garbage, which is what I see in many other reviews :)
Always used flip phones and liked them. Bought this one and very pleased with it. I don't have my nose buried all day long with my phone like a lot of people do, and only use about 20 to 30 percent of the battery life each day. Recharging the battery is fast! As far as the use you couldn't ask for better. Opening the phone with two hands is no big deal and it only takes an extra second. Happy with this phone.
@@xabdulrehmanx I have had mine for several months now, and it is working great. When the phone is open and if you hold it a certain way, you can see a crease in the center, but no black line and the color on the screen looks fine.
Remember flipping open the Motorola StarTac and Razr with one hand? hehe Those were the days. :) The problem with all these new flip/fold smart phones is that they are bending the plastic screen which will crease and eventually break like all the ones you see on Ebay, it's a really bad design. . A better solution would be to separate the screen into two physical halves, and flip/fold them on a mechanical hinge for an edge-less experience. I rather see a thin line in the middle, than an ugly crease then a crack. imo
I like the Flip 3, my S21 Ultra still going strong only had it 1 year. The only thing i dont like on Flip 3 is built in screen protector, I've already replaced 2 on my S21 ultra because scratches and small bubbles show after awhile. I might wait for a Flip 4 and see how they improve it.
This review was insanely good! Thank you for sharing your experience 😁 I’m thinking of upgrading to this phone from my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Battery on my current phone doesn’t last as long as it used to and would like to try something different. Would this be more of an upgrade or downgrade?
If you're looking for something different, this is definitely the way to go. It's probably one of my favorite phones I've owned. If you've been using iPhone for awhile it will take some getting used to no doubt so keep that in mind if you do decide to get this. I would give yourself time to adjust to android in general before jumping to any conclusions on it. I would also watch do's and don't video related to the Z Flip 3 because a lot of what I see ppl complain about this phone is the hinge or the crease breaking in some way. I've had it almost a year now and ZERO problem with the folding so I suspect a lot ppl are just being way too rough with the phone. It's not your regular smartphone. As for upgrade or downgrade, that would be totally up to you. I consider it an upgrade because I've never had a folding smartphone before so it's new and fresh. The camera is good, the folding has some practicality to it, no major problems with the software or folding yet etc. I would recommend watching my Before You Buy video I made about the Z Flip 3 also. I go a little deeper in terms of what I like and dislike. I appreciate your comment!
My z flip 3 been with me since my birthday (since was almost 6 months ago). I love this phone. The battery doesn't bother me at all. I'm one handed (my right hand doesn't function well) . I have no issue with this phone. Once you get used to being one handed, you can think of ways to open and close it. It's just useful for me to have it closed and be small. I hope this phone won't be an issue in the future
It might offer a few thousand folds but I promise you it will not survive the first drop. I've been watching all these videos and some only had them a few days before dropping and breaking hinge. My son had his 2 weeks and now I'm looking to get it repaired or file a claim. If you are a phone dropper DO NOT GET THIS PHONE.
Im just so sick and tired of fricking bricks, really miss old tiny phones :C Btw my god THANK YOU for not opening it like a monster like most people do
right?? A common complaint I get about this phone is that it breaks easily. Some people have commented and said they're on their 2nd or 3rd replacement phone. Like how are you treating this phone??
I have the same one as this one in the video and it's insane! A folding smart 📱 just crazy and like you said the crease in the middle isn't any kind of annoying at all. I suggest getting this phone if only for the experience.
How does the hinge hold up after 2000 flips? surely, you passed that in 6 months. I'm thinking about getting a renewed one for about 530$ but this stat is concerning and am debating getting the flip 4
Not 2000 but 200k flips, so don't worry, if you are concerned about the battery and camera, maybe you should wait for the Flip 4, I heard that there might be some improvements.
Ahhhhh! I had no idea there was no aux port! I still use my auxiliary port and wires all the time. You should do a review on your nice leather case you have on there. Are you going to put a pop socket on the phone? Does pop socket work with the zflip? Thanks!
Same here! I still use it all the time. It's a basic faux lather case haha. But yes I currently have a removable pop socket on it now. I'll be making a short on it soon!
I don't notice the crease at all. I live my phone. Had always used a flip phone for years from the early 90's through 2013. Lol lol 😆 but this one I love and it will fit into any small purse I have vs ones that do not fold. Can't wait til the flip 4 comes out. I will be buying that one as well!!
@Max TheCat I don't know mine fold 3 and gf flip 3 first day purchases. Going strong we did get the screen protector replaced by a samsung repair shop first protector replacement is free. And phone look new again. Never any issues with it but then we don't throw them on the ground or abusing the shit out of them not using a case at all. To bulky on everyphone. So yeah.
Sold..Will wait for cost to drop or go contract. Love the case. I need portable phone that does what mine does and wireless charge. Debating the fold or flip. I read alot
So hey I have a question. I bought this phone yesterday over my iPhone 12 and I am enjoying it like hell. I am just concerned how should I protect it? I really do not want to add a cover on the phone bcz it would ruin the experience. Can you suggest something? Like should I add a tempered glass, or a skin or anything? Thanks
Stupid question, can you watch tiktok/full screen videos? Also does the camera zoom in? I'm thinking about getting this phone but can't find the right review for me.
I had previously the flip 2 (Flip 5G) with the smaller cover screen and things and it last me about 3 years until catastrophically failed, the screen went black and that was it, but u know? I never take a good care of it and I dropped it opend, closed and stuff like a regular phone, most of the time directly on the hinge and last me for almost 3 years, used daily like a normal phone, it was dropped at least 2 times in water, spilled beer and energy drink on it (by mistake) and then washed in water to not get sticky and I am literally surprised by that, except some scratches on the hinge basically nothing outside, intact glass, completely functional except the screen that faild cuz' at the last drop the hinge was finally a bit damaged, and 3 or 4 months later the "glass" on the screen started cracking and about 2 weeks ago it started going black in the middle and then went completely black. I am impressed, I am that impressed so I got the flip 3. And this time I will take care of it:)) I got the flip 2 out of curiosity (To see how strong is it wearing it like a normal phone, with no special care, and because I liked the ideea) And got the flip 3 cuz' I was impressed and now I love it:))
loved the way you ignored crease issue by best pros of phone that is it is foldable!!!! oops flipable ;) do make on flip 4 please and if possible these two flips.
My wife wants to watch Disney + which she has on her Z flip 3 phone on my 82" Q8F Samsung TV. How do I connect them? Is there a cable to connect to HDMI jack on the TV? Or how do I do it with WiFi or Bluetooth? Any help appreciated.
If you have a Chromcast you should be able to cast Disney+ to your TV. I'm not familiar with tvs but some come with chromcast installed. Otherwise you'll have to buy a chromcast and plug it into your TV.
hey, freeley. i want to ask about the pre applied screen protector. does it good? does that really protect the screen? because on my samsung z flip 4 i still had my screen protector but day by day there kinda a little scratch seen, or that is just normal? been using my flip 4 for 2 week
First time seeing a very humble man that held onto an old phone. Quick tip, do not keep the old phone's batter drained for a long time. Keep it charged at 50% if you can.
Yes, as Amber Smith mentioned you can slide down on the front screen to get to the volume widget and also control the front screen brightness. The volume widget only allows you to adjust it to either vibrate or silence
Goodness.. People still use 3.5mm jack for mobile audio? LOL. Just go get Fiio BTR5 man.. It gives u outmost fidelity and studio grade audio while being bluetooth
Love your review!! Regarding the video, does it lag in some cases? Thats one problem of android phones for me. Like Ive seen famous people with android phones that post IG stories and some of their videos are lagging; not sure if its the connection.
I think every phone lags at some point lol but in the case of IG stories lagging for android users I've read that it's bcos the instagram app isn't optimized for android phones. It works great on iphone because there's only one IOS but for android there's samsung, google, oneplus, motorola with each one being different so instagram has to cater to each one. Needless to say, if you're planning on getting one, the flip 3 is great and from what I've seen from the flip 4, that one looks like it's gonna be great too. Thanks for your comment!
@@freeleymedia it's a diff kind of pag tho, I cant explain it. Haha but Ive heard about ios having better soc med. And u explained it better. Thank you!! Do you think Z Flip 4 is on par or better than the latest iPhone? Except for the camera.
DONT BUY THE FLIP/FOLD phones from Samsung. They will do all they can to reject a warranty repair. I waited for the 2nd generation of the Z Flip 3 phone after seeing how poorly the 1st generation flip phone performed. As soon as the zip flipped 3 arrived I purchased one only to find out 4 months down the line the screen started lifting from the fold, 5 months down-the-line I noticed what appeared to be hairline cracks on either edge of the hinge. I initially thought was a fault with the screen protector therefore I carefully remove the screen protector with the aim of getting it replaced by ee or at a samsung store only to find that the actual screen had the hairline fractures at the corner of each hinge along the fold! Month 6 and I can now see little cracks all along the fold! Due to this major fault with the screen happening only 5 months into my purchase I decided to have the phone sent back to EE for a warranty repair. I keep all my Tech Gear in top condition and look after everything I own with a high degree of care. The phone I sent to EE was in immaculate condition with not a dent or mark on the device. A few days later I received the paperwork advising that my phone was user damaged and that there will be a charge of 360 pounds to replace the screen! I argued the case with EE and took it as high as I could but they advised that the phone is not covered under warranty because it is user damaged? I asked on what grounds was the phone rejected and deemed user damaged when it is in immaculate condition bar the the screen cracking at the fold? They would not respond stating that their technicians make this diagnosis which EE have no control over. Ee offered £50 which I rejected, and i asked to take this further. I was advised that I will need to reach out to the Ombudsman and also Samsung directly. I called Samsung Who advised that I would need to take my phone in to Samsung repair centre at Newcastle-upon-Tyne where they will inspect and have this repaired on the day. After calling the Samsung centre at this location and informing them of what has happened so far the agent advised me to bring the phone in, which was a good 1 and a 1/2 hour journey. After I got on site they looked at the phone assessed it and advised the phone is in great condition but because the screen protector has been removed the warranty is void and that there will be a charge of 270 pounds to repair the phone. At this stage I was fuming due to poor advice from the Samsung centre wasting my time travelling in with a child to turn down the repair. I asked why they didn't ask if the protector was removed over the phone, to which the assessor just smiled! At this stage was quite angry and advised that this is an unacceptable level of service and very unprofessional, but got no response from the woman and was only given a number to call Samsung directly. I called Samsung a technician took the case reference number and also half an hour of my time to listen to the problems I have faced to date only to advise me again that there's nothing they can do as the warranty was voided due to the screen protector being removed. Again I argued the case that the screen is fatally flawed, and that I actually use the phone at most 10 times a-day which is a far cry from the claims of the phone enduring a 100 flips A-day! They were straight down the line with voided warranty and wished me a wonderful day! My home is reliant totally on the Samsung ecosystem with the exception of this device which has been a major letdown. I have always purchased high end Samsung technology looking at forums I can see that it's not just an isolated case, these phone screens are failing for many people. I can imagine a recall for the flawed device being very costly for Samsung therefore the excuse of the screen protector being removed voiding the warranty is a successful cop out! Buy this phone at ur own risk, I have wasted too much of my time and energy in trying to getting this phone rightfully repaired at no cost to me and failing. I will be reaching out to the Ombudsman who will independently assess the issue.... let's see if this works?
Did you ever get the phone fixed i very want the flip 3 it’s a beautiful phone but I keep hearing stories like yours some people have no issues yet with the flip 3. But due to the bad warranty I heard about I’m keeping my Oneplus 9 As my everyday phone 10 months in and has no issues and is still strong and reliable. If I get a flip 3 I’d use it as my backup phone or a weekend phone just not use it as my daily phone cause I can’t risk a phone like this breaking down on me when I need it most especially in todays world you got to have a functioning phone in working shape
I was actually into this phone and about to buy it but the I do expect a better battery for this price plus the adapter thingy its really a no go - but thanks for this honest review!
Terrible phone... I regret buying it... it hasn't been 9 months yet but it's already acting up: screen goes black when I open it fully and sometimes it just goes off! It hasn't fallen or suffered any damage to warrant such malfunction... thumbs down this time coz I really like samsung phones...
Hi great review, Im an elder man and like the bigger screen but seem to be dropping the phone more now and dont really use the phone that much, so this would be better for me so will get a used Flip 3 to see if it suits me. 👍
Good video. I had to laugh though, you spoke about this 'phone' for almost 14 minutes and never said anything about actually talking to someone on it - like a real phone call - no videos or vlogs, or movies or texts. Grin - being 72 years old and come from a time when all we did was talk on the phone the fact that everyone basically has a super computer in their hands they call a phone on which no one ever actually seems to have an actual voice conversation. :) Please know that I only mention it because of the humor I see in it. Your video was EXCELLENT!
its so life changing when u come from a big screen phone.. suddenly your phone become so handy it can fits almost everything from pocket to small bag so so minimalist with the samsung top end features on it
Can this phone actually run 2 apps at once with split screen (for eg an auto battle game, while you're maybe scrolling through stuff in facebook on the other screen)? Cause the old split screen (without the fold) would freeze one app if you press on another app.
You're pretty much buying the flip/fold for the novelty of it. But if you care for cameras and willing to spend money, I'd recommend go with the s22ultra.
small battery + 15w charging speed = great combo samsung. this phone has very short honeymoon period for most people, they'll get annoyed i had sell mine after 2 months
Wow, it's sad future when plugging in a charger or using 2 hands for your phone is an issue. Imagine what you would do if you couldn't afford a $1000 phone.
Since so many ppl have been asking about my phone case, I couldn't find the exact one but here's a link to a very similar one: amzn.to/3EvXc6N

The case you have I believe is the Foluu PU leather case

Sold..Will wait for cost to drop or go contract. Love the case. I need portable phone that does what mine does and wireless charge. Debating the fold or flip. I read alot
So hey I have a question. I bought this phone yesterday over my iPhone 12 and I am enjoying it like hell. I am just concerned how should I protect it? I really do not want to add a cover on the phone bcz it would ruin the experience. Can you suggest something? Like should I add a tempered glass, or a skin or anything?
Thanks
Yes, definitely get a screen protector. That'll help the most.
@@freeleymedia but the phone comes with a pre-installed screen protector right?
yes, but it's somewhat lackluster and I've already scratched it up
Stupid question, can you watch tiktok/full screen videos? Also does the camera zoom in? I'm thinking about getting this phone but can't find the right review for me.
Yes you can watch full screen videos and what do you mean by camera zoom in?
I had previously the flip 2 (Flip 5G) with the smaller cover screen and things and it last me about 3 years until catastrophically failed, the screen went black and that was it, but u know? I never take a good care of it and I dropped it opend, closed and stuff like a regular phone, most of the time directly on the hinge and last me for almost 3 years, used daily like a normal phone, it was dropped at least 2 times in water, spilled beer and energy drink on it (by mistake) and then washed in water to not get sticky and I am literally surprised by that, except some scratches on the hinge basically nothing outside, intact glass, completely functional except the screen that faild cuz' at the last drop the hinge was finally a bit damaged, and 3 or 4 months later the "glass" on the screen started cracking and about 2 weeks ago it started going black in the middle and then went completely black. I am impressed, I am that impressed so I got the flip 3.
And this time I will take care of it:))
I got the flip 2 out of curiosity
(To see how strong is it wearing it like a normal phone, with no special care, and because I liked the ideea)
And got the flip 3 cuz' I was impressed and now I love it:))
Great Review bro, keep them up!
i appreciate it!
loved the way you ignored crease issue by best pros of phone that is it is foldable!!!! oops flipable ;) do make on flip 4 please and if possible these two flips.
great vid !!
good luck to you and your channel :)
sub'd !
I appreciate it!!
@@freeleymedia my pleasure, hon hon hon !
stay safe :)
p.s. will you make one for the flip4 ?
If youbare playing a UA-cam video and close the phone does it lock the phone and the video stops or does it keep playing?
You need premium for videos to stay on when you lock your phone, no matter what phone you have.
@@bunnyoppress get youtube vanced
My wife wants to watch Disney + which she has on her Z flip 3 phone on my 82" Q8F Samsung TV. How do I connect them? Is there a cable to connect to HDMI jack on the TV? Or how do I do it with WiFi or Bluetooth? Any help appreciated.
If you have a Chromcast you should be able to cast Disney+ to your TV. I'm not familiar with tvs but some come with chromcast installed. Otherwise you'll have to buy a chromcast and plug it into your TV.
Thumb down for the thumb nail being "click baity." But thanks for the review.
Lol thanks!
This doesn't look like an impartial review at all.
U can just buy an adapter for headphone jack so really is not a big of a deal
true, and I did. But I still find it annoying having to use it
Great review🙂
Glad you liked it
The best tips for z flip 3 = open the phone if not in the pocket .
why's that?
@@freeleymedia I think it's to reduce folding the phone more to make the crease less visible after months and years of use
NOICE video mate.. Your review is great and even you are asian the english is good too.. Man i loving it u just got sub..😊
I appreciate the support. Have a good one!
hey, freeley. i want to ask about the pre applied screen protector. does it good? does that really protect the screen? because on my samsung z flip 4 i still had my screen protector but day by day there kinda a little scratch seen, or that is just normal? been using my flip 4 for 2 week
I recommend getting an additional one. The one pre-installed is good but scratches easier than other screen protectors
Only thing I'm concerned is, battery and scratching the display
battery is a bummer even after almost 2 years for me. Scratching the display is not that big of a deal as long as you have a good screen protector
First time seeing a very humble man that held onto an old phone.
Quick tip, do not keep the old phone's batter drained for a long time. Keep it charged at 50% if you can.
Thanks for the tips!
You seem to be such a nice guy
U can replace the screen protector .
It basically have 3 screennn😭😭😭💜💜💜 i want
Do it!
You are good, you will make it.
i appreciate the support
Everything was absolutely fine until I saw... No headphone jack 😔
Yeah its unfortunate. You can remedy it by buying an adapter but that's a clunky solution
The crease would bother me a lil 💀 kinda wanna buy the phone for the hell of it tho
I would totally go for the flip 4!
Can I know where u get ur leather casing? Its nice
I couldn't find the exact one but here's one thats very similar: amzn.to/3EvXc6N
Thanks ya
Informative- oh one question can you add the volume widget to front screen? Thanks.
You slide down on the front screen to get the volume widget.
Yes, as Amber Smith mentioned you can slide down on the front screen to get to the volume widget and also control the front screen brightness. The volume widget only allows you to adjust it to either vibrate or silence
Thank you
Bro,why my m50 camera become blur itself when I on camera... please help
Do you have Instagram? Send me a pic of what your experiencing there @freeley.explore
Sorry bro.,I don't use Instragram
Do you have email? You can send a pic to my email: freeleygive@gmail.com
Okay
Is the problem solved?
Goodness.. People still use 3.5mm jack for mobile audio? LOL. Just go get Fiio BTR5 man.. It gives u outmost fidelity and studio grade audio while being bluetooth
Love your review!! Regarding the video, does it lag in some cases? Thats one problem of android phones for me. Like Ive seen famous people with android phones that post IG stories and some of their videos are lagging; not sure if its the connection.
I think every phone lags at some point lol but in the case of IG stories lagging for android users I've read that it's bcos the instagram app isn't optimized for android phones. It works great on iphone because there's only one IOS but for android there's samsung, google, oneplus, motorola with each one being different so instagram has to cater to each one. Needless to say, if you're planning on getting one, the flip 3 is great and from what I've seen from the flip 4, that one looks like it's gonna be great too. Thanks for your comment!
@@freeleymedia it's a diff kind of pag tho, I cant explain it. Haha but Ive heard about ios having better soc med. And u explained it better. Thank you!! Do you think Z Flip 4 is on par or better than the latest iPhone? Except for the camera.
DONT BUY THE FLIP/FOLD phones from Samsung. They will do all they can to reject a warranty repair.
I waited for the 2nd generation of the Z Flip 3 phone after seeing how poorly the 1st generation flip phone performed. As soon as the zip flipped 3 arrived I purchased one only to find out 4 months down the line the screen started lifting from the fold, 5 months down-the-line I noticed what appeared to be hairline cracks on either edge of the hinge. I initially thought was a fault with the screen protector therefore I carefully remove the screen protector with the aim of getting it replaced by ee or at a samsung store only to find that the actual screen had the hairline fractures at the corner of each hinge along the fold! Month 6 and I can now see little cracks all along the fold! Due to this major fault with the screen happening only 5 months into my purchase I decided to have the phone sent back to EE for a warranty repair.
I keep all my Tech Gear in top condition and look after everything I own with a high degree of care. The phone I sent to EE was in immaculate condition with not a dent or mark on the device. A few days later I received the paperwork advising that my phone was user damaged and that there will be a charge of 360 pounds to replace the screen! I argued the case with EE and took it as high as I could but they advised that the phone is not covered under warranty because it is user damaged? I asked on what grounds was the phone rejected and deemed user damaged when it is in immaculate condition bar the the screen cracking at the fold? They would not respond stating that their technicians make this diagnosis which EE have no control over. Ee offered £50 which I rejected, and i asked to take this further.
I was advised that I will need to reach out to the Ombudsman and also Samsung directly. I called Samsung Who advised that I would need to take my phone in to Samsung repair centre at Newcastle-upon-Tyne where they will inspect and have this repaired on the day.
After calling the Samsung centre at this location and informing them of what has happened so far the agent advised me to bring the phone in, which was a good 1 and a 1/2 hour journey. After I got on site they looked at the phone assessed it and advised the phone is in great condition but because the screen protector has been removed the warranty is void and that there will be a charge of 270 pounds to repair the phone. At this stage I was fuming due to poor advice from the Samsung centre wasting my time travelling in with a child to turn down the repair. I asked why they didn't ask if the protector was removed over the phone, to which the assessor just smiled! At this stage was quite angry and advised that this is an unacceptable level of service and very unprofessional, but got no response from the woman and was only given a number to call Samsung directly.
I called Samsung a technician took the case reference number and also half an hour of my time to listen to the problems I have faced to date only to advise me again that there's nothing they can do as the warranty was voided due to the screen protector being removed.
Again I argued the case that the screen is fatally flawed, and that I actually use the phone at most 10 times a-day which is a far cry from the claims of the phone enduring a 100 flips A-day! They were straight down the line with voided warranty and wished me a wonderful day!
My home is reliant totally on the Samsung ecosystem with the exception of this device which has been a major letdown. I have always purchased high end Samsung technology looking at forums I can see that it's not just an isolated case, these phone screens are failing for many people. I can imagine a recall for the flawed device being very costly for Samsung therefore the excuse of the screen protector being removed voiding the warranty is a successful cop out! Buy this phone at ur own risk, I have wasted too much of my time and energy in trying to getting this phone rightfully repaired at no cost to me and failing. I will be reaching out to the Ombudsman who will independently assess the issue.... let's see if this works?
Did you ever get the phone fixed i very want the flip 3 it’s a beautiful phone but I keep hearing stories like yours some people have no issues yet with the flip 3. But due to the bad warranty I heard about I’m keeping my Oneplus 9 As my everyday phone 10 months in and has no issues and is still strong and reliable. If I get a flip 3 I’d use it as my backup phone or a weekend phone just not use it as my daily phone cause I can’t risk a phone like this breaking down on me when I need it most especially in todays world you got to have a functioning phone in working shape
I was actually into this phone and about to buy it but the I do expect a better battery for this price plus the adapter thingy its really a no go - but thanks for this honest review!
Terrible phone... I regret buying it... it hasn't been 9 months yet but it's already acting up: screen goes black when I open it fully and sometimes it just goes off! It hasn't fallen or suffered any damage to warrant such malfunction... thumbs down this time coz I really like samsung phones...
when i read the thumbnail i thought you broke it ngl.
i was afraid of... how good it would end up being
Hi great review, Im an elder man and like the bigger screen but seem to be dropping the phone more now and dont really use the phone that much, so this would be better for me so will get a used Flip 3 to see if it suits me. 👍
Good video. I had to laugh though, you spoke about this 'phone' for almost 14 minutes and never said anything about actually talking to someone on it - like a real phone call - no videos or vlogs, or movies or texts. Grin - being 72 years old and come from a time when all we did was talk on the phone the fact that everyone basically has a super computer in their hands they call a phone on which no one ever actually seems to have an actual voice conversation. :) Please know that I only mention it because of the humor I see in it. Your video was EXCELLENT!
My display sensor stopped working after Just few months of usage and it was not even covered under warranty… very bad CS experience
This is a great phone for me because it prevents me from being glued on my phone's screen for most of the time.
How to fix that if he detect for moisture detect
I would try to dry out the phone as much as possible
its so life changing when u come from a big screen phone.. suddenly your phone become so handy it can fits almost everything from pocket to small bag so so minimalist with the samsung top end features on it
It is rated at 200,000 folds.
yes sirr
He's really cute, and has good info that's like a 2-for-1 deal LOL
I currently am watching this on a s9 and im getting the z flip 3 soon
Is it still good to buy this new at 45k in offer or anything else?
i remember when we used to watch folding watches like a braclet videos😂
What would you choose, z flip 3 8/128 for 700€ or Huawei P50 pocket 8/256 for 900€?
mine just cracked on the fold after 1 day over warranty
Case link please
Probably dbrand skin
My phone case: amzn.to/3avrpb0
not dbrand but I have it linked here: amzn.to/3avrpb0 the dbrand skins are sick tho!
I honestly fell in love
sameeee
Can the Flip 3 take an SD card ( extra memory)
Great review!! 👌🏾👍🏾🇬🇧
Thank you 🙌
@@freeleymedia 🙌🏽🇬🇧
It will break, guaranteed. I wish someone would do a class action lawsuit against Samsung for their defective design.
I really like this review💕👍🏻
I appreciate it!
Can this phone actually run 2 apps at once with split screen (for eg an auto battle game, while you're maybe scrolling through stuff in facebook on the other screen)? Cause the old split screen (without the fold) would freeze one app if you press on another app.
U can use it. .i try it right now, opening an auto battle game n u tube with split screen 😁
Nice!
Thanks!
I posted a message on how to get YT to play in the background when the phone is closed, but my comment was removed twice and I was sent a warning.
Hello, Does this phone have a sim card slot?
Mannnnn, I gotta get one
Love it❤
How do you clean the prints off the screen?
microfiber cloth is usually what I use
u r very good!!!
You're pretty much buying the flip/fold for the novelty of it. But if you care for cameras and willing to spend money, I'd recommend go with the s22ultra.
Yeah pretty much. The s22 line's cameras are insanely good
ahhh thanks for this good review! i enjoyed watching this informative video!
is it good for gaming? is it laggy or is it somehow bearable?
I've made a video on the GBA emulator for this and so far it runs pretty well!
Best Galaxy I have ever own. "LOVE IT" Samsung is the #1 in the world. And Thank You!
🙌🙌
small battery + 15w charging speed = great combo samsung.
this phone has very short honeymoon period for most people, they'll get annoyed
i had sell mine after 2 months
why'd you end up selling and what did you get instead?
am i the only one who noticed that the background music is the instrumental version of trivia love by bts 😭 ah my army heart💜
Omfgggg you were an S9 user as well that was my phone before getting the z flip 3 haha
yup! I rarely upgrade my phone. before the S9 was the S4
Wow, it's sad future when plugging in a charger or using 2 hands for your phone is an issue. Imagine what you would do if you couldn't afford a $1000 phone.
Worse phone I've ever had, it's with Samsung coz the fold on the screen cracked rigjt across
couple thousand folds :O thats nothing lol..
Hi. What if I dont want to close the phone yet but I wanna save some batt, can I lock the screen with the power button without closing/folding it?
Yes! The power button/fingerprint scanner locks the screen
I keep mine unfolded until I go somewhere.
@@mgomez5606 is it ok to not folded for long time?and do you recommend buying this phone?(cuz i really love this phone)
@@bashm649 I leave it unfolded when I'm home. Don't snap it open like you see people on videos do it. I like it.
For an average user..do you think the battery life is ok?
