Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4
The first day

I received my Flip 4 today, and from the very beginning I've been impressed. The unboxing experience was incredibly clean, and it helped make the device feel premium. You are just give the phone and a charging cable in the box, so be ready for that.
Booting up the phone for the first time was great, and the screen feels incredibly tall, especially when compared to my old phone. Set up was a breeze until I need to transfer from my old phone. It took a few attempts to get it to connect via the cable, and even then it kept telling me that it would take up too much space on the Flip 4, even though my old phone was only 64GB. I was at least able to download my contacts using the cloud transfer option, and it did send through my applications list.
After setting up, I was finally able to start playing around. The phone is nice and smooth to use, and with the extra tall screen, it makes apps like Twitter and Instagram feel better to use with the increased content on the screen. The camera is easy to use and the photos are pretty good, but I haven't had a chance to take anything of worth at this point, but I'll be sure to put it through it's paces.
That first fold is nerve racking. It feels so unnatural at first to be folding your mobile phone in half. But this quickly goes away with each fold and now it feels natural.
The front screen is cool and displays useful information, but it couldn't read any messages that came through, so its utility isn't as versatile as I thought going in. It might just be that I need to set something up.
Overall, my immediate impressions are the phone feels great to use, nice and compact when folded. I'm looking forward to getting fully stuck in and using the phone properly over the coming weeks.
The Z Flip 5 is quite simply a marvelous device. From it's stylish new colours (I opted for the exclusive yellow) to it's new cover screen, it stands out as an amazing upgrade from previous generations. And talking about that cover screen, it is amazing how much versatility the extra screen real estate brings to the device. Being able to reply to messages from the cover screen, with no need to flip the phone open, really helps speed interactions up during a busy work day. It also does wonders for the batter life as you no longer have to power that inner screen for the small interactions. And using the cover screen for selfies is sublime.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a flip phone.
