Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4
Better than I expected

The screen is remarkable. Its such a strange thing to experience the flip phone. I was initially sceptical about this phone due to hearing negative issues from friends regarding the centre fold of the phone. I had heard that it would crack instantly, it wouldn't work at the fold and wouldn't respond to my touch and that the screen would go white over time. Now with testing, I know that at least 2 out of 3 are false. The fold does respond to touch, and it hasn't cracked. I can't test the whiteness yet.
I really enjoy the bigger screen and the picture quality is great to watch shows. The fold doesn't compromise the image and it essentially disappeared.
The camera is better quality than my older phone. They have managed to reduce glare through light sources as default and this can be further reduced by playing with the settings. There is a slight delay when the light is low which could affect the final outcome to the image. The final images are incredible however. One feature I've enjoyed is the ability to zoom in on videos! I couldn't do that before. It does lower the quality of the image but since you can only do it while viewing the video, it isn't that big of a deal.
I quite like the range of designs available. Not only is there more colours to pick from as standard, but you can also choose from a 3 colour pallete. They have set colour palletes to choose from, I believe there was around 5 to pick from or you can choose your own colours for a more personalised look. I enjoy being able to choose more colours as I enjoy a certain aesthetic which isn't mainstream.
When the phone is closed, the screen near the cameras responds to touch. You are able to access notifications and customise your widgets go your preference which is so helpful! I was able to access the weather, my music app, alarms, start recording my videos although you need to open the phone once started and the calender. I was then able to add steps and my schedule. It was very handy to have these available without having to open the phone.
The size of the phone when folded fits perfectly in my hand and isn't too wide. Opening the phone does feel stiff but I'm guessing that will get easier the more I use it.
This is my update as I upgraded to the Flip5 phone.
As first impressions go, it's not much different from the Flip 4. The main difference is the screen on the front, and honestly it does change things, especially if you're recording.
