Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4
My first try on a Flip…

My old Samsung Note 10+ was about 5 years old and showing its age so it was time for an upgrade.
I thought I'd give the flip phones a go as they're not 'first gen' so hopefully any bugs would have mostly been ironed out. I decided to go for the Flip4, the fold I think is a bot too big for me,
The folding screen is pretty cool. I was worried the dip in the middle would distract from watching videos but its mot too bad. You can't really tell the crease is there most of the time, it is a little noticeable in brighter scenes.
You definitely notice it's there whilst doom scrolling through insta or facebook but it doesn't get in the way.
You do need two hands to open it though which is a pain.
I like the front screen, I wish we got more from it though. You can only use certain widgets from a list. I would have preferred to have been able to access my entire app list from the front screen, it saves having to open and close the phone too many times. A bigger screen with full phone access would have been nice.
The 'flippability' comes in handy when taking photos, you can bend it slightly, put it on its side and take photos. The front screen is small but its good quality, taking selfies is soooo much easier with the main cameras. Photos are nice with good vibrant colours, night photos are good as well, I would say slightly better than my Note 10 and my Note 10 did nice night time photos.
All in all a pretty good phone.
*UPDATE*
Just upgraded to the Flip5.
I would say the Flip5 has some good improvements over the Flip4. The normal screen seems very similar but... The front cover screen is huge. You can see messages better and look through the widgets with ease. You can add apps to the front screen to but it's a bit of a faff to get it on there. It would be nice all if the apps were automatically usable.
The front screen has come in handy for selfies and especially handy for group shots. Just fold the phone to 90 degrees and turn the front screen on in the camera.
