Samsung Galaxy Z Flip

Worth it if…Worth it, with caveats.

Best foldable available and a great piece of engineering, but specs are a generation behind for the price, so he would not personally buy it.

What I liked

  • Improved hinge with free hold
  • Glass display and compact size
  • Useful small front display
  • Best foldable currently available

What I didn't

  • Last year's Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset
  • No 5G
  • Only Full HD+ 60Hz screen
  • Visible crease and very tall screen leaves black bars

In my words
