Samsung - Galaxy Z Flip 5G 256GB (Unlocked) - Mystic Gray

I LOST MY FIRST REVIEW ON THIS PHONE. So I'm trying to put down all the info before I loose it again. All of the I-phone gals love this phone because Apple does not have one yet. The phone has less features than my Note 8 or Note 9. It has NO stylus. It has NO way of adding more memory. NO ear phone Jack. NO Iris recognition but a hard to use finger print reader. It only works after many trys, glad it has a four digit code when the reader does not detect a programed finger print. NO video calling, you have to use a new app called DUO which is actually FREE to down load from the Google store and the Apple store to make a video calls with the DUO phone app. The software program for my Yahoo mail is different on this flip phone. The Z flip phone is very slippery when wet and it loves finger prints on screen. I bought a phone protector from ARAREE and also a holster with a belt clip from BELTRON . I use them both. I only use the phone holder with the belt clip. I use the ARAREE protector that has a place to put a lanyard on and it also has a movable plastic cover over the swival hinge. See the pictures for details. The keyboard splits up when rotating the phone to make the screen larger. the system of charging my watch 3 with this phone does not charge because of the phone protector blocks the charging signal from the flip phone. Best to use a lanyard around your wrist. I use a Blutooth keyboard and mouse instead of the split keyboard when you rotate the phone. This phone will be used as my spare phone while my primary phone will be a Note 9. It is a nice paper weight that I can keep in my shirt pocket. It is a nice conversation piece when you flip it open in front of any I_phone users. My primary phone will still be a Note 9. Thank you Samsung for making a I-phone that flips in the middle.

It was not an easy decision for someone who has a Mac, iPad, and Apple watch to give up on my iPhone 11 Pro, and Apple watch as a result. But this phone offers something Apple doesn't. The display feels like a normal glass display it's solid, it doesn't bounce like I thought it will. It has fewer reflections and looks like it's naked. The optical clarity is unreal on this phone. It's giant when you need it and tiny when you don't. The mechanism is solid and it gives me confidence that the phone will last. You won't scratch it unless you have very long nails because the phone is always closed in your pocket. If you want to buy think twice! You won't be able to go back to the typical form factor never ever again. Once you use this, everything else is gonna be everything else to you. Even the iPhone.

I knew I wanted to get one of the folding smart phones well before they came out. I missed the first wave because I wanted a phone with 5G. I waited to purchase until the new RAZR came out. I did research and was torn between the Z Flip and RAZR 5G. After watching multiple reviews, it was very clear that the Z Flip was the better phone of the 2. I love everything about this phone; vibrant screen, fast snapdragon 865+ processor, the phones might not be top of the line but they are definitely good enough for my uses, when folded the phone is incredibly compact. Phone does not support DEX as of now, but Samsung might push it through an update like they did with the first Samsung Fold. This phone was everything I was hoping for a folding flip phone, it is nice to have a clamshell phone again.

I buy technology. I play with allot of different devices. When it comes to it, I'll take a new apple watch 6 in stand alone tied to the wife's phone and a seperate tablet or laptop anyday over a phone. I just don't see the phone as a necessary gadget with so many choices. This flip 5g made me pause. Wow, folds to almost my wallet, unfolds to 6.7 vivid infinity display and then, disappears in my pocket. Really enjoyed watching movies at night, the phone is so light, I didn't even notice I was holding it. I don't visually see the crease when the phone is on, it just seems to dissappear but you can definitely feel it. Maybe my prespective has been wrong. I miss the apple watch 6 but again, maybe I just didn't need that instead.

It has a wow factor that the regular smartphones don't have anymore as they all kinda look the same. I've had it for 2 weeks now and love it! The build quality is solid. I can tell the engineers spent a lot of time on this phone. It's super fast with the latest 865+ processor. The screen is fantastic. I thought the crease would bother me but it's only noticeable when there's light reflecting directly on it and it's very minor. The mono speaker is loud and maybe slightly below the S series I had but not bad at all. Battery life is good, it lasts all day even though it's smaller than others. The matte finish is beautiful and doesn't get fingerprint smudges. I didn't even put a case on it since it comes with that samsung premium screen replacement for a lower fee. One major improvement is the fingerprint sensor. It recognizes my finger pretty much every time.

Love the folding ability of the phone. The fact that i have a normal phone when i want it, but then can fold it and leave it in my front shirt pocket works wonders. Its a head turner when i flip it open and people stare for a little bit. Love it so far, like a s10e but flippable. wish i had a telephoto lens but overall all i use in the phone works well.

Love the function of using the flip to make the phone easier to carry. Wearing scrubs all day I have limited pockets. This makes it so much easier to carry. Just be careful not to scratch the screen as it does have a plastic covering and not glass. Side note...I am having issues with the charging port. Taking it in after a month of usage to see why it's loose. Other than that...the phone does what my Note 9 does just not as good photos but still the convenience of folding can't be beat!

I bought Samsung galaxy z flip What's Included • Data Cable • Earphones (USB Type-C) with sound by AKG • Ejection Pin • Galaxy Z Flip 5G • Quick Start Guide • Travel Adapter But after getting the phone their was no earphones (USB Type-C) with sound by AKG. Then contact someone in the store they promised to email me but they didn't say anything. Going twice to the store finally they said no earphones for this type of phone. Why not included?
