The Galaxy Z Flip is the best folding phone so far, but it still isn’t for everyone. It’s a regular phone size when unfolded and a little coaster of a thing when closed. The specs are high-end but not the best available, and it’s undoubtedly fragile. But if it appeals and you can afford it, there’s a lot of fun to be had with its completely new form factor, top performance and solid battery life.

The Galaxy Z Flip was the best foldable phone, at least until the Galaxy Z Fold 2 came along. As clever as the design of the Flip is, at a still-high $1,380, it’s hard to recommend this phone over more traditional flagships like the iPhone 11 Pro and Galaxy S20 Plus.

Samsung’s brand-new Galaxy Z Flip is the third folding screen phone that I’ve reviewed, and it happens to also be the best one — but don’t let that fool you. As with the Galaxy Fold and the Motorola Razr, the Z Flip is more of an expensive experiment than a real product anybody should buy. Although Samsung is touting that this phone has a glass screen, it has fewer benefits than previously thought. Pardon the pun, but temper your expectations.

The Galaxy Z Flip is the first foldable phone that I really think you should buy – if you can afford it.
It’s not perfect – the camera, battery, and fingerprint sensor all have their flaws – but Samsung has nailed the form factor, making the Z Flip a joy to use.

The Galaxy Z Flip is neither cheap nor perfect, but it's simply fun.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is the flip-phone-style foldable smartphone with a 6.7-inch display that collapses in half. Its novelty will turn heads, but so will its extraordinarily high price. It now comes in 4G LTE or 5G, each with durable thin glass that makes it feel more durable than the Moto Razr foldable.

El Galaxy Z Flip es el primer teléfono plegable que pensamos de esta nueva era que deberías comprar si puedes permitirtelo por su precio.
Su cámara, batería y sensor de huellas dactilares pueden mejorar y no puede competir con el rendimiento de los modelos más premium, pero Samsung parece haber dado en el clavo en el factor de forma de su Galaxy Z Flip, lo que hace que usarlo sea todo un placer.

Avec le Z Flip, Samsung a beaucoup appris de ses erreurs commises sur le Fold puisque la conception et le design de ce nouveau smartphone pliable ont été solidifiés et perfectionnés (charnière, écran). Là où le Fold se distingue, par contre, c’est au niveau de ses capteurs photos (au nombre de 3), de sa batterie et de son espace de stockage qui sont davantage importants. Cependant, n’oublions pas que la puce du Z Flip est plus puissante.
En conclusion, le Galaxy Z Flip est, d’après nous, un téléphone à clapet mieux accompli que le Fold de par sa robustesse, son ergonomie et son prix moins onéreux.
