Samsung has another folding phone, and this time it's the Galaxy Z Flip. Dieter Bohn reviews the screen, the hinge, and the cameras. It may not be worth $1380, but you can see that we're getting close to folding screens becoming "normal."

Would you buy the Galaxy Z Flip?
@Louell Ralf ?
Yea
Bought one: amazing
No, I bought the Z Flip 5G because of the mat finish
I have it
galaxy z flip photos are very similar to Iphone 11, and its a pretty big phone. so look, we have good cameras and a pretty portable phone that looks so cool and also samsung screen is gorgeous. i bought this phone just cause i can have a good camera that can stay stand alone. so for making lives its easier. it feels so beautiful, inovative, portable, cool. The design, its so nice. I already have Canon m50 so, if i need a super megapixel photo i just can use my camera lol
Worse review ever.
Jeez, he's just flipping back and forth and answering the question by asking more questions. I couldn't watch to the end.
I love flip phones.
still waiting for the folding iPhone.....
825 eur
I'm going to quote Malcolm here, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."
It is a very cool phone
It’s amazing how he goes out of his way to make it confusing and non/desirable
First world problems at its finest
He dont know anything!!!!😅😅
Listen ... I own this phone and its amazing .....
Yo man if apple does this would u still be giving the same review. Samsung is way better than apple tht ur country makes. Ripper
So i saying apple is worth buying wen it never really upgrades but the proce does hahaha
Samsung Galaxy Z how can I get it
People are idiots for spending so much money for a damn phone. Cell phones r the worst thing ever invented! All u see is people staring at their phones all day. Makes me wanna chuck it at their stupid face lol
You sound angry for no reason
Hey. I need someone’s help. I’m thinking of picking up a z flip when the new s series phones come out. What do you guys think.
There a great price just get insurance
This could have been really fun if there was no crease in the middle and the screen wasn't so fragile.
It's more of a Galaxy L Flip 😂
I want a phone like this, except actually durable.
Had my z flip since launch now. Any questions? It's holding up really good, been dropping it like crazy and I don't have any issue at all with it. I do have a dbrand skin on it though
seriously stop it dude
This is not a review. It's ranting
You sound new to the verge
Does anyone know how the sales have been on folding phones? I wouldn't buy one now but I hope they will keep improving upon them cause one day I really want to get one. I've NEVER gotten used to having a whole rectangular smart phone in my pocket, and I'm very antsy about damaging the screen. Would love to have a flip phone eventually.
So from that.... you don't like the phone.
6:46 idc that was cool.
Almost this entire video is negative in its review of this fantastic device..
When this guy see something: Normal.
It can be lost easily
It will be special if its an iphone
Hahahahahaha. I think that's how normal people normally gives review to a normal phone. Dude 😂
This whole review felt very pessimistic...
Flip phones died out before I was an old enough age to own one, but now my dreams of owning a flip phone are possible again 🥺 Except, I'm broke. I wear my nails long. And I'd probably drop this phone in sand which would be the end of it - so it'd be like that sometimes😂😂
Perfectly happy with my A70
stupid phone. nice review
The Verge is biased towards Apple products. Simple. It would take Apple years to research at Samsung's level. Also, while you're at it ask Apple to use its own display. Oh wait you need Samsung or LG for that! There is a reason this channel can never compete with MKBHD or Unbox Therapy for that matter.
It's a corny phone, poor design! Samsung, you can't win them all! 🙄
I found this non helpful.
Is it just me but does this seem apple-biased
I'm waiting till 2023 I'm getting the 4 generation for this phone if they make a 4 gen
Thus thing is way ahead of its time. Samsung should hold their horses and wait until technology advances so it will be better and not be a bad phone. Idk what tf is happening with Samsung but their making phones faster than people can buy them. Probably money and trying to beat Apple.
sharper than a razor :P
I like the concept and if Apple were to release one then i would definitely buy one ( i am an Iphone use only)
I almost purchase this phone until I saw this video. Thanks for saving me 1380 dollars!! lol
I love it but i you can't put a screen protector on it and case
They do sell a leather case for $79. Maybe cut a reg screen protector in 2?
I still want one XD it's for us more minimal conserved space savers lol
I came here to see review and all I hear is complaints.
It's ok...I'm a Samsung fan but when its compared to the Razr the Z is less appealing.
his "normal" means to me is like "Honestly don't buy the phone" LOL
I want this photo so bad
3rd Folding phone he's review 2nd Phone that folds vertically Folding Phone no.1
just tell us that you hate this phone. its easier!
Let's be honest, did you know this was a Verge video? I didnt. Now I do. Goodbye.
What is the point of a review if you "don't know" anything
Me:How in the world do glass bend? Samsung:with 11 secret spices.....
"Boring" is such a shocking word that I didn't expect to hear in this review, while no "boring" word mentioned during iPhone review (it's a great phone (fact !), but it's ultimately very incremental update lol) when this has more than once 🤷🏻♂️ In my mind : It's a freaking phone that can can fold its display, something we couldn't imagine last several years duh ...
Just a N O R M A L review
The glass feels pretty normal but better than normal, when I put glass on my galaxy 6 tablet the glass was about normal but better.
Nobody: Dieter: What is a computer? Nobody: Dieter: What is normal? Just kidding with you (Dieter), love your reviews!
Does not like the "flex mode" of the phone but likes it when it becomes a clock stand at night. Lol! So much contrary on this review. Plus so much "i don't knows!" 😂
He has no technological experience in his education. He has a bachelor's in English and philosophy. His review is an utter sham. I have trouble accepting his education considering his very limited vocabulary.
I'm still very much into the idea of foldable smartphones. Hopefully there will be some cheaper ones in a few years.
That title 😍 "Z" how do u do it Verge! 👌🏼
can't wait to have a phone that fits into small pockets again
So we're back to flip phones, now?
the galaxy note fold is coming.
Literally this guy is a samsung hater
The price is too high but people will spend an extra 150$ just to upgrade the memory on an iPhone making the price very simular lol
Soon the foldable phones will be better...
Dude,it’s a phone that folds!!
Best review to Apple user
I feel like this review was a little harsh. Like saying they did the screen like just so they could call it glass is honestly pretty rude to the people who work on it and came up with it. Like damn bro I kno it's not perfect but let samsung try something
Slap an apple logo on the back and it will be the best most innovative phone in the world.
After watching this review I have the feeling that all folding phones are infected with the coronavirus, specially the Galaxy Z Flip
No Comment this guy doesn't know what his talking about he only likes apple.
this man is BORING. sorry kids
Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
I actually PREFER the symmetrical bezel around the screen over EVRYTHING that's available on Android. Having a bezels the exact same size all around looks just a million times better than having 3 different thick bezels around like on All Android flagships even if they're thinner... I don't care about this "I have the thinnest bezel!!!"-nonsense.
normal? don't you know the meaning of 'normal' ? what the hell do you know ?
Don’t hate on Apple they just do it better!
Fuckedup phone
Very honest review sir, you are the best
Hahahah this hate of flex mode is so bias. If apple did that I’m sure he would think it’s a great solution.
Samsung should be sued for a price like that
this video is literally just bashing the phone the entire phone..
Ok Verge.. let's never try to innovate again... Happy?
This guy I noticed he doesn't like anything
Dieter doesn't like research and innovation....
Meh, y'all remember that foldable gameboy? This is the same with extra steps
I’m left handed no for. Z flip
What I see as a missed opportunity is having the plastic layer be self-healing, like the LG G Flex of old
he is not good reviewing phones like this
Is this phone better than a normal phone, nope, will I buy it over a normal phone, nope. If it’s not better why would I buy it?!
In india z flip is cheaper then iphons 11 pro max😂🤦
I don't like how he reviewed this at all. It was more cons...and didn't point out the pros
Rajasthan
For normal people that have small, but deep (!) pockets, you mean?
Worst channel in ROlabel
This phone is real innovation take notes Apple
