The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is one of the few phones I’ve been truly excited to review, but after using it for two weeks, I’d say that I’m left with mixed feelings. On one hand, it’s super cool holding a piece of the future, and it’s refreshing to review a phone so different from anything I’ve ever tested. On the other, the Galaxy Z Flip is too expensive for a phone with questionable long-term durability and last year’s specs. Drawing attention is one thing the Galaxy Z Flip is really good at. Soon after its arrival at the office, there was already a line of people wanting to see it in person. Guys were intrigued, but it was the girls who absolutely loved it. I can’t say that I’m surprised. The Galaxy Z Flip is clearly designed to be a fashion accessory, and the purple color looks gorgeous. And that’s about it – a new chipset, main camera, battery, and improved charging speed. And the latest Android version with the most current One UI, of course.

The folding mechanism has been working well so far. Samsung notes that nylon fibers have been strategically added in the gaps to prevent dust from entering. But the phone does not have an IP rating so it’s not resistant to water damage.
