    AnonD-844232, 29 Jan 2022But that price is gonna put off everyone In china its fairly cheap compared to the Samsung one. Its just outside of China where it is expensive, probably because only a little amount of people will buy it outside of China.

      As usual in China always copy and paste! Z Flip 3 is much better than this in my opinion
      .. That screen outside is useless!

            A couple of things going for this device over the Flip 3...
            - 4000 mAh battery
            - Expandable storage

            I don't care for faster charging as the Chinese just wants you to degrade your battery faster. Still $400 more expensive. No 5G. No Google Play Services which I need as there is just convenience having it, even with all the tracking and wake locks.

            Overall, it's a decent alternative. Just not for me. It's width is a little too much. Under 73 mm is fine but not at 75.5. Just good to see more foldable flip phones. But I say they should try to target pricing it under $1000 like the Flip 3 did. Under $600, then they start to become mainstream again.

              Even though I have yet to use 5G on my Xperia 5.2 since it's not common in my country yet, it really feels like an odd decision to not implement it on a 2022 phone at this price...

                      Great looking mobile, far more practical while excellent Huawei Engineering (obviously, envious West banned LOL). Hope they ditch QC garbage instead persist with their outstanding performance master Kirin. Their cameras are real joy and their flawless OLED panels and ever lasting batteries! Huawei you are many generations ahead of the highest earner by at least a decade. Great work!

Starting with the design of the box and ending up with the phone itself makes Z Flip on Motorola Razr look like cheap toys. This is the best version at this moment of a flip phone. Just go and put your hands on it and you will feel the quality difference in a instance. Too bad about GMS but for many it's not going to be a problem at all.

                            The real test would be to see what happens if you put a piece of ham and mustard between the screens and then you close the thing.

                              With 76 mm in width it's a phone for people taller than 1 m 90 cm.

                                I don't think this mobile has Google service and 5G. This is important but you didn't even mention it.

                                  He forgot the most important part. The battery life. That is where the Z flip falls short.

                                    I'm surprised he could pull off the look. I think it's because of the hair.

                                    Both the P50 Pro and P50 Pocket are fantastic phones. US stifling competition and consumer choice by blocking them from making their own chipsets and denying them 5G compatibility. US are anti-capitalist and the new commies at this point.

                                      I still prefer the Razr 5G and Z Flip 3 for their bigger cover displays. The Flip 3's cover display can be more useful using SamSprung but only if lower than One UI 4. The Razr 5G by far has the best cover display for a foldable clamshell.

                                      I really don't believe any flip phone should cost more than $499. Felt I overpaid for my Flip 3 by $400. The price I got my 256 GB Razr 5G has been more worth it even with the weaker specs that's only on par to a Pixel 5.

                                      Think about it. I got my Razr 5G for only $100 more than my Motorola V600 from 2004. That's a bargain especially dealing with inflation. Razr 5G is a very underrated phone.
