Is it good?

    I've maintained what I always say:- Such flips are mostly useless.

    They must go ahead and create a midrange "Wrist-phone" which is an entire smartphone in the wristwatch format. If they employ Snapdragon 625 with foldable form factor and a small watch like frame, it would be awesome.

    Because making it stand on your wrist is actual useful innovation...!

        Glasstic and UTG are certainly marketing gimmicks Samsung uses.

        Speaking of the handset itself, it is actually very good despite having never tested it at all (I tested S20 series only at retailers). It's also cheaper than the Razr, too. System and gaming performance is supposedly faster than S20 Exynos thanks to efficient SD chipset (and powerful GPU), and way faster than S10 Exynos. although fragile screen means I can't recommend it for intensive gaming. That's fine if battery life is average, as it's a folding smartphone.

        This and S20 or S20+ (SD) are the only Samsung handsets I can recommend. Other than the mentioned other Samsung lineups are pure rubbish and bested by Chinese OEMs and Apple.

          Folding screens are epic fail. First you have crease, fragile screen, breaking hinge, no IP rating, and eventually burned out pixels at the crease. Next, it is so phat it is like having 2 phones in your pocket. Finally the price is way to high for mid tier specs and camera.
          Only form factor that makes sense for expanding phones is rollable screen.

            A display you can scratch or dent with a fingernail is just useless.
            By the way "polymer based display" = fancy marketing word for plastic

              I still feel 3 inch touch screen with qwerty keyboard is still the convenient design

                The battery size is same with s10. What's wrong with it?

                  This phone will leave most proponents discombobulated with nostalgia.

                    "Infinity Flex Adaptive AMOLED display with Ultra Thin Glass layered under polymer-based protective surface"... That's a lot of words for "scratches like plastic".

                        Anonymous, 03 Mar 2020Looks nice, too bad it's so expensive. But looks good and p... moreYes foldable phones will cost $1100 in 2021, $600 in 2022, and be in midrangers and low-end budget devices in 2023. In 2024 I bet we will find $50 kids toys with flexible screens.. mark my words!

                          nice experiment for a fledgling form factor ruined by a punch hole camera!

                            Akez, 03 Mar 2020No audio test again. Want to know speaker's loudness. Gsma staff said they are making changes for audio test.
                            They will update reviews that are missing this part.

                                No studio shots again? Oppo Reno3's review also did not have studio shots.

                                  Razr = cellphone design
                                  Z Filp = makeup case design

                                        Looks nice, too bad it's so expensive. But looks good and premium. Next year it's going to have better technology I guess. Better price too ?
