Do you remember the Gold Fold? Yes smartphone So is the novel, original, expected. That device was not tablet and smartphone otherwise a hybrid of both would eventually be able to afford those their highest prices were not seriously injured.
Then you'll also remember (especially if you're a tech enthusiast like me) for all the months we had to wait to have a cell phone in our hands. Of all the delays, problems and technical failures that have caused the hybrid to believe.
With all this in mind, I'll be honest: I was thinking of getting the same disappointment with a brand new wrap: the Galaxy Z Flip. However, I agree to say that it is not always so. At least, not quite.
The Z Flip comes with a design that is more reliable than the original branding effort. At first glance it looks like a smartphone it's normal, so it can also be very effective in daily life.
I do not want to say that the Golden Fold will not be attractive, especially when we first saw it. The best screen ever tablet to a single cellphone in the pen. Surprisingly no doubt.
But does showing and showing really make sense? While the Galaxy Fold seems to be rolling and starting to happen because yes, the Z Flip seems to make sense: it folds in because it takes up less space, and appears to allow us to enjoy the reality of its big screen.
Also, you should look at both Smartphones when closed: while the Fold looks like something "bigger" than we'd like, the Flip reduces its size.
In fact, the Galaxy Z Flip will get more than one smile and one, because it reminds us of the models with the cover of some of the early 90s phones we had in our early childhood tomb.
Samsung's new wrap comes with a much better design
While it is true that the Galaxy Z Flip is too long for us to use with one hand, it is also true that there are many apps They are designed in such a way that we use both hands, for sure in this sense it will not be a distraction.
Yes it will bother those and those who want to watch the series and movies with the device, because the screen will shrink somehow.
When you turn off the phone you sit on that big screen. Here I love being able to watch a weird video, especially being able to support a phone without falling, but it brings back the disappointment to know that you can't fit into the whole Instagram post.
The reason? Simple: the apps Not for this kind of screen, but since Smartphones Slow wrap starts (slowly) to become a trend, hopefully soon apps main start to adapt to the new format.
And to be honest: that big screen is sometimes amazing. It's good to have quick access to the inside of the phone, but obviously the quicker you turn on the phone. In addition, its presence makes mobile bigger and heavier than necessary.
There's no doubt that the Glass Z Flip will be it smartphone ready for addicts visible. Like the latest Sony Xperia 1, its previous screen will be able to slide, slide and slide, losing it to to feed of any social network.
The fold-hinge is still visible
Accurate The hinges on the screen cover are still visible, though! wait Don't be disappointed yet: it's very advanced in this regard compared to the Golden Fold.
The new hub is so small that it also functions as a software that works as support for video calls and, hopefully (nothing is confirmed yet), we'll see more apps to combine useful functions and to use a hub.
When you insert the phone at about 100 degrees, the phone can see and operate the camera in a split screen mode in the lower part and video feed in the upper part.
Another point that supports the Galaxy Z Flip is the fact that it has been able to add support functionality to the phone itself. Since it is large enough, the device can fold in half and serve as support for viewing video in landscape view.
More good and bad: Fold vs Z Flip
Well, the Flip small screen doesn't work as well, though it's also true that it's part of the best looking device you'll ever need to unlock to use it (we like not to think about going back to a normal cell phone with a cover).
On the other hand, the two Golden Fold screens seem to contradict each other. You will move from one screen to the other, so be careful to know that both have failed: one is too small and the other too square.
Remember that the small Z Flip outer panel is there to show the time and nothing else. You can swipe to pick up or reject calls or leave someone trapped and see how long it's been.
So that's it, the functionality of the phone picker is limited: you can't use a locked phone (surprise!). And while this frustrates many and many, in my opinion it makes a lot of sense as Samsung tells you exactly which screen to use.
The screen is made of a very thin layer of flexible glass in its composition, which is usually plastic. Samsung said that the complexity of the device means that a flexible screen is not conducive to permanent instruction, on the other hand, the nail painted on the Galaxy Fold screen is enough to mark permanently.
Anyway: I wouldn't be too happy with the Flip resistance. Although it is undeniably improved in this regard compared to the Fold, it is also true that it is still possible to mark the anchor in a new wrap (although it costs a lot).
We are so accustomed to very powerful glass screens that will not be marked if you press them hard on the account, so this information can be a bad point to keep in mind before getting a Galaxy Z Flip.
So, is it worth the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip?
The fact is that this type of wrap device is in the maturation stage. In addition, to convince the public that the wrap can recover Smartphones Usually the hard work of products like Samsung.
It's a bit of a challenge especially since Samsung is still developing new (unbreakable) phones with better specifications than the Glass Z Flip and can be purchased at a fraction of the cost.
On the other hand, if we focus on the Samsung Samsung Fold comparisons with the Galaxy Z Flip, it's true that we are seeing significant improvements in the new model. However, the combination of a (firm) fragility at its most expensive price will mean that this type of product will still be considered as acceptable by a few.
If you are one of the lucky ones, you can just buy it first Samsung Galazy Z Flip on the official Samsung Spain website for € 1,500 (I told you it was expensive). The call will be available from February 14.
