Yes, I've had the Samsung zFlip 4 for a year and a half. It's great, my phones used to always fall out of my jacket pockets, but the center of gravity of the folded phone is much more stable and I don't have that problem anymore. Can fit easily into my front overall pockets too which is nice. Screen feels much safer as well, since it's usually closed.
(I work outdoors, with overalls a lot)
My only issue with it is the lack of a headphone jack and lack of a removable battery, and it gets overheating issues when I'm outside on hot days - but so has literally every phone I've had. Outdoor worklife is tough on phones.
There is a visible crease, and some friends have mentioned that the fold line would bother them. Personally it doesn't bother me.
The snap close is especially fun, too.
And I like how I can have it propped up in the L position, nice way to have a little screen playing YouTube videos in the background while I work.
Someone mentioned you could do the L shape that's very cool.
And the snap shut does sound cool.
And how it's more secure in your pocket, that's often a concern of mine.
It doesn't feel bulky folded?
One thing to note if you get one, you will get comments on your phone ๐
Haha yea I'm anticipating that from the negative comments here. Thanks.
Not to me at all, way less bulky. It's thinner than my wallet, and since it's not long, it doesn't jam into my leg when I kneel or sit down. However, I don't have a case for it, not sure how it would feel with a case.
Cool. I'd probably go caseless too since my main concern is the screen.
