I spent the past few years bitching and moaning about phones getting too big. And then manufacturers decided to fold them in half.
bitching and moaning about phones getting too big
For me, though, it is a ticket to the past, and a familiar journey down the memory lane. Or so I thought it would be. The reality turned out to be a bit different.for the first time I immediately thought “This thing is square!” The next thing I noticed was that the phone doesn’t fully close. The flexible screen only bends up to a certain angle and there’s a small crevice when you snap the phone closed.
Now, 180 grams is considered lightweight by modern standards, as many flagships nowadays easily cross the 200g threshold. It’s quite interesting the human perception - when the phone is folded it feels heavy, heavier than when it’s unfolded. It’s also great in a small woman’s purse but I wouldn’t advise you to try and carry it in your back pocket. The thin, non-folding phones are much more suited to tight pockets, I’m afraid.This is the crucial part. For me, a phone passes the compact test if you can easily manage it with one hand. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is not the device you’re looking for, if you plan to use your other hand for… well, other stuff.
Even though I would choose the iPhone mini before the Z flip any day of the week, watching videos on the mini is a tiresome endeavor, and typing is a nightmare. The Z Flip 3 is just like an S22+ when unfolded with all the benefits that come with it.
