1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,279
ah mother flippin flip we're gonna unbox

2
00:00:03,199 --> 00:00:10,320
a flippin phone today i'm comin into this as a complete flippin

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:14,880
newcomer i've actually never used i don't think i've ever used a a galaxy

4
00:00:12,799 --> 00:00:19,279
fold either like a z fold like the big one and i've never used one of these

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:24,080
either the smaller flippy boys i did have a motorola razor

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:28,400
as you guys must have but i also had the even more impressive motorola sliver

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:32,960
that one had itunes enough about that we're here to look at the samsung galaxy

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:37,040
z flip four so i'm coming out as a newcomer i don't really get why you

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,200
would want this but there are people who love it apparently i think i heard that

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,879
it's the most popular folding phone in the world but uh we're gonna see we're

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,360
gonna we're gonna take a look at this with the fresh pair of eyes it's got an

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:54,559
icon of a backpack and then warranty repeating over and over

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,960
well i'll have to trust dbrand bro that

14
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:02,399
this uh skin protects the flip from drops and scratches and such because i

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:08,320
i'm a bit of a dropper of phones and that's all i'm gonna say

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:12,080
um okay in the in the case that's what is that all we have there's definitely

17
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:15,040
nothing else in here okay we do have some extra goodies

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:21,520
we got okay this is just a booklet telling you

19
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:24,320
to do stuff very cool a USB-C to c

20
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:29,439
charging cord no charger in the box you fools and onto the phone itself so this

21
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,759
uh design is apparently very very similar to the flip 3 that came out last

22
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:37,600
year but they've just kind of like done some refinements i think that the bezels

23
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:42,320
are a little bit smaller the actual thickness is less thick

24
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:47,520
and i believe that the cameras uh protrude out a little less but again

25
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:52,159
newcomer i don't really have the context for this so i'm gonna give you the

26
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:59,200
straight up raw experience of someone who's never used a flip phone before here we go let's flip it before i even

27
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,200
look at anything else how does it feel

28
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,600
just before we go any further i don't understand what the point of this is you

29
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,039
have a phone that's nice and thin it fits in your pocket and then what are

30
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,920
you gonna do with it you're gonna you're gonna double the thickness it fits

31
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:16,239
better it doesn't okay look at that

32
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:20,879
i'm standing here i don't even know that the phone's there to be honest it's so

33
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,800
thin now i'm gonna fold it in half oh i got this big weight in my pocket

34
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:28,080
look at this you can see it it weighs the same

35
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,640
yeah but it's more it's denser it's dense now look you can see it protruding

36
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:37,040
i don't want things to protrude at me now that we've established that uh let's

37
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:41,840
uh look at the exterior of the phone you know what this is funny i've heard so

38
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,599
much about the front glass and how

39
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:48,400
far they've come but like with the screen off that crease in the middle is

40
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,920
super noticeable and like maybe i won't notice it as much when the phone is

41
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:57,200
actually on but anyways we got the front of the phone with samsung's you know

42
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,800
their own folding glass uh situation with a i think it's got a screen

43
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:06,800
protector on it but they do have gorilla glass victus plus on the back uh display

44
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,640
here on the right side we've got a power

45
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,840
button that also looks like it's a fingerprint reader yep that is a

46
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:18,239
fingerprint reader on the side there next to the volume rocker on the top we

47
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,959
got a microphone i guess on this side

48
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:26,640
sim card tray that's not a dual sim speakers on the bottom usb type-c

49
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:30,560
2.0 which we spotted on the specs which is interesting i would i would expect

50
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,080
that you should have like at least 3.0 sometimes you have to make sacrifices to

51
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,599
have a completely unnecessary feature that doesn't make any sense i'm not a

52
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:40,480
hater this is the most popular folding phone in the world how does that make

53
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,840
sense is it is it is it people buying it

54
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:50,799
because they want to put it in their purses moving on we have uh i guess two other mics at the

55
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:56,799
bottom there and no headphone jack again makes no sense on the back we have two

56
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,799
12 megapixel cameras uh with dual pixel

57
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:03,280
face detection autofocus and on the front we have also a 10 megapixel

58
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:09,920
so interesting this is what i don't get either if like

59
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:13,200
it okay if i was gonna have a phone like this this is i guess this is the this is

60
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,759
the trade-off because they want to have a hinge that is strong enough that you

61
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:21,040
can like put it there and put it at any angle

62
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,800
you know there was another example in the in the pro product promo that they

63
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:28,560
had like someone using this like a camcorder like this

64
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,800
and they were like yeah oh we were in the 90s again and that's

65
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,199
that's dumb to me the the coolest thing about my old

66
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,800
motorola razor was the fact that i could kind of pick it up with one hand and

67
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:47,600
just like flip it up and this is like really annoying to me have it in my pocket

68
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,840
okay oh i have a call or something i take it out i have to like fully do that

69
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:55,600
or i have to use two hands i guess before we turn this thing on

70
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:59,520
dbrand demands i tell you more about them bell what do we what what what's

71
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,240
the big deal what does dbrand want everyone knows their skins are great you

72
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:05,840
know we're gonna talk about something different though okay

73
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:11,360
check out these uh we're gonna do a before and after we're gonna do a review height extending

74
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:16,560
insoles so you can join the six foot club sorry what dbrand is making these

75
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:20,240
this is a joke at six foot club we deliver unique quality products that

76
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:24,639
will give you a boost in height increasing your confidence and positively changing the world's

77
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,400
perception this is such a weird thing we can't

78
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:33,280
eliminate height bias but we can help you capitalize on it now you two can

79
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:38,720
enjoy the benefits of being taller this is such a weird take we can't stop

80
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:43,039
ageism but we can give you a mask so you look younger so

81
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:49,840
people hire you time defying height boost air pocket

82
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:52,880
compression sizing for wide feet

83
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:54,160
oh you're so tall now my shoes are too

84
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,639
tight wow wow

85
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,479
that right there that could that could be the change that you need in your life

86
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:07,199
because yeah this this is like where your eyes are it's scary

87
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:10,880
you're tall man i'm six i'm i'm six one

88
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:14,479
dbrand doesn't only uh force us to have slightly awkward

89
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:18,720
conversations about immutable characteristics they also sell cool

90
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:23,840
skins and cases and stuff so go to dbrand.com short Linus

91
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:28,000
get it to see those

92
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:33,280
so we just charged this thing and it went from zero to 61 in like 10

93
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:38,000
minutes or something that seems crazy to me wait is it nothing set up

94
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:42,160
okay so we finished the setup process on the phone and there's a whole thing up

95
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:45,680
like a whole list of warnings that you have to think about now because you have

96
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,960
a foldable phone this stuff seems to be specific to the folding display when you

97
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:53,759
fold the phone make sure there's nothing inside such as a card keys or coins this

98
00:06:51,599 --> 00:06:56,720
phone isn't dust resistant exposure to small particles such as sand may cause

99
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:01,039
damage and this like this is this still the

100
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:05,759
thing with this form factor again like the benefit just seems so small compared

101
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:09,360
to all the risks all the extra stuff like you can see here i would i just

102
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:14,479
noticed this i don't know how well you can see that but

103
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:16,400
there's like this little exposed hinge

104
00:07:14,479 --> 00:07:21,919
and uh i feel it when i'm running my finger over there and like if i go fast

105
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:25,440
that could take some skin off it couldn't but it feel it doesn't feel

106
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:30,800
comfortable it feels like it's in the way so this phone is water resistant

107
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,400
ipx8 so immersion in any liquid other

108
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,720
than fresh water such as oh such as saltwater

109
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:42,400
alcohol can damage your phone uh you can immerse it in only water

110
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:47,360
it's i guess it's it's it can handle water immersion but there are little

111
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:52,160
bits where dust can get in all right we're in as i suspected once

112
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,280
the screen is on and you're looking at it kind of head-on you don't see this

113
00:07:53,759 --> 00:08:00,560
the crease at all although as soon as you move it you kind of start to see ah

114
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,560
there she is

115
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:08,639
there it is you can't hide from me to me phones are tools okay i get a small

116
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:12,800
phone because to me there's greater utility in being able to use it

117
00:08:10,479 --> 00:08:15,759
one-handed some people want a big screen because that's more important to them

118
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:20,400
than than being comfortable like they're fine like shifting the phone around in their hand in order to get their thumb

119
00:08:18,479 --> 00:08:23,520
to certain places and i'm not judging them for that but i am saying they're

120
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,440
wrong i'm just gonna how many asides have i

121
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:31,440
stopped to do and talk about the stupid form factor it's not stupid it's fine

122
00:08:29,919 --> 00:08:36,479
hey if you care about that kind of stuff you're probably going to care about the colors and let me tell you this thing

123
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:41,680
comes in in bora purple and pink gold

124
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:44,640
and blue and and graphite there's more

125
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:48,880
uh there's a bespoke edition for if you really want to just

126
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:55,600
impress people show off the gold gold frame yellow front white back and

127
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:57,440
there's other combinations as well um

128
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,880
okay one thing i am curious about is what this front screen can do because

129
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:06,160
apparently they've made some improvements to the uh rear display here

130
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:09,920
uh so what can you do with it that's my question how do i i thought you were

131
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:14,480
able to like swipe through things on oh there we go what

132
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:18,480
no play okay so there's a music player alarms i'm guessing you can't like set

133
00:09:16,959 --> 00:09:22,480
alarms from there but it'll tell you when you have an alarm what's this audio

134
00:09:20,839 --> 00:09:26,399
recording open phone to continue what's the point

135
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:31,600
of that interesting it has this the buttons ui

136
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,720
by default i thought that the gesture ui is just like default across the board

137
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:38,959
but samsung's holding on take it out of my pocket do that oh and then i can

138
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:44,240
swipe right away if i press the power button okay oh i'm in a dangerous situation i better

139
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:48,240
record audio and then oh delete recording discarded

140
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,040
that's okay so that right there that's a pretty cool use case for this tiny

141
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:56,080
little screen um what else a timer that's great a

142
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,440
calendar very useful you can unlock the phone while it's closed with your

143
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,959
fingerprint that's pretty cool oh nice okay so i was

144
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:07,519
wondering if you like because it's annoying to have to swipe through all of those to get to the end and you can

145
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:10,480
actually reorder them so if i want like the calendar up at the top then i'm

146
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:15,839
gonna do that nice all right let's play a music thing

147
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:19,519
and see if that shows up on the front screen playing okay we're playing music

148
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:24,240
now but you can't tell because i turned the volume off what does it show on the

149
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:27,680
cover there's a little music icon so if i tap the little thing it shows up

150
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:33,760
but if i lock

151
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:35,360
put in my put in my pocket bring it up

152
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,880
it should it should be the first thing that should be intuitive right these

153
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:43,440
guys were asking oh can you answer calls while it's

154
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:46,560
unfolded but at that point i mean first of all no probably not obviously like

155
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:51,839
the like the earpiece and this the mic are not right next to each other right now

156
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:55,040
so no you probably have to unfold it but at that point it's like why are we

157
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:58,640
asking about all these things that you can do with it's when it's

158
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,959
closed when you can just do that and take the call there are just so many

159
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:07,600
questions in the world

160
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:10,000
the other uh the flip three had uh dual front-facing speakers as far as i'm

161
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:17,680
aware this one does as well i'm at 4k now this is 120 hertz display

162
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:22,959
dynamic ammo led whatever that means 2640x1080

163
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:27,700
22x9 aspect ratio just like the last one so cinematic content is going to be good

164
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:31,649
now we have max

165
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:39,440
pretty good i refuse to do a more in-depth speaker

166
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,760
comparison for this phone because if you're really

167
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,200
concerned about the speaker quality on a phone that you're

168
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:51,040
be honest for you're primarily getting so that you can use it as jewelry in

169
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:55,920
your purse then you got your priorities messed up man back to the display it's

170
00:11:52,959 --> 00:12:00,800
HDR 10 plus certified and it's got 1200

171
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:04,160
nits peak brightness for HDR you may have noticed me using the fingerprint

172
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:07,440
sensor quite a bit here and i have noticed that it is impressively fast

173
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,800
okay so i've ragged on this on this phone for some things so far but for the

174
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:16,320
most part the specs of it are actually really competitive with other flagship phones i

175
00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:20,480
mean it's got the snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 which is the new flagship you know top

176
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:25,360
tier processor that you're going to see in most flagship phones coming out i

177
00:12:22,959 --> 00:12:31,120
think it's got 128 gigs of storage and eight gigs at that uh 999 usd based here

178
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:35,600
i mean that's pretty impressive and as you saw we got the fast charging which is really nice although maybe part of

179
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:42,000
the reason that it was so good at the fast charging is because the battery is only 3 700 milliamp hours which is not

180
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:45,680
horrible but it's kind of like mid low mid oh another thing that i forgot to

181
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:49,040
mention when we were talking about the front screen here is the fact that

182
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:55,120
if you have this front screen on a foldable phone you want that to be able to take a selfie right this is a test

183
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:59,680
they better have camera shortcut mapped to double click on the power button that

184
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:04,880
should just be default disappointed just up oh

185
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:09,040
but it opened the inside that's stupid

186
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:13,920
i'm so confused we got the phone unlocked on the home screen okay

187
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,600
close the phone double click

188
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,959
it goes to camera never mind i guess it does work it

189
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:26,480
didn't do it the first time because it was deaking me out it was psyching me out if you want to get real dramatic

190
00:13:24,079 --> 00:13:29,839
with it hello nice to see you

191
00:13:28,079 --> 00:13:34,399
if i took a photo like this and sent it to you would you even know i took it on

192
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:38,880
a foldable phone that was folded in half tap to take photo

193
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:43,360
it looked like it was in portrait mode but it took a landscape photo oh right

194
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:48,800
oops i have to do this double tap to show full preview

195
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:52,240
oh there that's really dumb

196
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:58,320
right it's a 1.9 inch super amoled uh 512 by

197
00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:02,959
260. i mean that looks remarkably sharp for

198
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:06,720
like i mean it's a tiny screen screen what do you expect yeah

199
00:14:05,279 --> 00:14:10,399
just use the main camera for this don't use the top stubby

200
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:17,279
and you know it's a samsung camera so that's a little more washed out like

201
00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:23,120
gray colors than i would expect let's take one on the regular

202
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,120
one on the ultra wide

203
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:29,120
that's really wide i mean you know i'm not gonna go spend too long in the

204
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,560
samsung photo app here because like you know they're kind of all the same they

205
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:37,360
have their cool uh extra samsung features modes for your for your camera

206
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:42,880
super slow-mo slow motion it can do 40 uh 4k at 4k at 30 or 60 FPS

207
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:48,160
and then various you know slow motion modes with your 1080p and 720p etc

208
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:53,199
as we said though uh one of the cool things about having a phone with a

209
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:57,040
flexi form factor is the fact that you can use these kind of different camera

210
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:02,399
modes here so i don't know if you can see when it's flat the viewfinder takes

211
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:05,279
up that much of the screen but if you bend it

212
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:09,360
it shifts now so that the viewfinder's up here and you got your controls down

213
00:15:06,959 --> 00:15:12,720
here instead of holding it i could like put it down and now you know it's being

214
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:18,800
used as a phone stand and i can take that photo so there's one use you can also switch

215
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:23,120
which side the viewfinder is on by pressing this button so now this would

216
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:27,120
be maybe even better like this you know what i mean hook this around a

217
00:15:24,959 --> 00:15:32,720
corner oh yeah that's what i like to see

218
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:37,120
we saw this video and we decided to take that out this says samsung although i am

219
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:42,959
kind of surprised that they put two uh 12 megapixel cameras on this when i

220
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:45,920
believe that samsung's s series

221
00:15:42,959 --> 00:15:49,199
uh phones have much higher megapixels i think they have at least at least 50. i

222
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:53,279
think they might have a 64 megapixel on one of those

223
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:57,600
that makes this worse yeah no that makes more megapixels is stupid at that sensor

224
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,800
size oh i know that like more megapixels doesn't necessarily

225
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:04,880
equate to better photos i'm just saying that like you know that gives you greater flexibility if you want to like

226
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:08,160
zoom all the way in on something or whatever you know okay david

227
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:12,959
and if you're buying this one just for the camera you're making a mistake once again

228
00:16:11,199 --> 00:16:17,279
i'm talking about you and because of the samsung phone they

229
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:22,480
changed their policy recently uh in terms of Android os updates and security

230
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:27,519
updates so this one is going to get the four years of Android os updates

231
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:31,440
that other samsung phones are getting as well as five years of security updates

232
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:36,560
but samsung is leading the way

233
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:41,120
in stupid form factors yes so this was my experience of a

234
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:45,040
foldable phone i think that you know basically my preconceptions about the

235
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:50,720
idea of a foldable phone were largely confirmed i still don't understand the

236
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:53,120
utility of having like a regular phone

237
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:57,839
that folds in half so subscribe to techlinked and to ShortCircuit i guess

238
00:16:56,399 --> 00:17:01,519
love you so much watch another video now bye

239
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:08,079
