WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.279
ah mother flippin flip we're gonna unbox

00:00:03.199 --> 00:00:10.320
a flippin phone today i'm comin into this as a complete flippin

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

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

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:24.080
either the smaller flippy boys i did have a motorola razor

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:28.400
as you guys must have but i also had the even more impressive motorola sliver

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.960
that one had itunes enough about that we're here to look at the samsung galaxy

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

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:41.200
would want this but there are people who love it apparently i think i heard that

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

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

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:54.559
icon of a backpack and then warranty repeating over and over

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:56.960
well i'll have to trust dbrand bro that

00:00:54.559 --> 00:01:02.399
this uh skin protects the flip from drops and scratches and such because i

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

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

00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:15.040
nothing else in here okay we do have some extra goodies

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:21.520
we got okay this is just a booklet telling you

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:24.320
to do stuff very cool a USB-C to c

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:29.439
charging cord no charger in the box you fools and onto the phone itself so this

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.759
uh design is apparently very very similar to the flip 3 that came out last

00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:37.600
year but they've just kind of like done some refinements i think that the bezels

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:42.320
are a little bit smaller the actual thickness is less thick

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:47.520
and i believe that the cameras uh protrude out a little less but again

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

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

00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:59.200
look at anything else how does it feel

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

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

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:11.920
you gonna do with it you're gonna you're gonna double the thickness it fits

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:16.239
better it doesn't okay look at that

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

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

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:28.080
look at this you can see it it weighs the same

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

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

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

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.599
much about the front glass and how

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:48.400
far they've come but like with the screen off that crease in the middle is

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.920
super noticeable and like maybe i won't notice it as much when the phone is

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:57.200
actually on but anyways we got the front of the phone with samsung's you know

00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.800
their own folding glass uh situation with a i think it's got a screen

00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:06.800
protector on it but they do have gorilla glass victus plus on the back uh display

00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:08.640
here on the right side we've got a power

00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:11.840
button that also looks like it's a fingerprint reader yep that is a

00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:18.239
fingerprint reader on the side there next to the volume rocker on the top we

00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:20.959
got a microphone i guess on this side

00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:26.640
sim card tray that's not a dual sim speakers on the bottom usb type-c

00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:30.560
2.0 which we spotted on the specs which is interesting i would i would expect

00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:34.080
that you should have like at least 3.0 sometimes you have to make sacrifices to

00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:37.599
have a completely unnecessary feature that doesn't make any sense i'm not a

00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:40.480
hater this is the most popular folding phone in the world how does that make

00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:43.840
sense is it is it is it people buying it

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

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:56.799
bottom there and no headphone jack again makes no sense on the back we have two

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.799
12 megapixel cameras uh with dual pixel

00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:03.280
face detection autofocus and on the front we have also a 10 megapixel

00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:09.920
so interesting this is what i don't get either if like

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

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:17.759
the trade-off because they want to have a hinge that is strong enough that you

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:21.040
can like put it there and put it at any angle

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.800
you know there was another example in the in the pro product promo that they

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.560
had like someone using this like a camcorder like this

00:04:26.960 --> 00:04:32.800
and they were like yeah oh we were in the 90s again and that's

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:37.199
that's dumb to me the the coolest thing about my old

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

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

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

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:55.600
or i have to use two hands i guess before we turn this thing on

00:04:53.840 --> 00:04:59.520
dbrand demands i tell you more about them bell what do we what what what's

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:02.240
the big deal what does dbrand want everyone knows their skins are great you

00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:05.840
know we're gonna talk about something different though okay

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

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:16.560
insoles so you can join the six foot club sorry what dbrand is making these

00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:20.240
this is a joke at six foot club we deliver unique quality products that

00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:24.639
will give you a boost in height increasing your confidence and positively changing the world's

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:28.400
perception this is such a weird thing we can't

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:33.280
eliminate height bias but we can help you capitalize on it now you two can

00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:38.720
enjoy the benefits of being taller this is such a weird take we can't stop

00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:43.039
ageism but we can give you a mask so you look younger so

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:49.840
people hire you time defying height boost air pocket

00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:52.880
compression sizing for wide feet

00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:54.160
oh you're so tall now my shoes are too

00:05:52.880 --> 00:05:58.639
tight wow wow

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:02.479
that right there that could that could be the change that you need in your life

00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:07.199
because yeah this this is like where your eyes are it's scary

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:10.880
you're tall man i'm six i'm i'm six one

00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:14.479
dbrand doesn't only uh force us to have slightly awkward

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:18.720
conversations about immutable characteristics they also sell cool

00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:23.840
skins and cases and stuff so go to dbrand.com short Linus

00:06:22.080 --> 00:06:28.000
get it to see those

00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:33.280
so we just charged this thing and it went from zero to 61 in like 10

00:06:31.039 --> 00:06:38.000
minutes or something that seems crazy to me wait is it nothing set up

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

00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:45.680
like a whole list of warnings that you have to think about now because you have

00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:48.960
a foldable phone this stuff seems to be specific to the folding display when you

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

00:06:51.599 --> 00:06:56.720
phone isn't dust resistant exposure to small particles such as sand may cause

00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:01.039
damage and this like this is this still the

00:06:59.039 --> 00:07:05.759
thing with this form factor again like the benefit just seems so small compared

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

00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:14.479
noticed this i don't know how well you can see that but

00:07:11.039 --> 00:07:16.400
there's like this little exposed hinge

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

00:07:20.080 --> 00:07:25.440
that could take some skin off it couldn't but it feel it doesn't feel

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:30.800
comfortable it feels like it's in the way so this phone is water resistant

00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:32.400
ipx8 so immersion in any liquid other

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:36.720
than fresh water such as oh such as saltwater

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:42.400
alcohol can damage your phone uh you can immerse it in only water

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

00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:52.160
bits where dust can get in all right we're in as i suspected once

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

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

00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.560
there she is

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

00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:12.800
phone because to me there's greater utility in being able to use it

00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:15.759
one-handed some people want a big screen because that's more important to them

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

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

00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:27.440
wrong i'm just gonna how many asides have i

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

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

00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:41.680
comes in in bora purple and pink gold

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:44.640
and blue and and graphite there's more

00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:48.880
uh there's a bespoke edition for if you really want to just

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:55.600
impress people show off the gold gold frame yellow front white back and

00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:57.440
there's other combinations as well um

00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:00.880
okay one thing i am curious about is what this front screen can do because

00:08:59.839 --> 00:09:06.160
apparently they've made some improvements to the uh rear display here

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

00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:14.480
able to like swipe through things on oh there we go what

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

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

00:09:20.839 --> 00:09:26.399
recording open phone to continue what's the point

00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:31.600
of that interesting it has this the buttons ui

00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:34.720
by default i thought that the gesture ui is just like default across the board

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

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

00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:48.240
record audio and then oh delete recording discarded

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

00:09:49.920 --> 00:09:56.080
little screen um what else a timer that's great a

00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:59.440
calendar very useful you can unlock the phone while it's closed with your

00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:02.959
fingerprint that's pretty cool oh nice okay so i was

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

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

00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:15.839
gonna do that nice all right let's play a music thing

00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:19.519
and see if that shows up on the front screen playing okay we're playing music

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

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

00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:33.760
but if i lock

00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:35.360
put in my put in my pocket bring it up

00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:38.880
it should it should be the first thing that should be intuitive right these

00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:43.440
guys were asking oh can you answer calls while it's

00:10:41.040 --> 00:10:46.560
unfolded but at that point i mean first of all no probably not obviously like

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

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

00:10:53.040 --> 00:10:58.640
asking about all these things that you can do with it's when it's

00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:02.959
closed when you can just do that and take the call there are just so many

00:11:01.760 --> 00:11:07.600
questions in the world

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

00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:17.680
aware this one does as well i'm at 4k now this is 120 hertz display

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:22.959
dynamic ammo led whatever that means 2640x1080

00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:27.700
22x9 aspect ratio just like the last one so cinematic content is going to be good

00:11:25.920 --> 00:11:31.649
now we have max

00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:39.440
pretty good i refuse to do a more in-depth speaker

00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:43.760
comparison for this phone because if you're really

00:11:41.760 --> 00:11:47.200
concerned about the speaker quality on a phone that you're

00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:51.040
be honest for you're primarily getting so that you can use it as jewelry in

00:11:48.800 --> 00:11:55.920
your purse then you got your priorities messed up man back to the display it's

00:11:52.959 --> 00:12:00.800
HDR 10 plus certified and it's got 1200

00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:04.160
nits peak brightness for HDR you may have noticed me using the fingerprint

00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:07.440
sensor quite a bit here and i have noticed that it is impressively fast

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

00:12:09.680 --> 00:12:16.320
most part the specs of it are actually really competitive with other flagship phones i

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

00:12:18.959 --> 00:12:25.360
tier processor that you're going to see in most flagship phones coming out i

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

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

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

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

00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:49.040
mention when we were talking about the front screen here is the fact that

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

00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:59.680
they better have camera shortcut mapped to double click on the power button that

00:12:57.040 --> 00:13:04.880
should just be default disappointed just up oh

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:09.040
but it opened the inside that's stupid

00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:13.920
i'm so confused we got the phone unlocked on the home screen okay

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:17.600
close the phone double click

00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:20.959
it goes to camera never mind i guess it does work it

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

00:13:24.079 --> 00:13:29.839
with it hello nice to see you

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

00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:38.880
a foldable phone that was folded in half tap to take photo

00:13:36.880 --> 00:13:43.360
it looked like it was in portrait mode but it took a landscape photo oh right

00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:48.800
oops i have to do this double tap to show full preview

00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:52.240
oh there that's really dumb

00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:58.320
right it's a 1.9 inch super amoled uh 512 by

00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:02.959
260. i mean that looks remarkably sharp for

00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:06.720
like i mean it's a tiny screen screen what do you expect yeah

00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:10.399
just use the main camera for this don't use the top stubby

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

00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:23.120
gray colors than i would expect let's take one on the regular

00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:23.120
one on the ultra wide

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

00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:32.560
samsung photo app here because like you know they're kind of all the same they

00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:37.360
have their cool uh extra samsung features modes for your for your camera

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

00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:48.160
and then various you know slow motion modes with your 1080p and 720p etc

00:14:46.160 --> 00:14:53.199
as we said though uh one of the cool things about having a phone with a

00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:57.040
flexi form factor is the fact that you can use these kind of different camera

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

00:14:59.760 --> 00:15:05.279
up that much of the screen but if you bend it

00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:09.360
it shifts now so that the viewfinder's up here and you got your controls down

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

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

00:15:16.880 --> 00:15:23.120
which side the viewfinder is on by pressing this button so now this would

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:27.120
be maybe even better like this you know what i mean hook this around a

00:15:24.959 --> 00:15:32.720
corner oh yeah that's what i like to see

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

00:15:34.880 --> 00:15:42.959
kind of surprised that they put two uh 12 megapixel cameras on this when i

00:15:39.920 --> 00:15:45.920
believe that samsung's s series

00:15:42.959 --> 00:15:49.199
uh phones have much higher megapixels i think they have at least at least 50. i

00:15:47.680 --> 00:15:53.279
think they might have a 64 megapixel on one of those

00:15:50.800 --> 00:15:57.600
that makes this worse yeah no that makes more megapixels is stupid at that sensor

00:15:55.120 --> 00:16:00.800
size oh i know that like more megapixels doesn't necessarily

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

00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:08.160
zoom all the way in on something or whatever you know okay david

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

00:16:11.199 --> 00:16:17.279
i'm talking about you and because of the samsung phone they

00:16:14.800 --> 00:16:22.480
changed their policy recently uh in terms of Android os updates and security

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:27.519
updates so this one is going to get the four years of Android os updates

00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:31.440
that other samsung phones are getting as well as five years of security updates

00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:36.560
but samsung is leading the way

00:16:34.560 --> 00:16:41.120
in stupid form factors yes so this was my experience of a

00:16:38.800 --> 00:16:45.040
foldable phone i think that you know basically my preconceptions about the

00:16:43.040 --> 00:16:50.720
idea of a foldable phone were largely confirmed i still don't understand the

00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:53.120
utility of having like a regular phone

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:57.839
that folds in half so subscribe to techlinked and to ShortCircuit i guess

00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:01.519
love you so much watch another video now bye

00:17:01.920 --> 00:17:08.079
