Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3
What does Jen say about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3?
The Galaxy Z Flip3 wins Jen over with a sturdy frame, a lovely display, a stable Flex mode and high speed. Battery life and having to open it with two hands are big minus points for her. You pay for the coolness and innovation factor.
Pros
- Sturdy aluminum frame, survived a fall onto tiles almost without damage
- Larger outer display than on the predecessor, usable as a photo preview
- High-quality inner display, the crease stops being noticeable after a few days
- Stable Flex mode, the display holds in any position
- Very fast, 120 Hz display, wireless charging
- Fits into any pants pocket or handbag when closed
Cons
- Battery life: empty by 2 p.m. at first, later lasting until about 10 p.m.
- Can't be opened with one hand because the Flex mode holds so firmly
- Very slippery without a case, it threatens to slip out of your hand
- Camera is solid, but far from the Galaxy S21 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4
What does Jen say about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4?
For Jen, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is a lovely all-round package with good performance, a good camera and the flip effect. At €1,099 it is worth it mainly because of the innovative folding concept.
Pros
- Flipping and folding, low weight of 187 g
- 6.7-inch AMOLED display with solid stereo speakers
- Battery much better than on the Z Flip 3 and reverse wireless charging
- Split screen and built-in stand
- Reliable fingerprint sensor in the power button
Cons
- Smooth, slippery back with visible fingerprints on the green Bespoke Edition
- Battery is still not great
- Cover display is too small and has too few functions
- The hinge is so firm that you can hardly open the device one-handed
