it's been 2 months with my Z Flip 7 and I loooooooove my phone, when I tell yall I literally don't miss my iPhone 😭 like who the hell even is she??
First of all I LOVE flipping my phone closed when I hang up 🤣🤣 and if I'm being real that was the main reason I was interested in the new age flip phones in general. My camera on my iPhone 13 Pro Max was broken and I needed it to either be fixed or replaced, and since I was getting bored of iPhones in general, I decided to switch the moment I found out flip phones exist. Clearly not a huge tech geek, but I did my research and settled for the Samsung Z Flips over the Motorola razrs. I literally woke up on launch day and went straight to T-Mobile and I'm in love 😍 Flip phones are pretty unique right now imo, and I miss when everyone had different phones back in the 2000s, everyone had more personality and it showed. But yeah... I love how they reintroduced the idea of flip phones with foldable touch screens 😳 For someone to even think about that type of technology and make it into reality is so crazy to me cause I would have never thought. And I'm kind of upset I wasn't hipp to flip phones sooner 😭
Things I Love:
Customization takes no time at all, my keyboard is pink, my messages are pink, nobody can click "send text anyway" when you're on Do Not Disturb. I don't have to go through the hassle of reverse Google image searching when trying to find something I only have a picture of.
I can see myself on the cover screen when somebody's taking pictures of me. So I have an idea of how the picture will come out and can guide them on the spot.
And the way the emojis are animated in text messages OMG SOOO CUTE 😍 I don't mind the way the emojis look at all either, I actually find them way cuter than iPhone's emojis. Oh and I love the gifs and stickers they recommend after sending a certain text, ugh the cutest. I messed around with the size of the keyboard a little bit and appreciated that so much because with the phone being a different size than I'm used to, the keyboard took me a while to get comfortable with and changing the keyboard size helped.
I thought I was gonna be bummed about not being able to FaceTime BUT everyone I was always FaceTiming already has Discord or WhatsApp. Discord's screenshare feature is so smooth, it's perfect no complaints. And also I have an iPad and MacBook if it's ever that serious 🤣
Things I hate:
Texting people that don't gave RCS enabled. When they send me videos it looks terrible and I'm sure its the same vice versa too 🤣 that only ever happens if I'm texting someone with an iPhone that doesn't have RCS enabled, or doesn't have the option to so it sounds like an iPhone problem to me 😬
What's your thoughts?? Are you Team Z Flip or Team Razr? Or are you Team (insert phone here) 🤔
Spending two months with the Samsung Z Flip 7 reveals just how revolutionary foldable phones can be, blending modern tech with nostalgic charm. Many users are drawn to the satisfying flip action when ending calls, reminiscent of early 2000s flip phones, but enhanced now through cutting-edge foldable touchscreens. The Z Flip 7 uniquely combines style and functionality, allowing easy customization like adjusting keyboard size and colors, which helps users transition from traditional phones smoothly. One of the standout features is the cover screen functionality. Unlike many smartphones that rely solely on their main displays, the Z Flip 7 allows users to quickly check notifications or even see themselves when taking photos, enabling better framing and candid shots without needing the larger screen. Messaging is another area where the Z Flip 7 shines. Animated emojis and suggested gifs bring more personality to conversations, giving users a fresh, fun communication experience. However, users should be aware of current limitations when texting people without RCS enabled, especially those on iPhones. Such messages, including videos, may appear degraded due to cross-platform differences. While this is not unique to Samsung or foldable devices, it remains a consideration in mixed-device communications. Many who switch to the Z Flip 7 find that alternative apps like Discord or WhatsApp easily replace FaceTime for video calls, maintaining seamless connectivity. Additionally, owning multiple devices like an iPad or MacBook can complement the foldable phone experience for serious video calls or multitasking. Overall, the Z Flip 7 revives a unique phone form factor with modern enhancements, offering a blend of personalization, nostalgia, and innovative technology. Enthusiasts looking for a distinct, stylish device with practical features should consider foldable phones as a fresh alternative to mainstream smartphones. Whether you're Team Z Flip, Team Razr, or exploring your options, the foldable phone market is evolving, making this a dynamic time to experience new mobile tech.
This is the exact phone I’m looking to switch to. I miss when my phone displayed my personality. iPhone is nice but it’s so corporate. I want fun and customizable. And i honestly don’t think the camera is that bad! It looks pretty decent.
