How Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip failed me without actually breaking

Summary
The Galaxy Z Flip is a foldable smartphone created by Samsung, and while it has some distinctive features, there are also numerous drawbacks to owning the device, according to Sean Hollister from The Verge.
For example, the phone’s battery life has degraded significantly over time since its last software update, causing it to wake the owner up at night-time due to a lack of charging capacity.
Additionally, Hollister notes that Samsung has not fully embraced the potential of the Flip, as its outer screen is largely pointless and awkward to use, forcing owners to mostly open the phone each time they want to use it.
The Galaxy Z Flip also doesn’t have a one-handed way to open it and no longer blocks notification sounds even when in sleep or do-not-disturb mode.
However, the only appealing features of the phone are its pocket-fitting size and the fun of folding it.
Hollister decided to switch to a regular phone instead, the Galaxy S25, which has better battery life and a camera of better quality.
