Switched from Apple to the flip and I'll never go back. You can customize everything and make it suit your personality. Camera is good. Os is easy to use.
I knew trading my S23 Ultra would be a step down, but this phone is a complete disappointment. It has a horrible lag problem it overheats regularly with any combination of apps, charging or not charging. The landscape videos have 2 large black bars on either side. And yes I know why, it just wasn't mentioned in any reviews.Odd. You can see a visible crease and you do feel the hinge. If it's your first Flip it takes some getting used to. The one feature that does standout is the fingerprint sensor on the side button. That's the plus for me. I've had Samsung phones since the S3 including the note 4 the note 7 for a short time, S21 and an S23 Ultra, all great phones, well you know what happened to the note 7. They were all great phones until now. This is my experience with this phone, yours maybe different. For me it's a not recommended. What really amazes me is they knew this when they offered it for sale.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
