The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip may be the best foldable smartphone made to date.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

Buy the Galaxy Z Flip if you want something different, but only if you can stomach the uncertainty surrounding its durability. You might get three years of problem-free use out of it, but then you might not.

I am convinced that the Galaxy Z Flip is the best foldable phone yet with the best performance as well. And therefore, if you are planning on buying one just pull the trigger eyes closed. This is most definitely a better foldable phone overall compared to the Moto Razr.

... if you just want a phone that ticks all boxes and also has one trick up its sleeve, the Galaxy Z Flip unfolds itself seeking your attention. This is for me a no-nonsense phone that just works. This is one of the best Android devices you can own at the moment.

The Galaxy Z Flip is a head-turner, one that's nothing like you've seen before. Hold it in your palm and it won't only make you feel special, but will also give you the thrill of using a device that's truly the first of its kind -- a thrill that's you won't even get out of the much expensive Galaxy Fold or the Moto Razr.

If you don't care about the foldable display risks or paying an insane amount of money, the Z Flip is the best foldable phone that exists today.

The Galaxy Z Flip takes a modern smartphone shape, and lets you fold it in half. It features a folding glass cover/display, a decent camera, flagship specs and decent battery life. There are compromises aplenty, namely in price and potential screen fragility, but this foldable gets closer than any prior to being a well-rounded phone.

The Galaxy Z Flip's flip phone design is a lot more appealing than the book-like approach of the Galaxy Fold. If the cameras work as promised, this could be one appealing foldable device.

Forbes | Patrick Moorhead

Currently, there is not a device on the market like Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip. Yes, there is the Razr but it has low specs, and the durability, in my opinion, is too low for anything more than a feature phone.

Gizmodo UK | Sam Rutherford

Honestly, the biggest compliment I can give the Z Flip is that it feels a lot like a traditional smartphone, but with the ability to bend the screen in half and end calls by slamming the phone shut, which is really goddamn satisfying.

Pocket-lint | Chris Hall

For many people, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip will meet their requirements in battery, camera and power, providing something unique that looks great; but for the gamers, enthusiasts and power users, the Galaxy Z Flip is probably a compromise might not want to make.

The Galaxy Z Flip is the best foldable phone I've ever used.

Engadget | Chris Velazco

At the end of it all, you want to ditch your current phone for something ambitious and exciting, the Galaxy Z Flip is your best, most elegant option. All I ask is that you remember this: Buying one doesn't just mean you're getting a new phone. It also means you're rolling the dice.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is a terrible phone. Behind the flashy, foldable design stands an underwhelming phone that solves one problem but creates ten more.

PC Mag | Sascha Segan

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is the first folding phone to really work, but it's still a costly and potentially fragile fashion object rather than a mainstream hit.

The Verge | Dieter Bohn

At the end of the day, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is still an expensive curiosity that you shouldn't buy. But it is a sign that something far less curious and far more normal is actually possible.
