The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip isn't perfect, but Samsung has nailed the foldable form factor, making it a joy to use

The Galaxy Z Flip is the first foldable phone that I really think you should buy - if you can afford it. It's not perfect - the camera, battery, and fingerprint sensor all have their flaws - but Samsung has nailed the form factor, making the Z Flip a joy to use.
