That may sound like a small change, but the results are transformative. The only real change from the Flip 3 is to the main camera, which features a new, larger image sensor, capable of catching more light. There’s no telephoto option at all here, which is arguably its biggest weakness – though it would be remiss of me not to point out that neither the Pixel 6 or iPhone 13 feature a telephoto either. There are three cameras here: a pair of 12Mp rear cameras (one main, one ultrawide) and a 10Mp selfie camera in a punch-hole on the inner display. Samsung hasn’t done as much to fix these, but has shored up the weakest point and certainly made this set-up stronger than it used to be. If the battery was the Flip 3’s biggest flaw, the cameras were a close second. Decent selfie camera – or use the main lens.
It helps that Qi wireless charging is also available – this is even slower, but has an obvious convenience factor. That’s slow compared to super-fast charging phones, but in reality is probably nippy enough for most people. I tried charging the phone with two different third-party chargers, restoring 36% of battery in half an hour with one, and 48% of battery in the same time with the other. The phone can now charge at up to 25W – up from 15W last year – but remember that Samsung doesn’t include a charger in the box.
I only struggled once, on a day visiting Kew’s Royal Botanical Gardens, when the phone dropped to single digits around 9pm, but only after hours of photos, filming, and social media, which any phone would struggle with.Ĭharging has been improved too, though still lags a little in the market. I’ve been using the phone for almost two weeks, and most days go to bed with 30-40% charge left in the phone – a pretty comfortable buffer.
