Running Android 11, it's a big, beautiful 6.7" screen, but you can fold it in half and still have a tiny notifications and time screen.

This is the Samsung flip phone. Let's see what's in the box
0:10
Dave Taylor here and I'm checking out this. This is the Samsung Galaxy Z flip three 5g smartphone. And it's pretty cool
0:18
Yeah, kind of 1999 with flip phones. But this is such better
0:22
technology as you would expect, right? So when open, it has a
0:26
6.7 inch AMOLED 1080 by 2640 display screen, it's big, bright, beautiful, I'll show you that in a second. When you close
0:35
it, you have a 1.9 inch AMOLED cover screen. And that shows you
0:40
time notifications, other useful information. Both of them are Gorilla Glass Victus. And it's also IPX eight water resistant
0:49
IPX eight is pretty good. This means that you could drop it in
0:53
five feet of water, take 30 minutes to rescue it. And once
0:57
it's dry, it'll work just fine. That means it's going to do just fine if you're in the kitchen and you drop it in the sink or
1:03
other similar sort of circumstances. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon SM 8350 888 octa core with an Adreno 6600
1:15
GPU. So not screaming fast, but certainly fast enough to work just fine. That gives you Android 11 and Samsung's one UI
1:24
3.1.1 as in the box, there might be newer versions soon enough
1:30
And camera wise, the front selfie camera is a 10 megapixel f 2.4. And the rear cameras are a 12 megapixel f 1.8 wide, and a
1:41
12 megapixel f 2.2 ultra wide. So there are more specs, I have
1:46
more data for you. But let's go ahead and open this thing, right. So here's the box. You can see that's pretty thin, it
1:53
would not be a big leap to guess that there might be some things missing. So the unboxing might be just as much about
2:00
what's not in the box as what's in the box. But let's find out
2:04
Now, I've already opened it and set up the phone because I couldn't resist. So here you have the phone, it is unfolded
2:11
This is the cream color. And I will just put everything else
2:17
aside and let's just wake this thing up. And you can see that's
2:21
a beautiful screen. But if I fold it closed, then here we have
2:27
time and notifications on the bottom. So cool. Look at the size of this folded phone. This is crazy. So this is 3.4 inches
2:37
by 2.8 inches by point six three inches thick. If I open it up
2:43
then I have a phone and you can see here's that beautiful six
2:47
point seven inch screen. And it's 6.5 inches by 2.8 inches by point two seven inches thick. This is a gorgeous piece of
2:57
engineering. This is an amazing piece of technology. eight giga RAM, you can get it in 128 or 256 gig of ROM. And let's see
3:07
the hinge as you open the hinge, the word Samsung appears. And
3:12
let me give you a quick tour of the edges. But I'll do it from a folded up position because that's more interesting. So
3:18
here's the top and bottom. The top as you can see really doesn't give you much. I think that's just a microphone hole
3:24
And then the bottom has two microphone holes, USB C for charging, and one cut out for the speakers. What is not
3:33
included here is 3.5 millimeter audio jack. I know plenty of you
3:37
are like all Bluetooth all the time. I like the option. I like to have the audio jack, because in some situations, that's what
3:44
I prefer. Okay, so on the right hand side, you can see volume up
3:49
and down and the power switch. That's pretty standard. On the left hand side, you can see the SIM slot. And then there's
3:56
another slot there that suspiciously looks like it could be for an SD card or micro SD or something like that. But it's
4:04
not actually implemented. There's no way to open it. So I think that this was something where maybe the next generation
4:11
will just suddenly have that work. So they've already engineered it in. But this is not functional. This does not
4:17
support external cards. So let me show you the hinge. Here's just the hinge view. And then here's a view with the hinge
4:25
like 45% open just so you can see how this works. It's really
4:30
pretty impressive. Now, what else is in the box. So we have this gorgeous phone and I will unlock it and I have it actually
4:37
set up so I can unlock with my face and you can just see this
4:41
is beautiful. This is a beautiful darn phone. So I have the phone then a SIM card. AT&T sent me the phone to check out
4:50
so they sent me a SIM card that was super handy, super easy to put in. And then you have this which usually is just documents
4:58
and that's it. That's all we got in the box. It is empty otherwise. So you have the phone. I have my SIM card, you
5:04
probably won't get a SIM card and you get this box. Now on the back is a SIM removal tool. But that leads to the obvious
5:10
question. Well, what's in this envelope? So let's see. All right. Well, the first thing you notice is that it does come
5:19
with a charging cable. So that's USB-C to USB-C. But what's not
5:24
in the box is there's not actually a charging unit that you plug into the wall. Now Samsung's logic at this point is
5:31
you already have like 50 of these or you can plug it into your computer or something. And I agree with them. I don't think
5:37
that's a big deal. But some people do get a little miffed about this where they're like, if you're sending me this, why
5:42
aren't you also sending me the other part so that I can actually charge my phone. So it's up to you whether that's
5:49
something you really are upset about. I will tell you that for under $10, you can buy a very nice 15 or 20 watt little tiny
5:56
charging cube this could plug into and then your problems are solved. Or you can just plug this into your computer or some
6:03
other device and you're good. Now, that's it. That's all that's in the box. Now, there is the information AT&T personal
6:12
cloud, Samsung transfer, what's important. And then there's terms and conditions. Please read through that closely
6:20
because I didn't. So someone has to. AT&T 5G information. Yes, this is a 5G phone, it will work on 5G networks, and it will
6:29
rock them. And then there's the AT&T quick start guide. That's everything in the box. So really, these boxes is getting
6:37
simpler and simpler because it's all about the device. It's all about this beautiful piece of engineering. And then as little
6:45
else as they could possibly put in the box. I mean, someday, I think it'll just be this and you won't even have charging cables
6:51
or anything. But I don't know at that point, people might get even more upset. But check this out. That is one cool looking
6:58
phone. And then like I said, if I open it, as soon as that
7:02
screen comes on, it's just kind of an amazing thing that the
7:06
screen is this flexible that you can actually do this. And it's
7:11
going to continue to work. So will it be looking great in five
7:14
years? I don't know, we're gonna have to have five years of experience with these sort of devices to find out. But
7:20
meanwhile, the only thing left to talk about is the price. And before I get to the price, I'm going to ask if you could
7:26
subscribe to my channel, just a click or a tap on that little subscribe button and we're connected really appreciate
7:32
that. Leave a comment. Tell me what else you're excited about. I will tell you I am going to do a full review. I'm going to
7:38
take photos and video and really give you even more specs and
7:42
details and close ups and show you what this thing can do. I
7:46
know one thing I'm really curious about is that there's a selfie mode where you open it halfway at 90 degrees. And then
7:52
you can take selfies. What a great idea, right? Something that I wish my iPhone could do Apple step it up dudes. All
8:00
right, so this is the Samsung Galaxy Z flip three 5g smartphone and it comes in cream this color, phantom black
8:11
green, lavender, gray, white and pink. Those last three colors are online order only. And it's $999.99 at att.com or
8:22
samsung.com. And if you go through AT&T, they have a payment plan. And you can get this phone and have this in your
8:29
hands for 2778 a month for three years. So you can do it
8:34
by payment plan, you can just buy it flat out at $1,000. It is
8:39
in the ballpark for really nice big screen phones. And of course, it folds. How awesome is that? I will tell you my
8:48
Motorola flip phone never had any technology like this. But that was a long time ago. So this is entirely reasonable. I'm
8:55
really psyched. I'm gonna go have fun and play with this phone. So I'll have to catch you in my next video
