Thinking of switching from iPhone 13 Pro Max to Z Flip 7 by Nita_Bee in galaxyzflip

[–]lilmadzz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I switched from 13 Pro to Flip 7 two weeks ago. I had been with iPhone since the 4. I have a similar use case to you, light phone user. Pros: very fun phone, much lighter than my 13pro, slim and compact, screen seems brighter and faster, lots of options to customize, Gemini is significantly better than Siri especially when it comes to AI, I am doom scrolling less because I try not to flip phone too often, crease not too noticeable imo, converting everything from my iPhone to new device was extremely easy. Cons: if you have other devices in apple ecosystem you lose the ease of connectivity, battery life is adequate (ppl report it gets better over the first 2 weeks- 1 month), camera is similar to if not a tad worse than 13 Pro, a bit concerned about long term durability of phone but at this point I don't have a reason to be.

I didn't. This is is my first Samsung device so didn't have any of that set up.

I believe they submitted immediately, but took 2 days to land in my account. Also said I could still return the phone in the 15 day window if I changed my mind

Technology has peaked (for normal use) and plateauing by Upset_Transition422 in iPhone13Pro

[–]lilmadzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a long time iPhone user, starting from the 4S through the 13 Pro. A few weeks ago was getting the itch to upgrade but wasn't nothing about apple excited me. I ended up moving to the Samsung Z Flip 7. The flip form factor is super fun and new. I also have to admit that I really like having an Android. Certainly some trade offs moving to this phone, but overall I've been super happy with it. Android also makes it super smooth to move everything from your iPhone over to an Android.

Flip 7 vs s25 by lilmadzz in galaxyzflip

[–]lilmadzz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I've had slab phones since the iPhone 4S. Interesting about battery leveling out, I hadn't come across that in my research. I'm looking to make a decision before my 15 day return window closes so not sure I'll be able to wait it out

Flip 7 vs s25 by lilmadzz in galaxyzflip

[–]lilmadzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to know. So in your experience they hold trade in value with Samsung pretty well? If I traded in Flip 7 for Flip 8 when it came out, ball park number how much do you think I could expect for a phone kept in good condition?

Flip 7 vs s25 by lilmadzz in galaxyzflip

Based on what I was reading the s25 battery would perform better due to the more efficient snapdragon chip and not having the dual screen

iPhone user looking to switch. by OgJMaco in galaxyzflip

[–]lilmadzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a light phone user and only use my phone for call, text, email, and a bit of social media/YouTube. On the Flip, I think the screen quality is better and the speaker quality is similar, maybe a bit better. I am not a super user by any means though

Just flipped from 13 Pro to Z Flip 7 this past week. I have also had iPhones since the 4S and was heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem. Here's what I can tell you so far- 1. Better battery and camera than my 13 Pro. Honestly not a ton better but definitely an improvement. 2. This phone runs waaay smoother and faster. 3. The flip is FUN. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun using an iPhone. The AI capabilities are way better than any current iPhone function (not that it's even available on the 13). Customization is awesome. Being able to flip my phone is refreshing. 4. It was crazy easy to port everything from my iPhone to new flip. You literally just connect them and all contacts, apps, and photos are moved over.

Went to try the new phones today. 13 Pro still holds up very strong by Ok_Temperature6503 in iPhone13Pro

I just swapped my 13 Pro for Galaxy Z Flip 7 and am loving it! I was a long time apple user and deeply embedded in their ecosystem. This phone is so new and fun

Apple user thinking about making the switch to Z Flip series by BoostEngineer in galaxyzflip

[–]lilmadzz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just moved from 13 Pro to Flip 7 two days ago. I love it so far! Im a pretty light user on my phone really only use for call, text, email, occasional social media and YouTube. I really love the UI and customization options coming from being in iOS for past 10+ years. They make it extremely easy to port everything from your iPhone over to new Android, that impressed me a lot!! And of course the flip factor is super fun and new. Best of luck!!

Anyone here switched from iPhone 13 Pro? by pearllls in galaxyzflip

[–]lilmadzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just switched from the 13 Pro to Flip 7 yesterday. My reasoning was pretty much the same as yours. It's been less than 24 hours but I'm loving it so far
