The Galaxy Z Flip 4 has been an absolute joy to use, or rather, not to use. See, the Z Flip 4 from Samsung has become the perfect digital wellness device for me in that it makes me pick it up and use it less. While that sounds odd, that’s far from a bad thing

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is one step closer to perfecting the foldable formula, and it’s a device I enjoyed enough to make it my personal smartphone. But every year, I end up switching to a Samsung phone and missing elements from my usual Google Pixel.

I’ve been an avid fan of foldables since I first laid my hands on one, and three months into using Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 3, there’s one piece of the experience I keep coming back to.

I’ve been enamored by foldable smartphones ever since Samsung launched its original Galaxy Fold, but there’s no denying this technology is in its early days.

I’ve been happily using the Galaxy Z Fold 2 since it launched, and it being my daily driver smartphone, I’ve gotten to know it pretty well in that time. There’s one issue that’s plagued me the entire time, though: There’s not a single truly good case option for the Galaxy Z Fold 2.

Smartphones have gotten boring. That’s probably something you’ve heard over the past several years, and to an extent, it’s true. Our mobile devices have gotten so good that the improvements year over year are becoming harder to recognize. That’s why foldables like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 are so exciting, and two months later, I’m still in the “honeymoon phase” with my own device. Why? Let’s take a look.

Probably against my better judgment, I pulled the trigger a few weeks ago on a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2. The $2,000 foldable is the first one I’ve ever used for more than a few minutes, and just a day in, it’s a device I’m already in love with. Here are a few first impressions on the Galaxy Z Fold 2.
