About

Mobile technology videos for the discerning gadget enthusiast, brought to you by Michael Fisher. My name is Michael Fisher. I’m a writer, sailor, podcaster and recovering actor whose childhood obsession with science fiction never quite faded. A quarter-century later, the technology that I coveted as a kid – from folding-screen phones to wearable tech – is woven into the fabric of everyday life. I’ve spent the past 15 years making videos that strive to uncover the truth of these products through detailed reviews. Welcome to MrMobile!

Not one to rest on its laurels, Samsung recently updated the Galaxy Z Flip with 5G, new silicon … and a new paint job whose close resemblance to that of a 24th century tricorder has absolutely nothing to do with me dropping 1500 strips of latinum on it. ;) I’ve carried the Galaxy Z Flip 5G for about a week and the LTE-equipped Galaxy Z Flip for six months … so on this episode of Into The Fold we’ll answer the twin questions of how well it’s aged ... and how it became the “Goldilocks foldable.” [SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp... [ABOUT INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 4: SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP LONG-TERM REVIEW / GALAXY Z FLIP 5G REVIEW] This is the fourth in a series of episodes exploring the many facets of life on a folding screen. From the best foldable phones of 2020 to the bleeding-edge world of folding-screen laptops, Into The Fold is MrMobile’s showcase for the most exciting movement in mobile technology since 2007! Episode 4, a long-term review of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip for 2020, was produced following six months with a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip retail unit, and one week with a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G retail unit, each purchased by MrMobile/Future plc. Samsung did not pay a fee or otherwise offer compensation in exchange for this coverage, nor did Samsung preview or approve this content before publication.
