Now that more and more people are jumping onto the short-form video and vlogging bandwagon, it’s no surprise to see smartphones getting better camera systems to keep up with the demand. There’s no longer a need to get expensive camcorders and lug unwieldy tripods around if you want to share your day with the world – now, all you need is a smartphone.
But even amongst smartphones, there’s competition. A regular bar smartphone can’t really stand on its own without a tripod, and holding up a phone for long periods of time really puts a strain on the wrists and shoulders. Wouldn’t it be great if your smartphone could stand on its own…
Well, guess what? The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 can do exactly that! From travelling right up to post-production, here’s why the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 is a superior smartphone for vloggers.
1. Compact and lightweight
Limited baggage space? Small pockets? Don’t want to carry a huge bag?
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 can slip right into the smallest of pockets, as it folds down a small 71.9mm x 84.9mm square that’s not only easy to hold in one hand, but also makes it convenient for those who like to travel light.
2. Hands-free shooting
This is a phone that can stand up for itself – literally.
When half-opened in an L-shape, the Galaxy Z Flip4 can sit comfortably on a flat surface without wobbling. There are hundreds of ways you can use this to your vlogging advantage – starting with hands-free shooting!
In FlexCam mode, the Camera app’s layout rearranges itself so that the image preview is on the top half while the camera controls are on the bottom. You can even switch it around if you like, putting the preview at the bottom and controls at the top – the phone is your oyster.
The 1.9” Cover Screen isn’t just there for aesthetic purposes either. It can act as an extra Viewfinder, so that you can preview your video while you take videos of yourself using the rear cameras!
Plus, you can hold up the Galaxy Z Flip4 like a traditional camcorder as you film, with all the controls within reach of your thumb. It’s not completely hands-free, but it’s certainly much easier and more convenient, especially for smaller hands!
3. Editing
Got enough footage? Now you need to edit them so that you can tell your story the way you want it to be told. But, dang it, you didn’t bring your laptop with you because it’s too heavy.
The Galaxy Z Flip4 has a Video Editor built right into the Gallery, so you can edit your vlog right where you are. Trim, cut, crop, add filters, and rearrange your footage however you like. You can even add music and title text to your vlog!
As far as camera phones go, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 is certainly unique, and not just in its form factor. Samsung’s fourth-generation foldable gives you plenty of ways to up your vlogging game, whether you’re just starting out or already an established vlogger. Apart from the camera, the Galaxy Z Flip4 also brings durability and portability to the table, making it one of the best phones to shoot vlogs with.
