Thoughts on the Galaxy Z Flip Flex Mode from someone who hasn’t used it

I think it’s fair to say that I’m one of the biggest Galaxy Z Flip supporters on the SamMobile team. It might be due to nostalgia for the clamshell design, or the simple fact that the Z Flip proves flexible display technology to be viable; or both.
