The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is a totally normal phone with one weird folding trick. Now that it’s crossed that barrier, why does it exist? Samsung wants the answer to be fashion, but in this return to the Processor video series, Dieter Bohn looks closer at what it means when phones try to be fashion.

#Flip #fashion
Have you ever had a gadget or piece of tech that you treated as a fashion accessory?
I feel like Semiotics is the concept you’re looking for here.
Extremely boring video
Take me to Bohn Town!
These folding phones are becoming much much better
Don’t care about the phone but can wait to hear what dieter has to say about it👍
Yo what is the song playing in the background around 2:00 ???
Are you okay you look very tiered.
I thought this would a z flip 3 review :}
Product Marketing 101 ft. Dieter
You look like you haven’t gotten any sleep in days and the light is blinding you.
It’s a Samsung it’s a green bubble!! Why is this a big deal in USA treating people who use Android phone like a 2nd class poor citizens ?
Due to marketing, brand is
HUGE in comparison to materials quality and function in almost anything other than tech.
If that edge of rationality gives way in tech, and fashion comes to outweigh function, we’re screwed.
Who wears a vest?
Wouldn’t cars be a better analogy? They get marginally better every year but barely. they are more about a class statement then fashion. There is a look, style, brand choice and so on but in the end is mostly how much can you afford to spend on it.
Was wondering why you were wearing the vest
This is actually sad.
Tech is meant to innovate and make you feel it is magic. Wtf is happening, fashion, colours? These are what matter now? Tech should be pushed to the next level AT ALL TIMES. Do you know how Apple was able to beat the likes of Nokia and Blackberry with the iPhone? They were more concerned with “fashion”. Let’s just do a new face cover, new colour and ooo shinnier screen..and look what happened
Black Widow would approve of the vest!
Nice review Verge Crew!
The best video to explain the Z Flip 3, it’s a fashion statement more than the technology it offers. People buy it because it looks cooler and fashionable to most of the phone.
Was this one take? Well done Dieter. Even if it was 2 or 3 takes, you are an incredible speaker and presenter.
What does it mean that phones are fashion? erm… nothing
This is a very Apple like review. And I am loving it !!
OK, Dieter convinced me. Where can i get the vest?
“It’s a samsung, it’s a green bubble…”
It’s both a stylish and practical phone. To me the biggest selling point would be that it can stand up on its own to use the camera for yourself without an accessory.
The stupidest things samsung ever made
Dieter got us thinking about fashion on a phone review. He’s good.
Burp* But is it fashion?
1) get some sleep 😴 💤
2) you’re trying too hard with the “fashion”
What is this video? 🤔
It’s like he’s writing his college thesis. I love it
To treat it as a fashion accessory you need big fashion houses creating accesories for it. Little hint: They only make for iPhones and it took a while for them to also make for the Max versions. Right now the only casemaker available for this phone is casetify.
I literally bought a t‑shirt after watching this! Thx Dieter
great explanation
