What 4 critics said
Highest score first · all converted to 0–100- 80The Verge
Though hardware barely changes, the cover screen now behaves much more like a normal phone, and the reviewer enjoys the form factor and its limits, finding it satisfying and nearly compromise-free when open.

Not a game-changer, but the slimmer, lighter Flip performs better, lasts longer and gives much more control of the outer screen; a higher price and so-so cameras temper the praise.

A slimmer phone with strong performance and a much better cover screen, but small upgrades do not justify the $100 price rise over the Flip 7; worth buying only on discount.

Still a refined clamshell with strong performance and a brighter screen, but a price hike for baby-step changes in battery, charging and cameras makes it feel complacent next to rivals.
