The FlexCam Helps You Keep In Frame
Having an exterior screen also means the phone has some fun use-cases. You can hold it like a camcorder and use the FlexCam option to show what you’re seeing on the exterior screen. You can also set it up on a table and know for certain you’re in frame when taking finicky group shots.
Unfortunately, the Flip’s twin camera array does lag far behind other phones you can get for $1,000. The rear dual sensors include a 12MP ultra-wide and a 12MP wide-angle. It’s good enough for the average selfie, but in my limited time with photo sessions I haven’t taken anything near as quality as on my previous high end Google Pixels or iPhones. There’s also a 10MP front selfie camera, but since you can get better quality selfies with the rear array the only use you’ll get out of it is for video calls. Essentially, the trade off with the Flip 4’s cameras is versatility over overt quality.
