I’ve written before about how theSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, what we consider to be thebest foldable phonefor most people, hassurprised me since I started using it.

But I’ve just discovered another gloriously retro feature it delivers, and one that as a one-time owner of theoriginalflip phone, the Motorola Razr, I’m just in love with right now.

That feature is the ability to open the phone to answer a call, as well as close the phone to end a call.

Suddenly, it’s like I’m back in the early 2000s again and the coolest cat on the block, with my ability to snap open and talk, as well as snap close to shut off the noise – before then proceeding to play more Snake for hours on end.

Considering a Galaxy Z Flip 4 or already own one and want to know how to turn on this cool-as-heck feature? I’ll show you how now.
