In one recording, Daniel unboxed and tested a GoPro HERO13 Black for live streaming, encountered a missing-SD-card blocker for setup, and ultimately returned the camera to Amazon rather than buy a card, alongside a clarification about a prior stream's anger being due to chat rather than food.

In a second recording, Daniel reviewed the Samsung Flip 7 (upgraded from a Flip 4, bought near release for £950 via Prime Day discount), covering its external display software limitations, camera performance, ergonomics, and pricing versus competing flagships, concluding the phone can't be universally recommended despite the appeal of its flip form factor.

GoPro HERO13 packaging, accessories, build versus GoPro 7, and SD card requirements for setup and prior devices given away.

Returning the GoPro to Amazon and clarifying an earlier stream-anger explanation.

Samsung Flip 7 hardware, pricing, cover-display software quirks, camera specs, and comparisons to other flagship phones.

Daniel unboxed a newly purchased GoPro HERO13 Black intended for live streaming, expressing frustration with the packaging, the camera's size compared to the GoPro 7, and the design of the battery door and charging port, and initially inserted the battery backwards while testing it.

Unable to find a micro SD card and told that the GoPro 13 requires one to complete setup, updates, and core functions even for live streaming, Daniel repacked and returned the camera to Amazon rather than buy a card.

Daniel clarified that prior on-stream anger was caused by chat derailment rather than by German food, as previously suggested.

Daniel upgraded from a Samsung Flip 4 to the Flip 7, purchased around the phone's release date for £950 using a 10% Prime Day discount off the standard £1,050 price, and reviewed its hardware, display, camera, and pricing.

Daniel found the Flip 7's external display natively supports only about five apps (e.g., YouTube, Netflix), requires the third-party MultiStar app for other software, lacks an auto-rotate toggle, and shows apps in awkward, letterboxed, or stretched layouts.

Daniel described the Flip 7 camera system as having a 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor, grainy 10x digital zoom, and an overly sharp 50-megapixel main camera he disliked for emphasizing skin flaws.

Daniel noted the Flip 7's one-handed ergonomics are hampered by top-heavy balance and length, and that alternatives like the Fold 7 or S25 Ultra offer stronger specs or screen area, leaving the flip form factor as the main reason to buy it.

Unclear whether Daniel had an available SD card inside a phone or other previous devices.

Unclear whether the seller or return processor would notice if the USB cable was kept instead of returned with the GoPro.
