@@molluskwater with the flip you protect the main screen and it occupies less space in the pocket. It's very comfy. It's also better for people who a looking for digital minimalism and a healthy lifestyle so they don't look that much at the screen.
I know the fold is made for productivity and has a better camera. But I just can't get enough of my Flip 4. So I think I'm going for the Flip 6 this year or the next.
Wasn't even 5 min into the event and bought the Z-fold 6 1-TB Samsung exclusive crafted black... really liking the carbon looking design on the exclusive black, instead of it just being a plain black. I have to find a clear case to show it off now.
@CastroJordan I hadn't seen what color the spine is on the white version. (Didn't see a image on samsung) I would of figured it was white also. Since every other phone color has matching color spine... but yeah I ordered the whole Samsung line-up also this year zf6 cf, titanium grey ultra. Black ring, silver buds 3 pro, spent way to much this year. Just glad for trade-ins! Hate that have do seperate orders to really do trade-ins right though
Sure with clear case, i pre-ordered mine. Its on the way.. so i bought 2 cases.. clear and grey colors with S-Pen attachment.. i got the 516GB (crafted black)) im a more designer noob lets say.
@Frenojan007rr I always run cases myself. But something about the crafted black made me have to own it. Lol. I'm still trying to find the perfect clear case to show it off. But yeah, I ordered Grey S pen case and grey stand/handle case combo. I went overboard this event. Buying the z-fold 6 1tb CB/ titanium grey watch ultra-orange band-grey band/ black smart ring/ silver buds 3 pro... I'm so glad for the trade-in pricing this year. It helped a lot!
Even though the Z flip is so cute i’m gonna have to go with the Z fold. Cause I feel like phone screens are just too small and I would love a portable tablet
Don’t you think the Z-fold is a bit too narrow when it’s closed? Idk play with it in the store it just seems like you gotta be extra careful when you got it extended and tablet mode like gotta make sure you got a good grip or hold it with two hands
I had the flip4 and upgraded to the flip5 and only paid $57 after tax last year, this time its $427 after tax to upgrade. I decided to upgrade because next year my flip5 would lose 100 from waiting. I absolutely love the Flip series and the flip 5 is really durable, also drop it a lot less because of the conpact design which i also absolutely love. I would like to see the glass on the back to be matt again because it gives extra grip, the glossy glass slips a lot more, and I would also like to see more vibrant blue and green shades. The muted colors are so boring
Just ordered the flip 6. I just love the smallness of it tbh. I don't think I'll ever use a "normal" phone again. I've had my flip 4 ever since it released and I've been very happy with it and the improvements in 6 are just going to make the experience so much better.
@@dwave2fly not really. The flip 4 still works just fine and my mum gladly took it and is using it now. The only thing that needed to be done to it is getting a new screen protection film since the original one was scratched beyond belief. Other than that, no major issues aside from normal things like scratches here and there. Battery life is also good. As for the Flip 6 I'm completely satisfied with it so far.
Oh boy I completely forgot about the existence of unbox therapy! My once favourite channel which I unsubscribed after lou started being a nut about apple because they didn’t invite him to some event! Haven’t watched a single UT video since then until now but this video just randomly slided into my shorts! I hope he is back to being normal and fair with all tech, I hate tech reviewer that try to push their personal agenda instead of objectively judging a piece of tech which I use as tools.
Well, the new fold is similar to the old one. While the flip 6 has more of an upgrade compared to the flip 5. I’m just decided over the color. I don’t know if I want silver or blue. lol
Awesome. Once they come to U.S. Samsung will be forced to make changes. So will see. Personally, I never even notice mine anymore. It's only a issue to people that don't own/use the phones ive found.
Man. The flip is almost a must have. Make a flip ultra . I dont use my phone for much. TH-cam. Netflix , call and text. Internet browsing, shopping and payments. Music daily though. I wonder if i should do it
I did same. 😂 Z fold 6 with 1tb Samsung exclusive crafted black, love the design it has on it. Instead of just being a plain black... was only 1k after all discounts and trading in a old Z-fold 3. Got keep my Z-Fold 4 and Z-Fold 5 to gather dust now too. 😂

I chose the Motorola Stylus 5g 2024 bc Im not paying for a phone... What I paid for my gaming laptop. 1899.99 is absurd for a phone. Stop supporting and normalizing these crazy prices. I can afford it, doesn't mean I'll buy it. Impressed with this Stylus for a middle of the road product. Feels worth more than the 350 dollars I paid for it. Feels better than the best A Series Samsung has. I support features I want around. SD card, 3.5mm and stylus. I don't support companies removing features for self benefit and calling it the future. You don't need that 3.5mm anymore... Bc we have some 250 dollar earbuds we need to sell you. You don't need that SD card... Bc we have storage tiers built in and can charge you more now. I'll pass on the future bc it's regressive.
I think this year they focus more on being clean and more practicalthan the last year.its still good of a change even tho its focusing on the galaxy ai stuf
I have a galaxyS22 and my plan just went up 2 days ago, and I'm deciding between these 2 phones! I'm doing research, buuut I'm torn between what I want
I find you must leave the flip in battery saving mode or off when in the pocket or it over heats and reboots! No problem when in my book bag, but extra added heat from the body does this over and over till it's unfoled and placed in air while on! Never experienced this with my fold! But folds not a tech advantage over flip if you have no pen. Make sure u buy a proper case for this beast that holds the phone pen! Losing several pens gets old. I like both phones equally because of convenience but a proper fold with pen edges out the flip every time!
Went to service center back and forth for the 4th time in a year. I finally trade in my fold 4 to ultra 24. I miss using fold but the inner screen is just unreliable.
I would take the Z Fold 6 every day of the week instead of the Flip 6, except for some situations like watching youtube or movies or some gaming.But everything else is pretty much better on the Fold 6
