My wife and I just upgraded from the S23 Ultra. I bought the Z Fold 6 and I bought her the Z Flip 6. She loves it so much. She doesn't even miss her S23 Ultra and neither do I.
Probably the most well built flip phone in 2024, and the software is definitely top notch. However I feel that the minor improvements over the predecessor doesn't make up to its price bump, sadly.
@@univeralgamersgaming bro that's great . You do have a lot of cash to spare . I wanted a new phone but instead i bought a Rog ally z1 extreme edition. So now for at least 6 to 8 months i can't think of getting a new phone.
A genuine review..I thought you were like that average tech guy who does a bit of everything, but this review was comprehensive and unbiased..Gonna watch your mobile reviews from now on
@@GeraltOfRivia69 how can you take this guy seriously? He said the cameras were great and then goes on to say he recorded the video on the flip but couldn't use the footage because it wasn't good. He then said the durability is on point to a "bar" phone, but then goes on to say he's had to fix his screen several times. He constantly contradicts himself. Red flags everywhere.
I read from another reviewer that it does not charge at 25 watt anymore like the flip 5. Can you confirm the charging speed? He said it was capped at 20 watt.
I jumped from Samsung to Apple a few years back. The Z-Flip is definitely the one phone line that could win me back, but I’m not really looking to upgrade in the near future, and it’ll be interesting to see if Apple actually releases their own foldable phone.
I've been using my flip 4 since it came out and I had a flip 3, and I love it sm. It really is the form factor that I love, and it has survived the test of time including the beach, rain, drops on concrete, and a car accident (it flew out the window) LOL. Ironically the soft inside screen is actually what enables it to never crack like glass. I intend to keep this phone for as long as I can, the battery life now is staring to worsen but still acceptable. One thing for sure is that my next phone will definitely be of the same form factor!
I have the Flip 5. I love it. Not so much the battery life and camera. Picture quality is okay for me. I use it for a year. No issues or scratches. The hinge, inner display are in great condition. No damage. Not sure if I should upgrade. Nice video. Enjoy your new phone 📱.
I've been running z flip too but since google removed the assistant from cover screen, it took a great feature out of what it was a very useful phone. Now i have to manage with bixby in the cover... some say it's security but you can still use the assistant with the phone opened but with the screen off and locked. Algo i ride motorcycles and can't use Google assistant anymore for the same reason and had to associate bixby instead. I wish they bring it back because for me, google assistant is a must and i don't want to take a foldable phone always unfold in order to make use of it.
I have noticed my Z Flip6 camera does shift in focus a lot. Glad it's not just me. Really enjoying everything else about it though. Glad to be back with the Z Flip line
I traded the Z flip 5 in for an s24 plus and it only cost me $100. If I were to trade in my s24 Plus for a Z flip 6 I would still have to pay over $400
I have the S24Ultra and the Flip 6. And I'll upgrade each next year. My dear wife can't understand it (She still using the S22, or maybe its the S21). I just had to have the Flip 6 and Im glad I got it. I will carry the Flip in my pocket and use the S24Ultra at home, these days, for mostly photo editing and posting. If Samsung ever gives us a lighter, slimmer Fold with an S-Pen and (preferably) 16 gb Ram with 1 Tb of storage (I always get 1 Tb from Samsung unlocked), and a bit wider when closed.... my ideal phone for home and travel would be that. But the flip as of this year is the perfect phone for me when leaving the house. I have (for some time) enjoyed purchasing from Samsung (all my tech), trading in my older technology, and dealing with them. Theyve extended my trade in time when ive forgotten for good customer service. Take it from me (with years of experience) the Flip 6 is a marvel of technology and is pretty close to perfect today.
What the audience wants from tech reviewers are straightforward answers like Mr. Mobile and Unbox Therapy. It actually helps users understand if it is worth their money or not.
I'm holding it right now, and I'd say it's worth the extra cost, especially if you can ease it with a trade-in deal. It feels much more premium and sturdy. Notable improvements: 1. Better haptics 2. Much less noticeable crease 3. New vividness option in display, allowing for better color over the flip 5 4. Better speaker with less resonance 5. All matte textures, which I prefer
this year is the first time ive decided to try out the flip - I dont rely on my camera anywhere near as much as I used to as I have my Canon. Ive used a few iterations of the Fold and I even got the Fold 6 to try alongside the Flip 6 - may sound crazy but I actually love the Flip so much more! 😄 its just fun to use! no chance I was paying full retail price for the fold either 🤢 so that's being returned. Got the Flip 6 BNIB from Ebay for £730 - amazing how fast the price drops on the private market! I wouldn't have paid £1050 to be honest but at £730 I think it's very solid.
I love how Fisher and Cogen immediately and without hesitation said the phone isn't worth the higher price. They are folks who don't give a sh*t what Samsung thinks of them and tell it like it is. That's why they are two of the best in the business.
My first ZFlip was the 3. It felt like I had a cut down S Series device just for the folding that provided nothing. The ZFlip 6 I have now feels like a step above the S series. Like it has everything the S24 has but can now fold. I feel like its a huge win. $100 more worth? No. But I bought it anyway so 🤷♂
You were actually the person that convinced me to try out a folding phone. Unfortunately, mine has not held up so well and I ended up getting the Motorola razor fold + . I hope the Z flip six holds up better.
As someone who enjoys phone games and consuming media on my phone I tried the zflip6 I was also switching back from apple to android, if not for the awkward dimensions of the flip id have been sold on it. The fact that my games couldn’t flip to horizontal orientation and in vertical orientation I had to awkwardly scroll to see either side of me was more or less a dealbreaker. Its sad they didn’t just take the ultras dimensions and make it flip because if not for that gripe (and Samsung pay being hardwired into the watch/phone despite still being inferior compared to Google and Apple Pay) the zflip6 was a very fun if not gimmicky device… the realization that upgrading for the sake of a better gaming experience while sacrificing my gaming experience would be self defeating and the iPhone 16 being right around the corner brought me back to wait it out. God I wish this phone had the same screen size as the ultra it would have been perfect…
My only complaints with the flip phones have been battery life, and the hinge. They improved the battery for the 4 (over the 3) and I did have to have my hinge replaced on the 4 a few months ago. But the hinge broke when the phone dropped and landed funny on the hinge which broke it. Love the form factor though.
I've been rocking the OnePlus open for months, and I feel like that phone really addressed the crease better than any Samsung phone has done to date. If swiping across the crease has the risk of knocking my finger off track then I have no interest in that phone
I have last years motorola and the screen is not perfect. Specifically at the crease. But you need to consider that you only carry it folded, so scratches just don‘t happen as the screen is securely folded away
Im loving my Zfold 6, js. Upgraded from the 3 that had no issues other than a little chip on the front because I dropped it too many times at work. And that was on cement so. It has durability. The ram being upgraded will be a huge upgrade. Faster definitely
I really like the style of the Flip and have been a Samsung guy for about a decade. I was on the fence about getting a Flip, but after watching multiple videos, I can't justify trading in my S24 ultra.
Question? Did you have to have any warranty work done on your zFlip 5? My 1st zFlip was the 3, and then Ive upgraded every year since. I've never been hard on phones. All my friends have smashed up screens on their new phones, and I'd have my 5 year old phone with not a scratch! I had no problems with any of my phones I've owned until the zFlip 5. One day my z 5 slipped off my coffee table onto my thick carpeted floor, and half the screen went black! No cracks. Another time I bumped it on my steering wheel getting out of my car It certainly wasn't a hard bump. This time a black line went across the center fold! Currently the black is starting to creep from the left side of the screen where the hinge is and the very left bottom corner doest respond to touch but there's no black or any type of damage to the phone.. I've had to have warranty work done on it twice now and it really needs it a third time. I'm trading up to get rid of this 5 model because my manufacturers warranty is expiring. I don't really want to because this deal is shit!!! They're paying us a lot less for our trade ins. Maybe because of the amount of warranty work they've had to perform on them?? And the phones more expensive then last years but we got a lot more upgrades last year then this year..
I had the Flip 3, 4, and 5 and my 6 is definitely worth an extra 100 bucks. It's the first that feels like a full flagship phone. The earlier ones were always missing something. That said, with Samsung's US trade in deals, I have never paid full price for any of them!
ive been watching these videos nonstop because i cant decide between the z flip 6 or the Motorola Razr + 2024. It just seems like the front screen on the Razr is just easier to use out of box
Tmobile gave me $1,100 trade in credit for a Galaxy S9+ I had sitting around. The price of the Zflip 6 was 1,100. I paid tax and walked out like a happy clam. I still have myh S22 Ultra 5G and the camera BLOWS the flip out of the water. The flip is my toy phone, and the S22 is my high end camera phone.
Bought mine on launch. Delivered Monday. Love the phone. Cameras great. Scrolling is good but depending can stutter at times. Also my golf game app randomly closed today while gaming. Nothing else was open.
Using the Razr 2023 version kinda made the flip androids not worth it to me. I got a defect after the screen protector came off got a black spot in the top right of the screen
The flex cable that was connecting the two halves is the only reason why you should think about getting a Flip / Fold. This is a ticking time bomb. It will degrade and fail even if you baby your device.
I had the z flip 3 for 3 years and has been the most durable phone I've owned. Slapped a tough armor case on it day 1.. Not a scratch on it when trading in for the flip 6. The case took a beating 😂
Z flip 5 was awesome (except for the crummy camera - not gonna lie!)... But the Flip6 is on another level, like the crease! And the camera is improved too.
I've had my z flip 6 a few days now and while I haven't properly set it up yet it's a really good phone I think, but it's my first phone of this style, so nothing to compare to. Once I've figured how to get multiple apps on the cover screen I really like the phone. I've been using that more until I need to open the phone for certain things. The front screen is big enough for decent browser size and app sizes like Amazon etc. One thing I don't like is the apps like Netflix etc don't fill up more of the screen as I'd have liked. It's not purposely designed with that in mind, but it could've shrunk the black bars a little more. Other than the monthly cost difference it was the lack of filling up the screen more for movies that I decided against the fold 6. The crease is weird when you are moving apps over the screen, but the crease doesn't bother me visually.
I had the z flip 5 and I did not think it was worth the price. 1 year later and the screen starred getting huge bubbles right where it folds and some weird peeling where my fingers swipes up and down when I scroll. The cost to fix the peeling and bubbles is too high. I went back to my S21+ simply because glass is sturdy.
Literally just ordered one of these today, after using a flip 4 for the last 2yrs the form factor is a major plus for me, the improved camera is the main reason for me to upgrade now, plus with the deal I got from my UK provider my monthly cost will be considerably lower.
I was excited for the Flip 6. I switched from iPhone. I went back to iPhone after 12 days. That plastic feeling screen and crease is awful on the Flip.
@@m0zart911 Indeed. I'm surprised people on the internet aren't saying anything about it more. It goes to show, the chance of finding our look alike are closer than we might think in this world. Just look at Scarlett Johansson and Billie Ellish even though they aren't related. Lol.
Z flip is amazing. But they need an ultra with a pen than slides to extend . I bought fold 6. But the flip might be more marketable. The cool flipsuit cases need to be pushed. So you can have like your favorite team or anime character with it. And the fact that its more pocketable is A HUGE SELLING POINT for most people.
I’m still seeing quite a bit of reports from users both online and from people I know that their Z Flip’s screen just cracks and breaks after a few months to a year, this is with the Z Flip 5 and older. Hopefully this new one is different but only time will tell. Until Samsung can make a Z flip or a foldable in general that lasts at least 2 years without breaking, I’ll be sticking with the reliable regular slab phones whether that be iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, or any other regular phone. I don’t want to deal with the hassle of having to send in a flip phone for repair every few months. Sure the issue doesn’t seem to be as widespread as before, but the fact that it still exists means there’s still always the chance it could happen to my unit as well if I do get one.
5:00 These tech youtubers talk about how the vapor chamber helps...but then they only give anecdotals. Why aren't these big tech channels measuring the thermal improvements, if there are any, between z5 and z6 under load? It comes off as a bit lazy.
I agree with Mr. Mobile. It is not worth upgrading if you have a Z Flip 5. I'm still very happy with the 5, and I'm hoping that Samsung makes more improvements on the 7. Only time will tell...
I'll be honest, the only thing pushing me to want to get a ZFlip 6 after having a ZFlip 5 for only a month now, is the battery. The camera to me is fine, only time it gets hot is while charging, I have a case that does a adequate job protecting it and I have insurance if screen issues ensue. So I'm not too worried about it, but time will tell. This was my first high end phone purchase ever.
Mr Mobile dont mess around! One of my buddies was telling me that the previous model crapped out on him. The screen started to have issues making the phone useless. He was expexted to pay a deductible of like $300 after having insurance! But no TH-camr warns a customer about that shit.
Its only worth it if you are trading in an old device for it. I havent used the flip since the 3 and Im only getting the flip because Im buying the Olympic flip 6 since its the only exclusive phone sammy made this year plus it has some exclusive features etc. Im now the proud owner of only 17,000 models that exist 😊
If they can figure out a way for the screen protector to not be such a boon, I will be much more intrigued. I don't want to have to replace it every 8-12 months through Samsung, or worry about any bubbling damaging the display if I fold it before immediately replacing it when it bubbles, etc. Just sounds like a pain, and a bit of a mess. Overall it's very close though. A few more cover screen optimizations (full, proper, out-of-the-box app support, further optimizations for notification replies, etc), less prominent crease/other improvements to inner display durability/screen protector, better dust protection, some camera improvements... and that's about it. Still curiously missing Dex though.
I really like how the cameras are improved, the battery increased, and the crease decreased in Z flip 6. What I don't want is the price hike of 100 dollars, like what's so special about this phone compared to Z flip 5?
I had both the Flip 3 and the 5, and as much as I loved them (they were my favorite phones I’ve ever had), I came to the conclusion that I can’t use them with longer nails. My nails aren’t even suuuuper long, they are just a little long, but they damage the screen. It’s a shame, I miss them dearly
I had the Zfold4 and I loved it for the most part. What I hated was you could easily see where I scrolled because it left marks right where your thumb would be, it also cracked right on the fold just from standard use. It was hard to go to the S24 ultra but I did only because I did not want to use the warrenty again to get a new screen after it broke.

Agree, and even more importantly the better cameras!

Notable improvements:
1. Better haptics
2. Much less noticeable crease
3. New vividness option in display, allowing for better color over the flip 5
4. Better speaker with less resonance
5. All matte textures, which I prefer

My biggest gripe was not with the higher price but the absolute sh*t trade in values this time around. Sure hope they rethink that next year.

My only complaints with the flip phones have been battery life, and the hinge. They improved the battery for the 4 (over the 3) and I did have to have my hinge replaced on the 4 a few months ago. But the hinge broke when the phone dropped and landed funny on the hinge which broke it.
Love the form factor though.
Austin, Z Flip or Razr?
Razr
I've been rocking the OnePlus open for months, and I feel like that phone really addressed the crease better than any Samsung phone has done to date. If swiping across the crease has the risk of knocking my finger off track then I have no interest in that phone
They're up to 6 now!?
pump them out every year because idiots buy them lmao

Well, most of them die after the first few months / year, kinda need to release a ton of them to try to negate that.
I like the design but I can’t bring myself to get one with such a scratchable screen. I’ll just stick with a slab style with more durable screen
I have last years motorola and the screen is not perfect. Specifically at the crease. But you need to consider that you only carry it folded, so scratches just don‘t happen as the screen is securely folded away
Im loving my Zfold 6, js. Upgraded from the 3 that had no issues other than a little chip on the front because I dropped it too many times at work. And that was on cement so. It has durability.
The ram being upgraded will be a huge upgrade. Faster definitely
I really like the style of the Flip and have been a Samsung guy for about a decade. I was on the fence about getting a Flip, but after watching multiple videos, I can't justify trading in my S24 ultra.
Question? Did you have to have any warranty work done on your zFlip 5? My 1st zFlip was the 3, and then Ive upgraded every year since. I've never been hard on phones. All my friends have smashed up screens on their new phones, and I'd have my 5 year old phone with not a scratch! I had no problems with any of my phones I've owned until the zFlip 5. One day my z 5 slipped off my coffee table onto my thick carpeted floor, and half the screen went black! No cracks. Another time I bumped it on my steering wheel getting out of my car
It certainly wasn't a hard bump. This time a black line went across the center fold! Currently the black is starting to creep from the left side of the screen where the hinge is and the very left bottom corner doest respond to touch but there's no black or any type of damage to the phone.. I've had to have warranty work done on it twice now and it really needs it a third time. I'm trading up to get rid of this 5 model because my manufacturers warranty is expiring. I don't really want to because this deal is shit!!! They're paying us a lot less for our trade ins. Maybe because of the amount of warranty work they've had to perform on them?? And the phones more expensive then last years but we got a lot more upgrades last year then this year..
what camera are you using
I had the Flip 3, 4, and 5 and my 6 is definitely worth an extra 100 bucks. It's the first that feels like a full flagship phone. The earlier ones were always missing something. That said, with Samsung's US trade in deals, I have never paid full price for any of them!
In asthetics the razr plus is better. 1100 is too much. They should have extended the outer screen to justify the price.
Never had the urge to get a flip phone, give me a decent camera and battery life and I'm happy
1:38 Favorite part of the whole video BY FAR. Thanks Cap! @TheMrMobile
Watching this on my flip 6 ❤
ive been watching these videos nonstop because i cant decide between the z flip 6 or the Motorola Razr + 2024. It just seems like the front screen on the Razr is just easier to use out of box
Tmobile gave me $1,100 trade in credit for a Galaxy S9+ I had sitting around. The price of the Zflip 6 was 1,100. I paid tax and walked out like a happy clam. I still have myh S22 Ultra 5G and the camera BLOWS the flip out of the water. The flip is my toy phone, and the S22 is my high end camera phone.
6:47 well said Austin, well said
Bought mine on launch. Delivered Monday. Love the phone. Cameras great. Scrolling is good but depending can stutter at times. Also my golf game app randomly closed today while gaming. Nothing else was open.
Using the Razr 2023 version kinda made the flip androids not worth it to me. I got a defect after the screen protector came off got a black spot in the top right of the screen
Austin, I'm curious to know if you still have the LG Wing you demonstrated years ago. Congratulations from Brazil.
The flex cable that was connecting the two halves is the only reason why you should think about getting a Flip / Fold. This is a ticking time bomb. It will degrade and fail even if you baby your device.
I had the z flip 3 for 3 years and has been the most durable phone I've owned. Slapped a tough armor case on it day 1.. Not a scratch on it when trading in for the flip 6. The case took a beating 😂
I sincerely love your honesty and hit the subscribe button without hesitation
Xiaomi might tempt you to switch with the Mix flip/fold 4. 😀
Chinese owned, good bit of carriers don't support it
Z flip 5 was awesome (except for the crummy camera - not gonna lie!)...
But the Flip6 is on another level, like the crease! And the camera is improved too.
5:22 they really putting TXT on the samsung ads. i'm pretty sure that txt and samsung did like a collab or smth.
Austin is probably the best tech TH-camr I’ve watched. The ZFlip 6 still cost too much for me.
I've had my z flip 6 a few days now and while I haven't properly set it up yet it's a really good phone I think, but it's my first phone of this style, so nothing to compare to. Once I've figured how to get multiple apps on the cover screen I really like the phone. I've been using that more until I need to open the phone for certain things. The front screen is big enough for decent browser size and app sizes like Amazon etc. One thing I don't like is the apps like Netflix etc don't fill up more of the screen as I'd have liked. It's not purposely designed with that in mind, but it could've shrunk the black bars a little more. Other than the monthly cost difference it was the lack of filling up the screen more for movies that I decided against the fold 6. The crease is weird when you are moving apps over the screen, but the crease doesn't bother me visually.
Use clear ppf thats self healing for the inner screen🤔, i know it might not be possible but sounds like a good idea?
I think Samsung should work with apple and add Dynamic Island on the zFlip6
this comment gave me a roller coaster of emotions
I had the z flip 5 and I did not think it was worth the price. 1 year later and the screen starred getting huge bubbles right where it folds and some weird peeling where my fingers swipes up and down when I scroll. The cost to fix the peeling and bubbles is too high. I went back to my S21+ simply because glass is sturdy.
Literally just ordered one of these today, after using a flip 4 for the last 2yrs the form factor is a major plus for me, the improved camera is the main reason for me to upgrade now, plus with the deal I got from my UK provider my monthly cost will be considerably lower.
Parker is such a Galaxy Glazer
The camera matching the s24 is a big reason why i will get this phone.
As long as a fingernail can leave a permanent mark on these screens there's a huge compromise still.
Just gotta cut your fingernails 😂
I was excited for the Flip 6. I switched from iPhone. I went back to iPhone after 12 days. That plastic feeling screen and crease is awful on the Flip.
Side note, Austin Evans may have a long lost dead twin named, "Thomas Matthew Crooks." Look it him up. Lol.
They look similar lol
@@m0zart911 Indeed. I'm surprised people on the internet aren't saying anything about it more. It goes to show, the chance of finding our look alike are closer than we might think in this world. Just look at Scarlett Johansson and Billie Ellish even though they aren't related. Lol.
Z flip is amazing. But they need an ultra with a pen than slides to extend . I bought fold 6. But the flip might be more marketable. The cool flipsuit cases need to be pushed. So you can have like your favorite team or anime character with it. And the fact that its more pocketable is A HUGE SELLING POINT for most people.
Nice to see Ella featuring in other big techtubers videos
I’m still seeing quite a bit of reports from users both online and from people I know that their Z Flip’s screen just cracks and breaks after a few months to a year, this is with the Z Flip 5 and older. Hopefully this new one is different but only time will tell. Until Samsung can make a Z flip or a foldable in general that lasts at least 2 years without breaking, I’ll be sticking with the reliable regular slab phones whether that be iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, or any other regular phone. I don’t want to deal with the hassle of having to send in a flip phone for repair every few months. Sure the issue doesn’t seem to be as widespread as before, but the fact that it still exists means there’s still always the chance it could happen to my unit as well if I do get one.
I’m hopefully leaving iPhone today and getting one!
I agree with Michael if it wort extra 100 💵 it’s a NO but proceeds to buy the device. 😂
5:00 These tech youtubers talk about how the vapor chamber helps...but then they only give anecdotals. Why aren't these big tech channels measuring the thermal improvements, if there are any, between z5 and z6 under load? It comes off as a bit lazy.
I agree with Mr. Mobile. It is not worth upgrading if you have a Z Flip 5. I'm still very happy with the 5, and I'm hoping that Samsung makes more improvements on the 7. Only time will tell...
I'll be honest, the only thing pushing me to want to get a ZFlip 6 after having a ZFlip 5 for only a month now, is the battery. The camera to me is fine, only time it gets hot is while charging, I have a case that does a adequate job protecting it and I have insurance if screen issues ensue. So I'm not too worried about it, but time will tell. This was my first high end phone purchase ever.
Mr Mobile dont mess around!
One of my buddies was telling me that the previous model crapped out on him. The screen started to have issues making the phone useless. He was expexted to pay a deductible of like $300 after having insurance! But no TH-camr warns a customer about that shit.
Got a flip6 with about a $200 discount plus a galaxy watch 6 classic. You guys should watch out for promos
Same but I got the watch 7
Getting it for $500 off tomorrow so I’m pretty happy
Its only worth it if you are trading in an old device for it. I havent used the flip since the 3 and Im only getting the flip because Im buying the Olympic flip 6 since its the only exclusive phone sammy made this year plus it has some exclusive features etc. Im now the proud owner of only 17,000 models that exist 😊
If they can figure out a way for the screen protector to not be such a boon, I will be much more intrigued. I don't want to have to replace it every 8-12 months through Samsung, or worry about any bubbling damaging the display if I fold it before immediately replacing it when it bubbles, etc. Just sounds like a pain, and a bit of a mess.
Overall it's very close though. A few more cover screen optimizations (full, proper, out-of-the-box app support, further optimizations for notification replies, etc), less prominent crease/other improvements to inner display durability/screen protector, better dust protection, some camera improvements... and that's about it. Still curiously missing Dex though.
I really like how the cameras are improved, the battery increased, and the crease decreased in Z flip 6. What I don't want is the price hike of 100 dollars, like what's so special about this phone compared to Z flip 5?
I had both the Flip 3 and the 5, and as much as I loved them (they were my favorite phones I’ve ever had), I came to the conclusion that I can’t use them with longer nails. My nails aren’t even suuuuper long, they are just a little long, but they damage the screen. It’s a shame, I miss them dearly
I've been in the, z-flip culture since the 3 (3 years ago now), I have the 4 now and I am looking forward to upgrading to the 6 next month.
I had the Zfold4 and I loved it for the most part. What I hated was you could easily see where I scrolled because it left marks right where your thumb would be, it also cracked right on the fold just from standard use. It was hard to go to the S24 ultra but I did only because I did not want to use the warrenty again to get a new screen after it broke.
