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.
@@RedRaptureRaptor 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.
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 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
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'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 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.
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'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'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
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 📱.
Bro the Flip 6 is on a whole different ball game, the features are amazing, and you can record with 2 cameras on the Flip simultaneously and charge any phone device and smartwatch by placing them on the back of the Flip and it charges them 👌 there's so many features that Samsung haven't mentioned. The phone is super dope
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
Thr flip has been handy for me to save space and battery for long walking or biking days. Actually reminds me of my teenage days running around with a gba sp. The flip is about the same size. Its almost wallet like and dont have to worry about it falling out of pockets as much
Interestingly, even tho you say that this is the first z flip with a good camera, the z flip 4 that i owned had the best main camera i have ever seen on a smartphone. the fact that it was only 12 MP aside, it genuinely produced some of the best images that i have ever seen come out of a smartphone in almost any situation. and the nighttime/star photography performance was on another level. it genuinely blew my mind how good it was. and for the record, (besides resolution) the main camera would do better than the s23 ultra i now own in any situation, no questions asked.
I just grabbed a zflip5 on a great deal. I have 7 days to keep or return. So far every comparison I seen, the flipb5 is doing everything the 6 can. What's your take 3months later?
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 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.
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.
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.
Had it for a month and a half, main screen went unresponsive to touch. Asurion says the warranty is not going to work due to some noise it makes which would cost too much to repair. No major scratches or cracks on the screen whatsoever, and NO water damage, but now I have to pay $300 for a deductible just to repair/replace. Phone is overall not worth the price and hassle. Back to Apple 😢
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.
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.
You will switch as soon you experience the screen flaws. Unless you switch model every year. The monitor cable is too sensitive in these phones. And there's often gives random problems with the screen. Kind of normally after 9 months time.
I got my z flip 6 from my carrier for $9.97/mo for 2 years and they gave me like $500 to trade in my S20 FE. So without paying the full retail price the phone is awesome
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 $300 after having insurance! But no TH-camr warns a customer about that shit.
Literally just ordered one of these today, after using a flip 4 for the last 2yrs the form factor is a major plus for me, the improved camera is the main reason for me to upgrade now, plus with the deal I got from my UK provider my monthly cost will be considerably lower.
My main concern with my Flip was the durability of the screen. I've had to take my Flip4 for repair under the manufactures warranty 4 times in 11 months. After the 4th time Samsung did not want to repair it anymore. They messed up from simple drops with case on and screen protector. The last one I accidentally dropped a regular pencil on the screen by mistake and the screen messed up. I absolutely love the form factor though. I miss how easy it was to carry around. I don't miss the battery life though.
Owned the flip 5... Processor wise it's great. Bought a Razr 2024 and haven't looked back. Has more to offer external screen wise and battery life is better not great tho.
Coming from iPhone 14 pro to a flip 6 I am IN LOVE. In comparison to just other phones in the market it's not a bad price overall. I think it's worth the upgrade.
I have been a fan of Samsung for years. I have do say in this case I would not recommend getting this phone. I had mine for 2 months always cased never dropped or submerged. The main screen went out. Samsung had me take it to a local repair shop and they said the motherboard went bad. Sent it to Samsung and I got 3 stories. 1 email saying " phone is not repairable and is being shipped back" no further info. Story 2 called customer service phone can be fixed for 325.00$. 3rd text with Samsung phone is not repairable you damaged it we will not replace and it is being shipped back. If you have one Goodluck!
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 🤷♂
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've been using a Z Fold for the last 3 years, and its great. Having a big screen paired with a decent processor, ready in your pocket whenever you want it has been awesome. That being said it made me realize how nice an ACTUAL tablet would be. So now I'm leaning towards switching from m Z fold as a singular do-it-all device, to a Tab S9 for gaming, work apps, translation, sharing, dex, etc. Basically ALL my heavy lifting. And a Z flip as- a phone. And also as a hotspot for my Tab.
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.
Really wanting to switch by Christmas from my s22 ultra to the z flip man this phone seems so cool. I've wanted a z flip since they came out but wanted to give them time to work out some of the bugs
As someone who has had space issues in the past the lack of a micro SD slot when we know damn well they could fit it in with the Sim slot area with minimal effort is just unforgivable. I hate that the leave this out in what to me seems to be an effort to sell you on their higher capacity models.
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 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 love samsung but ive noticed theyre becoming like apple slowly...like no more charging bricks in the box and not fixing the crease line on the foldables like other companies have
You just keep flipping it like the golden days of the moto razr and I'm buying this today. 7 years of os updates means they will sell less phones in the longrun so they have to make up revenue somewhere.
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…
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 😊
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!
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.
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.
I've considered going for the upgrade, but haven't made up my mind yet. I'm still rocking the Flip 3 from almost exactly 3 years ago, and my main gripe during that time has been the almost pointless outer screen and limited battery life. The advances theyve made to both in the intervening years has me kinda excited. As far as price, it doesn't really bother me that much. I just checked AT&T for trade-in deals, and I could trade in my current phone and get the Flip 6 basically for free. The extra $100 doesn't matter if you don't have to pay 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.
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.
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
Other youtubers : *diplomatic answers*
Mr Mobile : No.
TheUnlockr also said "No", following it up with "I'm not sure what the extra $100 went to"
I came down here to type just that.
Glad it's already been said.

10:50 this was the first thing I noticed.Thought the case wasn't completely on for a moment
The sound it makes reminds me of closing a Game Boy Advanced. Would pay the extra money just because of that
Gameboy sp😊
Never had the urge to get a flip phone, give me a decent camera and battery life and I'm happy
The price increase is like wanting to pay the same for a Big Mac today as you did in 1980.
YES, EXACTLY!!!
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.
As long as a fingernail can leave a permanent mark on these screens there's a huge compromise still.
Just gotta cut your fingernails 😂
Austin is probably the best tech TH-camr I’ve watched. The ZFlip 6 still cost too much for me.
Unless it is a fold phone, no phone should be over $1000
How about no phone should be over $1000 period? Apple started that BS with the iPhone X
Samsung has great trade ins, so no need to buy retail price.😊
You can fold this phone, right?
this looks like something I can finally move to from my iphone8, I had no idea flip phones were still a thing, it looks nice I'll need to test it out
can finally run and walk with my phone in my pocket without feeling the ruler in my pants
What about the new razr?
You will switch as soon you experience the screen flaws. Unless you switch model every year. The monitor cable is too sensitive in these phones. And there's often gives random problems with the screen. Kind of normally after 9 months time.
They're up to 6 now!?
pump them out every year because idiots buy them lmao
@@sim6446 apple?
@@ShockingPikachuprobably
@@ShockingPikachu same shit different brand
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 got my z flip 6 from my carrier for $9.97/mo for 2 years and they gave me like $500 to trade in my S20 FE. So without paying the full retail price the phone is awesome
I like that he uses Samsung and other phones
You officially win the award for the most useless comment 🎉
@@SamxMusic68 thank you thank you very much
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.
It's like the EV of the smartphone realm. $1100 today, Peanuts tomorrow. And for good reason
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.
A samsung phone without dex is a compromise
why tf would u wanna dex on a small phone like this
@@danielk9422 it doesn't matter how small the phone is? If you have a huge display then ur gtg
I sincerely love your honesty and hit the subscribe button without hesitation
If it has an apple logo on it, it would be worth 300 increase.
It'd be $2000 with no upgradable storage and lower quality hinges.
I've been in the, z-flip culture since the 3 (3 years ago now), I have the 4 now and I am looking forward to upgrading to the 6 next month.
“easily the best folding phone theyve ever made” 🤨🤨 0:03 ?!?
What
it is folding, but most say flipping
It folds
well yeah, latest generation of a certain product is almost always the best
My main concern with my Flip was the durability of the screen. I've had to take my Flip4 for repair under the manufactures warranty 4 times in 11 months. After the 4th time Samsung did not want to repair it anymore. They messed up from simple drops with case on and screen protector. The last one I accidentally dropped a regular pencil on the screen by mistake and the screen messed up. I absolutely love the form factor though. I miss how easy it was to carry around. I don't miss the battery life though.
Owned the flip 5... Processor wise it's great. Bought a Razr 2024 and haven't looked back. Has more to offer external screen wise and battery life is better not great tho.
Coming from iPhone 14 pro to a flip 6 I am IN LOVE. In comparison to just other phones in the market it's not a bad price overall. I think it's worth the upgrade.
SO GLAD to hear! I’m on my 12 Pro Max and tomorrow I get my z flip 6! I’m soooo excited.
@@macymiller3417 yesss !!! What color did you get ?
I also have a 14 Pro currently. I’m trying to decide! I want a flip phone so bad! I want to customize and make it so cute! 🥰
I have been a fan of Samsung for years. I have do say in this case I would not recommend getting this phone. I had mine for 2 months always cased never dropped or submerged. The main screen went out. Samsung had me take it to a local repair shop and they said the motherboard went bad. Sent it to Samsung and I got 3 stories. 1 email saying " phone is not repairable and is being shipped back" no further info. Story 2 called customer service phone can be fixed for 325.00$. 3rd text with Samsung phone is not repairable you damaged it we will not replace and it is being shipped back. If you have one Goodluck!
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 🤷♂
Yes, it is . I am enjoying this phone. Is very small and compact
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've been using a Z Fold for the last 3 years, and its great. Having a big screen paired with a decent processor, ready in your pocket whenever you want it has been awesome. That being said it made me realize how nice an ACTUAL tablet would be. So now I'm leaning towards switching from m Z fold as a singular do-it-all device, to a Tab S9 for gaming, work apps, translation, sharing, dex, etc. Basically ALL my heavy lifting. And a Z flip as- a phone. And also as a hotspot for my Tab.
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.
Nice to see Ella featuring in other big techtubers videos
Really wanting to switch by Christmas from my s22 ultra to the z flip man this phone seems so cool. I've wanted a z flip since they came out but wanted to give them time to work out some of the bugs
motorola is the higher quality phone. 1 yr zero issues compared to samsungs cracked screens or hinges breaking.
As someone who has had space issues in the past the lack of a micro SD slot when we know damn well they could fit it in with the Sim slot area with minimal effort is just unforgivable. I hate that the leave this out in what to me seems to be an effort to sell you on their higher capacity models.
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 sorry i own both, the z flip 6 is better than all apple phones. And the z fold 6 is the best folding phone
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 love samsung but ive noticed theyre becoming like apple slowly...like no more charging bricks in the box and not fixing the crease line on the foldables like other companies have
Excellent overview austin!
Austin, I'm curious to know if you still have the LG Wing you demonstrated years ago. Congratulations from Brazil.
You just keep flipping it like the golden days of the moto razr and I'm buying this today. 7 years of os updates means they will sell less phones in the longrun so they have to make up revenue somewhere.
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…
Austin, Z Flip or Razr?
Razr
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 😊
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!
love the unit buy hate flex issues after a year when it's out of warranty. I'll stick to S series for now.
I'll stick with the new, bigger Motorola Razor 2024 at half the price and better cameras
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.
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.
I've considered going for the upgrade, but haven't made up my mind yet. I'm still rocking the Flip 3 from almost exactly 3 years ago, and my main gripe during that time has been the almost pointless outer screen and limited battery life. The advances theyve made to both in the intervening years has me kinda excited.
As far as price, it doesn't really bother me that much. I just checked AT&T for trade-in deals, and I could trade in my current phone and get the Flip 6 basically for free. The extra $100 doesn't matter if you don't have to pay 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.
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.
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
