Remember when foldables first released and people were saying they'd get cheaper after a few iterations? $100 more expensive! $1900 for a phone is outrageous honestly.
1 The note was that range 2 the older versions are cheaper 3 1k is "more affordable." 4 They mean over time, not over night. 5 they are working on making it appealing to the masses, it will not be affordable until people are buying them.
$1900 for an incredibly delicate phone compared to a traditional phone and the use cases aren't even that great. Oh wow it unfolds! Totally worth nearly two grand when I already have multiple tablets and I can just carry them around in a back pack
@noobgam6331 well they are saying the flip 6 has double layer screen which is more durable, and fold crease has decreased alot it's almost non-existent

I have been using Flip 5 for almost 2 years now. No issue..in fact I'm more in love than before. I cannot imagine going back to regular phones after using Flip. Small & compact yet Powerful!
I've noticed that unlike Apple, Samsung's media embargo ends when the presentation starts, so yeah, you'll start to see reviews then. Also unlike Apple who keeps their site focused on the event, Samsung starts updating the website as the presentation is going on so between the two, you'll usually find out what they are going to present.
I work in construction and the fold has been awesome for looking at plans, and way more portable than a tablet. Honestly I'm most excited for the brighter display because the sun is bright yo...
@@3Oh3metrostation it's pretty good I honestly drop it too much and have the spen case without the hinge protection. The only issue I have had is I dropped it from about 5 feet and it landed with the inside screen directly on gravel. This left a small pin hole in the screen. But the Samsung care was great and got it fixed in about a day.
That looking at plans thing is worth it just for that. I use an iPhone 7 (just because) and that small a screen is fine for just myself viewing plans on the fly, but at least half a dozen times a day I have to refer to details showing guys details of what needs to be done. Pocket sized but tablet display is compelling.
I remember in the early 90's i had a pair of nice Sony wired (obvs) earbuds... When they died i cut the cables off and kept the buds, and put them in my ears and imagined how crazy it would be if they worked wirelessly, and remember looking at the size of them and thinking how impossible that would be... fast forward 30 or so years, I still remember that when I use my AirPods.

A $100 increase for absolutely nothing tangibly new on these foldables is a yikes from me. Something's truly wrong in this category right now when it's already this expensive and gets price hiked for no reason.
Might have to do with the fact 50% of all dollars in existence were printed in the past 4 years. Dollar dilution should be expected.

@@oscar_dl even McDonald's has raised prices so much due to inflation from two major wars (one affecting oil and grain prices, another blocking shipping), what did you expect?
The increase makes sense if you think of it this way. The Galaxy fold 5 is still less than a year old. Buy that instead, since it'll be very cheap now. People don't seem to realize that even before the "7 year OS update" promise, most flagship android phones had 3-5 years of official support, old tech doesn't just evaporate, when new tech arrives. Use what we already have, then upgrade later on, so you make your purchase actually feel worthwhile. I upgraded from an S20+ to an S24+, and I realized most innovation is done with smartphones, they're all lightweight, lightning fast pocket computers that all have their use cases. every 5 years to upgrade is the way to go in my book. The fold 6 will be affordable once the fold 7 is announced. A year isn't a long wait.

I’d love to see a review on the Galaxy Ring first please, maybe with a comparison to the Oura ring, especially considering you haven’t worn a smart ring before, so you’ll be coming in as a clean slate.
In the uk, the prices of the z flip 5 and 6 are the same - £1049. But right now, they're offering a 10% discount on the z flip 6. So the price didn't change. The only thing is the trade ins arent the best here. So its not worth it to upgrade, unless you dont have a flagship phone from the last 5 years like me. Its easy to find the flip phone interesting.
I have a Fold 4, and this in my mind is how the Fold should have been.. shame it took 6 generations to get there. I'd like to see Samsung try a new Fold design next now that they've fixed the quirks of this design
I'd be interested to see a follow-up in a few months to compare the crease. Get two flips and one phone used but never flipped closed, and the second opened and closed like normal. Just to see if the crease gets worse or stays the same over the course of the phones lifespan.
I like when you say the newest flagship phone is pretty similar to last year model. Ill then shop for last year and save 50% or more on pretty much the same newest phone.
That's what phones are like nowadays. Those were good times when companies actually made innovative products, but now it's just the same product with 1 new feature.
I work at a cell phone store for and since we’ve been able to sell them over the past 3 years we’ve only sold maybe 20 at the most between the two models. We see them more because they have issues. People get deterred by the price. And you can’t do a screen repair claim on them with device protection, they make you do a claim on a new device. $100 increase is insane for them. Most of the people interested are deterred by the price and then the ones who do get them switch back to a regular phone.
I always come here after a Samsung announcement for intelligent and insightful reviews of the new Samsung products. This guy, Marques, does a great job with reviews!
Okay, I'll follow up my own comment now after using the Flip6 for a month. The screen is fine as is; and additionalyy I use it a lot. It's very handy having info and apps on the front cover. This phone is excellent and I won't go back to a slab again.
Same soon as always. Yeah obviously cuz they’re downright Apple copycat. Poor finish and no notable upgrades…ah I see the price!! Look at those square watches so called ultra lineup and the AirPods..with ambient lighting stripes on the stem yuk🤢🤢🤢
I wanted to come back to this video and leave a comment in regards to the Samsung Z Flip 6. I bought mine a month ago, and this Saturday (a literal month to the day later) my Z Flip black screened and started a nonstop boot cycle. I have tried soft reset, letting power drain and full charging , but from what I can tell the phone is shot. I am going down the path of warranty replacement through Samsung now. It's a real shame this happened because the Z Flip is the best feeling phone I have had in a long while. To anyone new to the video, if you see this comment just know that even in its 6th iteration, the Z Flip is still having problems.
I honestly just traded in for the Flip 6 because I've never had a flip smartphone but had one of those ridiculously tiny pill flip phones where you gotta tap the key 3 tines to get the letter you want when texting. I just did it because the folded size should be easier for me to work with at work when in pocket and more for the nostalgia factor of just having a flip phone.
The s24 is also way too fat in the hand imo. The main reason people get the fold is the ability to have a mini tablet sized screen on demand when needed and a slimmer profile for quick use. My hands arent small but holding the s24 feels cumbersome when trying to use one hand
Actually he didn't cover anything he really rushed the review like usual with Samsung, go watch mrwhosetheboss or dave2d million times better analysis and they covered mostly all the new features
@@jmarkiewicz I mean, I still need to see some reviews, consider all my actual use cases. But for now you can count me, I can't sleep with a watch and the possibility of sleep tracking alone makes it interesting to me. Price be damned.
@@jmarkiewiczIt’s slightly more than the Ultrahuman ring, cheaper than Oura in the long run and if it’s anywhere close in accuracy as a Fitbit or Apple Watch it’s a solid buy.
they mentioned that their XR headset will be revealed soon and spoke little on it about it coming out this year. its sad to not hear it being mentioned as its a very hyped product right now in the large VR/XR community as it will be more affordable than the Apple vision pro with very high lenses as well
I’ve been using an iPhone since iPhone 4S til iPhone 14 pro max now and I have decided to make a switch to Samsung !! Just ordered mine. Hope it’ll be worth it!
@afroditta6950 tell me you haven't used samsung in recent years without telling me you haven't used samsung in recent years. And by recent years I mean anything from around 2016 onwards. If you experienced lag, you take care of your phone like shit.
@@sarki4816that’s exactly the point android like Windows need taking care of to keep the OS running smoothly one day after purchase. The core OS simply isn’t as smooth which result in bad experiences
hey MKBHD, not sure if youve done anything like this before but wonder if youd be open to doing a video on old tech in modern day. phones are becoming more and more expensive and there is a growing minority of users that want to stay on older devices, but the security updates stopping is dangerous. was hoping you might have a guide to working with older tech in this modern landscape. good video brother

If you're considering purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Flip or Fold phone, I strongly suggest you think twice. As a loyal Samsung user, I bought a Galaxy Flip 5 less than a year ago, and it already has two pink lines and a black dot on the screen. After a lot of back-and-forth with customer service, they finally asked me to reset the phone yesterday, Friday, August 9, 2024. Today, I went to the Samsung store at Westfield Stratford, where I was informed that I would need to pay £340 to repair it because of a small dent, which apparently voids my two-year warranty. Given my long relationship with Samsung, I can no longer recommend their Flip or Fold phones. I've been a Samsung user since 2013, starting with the Galaxy Note 3. I still own a Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy Note 9, and a Galaxy S24 Plus, along with a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and Galaxy Buds Live. I had been considering upgrading to the Galaxy Fold 6, but this experience has completely turned me off Samsung. Even though I’ve been satisfied with their products in the past, I now find their two-year warranty untrustworthy. Goodbye, Samsung. I have photos of the damage that voided my warranty.
I've used the fold since the fold 4 and no problems with hinge or screen........unless ur a back pocket type of person sitting on my 4 made it make weird noises when folding but still worked with no issues I'm 170lbs. The hinge on 5 is good and I've taken some sweet underwater photos with mine
I’m a lifetime Apple user, watching Samsung and pixel, just waiting for the right moment to switch. I’m telling you if this next Apple drop doesn’t have all these features and more I’m switching
I like the watch 6 classic more. Why would I want a bulkier watch with the same screen size. Sure make an ultra watch just make look like a watch and not a square with a circle screen. Just copying apple.
@Chance21 yeah that's a fair point, ive had a Casio since i was 3, G-Shock since 6 and bout 7years ago i bought a G-Steel😂 so im used to have indestructible watches I don't have to care about and I just prefer that aesthetic for a daily watch. But I do completely agree with you in terms of design
I own a Watch 6 Classic and I was excited to hear about the ultra. But that bulkier squircle design... 🤢 I'll be sticking to what I have this generation
These phones are making me very seriously consider leaving Apple. I have a 14 Pro Max so we'll see what they do this fall, but it's not looking good for them to keep me.
You won't regret it. I've been a galaxy guy since 2011 and I've never looked back. Currently rocking the Fold 4 and I'll never go back to a standard candybar style phone. I'm hoping the fold 7 will have enough upgrades to encourage actually upgrading
I ring has a feature that when you set the alarm on phone the ring vibrates to wake you up rather than making a noise it would be so handy for people with partners and work on different shifts
GOT IT FOR 1033$ 2 MONTHS AFTER RELEEASE !!! IDK why people complain about prices you can get any phone like 6 months after release. 24ultra 512 gb is like 750 now.
Pretty soon I'm sure Apple will come out with a Flip phone and isheep will act like it's THE Best thing since sliced bread. All companies take ideas from each other so your opinions are just that. I think everyone is entitled to their opinions and leave it at that. I appreciate your reviews. I wish the flip 6 had a 30 X zoom camera like my S23 . Reminds me of a Nintendo Game boy SP.
Samsung was doing most of that stuff on the watch before apple. He keeps just “forgetting” that Samsung had those features on the older watches before apple introduced them. I own apple products but it’s best to not be misleading like it’s being presented here and his other watch vid.
I had the zflip 2 and 3 both of them screens got multi color lines until they died.. Customer service involved shipping to Texas and getting back 10 days later with the phone completely wiped of course. I heard good things about zflilp5 and bought a 6 with it’s better camera and 4100 ma battery, better camera and a way to use almost all apps on the cover and found it to be a flagship with amazing battery life , great for sports and viewing in bright sunlight.

My flip 5 was in use for almost a year now and have to say I am impressed. Not a single scratch on an inside flexible screen.
My flip 3 has a lot and the hinge is kinda broken at this point. Also the screen protector had to be replaced thrice, because the dust always gets in
@noobgam6331 well they are saying the flip 6 has double layer screen which is more durable, and fold crease has decreased alot it's almost non-existent

The watch reminds me of the Apple Watch Ultra and those earbuds. Interesting.
Same soon as always. Yeah obviously cuz they’re downright Apple copycat. Poor finish and no notable upgrades…ah I see the price!! Look at those square watches so called ultra lineup and the AirPods..with ambient lighting stripes on the stem yuk🤢🤢🤢
@@joeyjoey324Careful youll upset the fanboys

Except Samsung Gear Sport was released 8 years ago :) .
@@jakub7244Except for some reason (🤑🤑🤑🍎) it was conveniently bought back with a certain colour scheme too lol
I wanted to come back to this video and leave a comment in regards to the Samsung Z Flip 6. I bought mine a month ago, and this Saturday (a literal month to the day later) my Z Flip black screened and started a nonstop boot cycle. I have tried soft reset, letting power drain and full charging , but from what I can tell the phone is shot. I am going down the path of warranty replacement through Samsung now. It's a real shame this happened because the Z Flip is the best feeling phone I have had in a long while. To anyone new to the video, if you see this comment just know that even in its 6th iteration, the Z Flip is still having problems.
Absolutely flawless.
Your sound engineer is awesome 👌
Love the theme you maintain in background in each video. Blue in this video!
I honestly just traded in for the Flip 6 because I've never had a flip smartphone but had one of those ridiculously tiny pill flip phones where you gotta tap the key 3 tines to get the letter you want when texting. I just did it because the folded size should be easier for me to work with at work when in pocket and more for the nostalgia factor of just having a flip phone.
This stuff should be every 3 years.
Every year is just wateful.
Remember you need a pay raise every year and not once in 3 years?
Fold < S series phones
1. Camera
2. Aspect ratio
3. Crease
4. Battery life
5. S pen
6. Durability
7. Ip rating
8. Price
9. Dex mode
10. Charging
The Fold have Dex
The s24 is also way too fat in the hand imo. The main reason people get the fold is the ability to have a mini tablet sized screen on demand when needed and a slimmer profile for quick use.
My hands arent small but holding the s24 feels cumbersome when trying to use one hand
hmm nope. sorry fold clears.
My s23 ultra was just too big ~ kept falling but that's different for everyone.
2:57 "piss poor" that language caught me off guard
MKBHD after dark
dude how did the word piss catch you off guard lmao
Clutch those pearls tight fam!!
Got the Buds Pro and returned it immediately
Horrible sound and fit
"Downgraded" to the Buds 2 Pro and I love it
I got stuck between clicking here or mrwhosetheboss🤣 both videos came out at same time and title is very similar
Noticed that too
Came here looking for this comment
True, I don't know how it happened on my side as side
They’re competing to see who gets more views in the first 24-hours
The real ones will wait for Floss Carter and white shoes to give us the real review
@mkbhd Your timing is perfect! I’m watching your video instead of the keynote and I’m getting all the info I need 😅. You are awesome 😎
Not really, doing disservice by covering it, rather not at all covering it.
Its because Samsung allowed it
That's exactly why they make youtubers wait to drop their videos
Actually he didn't cover anything he really rushed the review like usual with Samsung, go watch mrwhosetheboss or dave2d million times better analysis and they covered mostly all the new features
yes he is im blown seen him on Tv the other day
“399$ for the watch” Ring* how did he miss that lol
Bruh what the fuck
Genuinely. Who the fuck thinks this is worth the price
@@jmarkiewicz I mean, I still need to see some reviews, consider all my actual use cases. But for now you can count me, I can't sleep with a watch and the possibility of sleep tracking alone makes it interesting to me. Price be damned.
Worth it and will I buy it because it does (pending review) what I want it to without being a wrist hugger are different.
@@jmarkiewiczIt’s slightly more than the Ultrahuman ring, cheaper than Oura in the long run and if it’s anywhere close in accuracy as a Fitbit or Apple Watch it’s a solid buy.
they mentioned that their XR headset will be revealed soon and spoke little on it about it coming out this year. its sad to not hear it being mentioned as its a very hyped product right now in the large VR/XR community as it will be more affordable than the Apple vision pro with very high lenses as well
Best Samsung ring color? GO!
That gold is so sexy.
Just started watching the event and this popped up, switched to this immediately! Thanks Marques!
Marques, when are we gonna get the Snapdragon X laptops and the iPadOS videos?
Fold 5 user here. Works great still! Just don't get the hinge wet! I ruined my first one letting it get wet.
2k for a base foldable phone from Samsung. Welcome to the 2024 baby 😢
Sadly
I’ve been using an iPhone since iPhone 4S til iPhone 14 pro max now and I have decided to make a switch to Samsung !! Just ordered mine. Hope it’ll be worth it!
They copied Apple so much you will feel right at home, minus the choppy animations :)
@@afroditta6950lol.... you are paying premium for iphone 15 for exactly the same function after iphone 4.... guess is the same as a decade ago...
@afroditta6950 tell me you haven't used samsung in recent years without telling me you haven't used samsung in recent years.
And by recent years I mean anything from around 2016 onwards. If you experienced lag, you take care of your phone like shit.
@@sarki4816that’s exactly the point android like Windows need taking care of to keep the OS running smoothly one day after purchase. The core OS simply isn’t as smooth which result in bad experiences
@@sarki4816 my last Android was galaxy 23 Ultra, try again. It's not lag, it's just really crappy animations.
Woah dude nice backgrounds music, actually tripped me out for a moment using stero output. 0:02
What’s the name of the track?
@@JoyDasjoydasofficial Honestly no idea man, there's a link to a Spotify playlist he's made in the description on the vid though.
@@DevLockedLuke I shuffled through, but unable to find this particular track
@@JoyDasjoydasofficial Yeah, it's been in a few vids, probably has his own intro clip now.
Dude, I was listening for the stereo output and then I realized that I was watching with my outer speakers vertically lol
I don’t know if anybody else feels the same way, but Marques’s voice is crispier than it has to be, from a very long time though.
First time i will actually consider buying a case from debrand. those casehardened look sick.
I love the galaxy watch ultra design! Reminds me of G-Shock collection.
It looks same as Hermes
We can trust on MKBHD
hey MKBHD, not sure if youve done anything like this before but wonder if youd be open to doing a video on old tech in modern day. phones are becoming more and more expensive and there is a growing minority of users that want to stay on older devices, but the security updates stopping is dangerous. was hoping you might have a guide to working with older tech in this modern landscape. good video brother
That music at the end!!! Broooooo!!! It’s got some real oomph…💪🏾
MKBHD THE Goat has blessed our timeline
Bro MKBHD is here 🔥
I’m definitely going back to be a team Samsung. ❤
mkbhd team once again proves theyre speedier than the flash
Can we please ask dbrand to make skins for the one plus open? I'm sure the only other person on the planet and I who would actually buy one would appreciate it

Getting the z flip 6 in a week...
IM SO EXCITED!
Dual screens lol 🎉
The Z Flip 6 is what the Olympic medalists are using for the "Victory Selfies."

We just don't get the same kind of positive energy whenever he reviews Samsung or Android phones in general, no matter how good they become
he's in love with apple. I remember one time he literally claimed that people "looked down" on people who texted them with the green/blue(?) text bubble on their iPhone, because it meant that the other person was an android user and android was inferior to apple...
If you're considering purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Flip or Fold phone, I strongly suggest you think twice. As a loyal Samsung user, I bought a Galaxy Flip 5 less than a year ago, and it already has two pink lines and a black dot on the screen. After a lot of back-and-forth with customer service, they finally asked me to reset the phone yesterday, Friday, August 9, 2024. Today, I went to the Samsung store at Westfield Stratford, where I was informed that I would need to pay £340 to repair it because of a small dent, which apparently voids my two-year warranty. Given my long relationship with Samsung, I can no longer recommend their Flip or Fold phones. I've been a Samsung user since 2013, starting with the Galaxy Note 3. I still own a Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy Note 9, and a Galaxy S24 Plus, along with a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and Galaxy Buds Live. I had been considering upgrading to the Galaxy Fold 6, but this experience has completely turned me off Samsung. Even though I’ve been satisfied with their products in the past, I now find their two-year warranty untrustworthy. Goodbye, Samsung. I have photos of the damage that voided my warranty.
I've used the fold since the fold 4 and no problems with hinge or screen........unless ur a back pocket type of person sitting on my 4 made it make weird noises when folding but still worked with no issues I'm 170lbs. The hinge on 5 is good and I've taken some sweet underwater photos with mine
Yeah I also have a flip 4, and aside from having someone else change my screen protector it's as good as new. What are you doing to your phone😅
I’m a lifetime Apple user, watching Samsung and pixel, just waiting for the right moment to switch. I’m telling you if this next Apple drop doesn’t have all these features and more I’m switching
Wish they had this "ultra" version of the watch last year when i bought the Watch 6 Classic
I like the watch 6 classic more. Why would I want a bulkier watch with the same screen size. Sure make an ultra watch just make look like a watch and not a square with a circle screen. Just copying apple.
@Chance21 yeah that's a fair point, ive had a Casio since i was 3, G-Shock since 6 and bout 7years ago i bought a G-Steel😂 so im used to have indestructible watches I don't have to care about and I just prefer that aesthetic for a daily watch. But I do completely agree with you in terms of design
I'm the opposite. I wanted a 7 Classic coz I think the Ultra's squircle design is ugly; and now I'm gonna feel pov grabbing last years 6 Classic :|
I own a Watch 6 Classic and I was excited to hear about the ultra. But that bulkier squircle design... 🤢 I'll be sticking to what I have this generation
what will happen to the Oura ring I wonder now.
No iphone support in Samsung ring so Oura ain't going anywhere
Depends if they've stopped having a hissy-fit over people pronouncing their name as it's written
@@Awkward-ox4hniPhone will bring one out. You’re crazy to think they won’t
@@Awkward-ox4hn Right... only for America though, I will definitely be picking up this ring.
@@Awkward-ox4hnthe apple one is coming out oura knows they're gonna be obsolete like fitbit and tile
These phones are making me very seriously consider leaving Apple. I have a 14 Pro Max so we'll see what they do this fall, but it's not looking good for them to keep me.
You won't regret it. I've been a galaxy guy since 2011 and I've never looked back. Currently rocking the Fold 4 and I'll never go back to a standard candybar style phone. I'm hoping the fold 7 will have enough upgrades to encourage actually upgrading
I ring has a feature that when you set the alarm on phone the ring vibrates to wake you up rather than making a noise it would be so handy for people with partners and work on different shifts
$1900 is a lot when you can now get a serviceable phone with a 6.7" display for under $200.
The amount of info in 10 minutes is incredible. The GOAT
5:48 see what ya did there 😂
😂😂😂I love that part
GOT IT FOR 1033$ 2 MONTHS AFTER RELEEASE !!! IDK why people complain about prices you can get any phone like 6 months after release. 24ultra 512 gb is like 750 now.
Pretty soon I'm sure Apple will come out with a Flip phone and isheep will act like it's THE Best thing since sliced bread. All companies take ideas from each other so your opinions are just that. I think everyone is entitled to their opinions and leave it at that. I appreciate your reviews. I wish the flip 6 had a 30 X zoom camera like my S23 . Reminds me of a Nintendo Game boy SP.
Samsung attacks Apple's design: "Remember, we'll be doing that next year.
Samsung was doing most of that stuff on the watch before apple. He keeps just “forgetting” that Samsung had those features on the older watches before apple introduced them. I own apple products but it’s best to not be misleading like it’s being presented here and his other watch vid.
2k for a phone is insane
I had the zflip 2 and 3 both of them screens got multi color lines until they died.. Customer service involved shipping to Texas and getting back 10 days later with the phone completely wiped of course. I heard good things about zflilp5 and bought a 6 with it’s better camera and 4100 ma battery, better camera and a way to use almost all apps on the cover and found it to be a flagship with amazing battery life , great for sports and viewing in bright sunlight.
Thank you. Looking forward to the Bud Pro 3. Mines went missing 😅
