Why does EVERY tech reviewer make "should you upgrade" videos comparing the previous generation's phone when we should all know by now that 2 years is the MINIMUM in which anybody should even be CONSIDERING an upgrade (unless you're a tech enthusiast)? For instance, the Flip 6 is for current owners of the Flip 4 and older, not Flip 5 owners.
@@nextup91 "unless you're a tech enthusiast". There's never a justifiable reason to upgrade from last year, UNLESS you just made the personal decision that you want the latest and greatest thing.
@WhizoRiz If that's the case, then they will upgrade regardless, they don't need random youtube people telling them if it's worth it, because it sure isn't
Me S5 flip user, considering trade in value and reselling value with the degedradition of the screen and hinge mechanisch of a year of extensive use. So yea guess im the specific target audience? But thats not really the point. Every tech reviewer just needs a topic to go on about to create content. Yearly should you upgrade video are always a good to go topic
I live in the US and got a great trade-in offer to upgrade from the Z Flip 5 to the Flip 6. At first I regretted it, but after a week I’m glad I did. What’s better: more ram, better battery, almost no crease and much better cameras. What’s worse: I don’t like the colors of the camera lenses (wish they were still black) and don’t care for the sharp edges and no progress on making the cover display more useful without using Good Lock.
I was not going to upgrade from the 5 to the 6... but Spectrum has a pretty killer deal right now with extra bonus cash... so I am getting $950 for my flip 5 trade in... plus adding a line so I get a line for free. So, for the next year, my cell bill will only be 30 bucks a month for 2 lines unlimited. Pretty stellar...
Last year they offered me about 450 to upgrade. I returned the flip 5. This year they offered me 490. They fixed the issues that I had from the 5 (battery, cameras, and it feels more durable). Perhaps it’s country specific but I’m not seeing a huge price increase like people are saying, especially in this economy. Sadly, a lot of people in the comments are parroting other tech UA-camrs and not doing the digging for themselves.
As i've said in many similar videos, i've got no problem with a hundred dollar increase as I feel the internal upgrades justify it. My gripe is the absolute kick in the nuts we got this time around on trade in values. I went ahead and did it anyway to have max trade in value for the flip seven, hoping they'll realize their mistake and bump the trade in values back up in 2025.
Just got update on my zflip 5, I love my 5. I'm tempted to update . But think I'm staying with my 5. Thanks for the comparison, it's a fun phone, appreciate the info. Very interesting.😊
I would imagine it's because there really isn't "daily" news in the tech industry anymore. There's nothing new or exciting happening. There aren't enough players in the game anymore, every "new" device is merely a small iterative update from the previous year, and NOBODY innovates anymore, so rumors aren't even interesting either. So until a device actually drops, what's there to talk about?
💥💥I'm going to trade in my regular Samsung S23 for the 599$ Motorola razr. I was disappointed with Samsung's products this year. To me Samsung is getting kind of lazy over the last 2 years but the prices are going up. The fold 6 is basically the same as the fold 5. I was highly disappointed in the Samsung Galaxy watch ultra. No rotating bezels and you can't wireless charge the watch on your phone. This zflip 6 is clearly not worth the price they're asking for it. I'll still be in the Samsung ecosystem because I still have my Samsung S23 ultra. I also still have my OnePlus 9 5g. I just don't see the point in having two Samsung phones. The Samsung S23 basically has the same operating system as my S23 ultra. To me Motorola is doing it right. They have the high price Motorola razr plus, but they also got cheaper moto razr flip.
Totally agree .dont get me wrong im a samsung guy but that $100 decrease hurts. Meanwhile Motorola has the new razor plus 2024 for $999.99 same has zflip 5 from last yr. Might do a change & go for the motorola razor this yr.
@@arnoldorodriguez8015 I read this article titled "Samsung is starting to fall behind in the foldable race. It mentions how Motorola is a serious competitor and doing things right.

I wouldn't recommend getting either of these phones, multiple of my friends have had them and the center portion of the screen separated and it looked AWFUL. Plus one of my friend's phone's screen straight up snapped in the middle.
the concept phones are not made to achieve best sales or something, it's just for that new, unique experience when using it, people who want to spend 1200$ on a phone, should probably get this one than the regular iphone or samsung S series or pixel cuz flip and fold give such amazing, unique, premium feeling when using them
Eh, since the cameras aren't so good (and the lack of a telephoto) is the main reason I'll avoid flip smartphones for the time being. I'm still happy with my S20 FE, but I'm planning to upgrade next year. Maybe the S25 when it comes out.
The camera is a downfall for sure. But as a trade worker, im no longer looking at cracked screens or using burner phones constanly. Its not terrible, but its not that s24 ultra kinda gooood.
I love my flips, I have been a S model fanboy for years and had the chance to get a Flip 3 off FB marketplace for a great price and I jumped seeming a bit nostalgic of my older flips, specifically the Nextel 1860 w/chirp from when I was in the military many years ago. Samsung approved my trade-in last year towards the new 5, with student discounts I paid less than $400 and they even accepted my trade-in (which I was doubtful of) because it had a few dead pixels and general wear and tear. Long winded backstory, just to say I LOVE this phone but the design lends itself to delicacy and I agree with your opinion that buying it contributes significantly to e-waste. And it sucks, b/c I consider myself relatively environmentally conscious and try to convey this to my boys. But cool tech is hard to pass up on when it's one of the few joys offered to you in life. Sucks. Best wishes, KY USA
Wow, it's just got $800 Cdn for the Flip4 for towards the Fold 6. Given I paid $500 for the flip 4 after I traded a flip 3 for it. I thought, "Go for it!"
It was simply marketed towards teenage tiktok girls.. had they marketed towards men, you'd probably have bought one. You're a mark that let's corporations manipulate your perception of reality.

Half of the video i tried to figure out which phone is which
😂😂
I had the z flip 4 and 5 for a year each and never had a single issue with either of them . I’m expecting more on the 6! Samsung z flip for lyfe dawg
Why only for a year? Did something happen
@@EveRiriqjhe just rich

Am I the only one finding that the flip 5 pictures look crispier in hes movie ? (better)

FLOP FLOP SUCKS
@@DENVEROUTDOORMANit’s actually a good phone but you’d have to own one to know it.
So what’s your specific country? Germany or Jamaica or neither? They went up $100 US here in USA.
From the Flip 5 probably not. From older Flips it's definitely worth the upgrade.

With this occasion Flip 5 becomes a huge bargain
It's a great phone
re-upload?
Has to be or this is the most extreme deja vu
@@lawjones1😂😂
I'm keeping my flip 5 the difference is not too radical for me to feel like I'm getting anything different.
Ehh, I don't notice much of a difference between the 6 and 5. Only reason why I upgraded is for the ram
This is the best time to get the Flip 5
Real I buying it 😂
I enjoyed this video, i like your voice too :)
Just got update on my zflip 5, I love my 5. I'm tempted to update . But think I'm staying with my 5. Thanks for the comparison, it's a fun phone, appreciate the info. Very interesting.😊
Really like your reviews. Professional and informative
Mahalo for the detailed comparison, really helped me make up my mind! 🤙🏼
Bro just didnt admit Itll goin to HAVE TWO SCREENS FRONT AND BACK 😂😂😂
I was considering a Flip phone as my next phone. But I don't want it if it's so cumbersome to open it.
Why does my flip6 have the manufacturers details on the back both others I've seen don't?
I’m waiting for the z flip 7 .
And buy the flip 3
Thank you for sharing this excellent video! 👍
I can't stop rewinding that dual flipn' flick action!! Love it!!! 👈👉
If you had a flip 4
these smartphone makes just keep selling you the same thing over and over milking you for your $ while you can barely afford groceries
Coming from iPhone 13 mini, it is definitely an upgrade, lol im really enjoying the Z 6
i was actually planning to get iphone 13 mini or flip, is the mini that bad/old?
No upgrade. I feel like the foldables are all the same.
I probably missed the memo but I wonder why you stopped doing Pocketnow Daily.

The battery on the flip 5 is complete Trash. Id trade up to the 6 if the battery is way better??
Terry Radial
How did y’all do that before doing moto vs 6
Moto sucks
This phone should have been called Samsung z flip5 S
I genuinely miss when they did this .5 iterations. That was peak phone period and you can clearly see them doing the change
Nope FLOP FLOP FLOP
I generally like your reviews. But this was just confusing. I do not know which is which...
Don’t blame the chef

wtffff, that's 6.7 inch ig, and when folded 3.5 or smth, that is made for people who love compact phones, why tf they would make it into a S24 ultra?
Prices gone crazy high,no thanks.
Even with out the price Bump was always a phone for losers

the flip 6 is a waste of time and money i will keep my flip 5 nice wright up keep up the good work
