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.
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.

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 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 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.
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 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!
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 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 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 got mine for 899€ in Black Friday and this really blasts the pre-owned Z Flip3 I had for few months. Never thought I'd ever lay my hands on such magnificent and amazing smartphone. Also the main reason why I went with Z Flip6 is that Adobe Lightroom Classic and latest Camera Raw versions has the lens correction profiles for the camera, a great advantage if I ever have to do photography with a smartphone instead of my Nikon D3100.
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.
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
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 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 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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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 📱.
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.
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'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
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 😢
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 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
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
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.
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.
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.
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..
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
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.
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!
I got this phone August 1 and the screen quit working September 21. I don't recommend this phone. 7. Weeks old and it's in the repair shop with a dozen others that ahead of me.
What's up? I've been with my Flip 6 since August. It's become my favorite phone. I love so much about it. I'm writing to see, what you're excited about in the Z Flip 7? Based on leaks etc. I think 3 cameras will be incredible, especially if there is a zoom.
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 UA-camr warns a customer about that shit.
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 😂
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.

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.
Damn bro just get a computer if you want all those crazy specs haha
Just kidding
What do you think about buying Z flip 3 in 2024? Can be found pretty inexpensive as refurb.
Heard its good
Do not over use while you charging your z flip 6 dude Samsung phones gets extremely hot you will have a swollen battery
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
What about the new razr?
I sincerely love your honesty and hit the subscribe button without hesitation
finnaly a youtuber that mains a samsung and not a iphone not saying that iphones are bad or something but i just prefer samsungs
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.
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?
I’ve never had a flip or fold phone, but I just ordered the flip 6. I’m hoping the flip function takes me out of my phone more
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'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
The sound it makes reminds me of closing a Game Boy Advanced. Would pay the extra money just because of that
Gameboy sp😊
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.
And now he’s swimming to a Pixel…
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.
Spoiler: he switched again.
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.
“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
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..
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
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.
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
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.
It's like the EV of the smartphone realm. $1100 today, Peanuts tomorrow. And for good reason
My z flip 5 only lasted 8 months.
Got screen protector lift and then had a line across my screen so got a s24 ultra and won't go back
If it has an apple logo on it, it would be worth 300 increase.
It'd be $2000 with no upgradable storage and lower quality hinges.
I have been a fan of Samsung for years. I have do say in this case I would not recommend getting this phone. I had mine for 2 months always cased never dropped or submerged. The main screen went out. Samsung had me take it to a local repair shop and they said the motherboard went bad. Sent it to Samsung and I got 3 stories. 1 email saying " phone is not repairable and is being shipped back" no further info. Story 2 called customer service phone can be fixed for 325.00$. 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!
I got this phone August 1 and the screen quit working September 21. I don't recommend this phone. 7. Weeks old and it's in the repair shop with a dozen others that ahead of me.
heading into yr 1 with the motorola razr. Was about $550 and dont regret one dollar. Definitely grabbing a 2025 version.
What's up? I've been with my Flip 6 since August. It's become my favorite phone. I love so much about it. I'm writing to see, what you're excited about in the Z Flip 7? Based on leaks etc. I think 3 cameras will be incredible, especially if there is a zoom.
Would like to get your opinions on the 2024 Motorola razor. The premium, not the cheaper one. If I’m not mistaken that one still starts at $1000.
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 UA-camr warns a customer about that shit.
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
main snapper at f2.2 is disappointing (vs f1.8 or f1.7 on other flagships)
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 🤷♂
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 😂
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
Austin, Z Flip or Razr?
Razr
as someone daily driving flip5, i think i wil wait for the nx iteration. the trade up promo doesnt justify the slight camera/batt bump
I had the first flip I loved it switch to iPhone 13 now the 16th is coming out but I do love the Z-fold. What should I do?
