All the differences between the Flip 6 and Flip 5 here:

[iamGermaican]

Newer processor, better cameras, larger battery, and a better ip rating. Are people expecting the phone to fly? What’s wrong? I tried the flip 5 and returned it. Samsung improved the issues that caused me to return. I’m not upset that it can’t fly.

The cooling chamber is the main improvement that's giving it extra hours of life. This is why OnePlus phones are so good.

I switched from Apple iPhone 15 plus to the Samsung Z Flip6 and Its Great 🎉greetings from Switzerland 🎉

I pre ordered the flip 6 due to a degraded battery on my 5 and more ram and better chipset plus the cooling and upgraded camera makes it worth it

[MarksTech]

Samsung never stated that its lighter. their website shows the same weight.
the brightness on the cover screen is also the same across the two models. the only difference is that the flip 6 has a brighter inside display.

One most important thing none off you reviews never said or mentions off is. The battry burn 🔥 the screen hot during screen usage. It probaly hot 🔥 enough to cuase north pole to melt to Deserted land.

I wasn't gonna pull the trigger based on the specs alone since the trade in pre order isn't as good this year. But then they brought one of these into work and I got the hold it. It feels just so much better and more solid like a fine finished product than the flip 5. That's what pushed me over to order it.

Flip 6 looks finally decent now, we finally got out of the beta testing stages, thank goodness, apologise for all the previous flip users

[joshuaartetagonzalez]

The things they improved are exactly the points we needed them to improve. Well done, Samsung. Definitely worth the upgrade from the 5, in my opinion. Those things that they did not improve (i.e., charging speed) didn't seem to be a priority for Flip users.

Will be flipping over to the flip 6 from an s24u.

Ive been wanting a flip since launch but always preferred the better specs of the ultra line. Now that it matches the s24u cpu, ram, and storage happy to trade in my s24u.

Just hoping the smaller and low res cover display, lower resolution main display will mean it matches the s24u battery performance.

Im able to go around 18h from 100% to 20% moderate/high usage bluetooth and wifi etc witht the ultra.


Another reason was the s24u line displays were fucked. Had three s24u all Grainy and the three faint bars when displaying low brightness content and apps.

Also excited to use the little display to change music check notifs etc while on commute

Although some welcome changes, these battery, display and camera improvements should have been with us a few years ago. So, I am not that excited, unlike some YT creators and influencers. The price increase negates any feeling that the specs are now in line with what they should have been. I suppose it will please diehard flip fans.

Upgrading from S8 2017, I can't wait :)

[worstusername]

Flip looking like a better deal than fold now

[kermittherunner]

What about the over heating ? I've been having a lot of issues with overheating on the flip 5, sometimes I can't even open the camera to take pics

[MrHowlforever]

Thats good enough for me. Samsung said what people wanted from a flip 6 was a bigger battery. Brighter screen and honestly thats enough for me to upgrade. Glad to see its a lot better in tests

[gabrielgranell]

Im getting the Flip 6 after using a Note 20 Ultra for a year now (pre owned). Its a downgrade in some areas but honestly I want an interesting phone that is not a brick 😅. Its 2024, time to embrace whatever wacky tech comes instead of sticking to whats known

[joywebb]

I'm still on the fence if I'm going to upgrade my five or not I don't know I would love to see the photo quality compared to the five and maybe that'll persuade me a lot more

[JoeRussellProductions]

I just got my flip 6 today. I was curious to see the difference in speed when processing a 4 minute HD video that I edited in Adobe rush compared to my flip 5. I was surprised that both phones took the exact same amount of time. Approx 1 min. Any idea why my 6 was not a little faster?

[ytnb]

nice improvement, I'm thinking of upgrading just for battery
