Samsung - Galaxy Z Flip6 256GB (Unlocked) - Silver Shadow

Excellent phone! They've greatly improved the build quality compared to previous models, but the quality assurance still needs improvement. I'll list a few pros and cons. Over-all I would recommended it if the user is willing to take an expensive risk and try something new. Get the protection plan! Pros -Screen is super bright and crisp -Vapor chamber does wonders for heat. I've only felt it get warm while charging and during a very long google meets video session. -Squared off sides and design feel very premium. -Processor is incredibly snappy. If I shorten the animations using developer settings, it easily outpaces my iPhone 15 Pro. I can get stuff done faster on this device. -Cover screen is fun to use. Great for selfies and doubles as a mini video player when I want to drift off to sleep without the TV on. There are so many creative ways to use it. -Cameras are WAY better this go-around. In combination with the folding design, this might be the best selfie phone in existence. If frequently surpasses my iPhone 15 pro's camera quality. -Battery life is much improved compared to the 5. I had an S24 Ultra and they lasted nearly the same with the ultra maybe having 10% more juice at the end of the day. Cons -Durability and QA are still questionable. My first Z flip 6 had a screen that popped every time I opened it. I returned and got a new one. No issues so far. -Samsung Care + is expensive and there are questionable stories about Samsung's repair policies. You have to stand by your product and its faults. -Cover screen limitation 1: It needs more widget support from other app developers. If you're like me and primarily use google apps, you're going to be disappointed. Almost every widget is based on Samsung's proprietary apps. -Cover screen limitation 2: Launching apps from this screen is still a beta feature buried in the settings. Even worse, there's only a few supported. You have to download GoodLock to bypass this limitation which is a ding against the user experience. Samsung... just allow every app by default in the settings menu. -Cover screen limitation 3: It's locked at 60hz and is much lower quality than the main screen. For a 6th generation device, this should have an LTPO panel by now and refresh down to 1hz. This would improve AOD and battery life. -Resale value is REALLY BAD. Once you buy a foldable, you're locked in unless you find a Samsung or carrier trade-in deal.

First impressions of the device is I really like the design. I skipped the Flip4 and went straight. Who actually asked, give the Flip4 and 5? Hey, wait for the 6. So this iteration is all brand new to me, so this is gonna be one of those type reviews where it is all new. Despite one of the other YouTube reviewers are saying This is all new to me, second. I actually like the build. Quality of the device it's solid. I like the way it feels just like the samsung galaxy s twenty four, which I had the s twenty four plus and it was a great phone in my opinion. This year, Samsung decided to add a vapor chamber in the flip 6 so it helps with the cooling of the device. But it still gets a little warm if you really want to rock this phone without a case as to how I'm doing with the device. So far, I had a case, but I went ahead and decided to take the case off and rock it as it was intended. So it, you know it does get a little warm only when using android auto with this device. Here's a quick rundown of the specs for the nerds out there The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is a foldable smartphone that has a 6.7-in screen, 50 MP rear camera, 10 MP front camera, and 4,000 mAh battery. It also has 12 GB of RAM, a clock speed of 3.39 GHz, and a pixel density of 425 PPI. The phone is available in 256 GB and 512 GB storage options. I have not had any issues with studdering

Had it for a few weeks now and it has been really fun! Nothing mind blowing, but I love how it fits in my pocket so easily and it is also super light compared to my 23 ultra. The crease is fairly noticable if your brightness is lower, but it doesn't bother me.
