I'm using the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and wondering if I should upgrade my own Galaxy Z Flip 5 to it. Here's why I'm deciding not to.
Last year I bought the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and continue to enjoy the phone, even when I’m not “flipping” it in the way Samsung would probably prefer. I’ve been using its successor, the Galaxy Z Flip 6, for the last week and have already been impressed by the camera alterations — but has it been enough to tempt me into an upgrade?
Now that I have been using the Z Flip 6 for a week, was I wrong to ignore it? Yes, in that I really love the convenience of such a small, folded-up phone. It is far less annoying to have in my pocket than other big-screen phones, and it takes up less room in my bag yet still delivers the same experience as any other phone with a 6.7-inch screen. But both you and I know this already, and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 doesn’t change this much at all compared to the Z Flip 5.
Battery life and more features While I still only get about one-and-a-bit days from the Z Flip 6’s battery, which is about the same as the Z Flip 5, there are some possible slight efficiency improvements that may change this performance for others. For example, a 30-minute YouTube video at 1440p resolution and full brightness takes 5% from the Z Flip 6’s battery and 8% from the Z Flip 5.
