Couldn’t agree more!!! It’s dumb but I think they went with these colors to sort of match the Olympics logo - black and white are Samsung exclusives, blue, green, yellow, and silver. Pink (light red) is on the fold. Maybe they’ll release more colors for a FE?

[@paulhora5664]

I ordered the Flip 6. I have owned the Flip 3, 4 & 5. Every one had the same issue. At about 8 months the factory screen protector peels away from the main screen at the seam/hinge. Every one! Each time Samsung replaced the screen or protector under warranty. Every year I trade in my current model for the new one. It used to be about $100 and included free accessories. Now, it's about $400. I still ordered the Flip 6. New camera, battery, AI and software. We'll see if the main screen can last 1 year? I'm just addicted to the form factor. It is so comfortable to fold it up and slip it into my pocket!

[@MrRecapOnYoutube]

same

[@covenant_mog05]

same here with my flip3 the problem with screen protector is that it always detaches at the crease part after 8months to a year. I'm wondering if the screen protector should be two separate parts, the top half and the bottom half have their own separate scree and leave the crease bare. I'm tempted to buy a screen protector and cut it in half to do just what I described

[@davidmccarthy6061]

I'm at 11 months on my Flip 5 with no screen issue. I use it as designed and don't need to open it all that much, but I'm not a huge phone user either and just need to carry one. If you have a Flip but always open it maybe a foldable isn't best for your use case?

[@Farticuss]

I had the screen protector issue too but no Samsung dealer anywhere near me. So the prospect of replacing the protector was 2 weeks to ship it across country and back. That was a no go. Wound up buying a 3 pack off Amazon for $12 and they seemed to last about same.

[@treydrier3169]

It's actually not a big deal. It peeled off my Flip4 after about 7/8 months and it has not been a problem at all. The glass is so strong that I have no scratches whatsoever. I even dropped it a couple times. Again, no issues. Thus, the screen protector is pretty much worthless. I just upgraded to the Flip6 and looking forward to getting it. Should be any day now.

[@saturnotaku]

The bump to 12 GB of RAM as standard and guaranteed 7 years of software support has me tempted to switch from my iPhone 14 Pro. I'm not in a hurry to change, though, so maybe around the holidays if there's a good enough deal.

[@Thetechchap]

As someone who had the flip 5 I don’t recommend it if you’re heavy use also the battery run out quickly even not using it

Ain't nobody using a 7 year old phone. Nobody using a 7 year old flip phone either. 7 years of updates is moot and something that sheeple fall for. Smh. Tiny brain human.

[@andyH_England]

The Flip and Fold only gets six OS updates and an extra year of security updates. I agree that 12GB is needed on Samsung devices, and I argue that 16GB would be better future-proofing, especially on the Fold, which isn't an option.

I have a Galaxy Z Flip 5 I have been using it for my daily use, and I got no issues with battery life and more. And I have to say that Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a major upgrade for me because I love it so much especially I'm not upgrading to Z Flip 6 because it's the same baloney but different specs. So I don't even care about upgrading and the specs that they have inside the phone. I think the Z Flip 5 is number one.

[@treydrier3169]

I upgrade every other cycle. I have the Flip4 and just ordered the Flip6. But I agree with you, if you have the 5 there's little reason to upgrade to the 6 unless you want the seriously upgraded camera. But you might as well wait for the 7 at this time next year. It should be a much more worthy upgrade from the 5.

I've always wanted a Flip because of the portable form factor, but the weak cameras put me off. The upgraded cameras and battery in the Flip 6 address that, so I've just pre ordered. There's 10% off if you order via the Samsung Shop app, another 5% off if you pre registered interest before launch and I got £220 trade in on my 3.5 year old Galaxy S20, so a 512GB Flip 6 cost just under £800, which is not bad.

And if so, do you know approximately when you will be getting the phone to do your review? Thanks!

I still had my Galaxy Z Flip 3, so yeah, it was a good upgrade for me to go with the 6. However, even with the three I found a work around, so I could use all of my apps on the smaller cover screen. It's called sam sprung overlay service. It pretty much does the same thing that good luck does, but it came out before. Good luck. And it's not really affiliated with Samsung. It's kind of a after market app, but it does work. So I'm not going to complain. I'm still using it on my 6. As we speak, so I'm still going to check out the good lock to see if there's that much difference but. It is what it is. Something else I can tough out all the way. What is that bottom port on the right hand side of the Z Flip serious? On my section has one, it looks like an sd card slot?
