I love your tea break segments. As an IT professional that has not dated in ages and recently started to do so i have been having a hard time being present. Thank you for the reminder! It helps, for sure.

[@jvtechtea]

Above all else, remember to take your time. We can't force being present, nor can we speed up the process of doing it. Mindfulness is an exercise and like any exercise it only gets better as we keep practicing it.

This is my first time trying a flip and so far I am thoroughly enjoying it. I am not a power user by any means. But with that in mind, I am finding this phone very practical for my uses. Being able to fold it down to a compact size instead of having a huge slab sticking out of my pocket always at risk of falling out is a huge plus for me. I’ve also noticed that I’m not inclined to go down social media rabbit holes as much as I would with candy bar large screen. My only concern being new to this is the durability of the hinge but I opted for insurance for reassurance. Samsung builds quality products so I hope it lasts me as I’m not hard on my phones. 😊

[@adrianstuart84]

Watched this on my flip 6 . I'm loving the phone i find the improvements worth it over the 5 especially the battery life

[@adekunleo.4114]

I have been a fan since the android authority days it's because of I started listening to the podcast

[@derikhancock1224]

I just switched to this phone. Love it!!

[@jakelam6647]

Enjoy your tea, Josh. My personal favorite is Monkey Pick Tie Guan Yin, which is a green tea blend.

[@hitenmitsurugi3225]

I wish I could do that one hand thing you did effortlessly.

[@uinnovell]

Opening the flip continously the way you do will eventually gets it scratch marks on the screen, ask me.

[@YanniEhm]

The only thing the Flip 6 has that I would love on my Flip 4 is the new hinge. The way I use my phone I have absolutely no use for the larger screen, and the only thing that would make my Flip 4 perfect is an AUDIO JACK, yes, it is necessary. I hate dongles and I have a few audiophile earphones and using them is annoying.

[@napoleon-sk5oc]

last year i thought the flip might be the device i would prefer over the fold and i did. i am a photographer and i like a camera phone in my pocket so i always have a camera. i knew the 6 would have an improved camera and it did, i look forward to next year, i prefer samsung and hope they copy/more moto features, ... the 6 operates very well and better than the 5 and i instantly can see the difference in photo quality in the work i do. i was an old Note fan and find the Flip a worthy work device in my studio and out in the field.

[@victormacharia6987]

Your tea breaks are amazing. If there's something powerful I have gotten from you is to be grateful with people and events in life. Do you still do real world camera tests?

[@U2haveanicedayty2]

Joshua Awesome Video and good for you it's called having a life.Enjoy your travel and enjoy yourself.Thanks so much for sharing.Always Enjoy.💯✌️

[@carlosh7166]

Great review as always you always knock it out the park

[@Simile95]

Very nice review, love the focus on user experience

[@moeza76]

The "Haruki Murakami" moment reminds me that I have one Haruki Murakami left unread. I need to finish reading it.

[@katzcassim]

Thank you for sharing this excellent video!

[@DrSleep00]

As a new owner of the zflip I agree with everything you said.i love your tea segments.Do you practice Mindfullness?

[@waffleisnice]

3:33 LOL I THOUGHT ITS MY PHONE 😂

[@andyH_England]

A solid flip phone for sure, but there are plenty of choices out there and not substantially different to warrant preference. I suppose better the devil you know and therefore Samsung fans will continue to upgrade their flip phones.

[@brpwns]

Great review !!!

[@christianfiguroa7147]

Just make the s24ultra flip with camera placement like the z6flip

[@Maochan81]

I like to have a kuchicha late afternoon. Due to the mixture of stems and leaves it has much less caffeine than other teas.

[@jvtechtea]

It's a fantastic tea, and the one I got is actually from Uji -- considered a birthplace of Japanese matcha

[@Maednc]

Not the clock/alarm sound. NOOOOOOOOOO! hahahaha

[@MrExBearPoker]

If we held apple to the same standards as Samsung they'll probably have a better phone. Samsung phones have so much that reviews seem like a time to complain about what they don't have instead of enjoying what they have accomplished. It's like we expect some huge change every year when that's not how technology works. Even in cars it doesn't work that way. Your home computer doesn't work that way. I know that's how you get clicks because people like to hear complaints so they can feel good for some reason. I just want to hear what they've done. Not complaining. Apple has had the same damn phone since 1999 and there's no uproar. Let's celebrate Samsung for at least trying to not give you the same product every year. Js

[@MrExBearPoker]

Btw I wasn't trying to use the word damn being upset lol I'm just stressing how long it's been and we're knocking on 2029 soon.

[@brando3424]

10:33 it's been a thing for a while. I believe it's native to one ui 6

[@jvtechtea]

I guess it's been long enough that I haven't used that many widgets, I didn't realize. Love it though

[@yungstud87]

Where did you get your tea steeper from?

[@KxNG_RxME]

Soooo we're not gonna link the gadget from the intro??? Lol

[@AcAlvin]

Meanwhile the new xiaomi flip, just wow. Samsung need to catch up to the competition.

[@Dattr85]

Dont open the flip with one hand like this guy please

[@danisaur47]

Watching this using a 1 day old flip 6. I traded in my flip 5 and added ~$650. Hopefully I just didn't pay for the same phone twice 😅

[@jvtechtea]

I think the trade in helps a lot with this year's phones -- as long as the result is comfortable for you, it's a worthy upgrade

[@mikeyellis4702]

You didnt

[@VerbalGenius09]

You can get this or the same iPhone for the last 10 years

[@brando3424]

We need Watch Ultra next....

[@Chets]

same same but different, no money no honey. xD

[@Thanoswasright97]

I got a navy blue fold 6 but now I’m thinking I should have bought a flip

[@brando3424]

Stick with the fold

[@nestorpujols2919]

I can def say having both that the Flip is much more fun.

[@techology7567]

No thanks I have z flip 5 as I will be waiting till z flip 7.

[@hermanwooster8944]

I thought I would love foldables. I hated it. I can easily see the crease and the inner screen is too delicate. To make matters worse, I don't get any benefits from it folding. It's a chore to do every time you want to use it.

[@davidp2847]

Considering trading my s24 ultra for this flip 6 lol

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it I guess. 🤷‍♂️

[@macberry4048]

I would like to know if I can answer the phone on speaker without having to open the phone and how easy is it to text messages with the phone closed or can I use voice recognition

[@jvtechtea]

All can be done. Calls answered when the phone is closed goes to speaker, and answering texts with the keyboard on the cover is a little cramped but definitely possible. Voice to text is available through the keyboard

[@macberry4048]

@@jvtechtea that's pretty much everything. The shirt pocket phone is back

[@Kat.2x]

how does z6 flip compare to razr+?

[@sarlndr]

That’s what I’m interested in. That Razr+ is calling me.

[@johnsecret1318]

​@sarlndr software is the biggest advantage of the flip 6.

[@sarlndr]

@@johnsecret1318 i figured but it seems like a boring phone. I tried them both out at the store. The Razr just feels better but I’m still torn.

[@johnsecret1318]

@sarlndr i don't know but the AI stuffs on samsung alone is fun and useful than the whole razr phone 😅

[@xay7ent.868]

I get it, but i just feel like the moto razr plus 2024 is the better phone. It just feels more innovative and just overall a better package.

[@mikeyellis4702]

And cheaper.. which of course means cheaper build quality

[@napoleon-sk5oc]

@@mikeyellis4702 its a moto

[@derikhancock1224]

Careful. I just traded my razr 2023 for the flip6. I ignored the warnings of Motorolas' lack of software updates and support. They are soooooo lacking in that area. After switching, the flip6 feels like a much better device.

[@sarlndr]

@@derikhancock1224 I’m so close to getting the Razr+ 2024. The lack of updates has me a tad bit worried. Still, it’s calling me.

[@LaurenKeenan-rv8up]

​@sarlndr I had the moto razr but traded to flip 6. Although the moto is cool and has the bigger cover screen, it's build was cheap and fragile and damaged easily. The software was glitchy and customer support very poor

[@knightofwind2929]

its too expensive for waht you get, wait one year and may drop to $7-800, which is more acceptable

[@jfoxindy]

I'm paying $314 + tax after trading in my flip 5 with all the pre-order incentives

[@carlosh7166]

Plus it also depends on what market your in the low end, middle of the road or the ultra/pro end
