Samsung - Galaxy Z Flip6 512GB (Unlocked) - Silver Shadow

I love galaxies already. This one is so cute! I haven't had it long so I'm not 100% educated on the new features but so far it's great! Plus the nostalgia that comes with it is so fun! I get so many compliments and interest when anyone sees me close/ open it. My only real issue is how quick the battery dies. I watch a lot of tv/ videos when I'm opening/ closing at work. That causes my phone to die quickly. It's easy to charge though, so no big deal! I love the camerab and how i can use the flip features as a "tripod". The front camera isn't the greatest but the back camera is top knotch and there's a "view finder " feature so you can see yourself for back camera selfies!

The good: this phone is compact, easily fitting in a pocket; the 50 mp camera is FAR better than the old 12 mp of previous generations, especially in low light; the inner display is bright and sharp, the outer display is very useful when answering calls/texts; the speakers are louder and clearer than last year's model; the battery life is noticeably improved from the Flip 4 and 5; the phone's 12 gb of RAM means the system and apps run smoothly, and the flat/textured frame allows for a much better grip than older versions; the hingle feels much more sturdy/holds in place better than the Flip 5. The bad: black or white aren't color options; the back of the Flip 6 is matte metal, like the Flip 4, a step town from the glossy finish of the Flip 5. Even with the addition of vapor cooling, this phone still runs pretty warm in summer, though not nearly as hot as the Flip 4s or 5s got. THE UGLY: This model has some SERIOUS manufacturing problems. (If you do an online search, there have been tens of thousands of complaints about this model.) After 4 months of normal use (NO DROPS, NO LIQUIDS, no gaming/heavy processing, kept in a case with a hinge cover), my inner/main screen would start responding slowly to touch, then not at all. Later that evening, the screen went black in the middle of a call. Tried to use a USB-C to HDMI/USB-A hub to connect to an external display, phone wouldn't output video or accept device input. Tried do a back-up of the phone with a laptop and another Samsung phone, but the USB-C port wouldn't transmit data So the USB port is malfunctioning too. Went to Samsung's website, which directed me to the nearest UBREAKIFIX store. The tech advisor said the issues is that the ribbon cable to the screen was mounted inside the hingle improperly, damaging the cable with every open/close and that the USB-C ports were defective. Unfortunately, since this is such a widespread problem, that this store, and all the other nearby locations, were out of the parts needed for the repair. (I live in a major metro area with a few dozen UBREAKIFIX locations, but none has the parts, it seems.) So after dropping a grand on a new phone, I'm back to using my previous one for the past 3 weeks. I've been using Samsung phone almost exclusively for the past 15 years, including the Flip 4 and Flip 5, and NEVER had an issue with any of them. I'm VERY disappointed in Samsung, especially since the Flip 6s are made in South Korea, their home country. Where's the quality control? They'd better not try to charge me $300 to fix their obvious manufacturing defects (as some people online have mentioned) or this will be the LAST Samsung product I EVER buy!

Used it for a month and the crease is still not too noticeable. I do thonk my google pixel took better photos
