Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
What does Jen say about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5?
For Jen, the Galaxy Z Flip5 is more than a success. The big cover display and the new processor make it practical for everyday use, and in her opinion the upgrade is worth it even from the Flip4. Battery life is not a knockout after the first few days.
Pros
- Beautiful, handy and high-quality device
- Big cover display: WhatsApp, Google Maps, Messages, YouTube and Netflix usable
- New Flex hinge: closes completely, 2 mm thinner, opens much more smoothly
- Fast processor like in the Galaxy S23 Ultra
- With Good Lock, significantly more apps on the cover display
Cons
- Battery: screen-on time about 3.5 hours at first, just under 4 hours after four days
- Noticeable heat in the first two days
- Back is smooth and slippery again, a case is necessary
- Officially only a handful of apps on the cover display

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
What does Jen say about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6?
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is a nice overall package with a good camera, AI features, a powerful processor and a solid battery. Compared to the Z Flip 5, the upgrade is only worth it for the battery and 50-megapixel camera, compared to the Z Flip 4 it definitely is.
Pros
- The 50-megapixel main camera can be used for selfies via the 3.4-inch cover display
- Trigger by hand gesture, built-in stand, autofocus for scene and person
- AI editing, Object Eraser, Interpreter, Circle to Search
- Good, sharp videos and little noise at night
- Slightly larger 4,000 mAh battery, more efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy
Cons
- No telephoto lens, only 5x zoom via the main camera
- Zoom photos do not come close to the Galaxy S24 Ultra
- Camera not comparable to the S24 Ultra, Pixel 8 Pro or Xiaomi 14 Ultra
- Interpreter translations are sometimes faulty
