Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip6 is still a fun smartphone, but it doesn't offer enough of a step-change from the Flip5 to compete with the new Motorola.

It’s a great time to buy a flip phone right now. Motorola smashed it out of the park with its Razr 50 Ultra, but despite its great cameras and stunning design, it was running the slightly lower powered Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Mobile Platform.
Samsung has packed the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform into the Flip6. That’s the same processor as the incredible S24 Ultra, and promises to power a lot of Samsung’s AI functionality.
Samsung has also listened to reviews of last year’s Flip5 and given this year’s phone better cameras, a bigger battery and a better IP rating.
With all those boxes ticked, can the Galaxy Z Flip6 lay claim to the best flip phone available right now? Sadly, I think it comes in behind the Razr 50 Ultra in my books, though it’s still a good device in its own right.
