[SAMSUNG GALAXY FLIP6 REVIEW]

The first few years of the flip phone revival were a wild ride. Samsung went from charging nearly $1400 for a lot of compromise in February 2020 … to asking just $999 for a flippin’ flagship in August 2021. That price tag stuck around through Flip 4, and held fast even when the Flip 5 debuted with its oversized cover screen last summer.

So it’s kinda strange that Samsung chose this year to add a C-note to the asking price, especially since there’s not much to the Galaxy Flip6 that seems to justify it. And for foldable freaks, it’s frustrating to find all the same speed bumps that prevent that cover screen from living up to its full potential.

But the improvements Samsung has included directly address the concerns of a more important target market: folks who want a flagship phone with a versatile camera, that’s easier to carry, without sacrificing durability or power. The Flip6 gets most of the way there – not with the fun irreverence of Motorola or the honeymoon-phase excitement of newcomer Xiaomi – but through little refinements driven by five generations of hard-won experience.
