t's the top of line when it comes to foldables so if this wasn't a winner nothing would

'But can you see the crease?' is what I always end up asking myself when I ponder the new generation of flip phones. That you can even fold over a screen at all strikes me like something out of science fiction - however, this section of the smartphone market always came with the slight whiff of gimmick.

You can still see the crease when you open up the screen but once you're watching, say, a video it even in nonmal use you are not going to notice it. When folded, the phone transforms into a compact square shape, easily slipping into pockets or bags. Storage options range from 256GB to 512GB, but there’s no microSD slot, so users need to choose wisely based on their needs. The Z Flip 6 runs on Android 14 with Samsung's One UI, offering a pretty refined experience with useful features like Flex mode, which allows the phone to be partially folded and used hands-free for activities like video calls or watching content.

Battery life is solid, with a 3,700mAh battery that lasts a full day with moderate use, including streaming, gaming, and social media. While it’s not class-leading, it’s on par with other models. The 25W fast charging feature gets you back up to 50% charge in about 30 minutes, although wireless charging is limited to 15W.

It's a missed opportunity but I can only imaging that Samsung's promise of seven years of major Android OS updates means there are plans to make more use out of it.
