Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 5G, 12GB/512GB

The Flip 6 is the first foldable of its shape that stopped asking you to compromise for the form factor. Samsung finally put a 4000mAh battery and a 50MP main sensor in it, which were the two complaints that kept sensible buyers on a normal slab phone.

Specifications

• 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display, 120Hz
• 3.4-inch Flex Window cover screen — reply to messages, take calls and shoot with the main camera without opening the phone
• Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy
• 12GB RAM, 512GB storage
• 50MP wide with OIS, 12MP ultra-wide, 10MP front
• 4000mAh battery, 25W wired charging, IP48 water resistance

The part people underrate

Folded, it disappears into a pocket or a small bag in a way no 6.7-inch phone does. If you have ever stopped carrying your phone because your outfit had no pocket deep enough, that is the actual pitch — the flex-mode camera tricks are a bonus.

Buying one in Nigeria

This is a brand new, sealed unit with full band support for Nigerian networks. The crease is visible at an angle and invisible head-on; that is normal for the design and not a defect. The screen protector on the inner display is factory-applied and should be replaced by a service centre rather than peeled off at home.

We test every unit before dispatch and stand behind it afterwards. Pick up at our Lagos shop, or order for delivery to Abuja, Port Harcourt and everywhere between. If you are weighing this against the Flip7, message us — the honest answer depends on your budget, not on which is newer.
