Are you guys worried about the flip 6 durability ? I've heard so many issues with the earlier models (even the 5) of the screen just cracking and not lasting.
I've had my Z fold 4 for 2 years, my inside screen just died with a black line down the crease, and the touch function is gone, lucky I didn't open it very much or it would probably have lasted for only one year, was going to get the z fold 6 and trade the fold 4 in but it broke a few days before sending it in, if I didn't open it today to show my mum a video, the guys at the trade in center would've been the ones the phone broke for when they opened it to test it.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has seen several notable physical improvements compared to its predecessors:
1. Durability: The Z Flip 6 features a more refined and durable design, including a completely flat Aluminium Armour frame with a matte finish. This change enhances the phone's resilience and gives it a premium feel.
1a. Durability Enhancements: Samsung has worked on improving the durability of the paint to prevent issues like peeling.
2. Thinner Profile: When folded, the Z Flip 6 is slightly thinner than the previous model, making it more compact and easier to carry.
3. Display Improvements: The crease in the foldable display is now less noticeable, providing a smoother and more seamless screen experience.
4. Camera Upgrade: The main camera has been upgraded from a 12MP sensor to a 50MP sensor, offering higher resolution and better photo quality.
5. Battery: The battery capacity has been increased to 4,000 mAh, which is 7.5% larger than the battery in the Z Flip 5. This, combined with the efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, should improve battery life.
These enhancements make the Galaxy Z Flip 6 a more robust and user-friendly device. Are you considering getting one?
Bought the phone less than 4 months ago during the pre-order, highest 512GB spec.. Yesterday 18/11 the inner screen just out of a sudden couldnt be used, still showing something but touch functionality was dead..
An hour later, started to show static then eventually just black.. outer screen still usable.. the phone has always been within a case and never being abused or dropped from a height..
Hard reset everything did not work, outer screen started to turn black from time to time and inner screen is completely unusable..
Went to Samsung Highpoint yesterday, they asked me to book an appointment and did not bother to serve me at all.. Booked an appointment and then went back today to essentially 'dropped the phone at the reception, signed on a tablet and leave'..
Guy told me the turnaround time to fix is 4 business days.. and if they cant fix, I can opt to have a VOC to either have it replaced like-by-like, or full refund, but the whole process takes up to 2 MONTHS!! And I asked the guy, will i be left without a phone for 2 months, and he literally said 'YES, IT IS YOUR CHOICE', then apologised saying 'I am only telling you what I am told to tell you' .. What a bad service from Samsung.. I have had 4 previous Samsung phones and never had issues until 'curiousity kills' trying this Flip phone with such a crappy quality and broke in less than 4 months.. Not gonna go back to any foldable or flippy phones anymore in the future.. Bad product, bad service
Ive owned the flip6 for about 8 months now. no real issues with the phone until a few weeks ago the inner screen was lagging when opened. a bit irritating but nothing wrong. The lagging seemed to get worse as days progressed. Worked with Samsung Support a couple times but didn't seem to resolve the issue fully. About a week later the screen wouldn't turn on when opened without a soft reboot. about 3-4 days of that... the screen went black indefinably. Samsung support sent me to repair center, but while at the repair center the claim was denied by Samsung as the black screen is from 'hinge damage' because of 3-4 sand size specs on the hinge. Be for warned - Don't rely on Samsung warranty unless your case 100% protects your phone. My phone has been in a case (with a hinge cover) since I purchased it, and I never seen those specs until I went to pickup my phone from the repair center and they showed me why the claim was denied. Black screens are VERY common and (per the repair center) unless the phone is visually perfect they will deny the warranty claim.
