[...] After that if i would fold my handy and open it back the display would stop working. [...] 1 Year later the display stopped working. Samsung refuses to repair the handy even it is a warranty case. So now i have a handy wich i can only use with the small screen on the outside. [...]
Ive had my flip 5 for 2.5 years and now when i fold the phone, it turns off.
My flip 6 screen started having glitches 6 months into ownership took it into a warranty shop samsung told us to go to and they voided warranty for no good reason other than its my fault so went through my insurance and got a replacement now its 6 months since replacement and same thing is happening once again.
1 YEAR AND 5 MONTHS EXPERIENCE: There are 3 of us in my house, each with our own Z Flip 6. [...] 3 identical phones with the same screen issue—they didn't even last two years. [...] The main screen protector lasts only a year, and we have to pay to replace it. The cost of the screen protectors goes up every year. We are very upset because it was really expensive and should have been a good product. [...]
Have my zflip5 since release, not a single problem with the display
I’ve had my Flip 6 for only 6 months and it just gave up on me. [...] My Flip 4 lasted about 2 years, and the last months were full of issues: bugs, poor battery, microphone problems, etc. And now the Flip 6, which is so expensive... [...] Since yesterday, the inner screen has gone black and I basically can’t use my phone anymore. [...]
I like my Galaxy Z Flip 6, had it for almost 2 years. Granted, it's not a conventional phone, but I have had Samsung phones since 2010, and only one of them was very short-lived (S9, apparently was some bug with the screen lock). All the others kept going, or are still actively functioning.
I've owned mine for about 3 years now (my Z Flip 5) and only just now had this issue. But it's so bad that I physically cannot unlock my phone or do anything lmao
After 1 year and 4 months, it sudddenly turned dead both inner and cover screen. [...]
After a 1yr of owning mines I have the bubble in the screen protector like him on the side its true skip it i hate this phone and want out of this phone
my phone is 1 year 3 month old... [...] Just yesterday the screen started glitching and no on seems to have answer to it. Display screen glitches and flicker. Its business phone and its really annoying to go through the issue of display glitches for just an year old phone. [...]
[...] I have had my flip 6 a year and a half now with zero issues. No noises with the hinge, the factory screen protector still perfect and it is still as good as the day I purchased. Did you try and get a replacement at the early stages of issues?
I had z flip 5 over 2 years.the built quality is garbage. Dont recommend it to anyone who wants to spend $$$$.
I have now owned my Z Flip6 for over a year and have no such issues. Nothing wrong with the inner screen or hinge, screen protector, no brick update, none of this.
It happened to me before one week🤦♂️I bought it in november last year,and didn't use it at all,opened ,checked if everything is ok,and start to use it this year in march...really disappointed in samsung because of this display problem. If i fix it,of course it can happen again?😏 As I understood you fixed it two times since last year?😬
My phone is now officially 1 year old! 12 hours screen time daily. [...]
Had mine for a year,no issues at all, so might be a faulty unit you had.
I've been using a Z Fold for the last 3 years, and its great. Having a big screen paired with a decent processor, ready in your pocket whenever you want it has been awesome. [...]
I've been in the, z-flip culture since the 3 (3 years ago now), I have the 4 now and I am looking forward to upgrading to the 6 next month.
The camera is one of the reasons I only went to the Flip 5 for like 6 months in-between S Ultras... and wasted $500. 😭
Thats why i decided to sell my z flip 6 3 moths after its release. It didn't feel as sturdy as my flip 5 and i had to get it fixed twice. Thats why i just went back to using my s21 ultra and haven't had issues since
6:23 i had the razor 2024 and it completely broke after just 1 drop from waist height. [...] Much better build quality. But after a little over a year the screen fold is significantly creased and there's 2 big pixel black spots in it. I'm looking to upgrade to the 6 (again used & refurbished on ebay for lower price) but if Motorola had gotten it together with their build quality I'd be open to giving it another shot.
I have my flip 6 over a year and my screen protector start to have bubbles in the middle where it bends
I had mine for a year and a couple of months. It did not break and I have dropped my phone many times. Yet I keep seeing people say their phones are broken but here I am with a completely pristine phone with zero issues whatsoever. [...] At this point get a childproof phone cause some of yall can't be trusted lmao, really sad 😂 I got my Flip 7 rn tho cause I traded in my Flip 6 for it. I miss my Flip 6 but the Flip 7 feels light weight in my hands and not too heavy, which I like so far! That was my only complaint with Flip 6 it was a lil heavy, but yea. [...]
My 1 yeae old z flip 6 no issues except my son hit it got a pixel that's always on my drint screen has micro scratches from taking cases off and on I do use a screen protector also scratch on inner screen even with the screen protector on my orginal one bubbled after a couple months.
[...] Not so much the battery life and camera. Picture quality is okay for me. I use it for a year. No issues or scratches. The hinge, inner display are in great condition. [...]
I've got the fold 6 from tmobile and my last Google play security update after rebooting is catering a mirade of issues, it self reboots itself gets a solid rainbow line across the screen as well as buzzing will also get stuck on the boot screen where it says Samsung security by Knox and my one ui 7 update didn't solve the problem either. Got a tmnt blemish on my cover screen so tmobile has no interest in honoring the warranty replacement and demands my $200 insurance deductible
i had 3 versions of them and had to go back to the glass screen. i can't freakin deal with the foil screen. [...]
I have one. [...] I don't have ANY issues you have described.
For the past few weeks my phone (galaxy z flip 6) was broken in a way where my inner screen was unusable, but I could (mostly) still use my outer screen for my phone. Now, after a UI update samsung pushed, I can't unlock my phone until I do it with the inner screen. Which is broken. [...]
So heres a update on the phone. [...] Suddenly i hear a big bump and remember my phone was on the car roof. [...] not a god damn single scratch on the fold?!! I have a cheap silicone cover on it and yes it is thick. But my phone fell from a car roof onto asphalt. [...] And not a single scratch or hinge problems. [...]
My Flip 6 has been awesome. [...] I've had it since July 2024 without issue since the initial warranty repair. [...] Battery life has been really good. All day battery with usually 25% left. [...]
Battery life like every other Samsung device is TERRIBLE. My Flip 6 lasts a maximum of 17 hrs with little screen on time, maybe 2 hours tops. Samsung are done their batteries are old tech and have lost their way to Chinese tech
[...] Maybe I'm lucky but I've also had flip 6 since release and it's been a great experience for me. I've used the $30 Samsung case for it and after quite a few drops and a TON of flips and closes the phone is still in GREAT condition. I purposely waited till the 6 as the previous models had worse build quality(the main point I disagree with. Previous models broke much quicker) and actually came from the moto razr 5G which had a better front screen but worse everything else. I'm pretty sure I've had a better experience than the reviewer with this device but this review is very valid. Im pretty sure the only problem I've had is dust in my charging port which is normal. BTW reviewer if you think the update times on the flip 6 was bad you will not like Motorola update times.
I don't know if anybody has touched on this, but the charge port on my z flip stopped working. I had to replaced by ubreakitifix, but the new replacement port did not fix the issue. I had my z flip 6 since it came out in July of last year after going from an iphone 12, but I noticed the port had issues in January of this year. Since I had a samsung warranty on the phone, they said i had to mail it in so that they can fix it. Since I will be out of a phone for a few weeks or more, I thought they may either spring a surprise bill on me or say I have to get a replacement z flip6. [...] As for the z flip7, i thought about going with that as an upgrade, but I thought it would have the same issues as the flip6.
[...] she updated to one ui 7. [...] no one catched this bug? [...] You know when a phone overheats due to incompitence... Her phone it's main screen just stopped working. [...]
I've been using flip 4 since 2022, no issue, not even I updated in ONE UI 7.
[...] I've owned the last 3 flips (4-5-6) and never had issues that bad lol. My flip 6 is as good as new. I've also never had a software issue either, strange. [...] Weren't you in warranty either way?)
Cool video. I just got a used one for less than 600 cas and couldnt resist. I'll keep an eye out. Not lots of reviews on this phone after ao long so really appreciate it
I got mine for 899€ in Black Friday and this really blasts the pre-owned Z Flip3 I had for few months. Never thought I'd ever lay my hands on such magnificent and amazing smartphone. Also the main reason why I went with Z Flip6 is that Adobe Lightroom Classic and latest Camera Raw versions has the lens correction profiles for the camera, a great advantage if I ever have to do photography with a smartphone instead of my Nikon D3100.
I switched from Apple iPhone to Samsung Z Flip6 and Im Happy 🎉greetings from Switzerland 😊
Thr flip has been handy for me to save space and battery for long walking or biking days. [...]
Interestingly, even tho you say that this is the first z flip with a good camera, the z flip 4 that i owned had the best main camera i have ever seen on a smartphone. [...] and the nighttime/star photography performance was on another level. [...] and for the record, (besides resolution) the main camera would do better than the s23 ultra i now own in any situation, no questions asked.
I got $1,000 trade in on my s22 ultra so i got the z-flip for $100
I have the flip 6 and maybe because I'm old school but I like the sound of closing the phone. Kinda takes me back
Really big Flip fan I had 3, 5, & now 6. New one feels more quality from 5, losing the crease to me was a major upgrade.
I've been rocking the OnePlus open for months, and I feel like that phone really addressed the crease better than any Samsung phone has done to date. If swiping across the crease has the risk of knocking my finger off track then I have no interest in that phone
I switched from a s23 to this flip 6 and I'm enjoying it. Still has some questions on camera department but I believe it will be a good trade off
[...] It has durability. [...]
My biggest gripe was not with the higher price but the absolute sht trade in values this time around. Sure hope they rethink that next year.
