As some of you may know, I got the wonderful opportunity to test the Z Flip 6. Which I will say I have really been enjoying.
It did slightly put a little more chub to the face, or quite a bit more.đ
Again a really big thank you to the members comunity team and@Lucyc for this opportunity.
Where do I start, for a small compact device it certainly has a lot jammed into it. You could spend hours customising this phone to your liking. That is what I like about samsung devices. You also have even more options with the good lock modules. Multistar module let's you enable launcher widget for the front cover screen. Which works really well. Although it would be nice to close apps from the cover screen. Once you open Apps they remain running in the background until you have opened the flip to close apps. If I have missed a way to close apps within the cover screen, do let me know.
What benefits the Flip6 is its flexibility and its compact size. You can sit the Flip in flex mode and watch videos. I know it's a very small screen to watch content on while in flex mode but less disturbing for others at night if asleep. Having the ability of a mouse track. Ok, is it needed on such a small device. Why not, it can be handy. Especially if you want hands free. If you get pins and needles often from having to hold heavier devices, the Flip is perfect.

It's certainly watchable in flex mode and hands free. The flip is also great to use at night. Unlike my heafty tab s9 ultra that typically blinds my other half who is trying to sleep. Paired with the buds 3 pro I'm not disturbing no one from sleep.
We all know that the Z Flip6 has no Dex. I have come to discover if you enable developer options. There is a setting force desktop mode.
Toggle this on and you can get a Dex like experience with the Z Flip6. Which is a bonus for the Dex users.
Nearer the time of just recieving the Z Flip6 to test. I visited my parents. I was excited to tell them I was chosen to test the Flip6. Both my mum and brother turned round and said, shame it wasn't the Z Fold 6âšī¸. Ok, so i know what foldable interests them more. What's wrong with the Flip, it's compact, meaning light and easier to carry around. Anyway, whilst we carried on chatting, my dad was glued to something on the tv at this point. Checking some of the latest AI features Portrait mode, it was laugh as my partner said, I'm not that chubby in the face.
Unfortunately when it came to my brother's sketch portrait, it kinda got it right. No laughs with this one.
Ended up moving to interpreter, where I mention to put it in flex mode. The translation comes up on the cover screen. So I put the phone in flex mode. My dad pipes up like he's surprised, does that phone fold.
Yeah, we all just laughed.
Honestly, where has my dad been. All i can say is. Now he's retired he needs to get out more. Overall it's nice to have the new AI features. Definitely useful. When it comes to drawing assist, sketch to image. It can certainly change your very poor finger sketch to something pretty amazing. Here is a few of my favourites.
I would really like to know what other's think. As some may know i recently started drawing with the s pen. Using samsung's PenUp app and I do also upload my drawings in the app. I will say if I posted one of these sketch to image which is AI generated. I will get a lot of hate from many. Why? Because it is AI and not drawn by myself. So in a real artists eye's it's not talent or skill. Which i can understand, but I can also understand how AI can help beginners or even very skilled artists with their work. We all know that AI can do harm if in the wrong hands. Also good in the right hands. Be great to know what your thoughts are on this. AI is coming to the PenUp app, some are unhappy about this, but I do believe it could help many beginners within the app for sure. I'm not fully against AI. When you see people posting AI images from Google and get praise for this being their own work. I can understand others frustration on this.
The Z Flip6 how does it compare to my S23 ultra. I love both devices, both phones have there benefits. The Z Flip6 wins best compact device for me. Small but still has a great size main display. The only thing is when I pick the s23 ultra up, I do prefer the screen size but certainly not the weight. The Z Flip6 I think has to be the most comfortably device in hand I've used in years. The easiest phone to answer a call. Just flip it open, close to end. Although that has been made easier on devices now, where you don't need to swipe and now can tap to answer call with a new recently added setting. Again thank you@Glenntech for sharing this new setting findđ. The only 2 main things I have missed is the s pen and zoom. I could certainly see myself buying and using a Flip. I have much enjoyed using this device. Will certainly miss it when it goes back. I will stop with this post for now. Still have more time to cover more on the Z Flip6 until my testing has timed up. More photo's to come in the next few months. I have linked my other posts on the Z Flip6 for anyone interested.
@Fiona26: A wonderful, hands on account of the Galaxy Z Flip6, which I'm sure will be useful to people who might be interested in picking one up, but aren't too sure how it stacks up against our other flagship models. I loved your dads reaction to seeing it flip open, but this is exactly the response we want, as it truly is a feat of modern technology in my eyes. Some brilliant examples of AI generated content as well. Looking forward to hearing more as you continue to get acquainted with all the Flip6 has to offer. 
Good to more about your experiences/observations , the Flip certainly has its plus points even if it would not be my first choice. I think I think the Ai features are a positive development though casn be used inappropriately. Some fun results
