Very good wireless earbuds.
on January 7, 2025
Posted by: JinMcD
Verified Purchase:Yes
These may be one of the best wireless earbuds on the market. The active noise cancellation is phenominal (though it does reduce the battery life a bit.) The sound is crisp and clear, the base is impressive and they feel pretty comfortable. (Though if wear these while you jogging or in the gym, I recommend getting some over-the-ear clasps to hold these firmly so they don't fall out!) No crackling/static like the gen 1 Air Pod Pros sometimes experienced and they have better battery life too. I'm not usually a huge Apple fan, but these work great with my Samsung phone and are cheaper than some of the other manufacturers. (Though you can't check the battery level on an android.) Pairs with no issues to my iPad too. Charges via USB-C, like everything else now, so no need to hunt down a lightning cable.

Compact battery pack.
on January 7, 2025
Posted by: JinMcD
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a pretty small battery pack that's easy to carry. It's lightbweight an easily fits in a pocket. It's a bit wider/taller that a credit card and about 1/4 inch thick. It's slightly bigger than the Energizer model from previous years. I like the LCD panel that displays the precise charge level, rather than the 4 lights of the old model that could only indicate a charging range of 25%. (1 light, charge level of 0% to 25%, 2 lights, 26% to 50%, etc.) This pack has 2 USB-C and 1 USB-A ports, all along the top. There's no more micro-USB on the side, nor a second USB-A, as with the past versions. Has a high enough capacity to fully recharge most phones with a bit extra left over. Definitely recommend.

M.2 WITH HEATSINK WILL NOT FIT!!
on January 7, 2025
Posted by: JinMcD
Verified Purchase:Yes
The unit is made of high quality materials and feels pretty sturdy. It's essentially an aluminum surround, with a plastic insert that slides out to hold the M.2 drive, then slides back in and locks in place. Comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB-C to USB-A adapter, instructions and a self-sticking thermal pad. ***NOTE*** This unit will only fit a SSD WITHOUT an attached heatsink. I recently upgraded to a higher capacity M.2 drive for my PS5 and got this unit to use my old drive in. Unfortunately, since the old drive has an attached heatsink, it was slightly too wide to fit between the internal brackets and was too tall to slide inside the aluminum outer housing. Will return and try to find another option.

Never pre-order new tech!
on December 3, 2024
Posted by: JinMcD
Verified Purchase:Yes
The good: this phone is compact, easily fitting in a pocket; the 50 mp camera is FAR better than the old 12 mp of previous generations, especially in low light; the inner display is bright and sharp, the outer display is very useful when answering calls/texts; the speakers are louder and clearer than last year's model; the battery life is noticeably improved from the Flip 4 and 5; the phone's 12 gb of RAM means the system and apps run smoothly, and the flat/textured frame allows for a much better grip than older versions; the hingle feels much more sturdy/holds in place better than the Flip 5.
The bad: black or white aren't color options; the back of the Flip 6 is matte metal, like the Flip 4, a step town from the glossy finish of the Flip 5. Even with the addition of vapor cooling, this phone still runs pretty warm in summer, though not nearly as hot as the Flip 4s or 5s got.
THE UGLY: This model has some SERIOUS manufacturing problems. (If you do an online search, there have been tens of thousands of complaints about this model.) After 4 months of normal use (NO DROPS, NO LIQUIDS, no gaming/heavy processing, kept in a case with a hinge cover), my inner/main screen would start responding slowly to touch, then not at all. Later that evening, the screen went black in the middle of a call. Tried to use a USB-C to HDMI/USB-A hub to connect to an external display, phone wouldn't output video or accept device input. Tried do a back-up of the phone with a laptop and another Samsung phone, but the USB-C port wouldn't transmit data So the USB port is malfunctioning too. Went to Samsung's website, which directed me to the nearest UBREAKIFIX store. The tech advisor said the issues is that the ribbon cable to the screen was mounted inside the hingle improperly, damaging the cable with every open/close and that the USB-C ports were defective. Unfortunately, since this is such a widespread problem, that this store, and all the other nearby locations, were out of the parts needed for the repair. (I live in a major metro area with a few dozen UBREAKIFIX locations, but none has the parts, it seems.) So after dropping a grand on a new phone, I'm back to using my previous one for the past 3 weeks. I've been using Samsung phone almost exclusively for the past 15 years, including the Flip 4 and Flip 5, and NEVER had an issue with any of them. I'm VERY disappointed in Samsung, especially since the Flip 6s are made in South Korea, their home country. Where's the quality control? They'd better not try to charge me $300 to fix their obvious manufacturing defects (as some people online have mentioned) or this will be the LAST Samsung product I EVER buy!

Great phone
on November 7, 2023
Posted by: JinMcD
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros: The Flip 5 has great battery life (better than the Flip 4 or the Galaxy S22)! The external screen is very useful for checking texts, the weather, calendar, etc, without opening the phone. (MAJOR upgrade from the Flip 4.) Get a phone case with a screen protector for the external screen, though...probably a good idea to keep this phone in a seperate pocket than your keys or change! The phone easily fits into just about any pocket and the indentation where the screen folds is noticeably shallower than the previous model. The usb-c port was also upgraded on this year's model and can be used (with an adapter) to output upto 4K video to a monitor/tv. The 5G, Wifi6e, apps and processing are all seem just as quick and reliable as other high-end smart phones. Cons: the cameras are basically the same as the Flip4 and are pretty mediocre. Low light/night photos from the main cameras and especially, the selfie camera, are pretty dim. (The cameras on my old Galaxy S10 took better pictures, especially at night.) The hinge where the phone bends was supposedly upgraded from the Flip4, but it doesn't seem to hold the phone open as strongly as the pervious model...it require less force to open/close, though that may have been intended as a feature? (I find myself accidently partially closing my screen if I move the phone too quickly in certain directions.) The external screen doesn't support full apps, only widget versions of some apps. There seems to be a bit of lag when taking some photos, but not others, not terrible, but noticeable compared to the Flip4 or Galaxy S22. When trying to access photos saved in the "Gallery" from Facebook or Chrome browser, there's a strange 1~3 second lag before your camera roll will display, which is irritating...that DIDN'T happen on the Flip4. Remains to be seen: The Flip3s and Flip4s had an issue with the factory-installed screen protector eventually bubbling-up and seperating from the screen at the bend after about 1 year of use...hopefully Samsung has corrected that issue. Overall, a great phone, but due to its few short-comings, best to buy this phone when it's on sale.
