Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 vs Samsung Z Flip4 Comparison - Is the Upgrade Worth It？

Hello, welcome back to a new video.

So today we're going to be comparing the

brand new Samsung Z Fold 6 to the

2-year-old Samsung Z Flip 4, which was my

old phone, and we'll talk about why I

decided to upgrade from the Z Flip 4 to

the Z Fold 6.

So as you can see, we've got the Z Fold 6

here.

Looks very nice, very nice foldable phone.

Big square screen, and then it folds in

half like this and basically becomes the

same size as the Flip 4.

Okay, so first of all, I first liked the

Flip 4 because of its portability.

As you can see, you can fold it in half

and it becomes this really pocketable

small device, tiny little square that just

goes straight into your pocket, and you

can just kind of forget about it as you're

out and about doing your daily stuff.

Now that's great and everything, but the

reason why I didn't like it is because the

screen, when opened, it is very long and

narrow.

So for example, if you're watching

YouTube,

if you're watching YouTube and for example

you watch a video, then the video is like

a very small tiny little square at the top

of the screen, and then you've got all

this space here which is basically wasted.

And I felt like watching YouTube on this

device is not a very nice experience

because it's just way too small at the

top.

Too much screen is wasted because of how

narrow the phone is, and I felt like even

though it's nice and portable, I would

like a bigger screen.

So I decided that this year I'm gonna get

the Fold instead of getting the Flip 6.

I wanted to get the Fold because, as you

can see, you've got this massive screen

here, and when you go onto YouTube, uh,

you've got this massive chunk of a screen

here where you can watch— it is kind of

annoying— where you can watch YouTube

videos on.

And it's this really nice device to

consume media and read stuff and look at

stuff, and it's just a much better viewing

experience than the Flip 4 was.

And yeah, you can fold it in half and it

turns into basically a normal size phone

which can be used just like a phone like

this.

And again, you've got the very tiny small

screen at the top because it does become

very narrow and tall just like the Flip 4

does.

So basically, in terms of size comparisons

It's basically the same shape and height.

It's as tall as each other, as thick or

wide as each other.

And yeah, so basically with the Fold 6,

you get the Flip 4 experience with this

size screen, but also the big screen.

Obviously, because it's a fold phone, it's

going to be bigger, and you can't— I mean,

it would be pretty cool if you could then

fold it in half again, and then you could

have the best of all worlds, but then it'd

be really weird to be like that thick,

wouldn't it?

That'd be so funny if you could fold it in

half and then fold it in half again, but

technology hasn't gotten that good yet.

So when it comes to battery performance,

we've got a 4,400 milliamp battery in the

Fold 6, which some people have been

whining saying it's not very big compared

to the previous Fold, but the Flip 4Z has

like a 3,700 milliamp battery, and then

the iPhone 12 mini

only has like 2,200 milliamp battery.

So compared to these 2 phones, the Fold 6

battery is massive, and I've been using it

all day.

I've been using it all day since 8 AM in

the morning, and it's currently 3 PM, and

I've only used 61%.

So I've got 40% left, and it's been 3 plus

4, it's been 7 hours.

There's probably another 7-ish hours left

in the day.

I might go flat battery around 10 PM if I

don't charge it.

So I've been using it quite a lot, been

making some videos, browsing, watching

YouTube, chatting, you know, normal stuff.

And yeah, I don't feel like the battery is

dying and needs to be charged desperately

yet.

I'm already at only at 40%, and I feel

like there's plenty of power left to go.

And yeah, the battery, I feel like it

could have been a bit better considering

the size of the device.

You'd think they'd be able to squeeze a

bigger battery into this thing, but no.

Okay, so next we have some benchmarks.

We're gonna run some tests.

We got the Fold 6 running CPU, running an

ARM ARMv8 CPU, and the Flip 4, it has a

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8th generation— I

mean, 8+ Generation 1 with 3 clusters, 4

cores at 2 GHz.

And you've got 4 clusters here with Yeah,

a bunch of cores with a bunch of

gigahertz.

And then the GPU, we've got the Adreno 730

on the Flip and the Adreno 750 on the Fold

6.

So I'm expecting the Fold 6 to be slightly

faster.

I don't know if Adreno 750 is much faster

than 730.

Okay, so I'm gonna run a CPU benchmark

now, see how long that takes.

It looks like it's going to take a while.

It's not even on 1% yet.

So as you can see, the Fold 6 has already

finished and the Flip 4 is still going,

69% there.

But we've got a score of 2080 on the

single-core score.

Yeah, 2080, and then 6071 on the

multi-core score.

That's pretty good.

And then you can see some details down

here.

We've got, oh, the Pineapple motherboard,

Governor Walt.

I don't know what that means.

Uh, single-core performance.

Um, I thought there's like a leaderboard

comparing other phones.

Maybe not.

Maybe it's some GPU one.

Okay, Flip 4 nearly finished, 81%.

It's so much slower.

This one was finished and this one was

still at like 40— no, 50 or 60% when I

noticed it finished.

It's nearly there.

Okay, we finished.

Oh my God, we've got 1,162 for the single

core and only 4,077 on the multi-core.

So the Fold 6 completely blows the Flip 4

out of the water.

Okay, next we're gonna do a GPU test.

Run GPU benchmark.

Hmm, quite interesting.

They are both at 11%, so it seems like the

Flip 4 is actually faster— 22%.

I don't understand why the Flip 4 is

faster than the Fold 6, because the Fold 6

has, what, Adreno 750, and the Flip 4 has

Adreno 730.

Okay, it's kind of weird, but the Flip 4

is finished and the Fold 6 is only halfway

done.

So this got a GPU score of 6021.

I have no idea why the Flip 4 would be

faster when it's 2 years old.

Oh my God, what the hell?

It just finished and look at the score!

What?

12,425!

That's double the Flip 4.

I thought the Flip 4 was going to be

better because it finished faster.

The Fold 6 took longer to finish, but it

just destroyed the Flip 4 with a massive

score of 12,425 versus 6,021.

That's pretty impressive.

I still find it funny the motherboard's

called Pineapple though.

So we've got, uh, 1 processor and 8 cores

versus 1 processor, 8 cores.

Looks like it's pretty much the same, but

there's 4 clusters on the Fold 6 versus 3

clusters.

And we've got memory,

10.9GB.

I think that's RAM.

And then this one has 7.11GB.

Qualcomm Snapdragon on both of them.

Device memory 3.55 versus 5.43, maybe

that's RAM.

Yeah, interesting how much faster it is on

the Fold 6.

I mean, it's slower to finish the test,

but it's more powerful obviously.

Okay, next we're gonna do some 3DMark

testing.

We've got this test called the Wildlife—

where is it?

Uh, Wildlife Test.

So just run both of those.

Where does it go?

Sideways.

See how these do against each other and

also against the most powerful phones on

the market.

I think the ROG Gaming Phone 8 Pro is

probably the most powerful phone out right

now.

Um, okay, so we've got a score of 7,049 on

the Flip 4.

Unfortunately, it says maxed out on the

Fold 6.

It says your device is too powerful, we

recommend using Wildlife, but I did use

Wildlife, so I don't know what it means.

All right, actually says here that my

score was 11,970 for the Wildlife score

and, uh, 7,049 on the Flip 4.

And there's loads of other tests, but I

can't be bothered to do them because it

takes ages.

I got this Steel Nomad Lite score thing,

and I got 1,283 on the Vulkan test.

And you can actually compare it to other

devices like— oh, look at this, ASUS ROG 8

Gaming Phone Pro got the highest score at

5,213.

But for the Nomad, where is it, Steel

Nomad I can't see it.

Wildlife test.

So my phone for the wildlife test, uh, for

the Fold 6, I think you got 11,900, but

the ROG Phone 8 Pro can do 18,478.

So the ROG Phone is pretty powerful since

it's a gaming phone.

I guess it makes sense.

And then next we'll have a look at the

cameras.

So with the Flip 4, you can do this cool

thing where you flip it 90— I mean 40— is

it like 90 degrees or 45 degrees?

I forgot.

But you can do this cool laptop mode like

this, and you can take photos holding it

like this, which is quite comfortable

instead of holding it like that, which

makes you look like you're obviously

taking a photo.

You walk around like that, take photos

like that, and I quite liked doing this.

So you can just take some shots like this,

or you can use it as a tripod and place it

like that and set it up somewhere and walk

off to take the photos.

Quite useful having a fold phone because

you can set it up like this.

Now the Phone Fold 6 phone can also do a

similar thing, but it's not as good.

I mean, it's basically the same where you

just fold it and prop it up like this,

and now you can just use it as its own

self-standing tripod like that.

And you can also do this thing where you

bring the viewfinder from there to down

here by pressing this button, and now

you've got a better angle at seeing the

photo.

So maybe you're like pointing this up and

you can't really see the screen anymore

because it's not easy to see.

Well, you can now see the screen on the

lower half of the screen, which is quite

useful to take awkward shots.

So yeah, you can use this as a tripod just

like the Flip 4.

Basically, the cameras are not that much

different.

I found So you can take like a nice big

photo of that

and then have a look at the results.

So yeah, that's the results, looks pretty

good.

And the results for that, I mean, it

basically looks the same.

I don't really notice any difference.

But the main good thing about the Fold 6

camera is that it's got a 3x optical zoom,

so you can do this

nice optical zoom, not digital, so it's

not cropping or anything.

It's It's just like a real physical

optical zoom, which is really nice to

have.

The Flip 4, on the other hand, doesn't

have a zoom.

It only has a digital zoom.

So you've got wide angle and you've got

1x, which can digitally zoom, and it's a

pretty good digital zoom.

It's good enough for most things, but in

low light and the closer you zoom up to

it, it will lose quality.

Also, when watching YouTube, you can do

this kind of laptop mode.

Obviously it works better with the phone—

phone, why do I keep saying phone?

The Fold 6 phone, because it's got bigger

screen, it's more like a laptop

experience, and you've got this control

center down at the bottom.

Same thing with the Flip, it's just

smaller.

It's like 3 times smaller.

You can fit— I don't know, no, it's just 2

times, 1 and then 2.

So it's like having a tiny little laptop

if that's what you want, and you can do

full screen like this.

So yeah, in conclusion, I like the Fold 6

more than the Flip 4, which means I would

probably like the Flip— I mean, I'd

probably like the flop— I mean, I probably

like the Fold 6 better than the Flip 6,

which is why I chose the Fold 6 over the

Flip 6, because having had a Flip 4, um,

there were things about the Flip 4 that I

just didn't quite like.

Like, the size of it is just too small to

be comfortable to do a lot of media

consumption and productivity.

You don't really feel very productive

using this tiny screen.

I can't see myself going back to a regular

phone anymore after trying out the Fold

because having this big screen is just so

much nicer.

Now you do lose out on the portability

because now it's going to be like a big

chunky phone in my pocket.

Oh yeah, I forgot to do the weight

testing.

I nearly forgot the weight tasting.

Okay, so for the Phone Flop Fold 6, we've

got 243 grams total weight, and then for

the Flip 4, we've got,

we've got 187.

So we've got a difference of about 50, 60

grams.

Yeah, like exactly 60 grams is the

difference between these 2 phones.

So you've got an extra 60 grams of weight

in your pocket you're not really going to

notice that.

The thing you will notice though is the

length of the phone sticking out of your

top pocket bit because you can't fold it,

fold it in half like you can with the Flip

4.

Okay, that's my video done.

Bye!
