People will ask you questions about it, and there\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with simply wanting a phone that just looks nice either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you buy a phone like the Galaxy Flip, you have to be ready to accept that it can do very little that your current phone can\u2019t already do. And in some important regards \u2014 battery life in particular, but also overall durability, camera quality, and features \u2014 it\u2019s almost certainly going to be straight-up worse than a comparable slab-type phone. You\u2019re always going to lose real estate for components and battery capacity in order to fit that folding mechanism.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1381351 js-lazy\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 vs Pixel 6\" width=\"1640\" height=\"924\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1640px) 100vw, 1640px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-3-vs-Flip-3-2-of-5.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-3-vs-Flip-3-2-of-5.jpg 1640w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-3-vs-Flip-3-2-of-5-280x158.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-3-vs-Flip-3-2-of-5-240x135.jpg 240w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-3-vs-Flip-3-2-of-5-479x270.jpg 479w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-3-vs-Flip-3-2-of-5-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-3-vs-Flip-3-2-of-5-796x448.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-3-vs-Flip-3-2-of-5-1592x897.jpg 1592w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/02\/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-3-vs-Flip-3-2-of-5-1200x675.jpg 1200w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fplugged%2F2022%2F02%2F24%2Fim-sold-on-the-samsung-galaxy-fold-but-i-say-skip-the-flip%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: The Flip 3 (left) vs the Pixel 6 Pro (right).
