Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

A camera and battery upgrade that finally feels mature. Multiple users highlight noticeably better cameras, especially video, plus 12GB RAM and improved battery life compared to the Flip 3-5 generations. Several long-time Flip owners upgraded specifically for these gains and reported high satisfaction. However, one commenter warns the main camera overheats and shuts down after about five minutes of continuous use, and another disputes the megapixel and detail claims in camera comparisons.

The cover screen is loved and hated in equal measure. Many commenters criticize the cover screen's limited functionality, absence of Google Assistant, poor YouTube support, and difficulty confirming two-factor authentication while folded. Others frame these same limits as a positive, saying reduced cover-screen capability encourages less phone usage and protects the flexible main display from extra wear. Some cite competitors like the Razr+ or LG Wing as having superior secondary-screen implementations.

Durability, repair costs and pricing remain sticking points. Several users report cracked hinges, crease damage, screen flickering, or overheating issues, sometimes requiring costly out-of-warranty repairs or leading to switching brands entirely. Slow charging speed is repeatedly called out as a persistent, unaddressed weakness given the price. Price comparisons to the cheaper Motorola Razr recur often, with some buyers choosing Razr instead to save several hundred dollars.
