Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 6 has arrived, and despite costing $100 more, it feels like an incredibly iterative update.

    It makes sense when you factor in the development and maintenance cost. How many people have a desk with monitors, keyboard and mouse but don’t already have a more powerful machine they use there?It’s a high price to pay for the 1% of users that will ever try it.

          Would love to see that research that says women wouldn’t want a compact desktop enabled phone. Again, seems arbitrary when the majority of their S-Series since the S8 supports it
