PLEASE do not turn this into a comment on another thread! I am looking for direct answers or links to reviews which will not happen if this gets collapsed into another thread like other posts. This is not asking for feedback, I am asking about features. I have asked several phone stores but unless they have a flip they dont seem very knowledgeable on the difference between the 5 and 6. Samsung support suggests the fold and avoids the question. 

I don't see any really useful upgrades but im also not seeing a lot of issues addressed in reviews, so I wanted to ask directly about what features are different between the 5 and 6. The feature I most want which is s pen screen compatibility, I know is not a feature. 
A lot of reviews sound almost identical to the 5, and while I love the 5, buying the same phone but with more AI that I have to go out of my way to turn off, feels like a downgrade to me. I can't tell if im missing features for the 6 that were added or fixed simply because they aren't being advertised or reviewed. 

Did they add samsung music back to the cover screen like the z flip 3 had? 
Ive heard they took away the gif maker too, which I use a lot which is a bummer. I did hear about the bubble for samsung messages (which is great!) but i dont want to update my current phone and lose the gif maker lol. 

Thanks for the help!

@Tankard Some of the benefits of the Flip 6 over the Flip 5:

  • Brighter screen 2600 nits vs 1750 nits
  • Next generation of processors
  • Main camera went from 12 MP to 50 MP
  • Bigger battery

Thank you!
So its mostly smaller upgrades then? Definite improvements, but nothing crazy?

The only reason I'd upgrade is from the fact I'd be resetting the "hinge doomsday" countdown. That is, my phone has 4,000+ fold acuations, but a new model would have 0.

But even then, that's not a super huge deal with these newer models.

The upgrade is so minimal that in my opinion, I'd upgrade if the price cost me only double digits.

Also, the yellow flip6 is really pretty

I did because I wanted the AI but I ended up going with the Fold6 instead.
