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

    Still no Dex, makes no sense when the SoC and hardware are more than capable.

      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.

        They already implement Dex on their high-end phones, let alone their A-Series.

        Why support and test and promote something for your mid-tier and then decide not to do it for this one premium model.

          Presumably they have determined that the cost is not worth it, given the demographics of their customers. The Z-Flip seems to be pretty clearly targeted at young women - would they actually use a desktop mode in their smartphone?

            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
