Ignore the Galaxy S24 - Samsung makes its 'best' new phone way more affordable

range of Galaxy bendable devices continues to improve with Express.co.uk recently calling the new Z Flip 6 the firm's "best foldable yet". This call maker now gets a faster Qualcomm processor, better cameras, tougher design and is packed with intelligent upgrades via smart Galaxy AI.

That discount means you can grab the Z Flip6 for just £949.

It's still more than the S24 but that price isn't exactly a fair comparison as the standard Z Flip6 comes with 256GB of internal memory which is double that found in its non-bendable sibling.

There are some positives and negatives of switching to a flip phone.

On the plus side, you get a huge 6.7-inch screen that folds in half to make it easier to pocket.

Pulling the Flip from your pocket is still a crowd-pleaser - it's simply nice to have something a little different in your pocket rather than a big slab of metal and glass.

So what about the negatives?

The Galaxy S24 has a better triple-lens camera, it is still cheaper to buy and there are no question marks over its long-term durability.
