Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 one year later: Tiptoeing in the right direction

With the Galaxy Z Flip 7 launching soon, I thought I'd take a look at how the Galaxy Z Flip 6 has aged since it launched a year ago.

And while the One UI 7 upgrade was woefully delayed, the update doubled down on changes with a revamped quick settings/notification panel, live notifications, a new Now Bar, and a redesigned multitasking view. It would be great if we could see these features integrated out of the box for current and future phones, especially a 2x button and Auto HDR, allowing Galaxy Z Flip 7 owners to get the most out of their cameras. Furthermore, Samsung's decision to avoid placing the cameras on the cover panel results in an awkward screen shape, and the experience of using apps feels a bit claustrophobic.
