Samsung Galaxy A15 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 5G
Our Verdict: There's 9 years between the Galaxy Z Flip6 5G and the Galaxy A15, so the Galaxy A15 is ahead on most things. The A15 has the better camera on paper, 50MP versus 12MP, and only the Z Flip6 5G is a 5G phone; the A15 maxes out at 4G. The A15 has the bigger battery of the two, 5000mAh against 4000mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the Z Flip6 5G has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 6.5" and sharper at 426 PPI. If you're on the Z Flip6 5G, the A15 is a real step up, but only worth it if the changes above matter to you.
If you'd rather pay up front, the A15 is the cheaper buy at £105 SIM-free.
