Galaxy Fold 6: Two Weeks Later: A Lifestyle Story

[@kavinab6629]

Upgraded from a fold 5 and absolutely loving the feel and experience of the 6

[@DavidAVelez1]

Awesome to hear! I can definitely see why it may be a tough upgrade for some, but the Fold 6 genuinely is better as a whole (which it should be haha)

[@Phoun]

David, another gem of a review. Haven't upgraded from my s22U but still love watching all your reviews. The fold 6 is the first phone in the series that looks really good and refined.

[@MikeBass08]

I just upgraded from the S22U to the Fold6 and it's been a revelation. At least for my usecase it's like using something entirely new. 🤩

[@fchaabo]

I am always thrilled to see your reviews about the Galaxy Z Fold series. The way that you disect the usefulness of the phone and stitch in your opinions along with your amiable character, in addition to the top notch production quality of your videos, leaves me feeling like I'm watching a much awaited episode from my favorite series. Keep up the professional and awesome work! I also trust your judgment because you are a real heavy user of the Z Fold series for both personal and business needs. Let me add by saying that what I respect in Samsung is that they have already brought (and will further bring) nearly all of these Galaxy AI features to older Fold series such as my Z Fold4. This way, we customers who have paid a premium price still feel like we are valued for our investment and loyalty.

[@hawkmankt]

Yeah, I went ahead and upgraded from the 5 to the 6 myself. I've promised myself that's it for a bit though. I went from the 4 to the 5. No issues at all with the 5, but plenty with the 4. I'm crossing my fingers the 6 is just like the 5 as far as dependability. I am not remotely sorry I upgraded again though. Incredible device. Great video...again.

[@smedic01]

Great video and comparison had the Fold 4 and upgraded to fold 6 wow what a difference, love the boxy frame and it is now close to perfect foldable in my eyes.... Lot more real estate ..

[@DavidAVelez1]

Yes! The extra real estate on the front display and the feel of the inner display is great. I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😁

[@khalilsstories]

Great review bro! Im sold!!

[@Nuggie879]

Thank you for posting. I really enjoy your videos.

[@emanuelneiconi]

Great, fair review! I agree with all you've said. It's a great refinement over the 5 and not a complete change. While on paper the changes are minor, to me, experience-wise the 6 is much better. For those who haven't experienced a folding device or are upgrading from a 3 or 4 (or slab), this is a fantastic phone to have. I'd say even for those of us crazy enough to upgrade year over year, it's still worth the change. Like you, I personally prefer and love the boxy design. Was watching this on my 6, outdoors, and not once did the crease get in the way. On the 5 it would've been an issue. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[@gizmo-addict]

Good video. Agree with the points as I have same experience on my fold 6. Just no5iced that the date stamps in the video mention 'June' instead of 'July' 😂

[@abdulnaserdahbali8922]

Great phone, couldn’t find a. Good case though!! Thanks for the review

[@Yorabunix]

I believe it was the Fold4(?) But can you use the finger censor to bring the notifications down on the Fold6?

[@DavidAVelez1]

You're right! Fold 4! Unfortunately... not on the 5 nor 6 😭

[@nickthaskater]

The 5 and 6 switched from a capacitive sensor to an ultrasonic sensor. This removed the ability to use gestures. I hate the ultrasonic sensor on my Fold 5 and dearly miss the sensor on my old Fold 4.

[@benjaminko7812]

[@gilleojax]

Thanks for another great video. I've watched a ton of videos comparing the 2 phones and by far yours is the best. Having them side by side really showed how much better the content looks on the outer screen. How are you liking the watch?

[@AlexLovesColour.]

Hi David, I’m considering the Z fold 6, how would you say the social media experience is, especially instagram.

[@dr.emilyacevedo812]

Hi Dave, I recently received the Fold 6 in the crafted blackm(512 gb) . I had the Fold 4 for a several months and it was nice but it froze a lot. I turned to the S23 Ultra and it great as well. I got it to schedule meetings, signed contracts, and for everyday use. Strangely enough, I haven't used the camera yet on the phone. There are so many other things I'm still experiencing. I love the sketch to image feature. I can't draw but my sketches have been ok that AI have been able to detect what they were lol. I've used it quite a bit. At first, I was going to return it but I've given a change and I like it. Can you do a review on the Flip 6? Great video.

[@majtechtings]

Mine is back in my tech drawer. Its a great device that i'll go back to once in a while to switch things up and i hope everyone that has one enjoys it but i kept comparing it to my Pixel Fold and my OnePlus Open more than going "this is the foldable for me." Which is the same problem i had with the fold 5.

[@Sputzi10000]

Many thanks for the great review. I have hardly heard any positive reports about the Fold for the reason that too little development has taken place. But I just want to know if it is a good phone. You have helped me a lot and I will buy it now. Thank you and keep up the good work

[@phil-n5t]

God do you believe everything you hear!

[@Sputzi10000]

@@phil-n5t No, but it was the only review that was objective so far. I'm not interested in a comparison with last year's device. All that matters is whether it's a good phone. I haven't regretted the purchase and now have the Fold 6 and the Pixel 9 pro fold

[@redstang70]

Speaking of overheating issues... If i watch YT for even 10 minutes my fold 6 feels like its going to combust its so hot...same with charging it. Im lucky to get 4-5 hrs SOT with this happening. Ive had the 3 folds before this and never had an issue. Im sending it back unfortunately but do have a black one coming. Hope its an isolated issue. That said coming from the fold 5 on paper this is barely an upgrade...in reality it really is. So much about the 6 is better.. front screen seems WAY bigger on it and agree about the cameras..the shots are better especially zoom shots

[@nickthaskater]

Version 19 of KZbin has a ton of issues that result in excessive heat and battery drain. If you revert to Version 18 it fixes everything, except KZbin will automatically update back to 19 eventually (even if you disable auto updates). There are several threads about this if you search. I've submitted numerous feedback through the KZbin app. Hopefully they revert to the version 18 codebase. Point being, it's not an issue with the Fold.

[@HSHIN19]

Samsung really dropped the ball on upgrading the battery not even one bit... even if it was a 300 milliamp upgrade, I would have been happy. 😢

[@willbuschmann]

So you're one of those people who would never be happy. They increase it by 300ma, you'd want 500ma. They increase it byn500ma,you'd want 750ma. Get over it, if your battery is that bad, try getting off your phone.

[@HSHIN19]

@willbuschmann bro, they didn't upgrade the battery for 3 generations. That's pathetic. The flip 6 upgraded 300 ma and apparently it's making a huge difference. Do some simple research and you'd see how competition in the fold market is beating Samsung now 🤡

[@bobhuynh1974]

At 1:38 in the video how did you send the video signal from your camera to the Fold 6? What tool did you use to do that? Thanks and great video!!

have this and the OnePlus Open. The Open is better in so many ways. But, I got this for future trade in value (OnePlus value isn't close) and for 3rd party accessory support. I'm missing the larger screens, the cameras, and the anti glare screen protector of the Open... But mostly, I'm missing the charging speed and battery size. In that specific order. The battery size and charging speed is pathetic and almost criminal. Samsung has been resting on their laurels for far too long. Basically every other manufacturer has passed them up in hardware and OnePlus has in terms of multitasking software. I think I'm going to keep this phone though, specifically for the $1000 2yrs from now trade in value.

Great reply and logic. I also have the OnePlus open and I love it; however, I'm thinking of buying a "used" fold 5 just to have it . (Plus, I miss the S pen.) You're spot on with the charging speed, I can't imagine bacon a phone without it

Do you think this is really worth upgrading from a Fold4? I still feel like the hardware and software weren't a big enough change/revolutionary in order for upgrading. But maybe i expected too much? Im still pretty happy with my Fold 4 but i do notice how bulky it is with my dBrand case. The Samsung deals right now too! So torn... 🫠

From a 4? Absolutely. From a 5? Not even a little bit, especially if you got one of the matte Samsung website exclusive models of the 5.
