I got my first z fold 6 yesterday. And I must say. I'm actually glad I waited until the 6 to get one. I'm very impressed with the overall size. The outside size is cool, if they increase the outside size just a bit it would be perfect. The inside screen is amazing. I give my z fold 6 a 10/10

[@quietatse]

Does it come with the screen protector?

[@johng9422]

Dude, I recommend always pulling it off diagonally not in a straight line as you are putting a lot of strain on the lower layers of the screen and you might risk damaging the screen layers.

[@steves7458]

I dont see any reason to remove the protector. I think its called a protector for a reason.

[@sharmahw]

On the main screen I wouldn't dare to do that... Didn't even notice one... Didn't impact the touch sensitivity so just left it there... Mental peace I guess...

[@alphaspartan]

It will bubble up eventually. Happened maybe 1.5 years into the fold 4 and happens within 6 months for some. I agree with Greg that it's nicer without it and I had no issues after removing it even using the S pen on it.

[@sanakhvi]

What "main screen" ? Inner screen ? How can you not notice it...

[@bradcruise6291]

Yeah finger pints on the adhesive. Who would have thought

[@bradcruise6291]

Feels barely different. I did that with one of the first models. Not worth it

[@Shan_Shah]

​@alphaspartan because of the crease, I simply don't understand why they can't get rid of the crease it's 6ᵗʰ get already, Chinese manufacturers have gotten rid of the crease for a while 5000+ mAh battery, 8+" inner display with a wider outer 6.5+" display. Samsung could easily give us a more similar fold and a bigger battery if they could overall increase the width of the device, which could help shave some millimeter from thickness

[@1966msteel]

I have had very little to no dust issues with my Z Fold 5 by leaving the inside screen protector on, and my screen is still after 7 months of ownership very smooth to swipe across and has no scratches. Also, if you use a large microfiber lense cloth for cleaning eye glasses, (Available at Wal-Mart). It's really simple and quick to keep the inside and outside screens free of fingerprints and dust. In my opinion, you're taking a big risk of scratching the inside screen when you wipe off dust particles without the protector because that's what the inside protector is designed to protect against. I buy my devices at the Samsung Experience Store in Houston,Texas. The manager at the store told me that "it does void the one year free factory warranty" if you remove the inside factory installed screen protector. The Z Fold 5 & 6 inside screen protectors are covered for a free replacement at any Samsung Experience Store in the US during the first year of ownership. After that, the Samsung Care Plus covers free inside screen replacements at any Samsung Experience Store. If Samsung is willing to go through all of that trouble for free, then why not leave the screen protector on? 🤔

[@merionburns6309]

You do you ... I'm keeping mine on until it peels off by itself. It worked for me before and I'm sure it'll do the same this time.

[@killerbsting1621]

Same, pointless peeling it off unless it's bubbling or something

[@GftsandPrvlgBrand]

Me 2.. Imma wait

[@edwardhall-o8m]

Even Samsung says don't remove it 😂 you just bored dude just doing stuff

[@KINGDINGALICIOUS]

It's okay as they lose the adhesive after a few months. Still work 100% and doesn't void any warranty.

[@Shan_Shah]

I wish they make an anti reflective screen protector for inner display.

[@ElCantinflas69]

@@KINGDINGALICIOUSbro i had the worst gen of the z fold (z fold 3) and believe me, its much Better to buy another protector…

[@Shan_Shah]

@CastroJordan I wish they made an anti reflective one for people who hate the glare, plus anti reflective screen protector on a reflective screen makes it more anti reflective, it's actually better to have a more reflective screen with anti reflective screen protector. I have put the s24 ultra anti reflective screen protector on the s23 ultra, and it's actually less reflective than than the s24 ultra with the anti reflective screen protector, plus some people don't like the natural display are prefer saturated, so to have the anti reflective screen protector on that display is much better for people who prefer a natural display and for people the prefer over saturated they could get a glare screen protector.

[@inflewence]

It don't matter. I had the 4 5 and now 6. Took it off the 4 and 5. No case. Phone was fine for the year I had them, and trade in was fine.

[@glassman72]

I take mine off when it starts to bubble underneath

[@mrcivicsi20]

He is right it doesn't do anything to the warranty. But I removed my z fold 5 protector and replaced it with a privacy one and it was the worst thing I ever did. After a couple weeks the protector starting cracking and I had to replace it like 3 times was horrible. This time I'm not touching it. Leaving the original protector on until I upgrade to the z fold 7.

[@mohdajrulmumininnorijan197]

Yeah privacy screen protector keep cracking where the crease is, using the matte one now

[@gt5552]

I removed the fold 3 screen. Without it its prone to dents nade fingernails. I tried 3 different protectors and none of them last. The bubble up in the middle where the fold is. I even tried the dome something brand that cost an arm and a leg. If rather keep the fold 5 factory one intact.

[@cynthiaj.simmons870]

I took it off my ZFold 4 after I got it too. Because that's what had cracked the inner screen on my ZFold 3 and after watching Greg's video I decided to do that myself too. And I had any problems it my screen since removing it too. I did just get the ZFilp 6 this time but I'm not sure if I should take the screen protector off yet or not and I'm thinking about keeping it on just for a little while though??? 🤔📱🤔📱🤔📱

[@kimbridge5592]

i think it feels better this year. when i was setting up the phone it said do not remove. and thought of you straight away.

[@mhajii210]

Greg now that it's off would you kindly make a video about putting on a matte or anti reflective inner screen protector? The glare is really my main issue with the Z Fold 6 especially compared to the OnePlus Open and other Chinese foldable devices. Please help!!

[@MediumMosley]

Greg taking one for the team like every years Fold!

[@TheElder_]

Actually his wife is taking it, this is his wife's fold, his hasn't shipped yet.

As an apple ecosystem user, I'm very impressed & satisfied with the fold 6. I never thought I would switch to samsung, but z fold exceeded my expectations.

[@Alidowdy]

Same.

[@_Mario_PL_]

Fold 4 I took it off and it was super easy. Fold 5 was a pain to take off, but a year later and still works great. I'm not getting Fold 6 this year, I wanted a bigger phone all around. Wider and taller, I want it to be even taller than S24U.

[@_Mario_PL_]

@@cynthiaj.simmons870 It makes sense that the screen protector would crack the screen. Anytime you put one thing on top of another and try to bend them in half, both will behave differently and when you glue them together it will put strain one on the other because at the bend on each will have a different radius. I hope that makes sense to you.

Did u feel the phone become a little lighter when folded or unfolded after u removed it from ur Z fold 5

[@doncallahancallahan1308]

@GregglesTV I don't see the reason for taking that screen protector off. It's a free layor of protection, and I don't think it hinders the viewer experience, and you can wipe it periodically to maintain both the physical look and keep the viewing experience nice. I'd take it off only if the viewing experience is declining or badly damaged.

[@StrainXv]

Well one reason is to put on an aftermarket one, they make better after market protectors that have anti glare and even privacy protectors.

[@doncallahancallahan1308]

@StrainXv Well, I had take mines off on the Fold2. Because that one kept coming off after like half a year. So, I did use an aftermarket screen protector. But with the Fols4 and Fold5 I just don't see a reason for it.

[@wire1970]

Can you replace it with a matte protector?

[@itzjp777]

I've taken mine off on fold 2,3,4, & 5 because it makes the screen smoother to swipe. However, on the Fold 5 it was less smooth after removal for some reason which is making me hesitate on my Fold 6. Is it smoother before or after on the 6? Please answer!

[@陳彥廷-t9u]

It is not recommended to remove it because the film is very sticky and may cause uneven stress on the internal screen and pull it if you remove it incorrectly.This will cause damage to the internal screen, and this film can prevent the screen from being scratched​@@cynthiaj.simmons870

[@hairbywill2896]

Omg ...Iv had the x fold since the first one. And the screen protector helps prevent the screen from cracking down crease. Now in about 6 months you'll start to see little cracks and that's because you removed the protection.

[@陳彥廷-t9u]

The reason why users are advised not to remove the internal protective sticker is because when the first and second generation models were released, Many users remove the protective film, causing the internal screen to pull and cause internal damage and rupture,This also results in a pop-up message during initial setup of subsequent machines informing you that this behavior is prohibited.

[@bamajeff6]

Not sure why you're taking that off, but i'm totally happy with my.

[@MaheshKumar-rg8hn]

Hi Greg. Did removing the inner screen protector make the phone any little bit lighter than before? I still feel that ZF6 is heavier and will do more if it makes it lighter further.

[@JessZiii]

Can I add a screen protector on top of their screen protector? I always buy ArmorSuit for all my devices?

ised mine for one whoole year with fold 5 never peeld it out now im using fold 6

My fold 4 bubbled after 8-9months. Currently, fold 5 used for 1yr 1month, just start to have bubble from middle top of inner screen. Guess I will be peeling off mine too. Bought a hydrogen, yet to arrive, just not sure if will stick it on later after received....

[@malcolmhart9924]

Does the front camera when it's open take better pictures with the screen protector off?

[@charlescox7672]

I can see how you'd like it better with the screen protector off, but (not having owned any of the Fold phones, yet) I think I'd leave mine on for maximum protection of that delicate and expensive-to-replace screen... Really seriously considering getting the Z Fold 6 in the next month, as I'll be making the final payment on my S22 Ultra in August and can upgrade.

what do you use to wash the extra glue residue

what about now? any problem

Do your screen open all the way up? if so is it flat? Mine do not seems to open all the way.

Hey man, you said that's your wife's phone. Let her decide if she wants the screen protector on or off. Your pink Z Fold still hasn't arrived. 📱🤷‍♀️

[@Shan_Shah]

I'd say their narrow outer display is what limits us from the larger battery and making the device silimar, they could slim down the device if they added 10-15mm of width on the outer display, they havent done anything since zfold 2 asides sliming down the bezel to give us 2-3mm wider display i want to see atleast 7-10mm increase in outer display next year even though I think it will be zfold 10 or 11 by the time we finally reach the tridtional smartphone aspect ratio or maybe not.

You should get the whitestone utg glass screen protector for fold 6. After the whole recall of them for fold 3, they updated the thing, and now its alot better and stronger while also making the folding screen feel more like glass i had it on my fold 5 and so far its pretty neat. And also it doesn't scratch as easily.

When compared from my samsung fold 4 vs fold 6 I do noticed a slight different. My fold 4 have more sharpest and pop and my fold 6 looks for soft out. I don't know if it's the screen it's laid on. Or I might have a defected one, I'll have to compared it with another fold 6. Any body here feels the same way. 4k looks better with my fold 4 than my fold 6 in terms of brightness and vivid.
