Galaxy Z Fold 6: The KING of Folding Phones! 2 Month Review

[@sondofragz4583]

Finally, someone has realized how important foldable software and multitasking are. Reviewers are too focused on the outer display and the cameras.

[@andrzejwojciech3840]

Seriously now. I don't give a damn about cameras. I consider buying this phone for that inner display, multitasking and general internet/media consumption. All of the reviews I've seen telling about how cameras are the same for 3 generations.

[@jimmcnevin9367]

@@andrzejwojciech3840 OnePlus "Open Canvas" blows Samsung out the water for multitasking. Where it falls to Samsung is in wireless charging and DEX. Everything else, it easily beats the Fold. Better cameras, more storage, faster wired charging, bigger battery and lower price.

[@andrzejwojciech3840]

@@jimmcnevin9367 Device itself is not the only thing to consider when buying. OnePlus fold is not available in my country and even if I wanted to export, I will have difficult time later on with services and customer support if needed. And trust me, all thise features beating one another are the things %90 people will not be using.

[@josefigueroa4738]

For me the Honor Magic V3 is the best and I have the fold 6 too.

[@slicknick29]

​@jimmcnevin9367 I prefer the multi tasking experience on the Fold over the Open actually.

[@alexcummings779]

Im watching this video on my fold 6, and Im loving it. The front screen has been widened just a bit. Honestly, it's not groundbreaking but much easier for texting and swiping as i preciously owned a fold 4. I am agreeable and open to having a wider screen, but I am satisfied with this phone and its capabilities; camera is ok for me, videos, speed, multitasking. It is solid enough for me. Im loving it thus far.

[@Stillway2006]

No other company has trade in values better than Samsung. 1,000 for my Fold 4 with 200 more off was insane.

[@TechxGremlin]

Yea $1000 off my fold 4 was pretty good

i just trade my z fold 4 yesterday they had a promotion for like a day for the z fold 6 512gb after taxes 700

[@fooey1]

Here in the UK, Samsung offers £330 for a Fold 4 and deals as a whole are far less appealing. To purchase a 1TB Fold 6 here would cost £2099 since I don't want to trade anything in. I am considering an Honor Magic V3 but the fact that they don't have a 1TB Global version is off putting.

Thanks Mark! You are one of those RARE tech tuber gems out there that takes a practical and real-world approach to analyzing design philosophy vs others who only care about outer screen, weight, and other specs. I love my Z Fold 6 and am so glad I got it when I did instead of waiting for the others that have come out since. Great job!

[@LuzianaGrl]

I've had my ZFold6 for a couple weeks now... upgrade from a Note10+ ... I've been around a while. Worked at AOL in the late 90s as a software tech. I have to say that I think Samsung is the best & I'm always in awe of the progress that has been made. Having a phone with so much power & capabilities ❤ I've never complained about any of my phones because I remember when ... no phones and laggy 486s with 4 mb of RAM 😂And I stick with Samsung...I upgraded mostly because I'm getting old and wanted the bigger screen 😂 everything else is new to me too because my Note10+ hadn't been updated in forever so I'm loving this phone! No complaints! ❤

[@potatoes1234]

Have you owned any of the iPhones in the past 5 years? If so, what do you think of iPhone vs Samsung?

[@LuzianaGrl]

@potatoes1234 I only owned one in 2011... I had experience with Apple when I worked at AOL... had an iPad also in 2011... Switched to Android in 2012 & always Samsung.

[@johna8999]

One thing about the Samsung folds many reviewers overlook is the ability to have 2 different home screens. My cover screen is setup for candybar single hand usage. My inner screen is setup as a mini tablet. I don’t believe anyone else does this.

[@MarksTech]

Same! I have mine setup that same way. I love it

[@DSmitty71]

This is one of the best videos about the zfold6 and the main reason that I upgraded from the zfold4. The thought about the pixel for a brief moment but none of the other folds can match it.

[@richmed2055]

I have a ZF5, completely satisfied with the 1 year usage, and the many ways I have and continue using this phone for personal and business use, no other phone would/could provide what my ZF5 has,.... ever. In fact, I'm expecting my replacement ZF6 coming this Wed, for which I trade my current ZF5 and I was happy to get discounts and finally paid only $550 for the new ZF6 with Samsung cover. I know that I will continue using it for a lot of things, editing video for Real Estate, I use Canva, Capcut, InShot, and also editing pictures with the stock Gallery or Google Photos. Multitasking, and using DEX almost everyday while working with Real Estate clients. It is absolutely not only a phone, but a movile device that has no compare. Thanks again for such a great review.

[@richmed2055]

Correction: Mobile (not mobile)... And I am just writing from my new ZF6, and loving it already.

[@usmanasif7765]

Finally, a reviewer who has done justice to the fold 6!

[@eroc162able]

I've always had Samsung Ultras and this Fold 6 is my first folding phone. I love this thing. I have an S24 as my work phone and since I've been using the Fold 6, the S24 seems too wide for my liking. I hate using the S24 now 😂😂😂 . The front narrower screen is a good thing, you just have to try it.

[@MannyTheUltimate]

I switched over from my iPhone 14 Pro Max to the Fold 6 upon release, and I absolutely love it! The narrow front screen is large enough to enjoy it as a standard phone, but also easy to hold and navigate with one hand. It handles games and apps like a champ, even if you decide you want to play multiple games at once. The phone has adapted to me and my habits as well, which is a nice plus. Overall, it's been a great experience and I can't wait to explore more as time goes on.

[@oscaru5342]

I agree with you 100%

[@easyeddie7755]

Great video, and I agree with everything you said. Watched from my zf6 (navy) and I love it

[@cuz129]

I've got the Fold 5, very similar, but I love it so much. The ecosystem with my giant Ultra S8 tablet is amazing.

[@yoKodaay]

Most of my life on iphone and im 2 days in on my fold 6 and i love it. Only thing i do not like is the battery and that might be, because im coming from an iphone 15 pro max. I got spoiled. Went with it due to the sharp corners and the fact the i personally feel samsungs software is great. Camera isnt terrible. My iphone was better but honestly the camera isnt bad. I think it takes oretty good photos

[@emanuelneiconi]

Completely agree. Love mine. Best cameras? Maybe not, but only when subjectively you compare; day to day life, they are great! Biggest outer display? No. Do I wish it was a little larger? Sure. But I'm already hearing from folks with Pixel Pro Fold and OP Open that because outer display is large, they hardly open it; then what's the point of having a folding phone? That is after all what Samsung has said from the beginning and why they're so slow to make any major size changes. Pen, Dex, multitasking, trade-in, overall experience, durability, etc. - overall to me this is the best folding phone out there.

[@Butterlund]

I'm watching this on my Z Fold 6 that I got three weeks ago, and I couldn't agree more. I was a bit skeptical before I got it, but it proved me wrong. I love it. The only thing that bothers me is that the front camera, under the display, is terrible. I'd rather have the round cutout that I'm used to than an invisible camera I can barely use. Apart from that, this is easily the best phone I've had.

[@XYZEngraveprint]

Had mine a week and absolutely love it. An amazing phone

[@GSJ_TV]

Watching this now. As of yesterday afternoon I ordered a 256gb crafted black fold 6 and after discounts and trade ins I paid $497 plus tax. Pretty nuts. Have the Book 4 ultra with the ultra 9 and 4070 so I opted for a lower storage phone since I can unload files via quick share. Phones arriving today and can't wait to get it!

[@wilhelmgrimm8723]

I currently have the fold 3 and just order the 6 and it just shipped. The fold3 has been great until recently when the speakers went of the the warranty expired. I hate spending so much on another fold but I love all the features and full web pages with easy tab options that I can't see myself going back to a "normal" phone. Here's hoping it won't have any issues down the road 😅

[@cryptomando]

I also like the form factor.. Front screen isn't too big and gives purpose to the inside screen.

[@c2g1980]

Samsung Dex is so underrated, I swear. I thought the outter display would be a little too narrow, but I had 15 days to decide, so I got it. I actually feel in love with this phone and I've actually gotten use to the outter display and kinda like the smaller, narrower form factor. I did not think I would be saying that when I 1st purchased it a few weeks ago.

My daily driver is the OnePlus Open but my bedtime foldable (I'm in bed. Done for the night.) is the fold 6. It's great for virtually everything except its camera. I'm sorry, but I just like the Open's photos far more but the fold 6 is a great kindle/gaming foldable. I'll drive it once in a while and love it until I have to use its camera and then back to the open my sim card goes. Glad you love it though!

[@desamania]

Do you have the 1tb or 512gb fold?

[@Ryan.Mon24]

I agree with you. I had the OG pixel fold and loved it. But this z fold 6 is another level. With the trade in value, Samsung won me as a customer.

[@jimmcnevin9367]

It comes natively with 512 for less than the Z Fold's 256. It also has better cameras and for it's multitasking, you can open three apps side by side or two apps in spit screen with a full sized app either above or below. Plus then you could also open a floating screen on a screen that is larger than what the Galaxy Z Fold 6 offers. The Z Fold 6 measures 7.6 diagonally, whereas, The Open measures 7.82 inches.

[@stephenmisener1659]

The deals are still there, right now my s24 ultra trade in value is 1200. I didnt even pay 1200 for the ultra. I picked it up on sale with trade in for about 450. The price without trade in on sale was like 1000. So the fact i can get MORE than the phones value let alone waht i paid for it is insane. Im very tempted to grab this device, as with the sale/trade in its 500 bucks

[@SiBai-]

Correction about the S-Pen: The Fold version of the pen is only a stylus without Bluetooth functionality like the Ultra phones. You also need to use the Fold specific version of the S-Pen on the Fold. The $100 for the S-Pen Pro will have Bluetooth functionality and can be used on all S-Pen compatible devices.

[@slimv3.162]

Just ordered mine today. Got the crafted black for $469 brand new from Samsung shop app.

[@nestorpujols2919]

It's honestly an amazing deal,and cannot be beat. I sold my Pixel 9 Pro Fold today and bought me a new ZF6. Off the bat I can tell the software is much better and smoother. Camera is probably a bit inferior but this phone is really more polished.

Don't use magsafe if you want to use Spen. It messes up the digitizer and after long enough usage the pen will always be off even when you stop using the magsafe. It's a cool feature but doesn't work well with S-pens

[@user-jm2gm1jo3q]

Great Review. Just like the S10 back then this is another Gem from Samsung that folds

[@MisterrJmark]

Ive been usingthe Fold 6 for about a week. I traded my Fold 5 and got a better deal on this six with double storage than when they did the preorder promotions.

[@jimmcnevin9367]

Actually all folding phones do it. OnePlus with Open Canvas does it best. You can either choose 3 apps running side by side or 2 apps in split screen with a full screen app either above or below the split screen. Most others will run split screen with the ability two open 1-2 more floating windows, making 3-4 apps open at once for multitasking.

[@ramco91]

Just a clarification, the fold does not support the bluetooth functions via the FOLD EDITION S PENS, only the S pen PRO, which is big!

[@NSGProductionsYT]

Those are usually problems that have been ironed out long ago. However, there are many other foldables that are better and less expensive too, such as the Honor Magic V3 and the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro. Both of these phones have bigger batteries, are thinner, have less if a crease and better cameras, Vivo is best in that department, it also has the largest battery at 5700 mAh.

[@carolyndee4565]

I still get my head around the fact that these folding phones are still in beta testing. They cant figure out a way to get rid of the crease in the middle? Fingernail leaves trails on the inside display. Which is crazy for a phone that cost 1500

[@freetail75]

It overheats in the UK and the screen dims ridiculously. This has ways been an issue with Samsung. Trying to fly a DJI drone with DJI Fly on a mobile is neigh in impossible because the screen always dims to a point where you just can't see it in bright light. Sorry, but I've switched to Honor. Just gives me everything I need where Samsung now falls too short. If they had a 45W charge, or 4750mh battery, or better zoom, I'd consider these reasonable compromises. But it's a chunky, low powered device with cr*p cameras, smaller screen with a trough for the inner crease. 6 years on, that's not good enough I'm afraid. Vivo does better Multitasking. Honor does better screens and cameras. Everything (apart from the Fold Pro 9) has battery performance. I just couldn't find enough in the Fold 6 to keep my order. Hope they start to innovate and lead this space again but for now, they seem too complacement on having great software, but all the while, others are catching up and even overtaking Samsung in some areas.

[@MegaIceman66]

Even though I'm disappointed with the Fold 6 because it tried to refine the Fold 5 and, after so long in the game, did relatively little in comparison to Honor or OnePlus (and secretly admitted it by making the slim/special edition), The only reason I didn't get another folding phone is because I don't know what the software experience is like on the others and their ecosystems. What you got wrong is that the Bluetooth functionality with the S Pen is not yet available (I've been waiting for years for it), and believe it or not, the others have stylus support, even on the front screen, which would have justified the thin front screen if it were supported. What I'm trying to say is that the other companies are addressing and improving these issues quicker than Samsung, and almost everything that you've mentioned in your video will most likely be improved upon next year. By the others except Samsung. Samsung is no longer the king of foldables, and they have to catch up. I hope the fold 7 will be the fold that we've all been waiting for, because honor, Huawei, one plus and even Google are listening to the consumers and are giving us what we want.

[@Unobtanium1010]

The reason why the steep discounts are still going for the Fold 6 is because as another reviewer noticed, worldwide foldables sales are increasing but Samsung foldable sales are decreasing. The 3 main reasons are the 3 compromises that Samsung continues to make. For a US $2000 phone, it doesn't include the flagship camera system, battery should be bigger and the phone should be 8" open. I currently daily drive a Pixel 7 Pro and a Galaxy Tab S6. I want a foldable to replace both devices. I went in and saw the Fold 6 but the screen seemed a little small for my needs. From what I've seen in review videos, an 8" foldable like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold would be big enough for me. I also take a LOT of pictures every day for work so the camera system is a big factor. 20-30% of it's use would be replacing my tablet so a bigger battery is also a plus.

[@peacelove8395]

No, that's not the reason. Samsung have been going aggressive on discounts deep into a phone's launch cycle for a while. They did the exact same thing on the Fold 3, 4 and 5 when they had a 90% plus monopoly on Marketshare. Samsung's strategy has always focused on volume sales and market share even at the sacrifice of profitability. Even though out the time of them being the biggest smartphone seller globally they still made less £ per unit sold than Sony of whom only had about 1% market share. I worked for Samsung as an Area sales and marketing manager so I have a decent understanding of their sales strategy
