Just as with my Z Fold 4 content, I'm getting a lot of questions about why I disable the UDC. Short answer is I have sensory processing disorder and the UDC has a shimmering effect that gives me a headache if I don't disable it. I hope that explains it!

[@GAMIR_SFM]

Ah dang, i wonder, does PWM screens affects you aswell?

[@scaryifliteral]

It actually doesn't lol

[@NEILANIL1]

Just got my z fold 6, and I tell you, comparing it to fold 5, it's way awesome. I think this design is a step in the right direction. Also, the inner screen feels more sturdy. The fold 5 inner screen felt like it was very flimsy. They did well with the overall feel of the inner screen. The front screen, definitely looks refreshing. I'm not sure of all the folks who say this wasn't a significant update. Bro, this is definitely a design upgrade. If you're on the older gen models of the fold, fold 6 is the fold you were looking for. I don't think I'll be switching it out any time soon. I got the right color as well. Navy blue is fantastic.

[@TienDaEditor]

just got my pink too. Gorgeous.

[@En4cer2K9]

I have a Fold 4 too. I was tempted by the Fold 6, but T-Mobile only offers a $500 trade-in and I'd either have to add a line or change my plan to get any more money off the Fold 6. Guess I'll wait for the Fold 7.

[@SliceTheHitmaker]

I have a Fold 4 also.. T-Mobile don't have good deals & don't offer much.. So I went straight to the Samsung site and traded for the blue Fold 6 there 🤷🏾‍♂️ $1000 off + double the storage + huge discounts on accessories + Samsung points!! It's a no-brainer for me.

Picked up the pink ZF6 today. it's not even super pink - kind of a powdery rose gold type pink. Nice color and I'm already seeing better battery than my Z Fold 4. LOL

[@MrEmueyes]

How strange, the battery on your new phones better then the one you've been using every day for nearly 3 years...? I can see why you'd be laughing so hard...?

[@abrahamroberts2040]

@MrEmueyes I haven't had it for 3 years. Also, for me it is impressive for the battery to be so good on day one even while setting up. Nothing to be snarcky about - just sharing my experience.

Was waiting for the fold 6 hoping it would be better, but the one year older OP open just does it better (again) so I bought that instead

[@RichEmbury]

Thank you for putting the fold 4 on and beside the Fold 6 on. I've seen dozens of vids and they all show size comparisons to pixel fold and/or others. I thought you were gonna do the same thing, but redeemed yourself later in the vid 😂. I think I've changed my mind. The front screen looks more usable with the slight changes. I also hold my fold 4 horizontal or on its side when open so I get the best speaker sound and widest visuals and feels more like a tablet that way, all apps flip and fill up the screen as well.

[@clausbaumann8335]

I did preorder the blue one from Amazon UK. It was shipped yesterday but I have to wait one week. It is scheduled for Friday, guess due to the Internet problems. Shipped from UK to Ireland where I live. So watching your content and others makes the wait shorter and much more thrilling 😊. Thanks a lot and enjoy your ZFold 6 everybody….

[@nickthaskater]

1:50 my Fold 5 looked like the Fold 6 when it was new, too. A year later it's not as bad as my 4 was, but it definitely doesn't look as smooth as it did out of the box. Time will tell if the 6 follows suit (as every other foldable eventually does). 4:50 side-mounted is great, but the move to ultrasonic on the 5 and 6 was a huge downgrade. It results in so many false touches and it can't handle geatures like the 4 could. Good call on the pink 🩷

[@drbluewolf]

I've gone through 2 hinges so far on the Fold 4, it got bad, would only open about 60 degrees. This third one that glue strip with the hinge brushes actually lost adhesion and completely came out, still folds mostly flat (like 175 degrees). Pretty sure in all cases those brushes are coming off and jamming the hinges.

[@RahulSingh-xk3mx]

So happy that i received this pink beauty fold is some great shit 🎉🎉🎉

[@MrMickey1987]

After almost two years on the Surface Duo 2 (which I will keep as my back up device) I've upgraded to the Fold 5. I love the device, absolutely love it. But it's a complely different beast, the Duo 2 absolutely has its strengths over a Samsung Fold. As has the Fold over the duo. I really wished Microsoft would refine the Duo form factor further. As it really is a magnificent experience on it's own.

[@nl101010]

Hi Shane, I also got my Z Fold6 today, in the exclusive white color with 512GB of storage and 15% of the price! And free insurance directly from Samsung. Being really excited about your videos!! Bring it on! I already like the device a lot! A much improved and less visible creese and better hinge, and noticable lighter, especially coming from a Pixel Fold! Again thanks and greetings from The Netherlands 😉👍💪👌

[@ghaithballich5952]

I actually like the soft light pink

[@TheTekEffect]

I dont think its worth the upgrade from a fold 4 or 5. Unless you want the new square design. I have the fold 5 and i went to check the fold 6 at bestbuy and decided not to upgrade. The outer screen is not that much bigger at all.

[@tonyorob]

But the Z Fold 6 has more than a few other upgrades over the Z Fold 5 that kinda go unnoticed: Its 14g lighter, the display crease is much less deep, larger vapor chamber for better device cooling, better gaming optimization, more durable folding display glass, newly reinforced folding hinge for better durability, more streamlined hinge cover that sits more flush with the front and back panels when phone is closed, etc.

[@Sr.D]

It is essential to compare how video looks in the most widely used formats on the main screen, 16:9, 21:10, etc., both in horizontal and vertical orientations.

[@antwoneb.9829]

Just got my blue fold 6 2 hrs ago. Decent upgrade from my z fold 3, and trade in made it worth it.

[@dandesjardins2552]

Enjoying on my Z Fold 4 😊

[@cookedart]

The speaker setup seems to me to be optimized if you're watching videos in landscape mode. If you hold the camera side of the phone then you won't cover any speaker with your hands. At least, that's what I assume Samsung was thinking. It's definitely a little odd when watching videos in portrait orientation, but I tend to watch more widescreen content so this doesn't bother me. One thing I've noticed is that many seem to compare the z fold and pixel fold unfolded in their default orientations, but their aspect ratios are different - z fold unfolds to portrait, pixel fold to landscape. So I think when comparing their screen sizes it's more useful to rotate either one so the aspect ratio is more clearly comparable.

[@scaryifliteral]

Why optimize for one orientation when you can optimize for any?

[@cookedart]

You're not wrong, that would be better, but everything is a compromise and that would take more space.

[@petepaxton5109]

I got to mess with one and I really like it but my fold 4 runs perfectly and I don't think I'd use the 6 much differently so I think I'll stick with the 4. But congrats to all of you who got the 6. Looks awesome!

[@TecnoCarnal]

1:47 That comparison is somewhat misleading, because the crease of fold 6 in two years will look the same as the fold of 4

[@dsotoca]

I upgraded from z fold 3 definitely worth. 🎉

[@duncanduncan7859]

as a 2,3,4, oneplus open owner and tried fold 6 at shop, if fold 7 have one plus size and thicknesses, will definitely switch back to fold. nice video though.

[@Seanmmvi]

Congrats Shane.... It's tempting, but the Pixel 9 Pro Fold may just be the holy grail. If the 9 Pro Fold has just a giant crack in it's armor and falls flat on it's face, I'll grab a One Plus Open used from Swappa for cheap

[@WaffleusRex]

Same here.

[@amguit]

Checked it out today at Best Buy. And love the upgrade. Didn’t have an issue writing across the crease. And the texting on outer display has improved for my liking. Still feel like they can widen it a tad to match the flip dimensions. But it’s pretty close to the flip. Still waiting for my fold 6

[@sparky6757]

My fold 6/buds 3 pro/watch 7/S Pen case arrived about 3 hours ago, and I am loving them so far.

[@joshuabergeman354]

Just to clarify the app drawer situation! There was a option in the Home up module of Good lock to change it to vertical scroll. But that option was removed with what I think was the December update, I can't remember exactly, but it's been at least 6 months. But the rumor is that Samsung is going to make vertical scroll standard with OneUI 7 and that's why they removed it from Good lock. Not sure how that makes sense but that is what I hear.

[@deltaechomusicnh555]

I dont understand why you dont like under display cameras? It makes no sense to turn it off. It does nothing being there. In fact it not being there makes watching videos annoying and distracting.

[@DarrinLin]

in past videos shane mentions that it causes a shimmering visual effect for some people that they find distracting.

[@scaryifliteral]

"It makes no sense to turn it off." This is probably totally true for you, but not true for me! UDCs have this shimmering effect that can be trouble for people with sensory processing disorders like myself. If I couldn't disable it I would not be able to use this phone. Luckily, I can. There's a reason why the option exists!

[@_Sedorikku97]

Preordered the Z Fold 6 in pink too. As for the S Pen case, I went with the navy since I feel like it will look better with the pink since the actual pen is pink. 😄
