LIVING with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 - My Verdict!

[@Thetechchap]

Hey Chaps! Would you ever switch to a Fold?? 🤔

[@keiming2277]

No for now, I am using S24+ because I like the screen ratio, I am not a fan of the screen ratio they had with Fold 5/6 And I would suggest getting rip of the front camera in the inner display

[@Gungrave123]

No, and the marketing push through youtube tech shills for this crap is insane. They even gave you guys the same talking points.

[@jorge_the_first]

Not at all

[@Diablomeister1]

I held it at the store today, its really tiny when folded and when unfolded - no meaningful apps utilise the full screen.. so I really struggle to imagine why someone would buy this... no use case for me..

[@MarkDangerfield-yk2bc]

😊

[@osys7832]

If you're someone who reads, watches a lot, then z fold 6 is better than the other regular phones and its predecessor In my opinion.

[@LoverOfTech]

8:44 I really appreciate the shoutout mate 🙌🏿 means a lot. Thank you 🎉

[@emanuelneiconi]

I went back and forth for months trying to decide on staying with Samsung or trying out OnePlus Open. At the end of the day, because of the overall experience, the software, the ecosystem, the customer service, I decided to get the Fold 6. Is it the best in terms of outer screen size? No. Does it have the best cameras? No. Does it have the longest lasting battery? No. Is it the best overall device (in my opinion) and a joy to daily use? Yes! I'm very happy with it.

[@redstang70]

This sums up the fold pretty well!

[@tafb94force29]

I concur.

[@thjonez]

same couldnt leave ultimately

[@lamar310]

Best? Please don't lie to yourself. You just admitted it doesn't have the best cameras or best battery...it's not even a leader in performance. You paid almost $2,000 for device that's not a good smartphone or tablet lol

[@wtotheo]

God you're boring

[@georgeho5369]

I've got the fold 4. Considering the price increase, the 6 should have s pen capability on the front screen, ultra cameras and bigger batteries. Ideally with a built in SPen too 😅

[@Noodles.FreeUkraine]

Same here, couldn't agree more.

[@kevinerosa]

If you're paying full price, you really need to look for discounts. Just paid 699 with trade in. Comes with 512gb. Samsung had a ton of pre order deals. For 699 it's a beast of a phone.

[@joeyjoey7972]

just look after it, get SAMSUNG CARE+. with folds they the hinge is likely to fail at some point, or screen cracks, if you have scratches on the outside or lens cracks then your warranty is void, as it's a replaceable unit, read the fine print. Samsung are notoriously bad when it comes to warranty repair.

[@Rseg7]

me too i gave my s23ultra.getting my fold tomorrow in the mail hopefully

[@DanielCalzacorta-ip2xe]

[@SamuelHernandez-kk3oz]

As someone who likes the compact phone segment, I actually appreciate the size of the fold6 cover screen. The only improvements that I want from future Zfolds form factor is thinner, lighter, creasless.

[@avilenskyr]

When they put the S-pen inside, I'll switch from the ultras... I don't want to be obliged to use just one type of case just to carry the pen.

[@andyH_England]

FWIW the dust resistance should have a large caveat as it only protects for dust over 1mm and nearly all dust is less than that.

[@VexXDocka]

Going from a 4 to a 6 i can say it is definitely worth it. I can actually type on the front screen as it's bigger, and it slimmed down the bulk so much compared to the 4 that I no longer feel like I'm smuggling a literal brick in my pocket it's way closer to the size of a normal smart phone and I would say with a thin case possibly slimmer than some normal phones with those rugged cases

[@vinny5915]

As long as they are still more expensive than a decent computer (or a tablet), none of these foldable will made it into my wishlist.

[@kojikicklighter371]

I was ready to pull the trigger on a pre-order, but it would be over a month before it could be delivered! I'll wait and see if there are problems with it.

[@NicksterMags]

Not sure what country your from but I just walked into Samsung and bought it. Had them all in stock to choose from.

[@alexbabyfella3750]

why do tech reviewers even mention that phones wobble on a desk, no one on Earth uses their phones that way

[@RandyGleason]

That bothers me all the time. I'm guessing office and remote workers do it often.

[@kaiserfakinaway5909]

they don't use these phones for practical features, they just try out the new and fun gimmicky features or run some benchmarks and then continue on with their lives, just using insta and youtube or something. I'd say they don't even care about cameras, if it weren't for them basically working as youtubers who compare cameras, I doubt they'd complain about a Galaxy A55. Credit where credit is due Tom is a mostly real one and instead of thinking of his actions as malicious I think he just makes some errors or has some quirks. 95% of reviewers on the net I just can't trust anymore, trying to please the companies with positive reviews. Think about it, if some of the cons include something so minor as table wobble, that'll for sure be fixed with a case, would you care? Nope, companies want that, they want you to think the only problems are those minor ones that you don't care about. Not the fact that if you got the Z Fold3 you'd have gotten 95% of the experience.

[@biscottipoppins]

I have wondered the same exact thing. Every single one does it. Couldn't care less 😅

[@snowyfall753]

If you actually are going to draw on it with the s pen, then you might want to lay it down on a table.

[@ritvarsapalis5463]

Traded s24u to fold 6, trust me, the best 21st phone. U will not regret! And the bad side is, that u will love it, two in one phone and a tablet!

[@BrettVadset]

I just saw in person at Best buy here in Austin. I actually really liked how it felt in hand. Have not considered or held a fold since the 3. I have a Note 20 ultra, ans the fold 6 was smaller, thinner, and little lighter I believe. I get emails from Samsung because I like buying unlocked and direct from manufacturer. Checked on Samsung, got 650.00 trade in on my note 20Ultra, and 20% on a watch 7...killer deal. Ordered direct. Will be in my hands next Tuesday..and have 15days to try it, before I have to send prepaid return of Note. Think was a great option, and best buy store guy said he could not come close to matching. Gonna try it. Thanks for the great video.❤

[@TheLordsKidd]

I'm on it now, and I LOVE it! I have fold 5 in my room, and I had the fold 4, and the 6 is MUCH better! They're really refining the fold well!

[@kavinab6629]

Same. I've had the 4 and the 5 and the 6 is a massive step up compared to those 2. Absolutely love it

[@TheLordsKidd]

@kavinab6629 exactly my opinion, brother! So, there is a premium feeling I've noticed.. and the 5 was great, not 1 problem.. I kinda feel wasteful trading it in.. take it to the PO Monday morning..

[@vincemiclat-k7d]

Received my preorder last Friday. It looks and feels fantastic! The refinement is absolutely on point on every angle. The built feels so robust! I upgraded from my current Z Flip 5 and had the best trade in discount deals. Samsung really take good care of their customers!

[@antwoneb.9829]

I done had mines for a week upgraded from z fold 3. Worth the upgrade better cameras, way brighter screen, battery life is way better and 7 yrs of support.

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

i watch alot of youtube videos , so the fold is the best for me. also i like that it's narrow when it's close. easier to use with one hand !

[@mayumic08]

It made a difference to me and noticeably lighter, i do not regret upgrading 😊

[@sayid2012]

If you're considering purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Flip or Fold phone, I strongly suggest you think twice. As a loyal Samsung user, I bought a Galaxy Flip 5 less than a year ago, and it already has two pink lines and a black dot on the screen. After a lot of back-and-forth with customer service, they finally asked me to reset the phone yesterday, Friday, August 9, 2024. Today, I went to the Samsung store at Westfield Stratford, where I was informed that I would need to pay £340 to repair it because of a small dent, which apparently voids my two-year warranty. Given my long relationship with Samsung, I can no longer recommend their Flip or Fold phones. I've been a Samsung user since 2013, starting with the Galaxy Note 3. I still own a Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy Note 9, and a Galaxy S24 Plus, along with a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and Galaxy Buds Live. I had been considering upgrading to the Galaxy Fold 6, but this experience has completely turned me off Samsung. Even though I’ve been satisfied with their products in the past, I now find their two-year warranty untrustworthy. Goodbye, Samsung. I have photos of the damage that voided my warranty.

[@nobotshere8364]

I've had mine a week now, it has its flaws for sure. Battery and camera is a kick in the teeth when you compare to s24. However, the trade off of multitasking, gaming, streaming, its not even comparable to anything else. It really does depend on what you want or importantly how you use your phone. My phone is a work device too and with all the note taking and Excel functions its perfect for me.

[@evanmadness]

I have a Samsung S21 Ultra, 3 years and jus purchased the Z Fold 6. I receive it in a few days.

[@thkhoa8805]

[@dweevil]

[@snowyfall753]

The bezel is still much thicker on the outer display than on the S24 lineup. But I guess Samsung purposely did not make it as small so they can shave of another millimeter for fold 7...

[@alphaspartan]

​​@@snowyfall753if they made the bezel any smaller they wouldn't be able to put a front case on it without covering the screen. That's how small the bezel is.

[@Artquad]

For the owner of S24 Ultra 0.8 inch bigger screen don't justify the lack of battery, charging and cameras. Specially when competition proves that it can be done.

[@Noodles.FreeUkraine]

Fold 4 owner here, and if I had to swap, I'd rather choose the S24 Ultra as well at this point.

[@THEGARNERCOLLECTIVE]

That was impressive making the blue bin vanish from the photo.

[@halgrynshaun]

I got this coming from the Fold 5 (because of a big trade in deal) and find it a much more balanced phone. It actually feels like an upgrade. I do like the Chinese folables more hardware wise (specifically cameras and thin profile), but trust Samsung more if something goes wrong. I got Samsung Care included in my trade in, not sure if the Chinese folds offer the same... Furthermore, I have grown to love the smaller front display, because I have access to the inner screen (I am not lying). The front display has grown just enough for me and find it to be perfect. I have, however, noticed that I open my fold a lot less with this phone. I now force myself to keep my phone open because I have this fear that the crease will increase or screen protector come loose if I keep it folded. So when I am at home or office, I keep my phone open. With the Fold 6 I need to force myself because the small screen is now a perfectly usable screen for me and feels akin to an iPhone mini.

[@gb3782]

If you use the previous z folds regularly then youll notice the difference 3ml makes. The front screen now feels like a proper handset. With the gap less hinge makes it flatter to hold and not bulky. All these tech guys are proving that they do not use fold phones on a regular basis.

[@sabsrule]

i had the Fold 5, and it was causing me too much anxiety of breaking it dropping it so i switched to the Ultra24. Much happier with my choice, especially with the camera

[@alicegarner7394]

I did as well...but then I made the mistake of picking up the Fold 6......got a great deal and I'm still in love❤

[@jackedmondson12ify]

This is the great thing about having o2 switch up In the UK. Can just sw phones every 3 months. I've used all the folds and there great. The reason I went for the 6 was that cover screen. The slight bit of width makes all the difference

[@liamporter1137]

Should compare with other competitors. Samsung has fallen behind the competitors.

[@fboost]

Honestly, Imo I think the 200mp sensor is garbage. I have had s23u,s24u,fold 5 and fold 6 as my last 4 phones. The fold 5 and now 6 took better point and shoot photos then either of the ultras. People get so caught up in numbers and social media telling them "this is the best!" I personally will take the 50mp sensor over the 200mp sensor any day. What hurts the folds is no decent telephoto or macro. In a phone this price its inexcusable. As for Chinese phones, I will never buy one after the Huawei incident. You are kidding yourself if you think they were and are the only ones doing it.

If you're heading out for the day, and you're not in the middle of a phone review, which phone do you reach for most often? That's probably going to give us a better idea of which phone to get than the individual reviews.

[@maddada]

It's NOT a 1mm wider screen. It's actually 3mm wider. Still completely unusable for me (tried it in the store and compared with my Fold 4 and the Honor V2 next to it). In the end, I canceled my Fold 6 pre-order and ordered an Honor Magic V3 instead (6.6cm front screen width vs 6cm on the Fold 6). Also the Honor is better in every single hardware spec ex. bigger battery, faster charging, wider screen, thinnest fold ever (9.2mm vs 12.2mm on Fold 6), better cameras, 4000 pwm low eye strain OLEDs, a Pen that works on the outside and inner display, 226 grams vs 239, IR blaster, etc. The software is also getting really good since Magic OS 8, and they keep improving it. I already have most of Samsung's AI gimmicks and barely use any of them. This is coming from someone who has been using the Fold 4 for a year (had to replace the screen but Samsung rejected warranty even though it was due to a well known issue with the brushes, they made me pay $500!! to fix it, after saying it would cost only $330) The Fold 6 is not enough of a jump to warrant the massive price. Goodbye Samsung until you go back to innovating like you used to.

[@link6032]

i have one but sending it back as it's just too narrow, the real issue is that this is going to be out of date in a year, Samsung will switch to a wider front screen in the next fold (maybe before with the rumoured fold Ultra) and this profile will looked as a quirky design as the fold market developed. There is a reason that no other companies making folding phones go down this narrow route, they could all make narrow phones, but they don't as they know what the market wants - strange Samsung stuck with this and anyone buying this will have to move to a wider fold at some point anyway as these narrow ones won't exist

[@Thetechchap]

[@orangedan5424]

I have upgraded from fold 4 to 6. Finally, i dont have to blow the dust every time i open the big screen. It is much cleaner now. Also, I can see so much better under the sun now, which i struggle on fold 4 on max brightness. The sound is so much better, even when connected to bluetooth. Unfortunately, as with all samsung phones, they dont support anything higher than standard aptx codecs. NO adaptive aptx nor the HD version. They seem to promote their own sbc codecs. IF you want high-quality wireless sound, you need either samsung Own Codecs or LDAC. How i wish Samsung would include all codecs since we are spending so much money. It is really unfortunate in Australia there are not many choices available other than to go Samsung. Unless if you import them... which can be a hassle if you are unlucky and need warranty service.

[@winnb4968]

*Let's pray Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be 1mm wider!* 👏 Come on Samsung this is what we all really want.. Galaxy Z Fold vs One Plus Open: *One Plus Open* 👑 *Here is the reason why:* Price is a lot too high I'd rather buy One Plus Open with 512GB and since it comes with 16GB RAM. I'm afraid going for Fold 6 with slightly better chip, isn't enough especially for multitasking 16GB>12GB. Plus the screen body ratio is more on One Plus Open, meaning the resolution is also higher and peak brightness. Samsung made the Z Fold 6 almost exactly like 1 Plus Open. The length and thickness and weight is almost the same. Except for the width.. which we all can agree it's still narrow.

All 2024 flagship phones have fast performance. That is not an advantage over any other recent phone release. I would also expect year-on-year improvements. As it is passively cooled, as we have seen with most 2024 phones, the headline numbers are only part of the truth, as the Fold6 will throttle fast and perform lower (60% in some tests I have seen) in intensive usage. Not that most of us push that hard, so the uptick in single-core will give it a snappier feel than older Folds but no more than other 2024 phones. Some improvements would obviously make the Fold6 better, from a larger battery to a broader front display, to s-pen silo and front display support, to more RAM options, and more modern cameras. Still, the absolute deal-breaker is the price, close to £2000 for 512GB with case and s-pen. I can't comprehend paying that amount of money for a phone. The trade-in says it will be worth only £550 after a year (i.e. pre-order special trade-in price for Fold5)! So, it is an easy pass. I got the Honor Magic V2 for £1200 on pre-order with a free gift of headphones (retail £350)--no trade-ins needed. I would not in any multiverse believe the Fold6 is worth more, especially as the V2 came with 512GB/16GB, a free case, charger, and insurance. So wait for the cheaper pricing as paying circa £2000 is not recommended unless you have high disposable income.
