What I like about the Z Fold is that - it leans into the fact it's a foldable, and its outer screen is better optimized to use in one hand than a typical phone is. If I want a wider screen I'll open it, and if I'm not opening it it's because I don't want a wider screen right now - resources are pumped into durability and reliability every year, rather than into being flashy - since the design language stays more or less the same each time, I don't need to worry about an aspect of the phone that I like going away next time I upgrade So refinements that don't change much over the last gen? That's perfect for me. I'm not upgrading my phone every year anyway, and those refinements add up. I'm upgrading unusually quickly this year (have a Fold 4, and that model was a bad year of durability- getting off the ship before my trade in value sinks to the bottom of the ocean), and even with only two years of refinements I'm looking forward to my phone being less of a gimmick/novelty. Fold 4 is bulky, a little unwieldy, and I'm constantly mildly worried it's gonna self destruct. The 5 and 6 didn't change much, but what they did change was major strides towards making those things not the case.

Depends if 7 years of upgrades matters. If you are planning to have it for many years. Resale value would probably be better because people rather pay for a used phone that will get upgrades. I am writing this on a Note 20 Ultra, that I bought about a year after its release. I did not get last big OS update, only got two in total over the years. Resale value quite low.

Finally had hands on with the Fold in the store. While the small hardware changes are nice and creates a different feel in hand, I hate the fact that there aren’t any major upgrade in the inside. I pre-ordered one, but I just wish they’d make it a much more substantial change in the upgrades.

Got fold 5, and the front screen is just too narrow to use comfortably. Was hoping the 6 would correct this. For me, it's a 5 with a few very minor changes. Very disappointed.

Same. I ended up trading the Fold 5 and getting the S24U. I was really excited to see if the Fold 6 would solve some of my pain points (huge center screen bump, impossible to comfortably use a stylus over it, extremely mediocre camera quality, awkward to use outer screen aspect ratio) but this doesn't seem to change much :/

I like the refinements this time with the Fold 6. Thinner, bigger front screen and the silver is very nice. I also like the squared off design. The rounded nonsense always looked forced and out of place. No, it’s not a big upgrade or redesign, but it does solve the little issues of prior models. I’ll definitely preorder

So it's basically the same phone , but Samsung told the influencers to focus on weight and size. Got it. I'm going to go weigh my watch, with a new ergonomic weight band. It has more holes and different colors. Maybe a titanium lock 😂. 1) the front screen should be larger. 2) for the price, it should have the S23 Ultra cameras. I'll deal with a slightly thicker phone for better cameras. 3) stop pushing AI as a feature. Phones from years ago can run AI.

Foldable screens always have and always will have annoying center lines and split with repeated folding. It's the basic physics of molecular structures. Learn your physics and chemistry. Like constant dripping water creates holes in solid rock over time. So repeated folding will split a screen. Samsung knows these folding screens will fail much sooner than a traditional touch screen. That's why they are producing and pushing them. My neighbor's folding phone screen failed within a year.
