Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition Unboxing & First Impressions!

[@ShaneSymonds]

What are your thoughts on the Fold Special Edition? Thanks for watching!

[@myfakeguuglaccount8307]

I don't like what it loses for the sake of a slightly wider outer screen. Samsung never intended for the cover display to be a primary work surface...never. So this looks like a conflicted device. No S pen, ugly punch hole on the big screen, bigger in the hand. Meh.

[@keiming2277]

80% of my version on the next Fold

[@ryan2824]

I've been using it for a week and it's my favorite fold so far!

[@redstang70]

All they did was widen the outer screen and make it a bit thinner, very disappointed in it. Was hoping for the wider outer screen yes but also major camera upgrades all around especially the crappy zoom lense. And they ditched Spen support...so stupid. I love Samsung but they continue to underwhelm us.

[@ascanioscerbo4764]

@@ryan2824 Hi, how did you get it? If I purchase through the Korean shop will it work in Italy or will there be limitations?

[@ahmadwand2079]

This is what the fold 6 should've been on launch

[@Phoneking13]

Exactly.

[@MrPoliarinis]

Not really. Spen is huge fail. Battery must be bigger, Noone cares about it's being .5mm thinner or thicker. Also whre the hectic is telescopic lens ? So this is like fold 7 beta at very best. Also... they are making this phone for 4/5 years, how it still cost so much ? R&D already paid off a while.ago

[@Emis333]

Exactly!

[@AntonioCastanon-x4x]

Thankfully this is what the fold 7 will be 🙏 But available in the U.S.

[@jeffwoodard]

Not if you depend on the s-pen. I'll stick with the 6 until they get the stylus working.

[@i_am_blur]

Bro, you got it...* THE * device. I'm SO jealous. For real. GGs!

[@aklolobololok6908]

As a fold 6 owner, I'm gonna say this is a slap in the face from Samsung...

[@ljacobs357]

Nope. It's an update that came out 6 months later.

[@cesarpaz96]

Al tuyo le funciona el spen

[@wistals3deniks]

Why?

[@Brandonv0713]

​@ljacobs357 nah you got to stop defending them. This was weak from samsung, they did something apple would do

$3,000 is insane!!

[@mikerzisu9508]

[@fchaabo]

Great quick first impressions review, and you were the only reviewer who noticed and pointed out that hollow area in the top part of the crease!

[@patrickmarcellus991]

Yes another dope video from the tech KZbin GOAT 🐐💪🏾🐐💪🏾🐐💪🏾

[@zero-z4551]

First time in a while, a Samsung Galaxy with charging brick and case in the box with the cable, manual, and phone. Fascinating

[@BensTechTube]

WOW! Shane, I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU WHEN I GROW UP! You're the only KZbinr I'VE SEEN WHO ACTUALLY SHOWS US WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW! For example, SHOWED US THE DIFF BETWEEN THE GAP ON FOLD4 VS FOLD6 SE! ALSO, I've been wanting someone, ANYONE TO ACTUALLY SHOW US THE Keyboard on the front Screen of the SE! YOUR PROFESSIONAL HAS INSPIRED ME TO MAKE BETTER VIDS, THANK YOU!

[@donniethesportsguy893]

I don’t get why users would need a camera in the inner/main display. Give us am full screen, no cut outs. If user need a camera fold the phone and use the cover display

[@ShaneSymonds]

I think its mainly for face recognition and video calls on inner screen

[@e.e9331]

You must not use it for video calls then, its super helpful

[@donniethesportsguy893]

@e.e9331 I guess I dont like talking to people like that lol

[@amany5383]

Great review as always 👍

[@donniethesportsguy893]

14:40 you hit the nail on the head. Best of both worlds and satisfying every one.

[@GAMIR_SFM]

You finally picked one up! Always was wondering what you would think of it

[@Acura1NSX]

$3,000 is total bullshit for a phone... You need your head examined to even consider it. I owned the Fold 4 for a while and enjoyed it but after 6 months the weight and the limited battery life made me say goodbye. The OnePlus 12 16/512 RAM & memory I replaced it with that offers nearly unlimited battery life, superior camera & display plus high quality build is so much more desirable.

[@bopbop8179]

On a fold 5 and the battery is nearly unlimited as literally has 2 batteries not sure your complaint plus you probably had high brightness and refresh rate at max, there's more to it than what your clearly stating. and while I do understand 3 thousand is crazy for a phone, he explicitly mentioned he bought it from a THIRD PARTY SELLER so this clearly isn't the true release price. All new flagship phones will be inherently expensive and everyone knows this. So please quit dropping misinformed comments because you are clearly not tech savvy.

[@Sterkeman0.2]

can you make a video about the official samsung cases for the tab s10 plus please cause i am getting mine for christmas

[@ShaneSymonds]

Everything is going to be the same on the plus as the Ultra case video I made with the exception of the plus keyboard case not having backlit keys and a smaller trackpad

[@Sterkeman0.2]

@ShaneSymonds ok thanks By the way i wanted to say that i just love your videos so much🤩

[@kimsymonds1054]

Great review!

[@joshslaw2203]

Does rcs messaging work on the SE? I can't get it to work. Also I get 5g but my speeds aren't as good as I've gotten on the vivo x fold 3 pro and honor magic v3 here in the US

[@flavio6325]

Compare the regular Z Fold 6 with the Special Edition in the following way to see if it is really good: open KZbin on the Home tab and with the phone open in landscape position. On the regular Z Fold 6, the thumbs are tiny, and force me to exit landscape mode

[@Thevanbrothers51]

I always wath your unboxings there the best

[@leovazquez6188]

Sad that the fold 6 special is not sold in tye USA only in China and South Korea

[@TheSparkynuts]

It will probably be the fold 7 🙏

[@shadowfallenable]

Can you just order it online like the rest of the world?

[@falcon2898]

Yes but u have to ship it

[@egamer1044]

​@@shadowfallenable Yeah but you gotta pay up if you buy it

[@shadowfallenable]

@egamer1044 How much more (percentage)?

[@Shan_Shah]

I still wish they outer display was still wider its still on the narrow side it looks weird and doesn't feel like a traditional smartphone. It looks like older Sony xperia's phone. Sony finally learned their lesson and ditched the 21:9 and went to 19.5:9.

[@Gemini530]

This special edition will be the Fold 7. Can't wait. Will definitely get it.

[@AceOfHearts001]

Just give us everything we want in 1 package Samsung... Give us this with Spen support on BOTH front and inner screen... Under Display Camera ... Bring back the IR Blaster (Other folding phones have got it). Its always something missing for Samsung...

[@AjayR-c7j]

Does esim available in this fold 6 SE

[@Sidh_techOfficial]

Do you need graphic designer for thumbnail editing

[@jemuzu6882]

im confused is the special edition the online exlusive in the samsung app? or is it something different

[@egamer1044]

It's a completely different device only sold in South korea

[@piotrwalenta3610]

Hello, is there a Polish language in the settings?

[@RocMyWorld55]

Please answer this question 'cause I can see you connected to Wifi when you turn off your wifi does it connect to the 5G towers on my fold device it shows 5G on the top right corner cause I heard the new one since it's imported it only connects to the 4G towers please confirm this for me So on the top right corner does it show 5G or does it just show LT E

[@ShaneSymonds]

I can confirm I am getting 5G right now as I write this comment on Mint Mobile

[@RocMyWorld55]

Awesome thank you

[@RocMyWorld55]

I got another question and obviously it just comes unlocked to any carrier am I right do you just put your sim card in?

[@ShaneSymonds]

​@RocMyWorld55 its a global model so just throw your sim in

[@familyhinai1322]

Is this even released?? Because it's not in the samsung store in the browser

[@ShaneSymonds]

It's been out for a couple months in South Korea

[@sasopetrusev4784]

All the Fold and flip are not covered by the warranty for the screen from Samsung, they will last for around 16 months and then in the rubbish, new screen cost 1k in Australia

[@morm2173]

The w25 black gold version is gorgeous, I hope they copy Huawei mate x6 and Honor battery and stylus functionality next year in hardware

[@mustajabzuberi4916]

Would love to see a video comparing all the generations of Samsung fold phones.

[@curbsidetech]

very nice hoping the fold 7 is similar but with s pen

[@azhyhama9649]

Something between 6 and 6 SE is sweet spot

[@sanakhvi]

It's not the Z Fold 6 Special Edition, just the Z Fold Special Edition.

[@joshslaw2203]

What service provider are you using it with? Getting good 5g speeds?

[@ShaneSymonds]

Mint. Full bars in my area

[@doncallahancallahan1308]

@Shane Symonds I think Samsung should have a Z Fold7 (6.2, 7.6), and a Galazy Z Fold7 Ultra (6.8, 8 1/2inch) displays.

[@ShaneSymonds]

I'm curious to see what they do moving forward considering the Fold 6 not being extremely well received due to sizing. I could see them making this Special Edition the smaller size and come out with an even larger model (tri fold? Rollable foldable?) In the long term but for next year I can definitely envision a 7 & 7 Ultra like you said

[@genocequa]

I went for the SAMSUNG W25 FOLD. 16GB RAM 1TB STORAGE FOR $2,000. Got the VIVO X FOLD 3 PRO as a backup

[@SnakeEyesSOG]

My thought is the 7 will be good. The se seems to be more experimental for user feedback.

[@portosmd9987]

SE is a nice fold - an improved Fold 6 (that is a fantastic phone already). However, to get a bigger internal screen I would prefer to see a 3 fold phone instead of an improved screen ratio 2 fold.

[@Emrah.Turk88]

I have the z fold 5 and i love it , but im waiting for the z fold 7 👍

[@konkeydong6907]

Am i the only one who likes the original Fold 6? The thinner and smaller outer display makes the phone easier to handle and use, especially one handed with the thinner outer display. Making the outer display wider and taller like literally any other foldable on the market now would just make it another 'plus' size phone that happens to open up into a mini tablet. The smaller outer display is what everyone complains about but it is the one thing that distinguishes it. Unfortunately thats not the market wants, which also explains the abysmal demand for a small phone.

[@Don-ni2xn]

Memory of fold 6 won 1T 🎉

[@toneymitchell1032]

I like the size, that battery life is the only thing that bugs me. I am not as pressed about the lack of spen support, but for the price it should have it. Hopefully, we get this next year but that price point is too high.

[@ShaneSymonds]

I'm curious to hear why the battery life bugs you?

[@keiming2277]

What I expect of the next Fold Keep that ratio or just copy S24+/Ultra Remove the camera of the inner display Fingerprint sensor on side will be best

[@AlanAl187]

Inner and outer displays need to have an antireflective coating

[@M_Hass]

Fold 6 inner screen aspect ratio > Fold 6SE

[@jeevanachar1993]

Make a video comparing this with the Pixel 9 pro fold.

[@Shan_Shah]

I would rather not have a paper slim device for one hand outer display if it means killing spen support and smaller battery. The majority, despite a large audience welcoming the silimer device, would be okay to compromise slimness if it means getting an s24 ultra than expands into tab s10 mini.

[@Gurenn83]

Crazy to think that the Z Fold 6 SE is thinner. I am watching and writing this comment on my Z Fold 6 and I find this already thin.

[@EinReiseTagebuch]

Then you should take a look at the Honor Magic V3.

[@Rcalderon518]

I think this is a great device but I specifically bought a Fold for superior note taking. So no SPen support is a deal breaker for me

Lots of cheap yet good Samsung folds available right now (3,4,5). Theres always some risk taking a chance on older folding displays and unknown usage from second hand devices but the few hundred you'd pay is well worth the experience rather than waiting for the current best to depreciate
