Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition - What We know!

[@gtrzdaddy]

4th year and still happy with my z fold 3. it's actually the most durable phone I ve owned

[@bet9898]

I had it too. But when I seen Sammy was giving me 900 trade in , I said see ya. The 6 is very smooth and the front screen is nice . Still wish a little wider on the front but still noticablely better than the 3 .

[@alexmotts]

I used to have one too But switched to OnePlus open it's a better phone for cheaper. Not paying another 2000$ for the same damn phone again. Square corners or not. The fold 6 is the still the same damn phone as the fold 3 in my eyes. Samsung better get their shit together or I'm never coming back. Raising the price and changing basically nothing. Samsung can f off.

[@MatteBlackEverything]

I would have been right there with you, but unfortunately, my Fold3 is having some kind of hardware issue, just before my protection plan ended. Continuity isn't working, switching from the outer display to the inner display, while the screen is on. It keeps saying, "system process failed." It's not software either. It's still happening after a factory reset. It works if I lock the screen with the side button first, then open it. Now I have the S24 ultra. I've really only owned Galaxy Note phones, and when the fold3 came out and no new Note was released, I was upset, but I switched.. only if I waited 6 more months. I still use my fold3 as a backup and as an emulator machine. Love it.

[@db9841]

My Z Fold 3 512gb just received the One UI 6.1.1 update today. I'm still happy.

We want a 6.7 inch 21:9 Foldable. Period. 🤤

[@jeevanachar1993]

💯 Yes we do!

[@1kingjims]

Just put two S23 Ultras together and make a fold.

[@AnotherComputer]

I was a Fold 2 user up until 4 days ago when I bought a Fold 6 and the differences between the two is astounding. There's only two things that I wish it had, faster wired and wireless charging and expandable storage. Other than those, it's a supreme bit of tech. The customization and software blows the competition out the water, as does the "peace of mind" that comes with owning a Samsung device. No matter what, I know there's an official Samsung service store near me and they can order any part.

[@nickthaskater]

I couldn't care less about it getting thinner than it is. We've already seen the significant thermal throttling that results from being so thin with the Magic V3, losing around 20% of the chip's performance because the heat has nowhere to go. Arguing over 2mm just because "it's thinner!" without contemplating the implications is peak KZbin "journalism." Short-sighted and headline-chasing rather than thoughtful and substantial. I love the form factor of my Z Fold 5. If you want a Chinese-style foldable, *buy a Chinese-style foldable!* Having options with unique selling points is a *good* thing. Having a single form factor dominate a segment is a *bad* thing.

[@LogicMattersToMe]

I'm glad someone is pointing out the thermal throttling in the Magic V3. I bought one to test for a week and played some games on this thing and it throttled heavily. The Fold 6 playing the same games handled throttling much better. Reddit praises the V3 as if the Fold 6 was a 2nd rate device.

[@nickthaskater]

@@LogicMattersToMe because the people praising/criticizing have by and large never even owned a foldable. They're spec sheet keyboard warriors.

​@@nickthaskateryup they cry for bragging rights like with charging even though it ruins battery

[@steveguy3]

​@@DENVEROUTDOORMANHeat ruins the battery more than the charging speeds do. A simple thing as having a fan pointed at your phone when it's charging will greatly help reduce heat induced damage to the battery.

[@noah-j00]

I second this. those thinner foldables from China are terrible at heat Dissipation and the battery life is affected by that. I hope Samsung will keep the thickness instead put the bigger battery and better camera sensor.

[@pedrocorreia4830]

There's no reason at all (other than greed) not to place a working micro sd slot (for ex. offline backups, media, etc...), now that micro sd go up to 2TB and are quite fast.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Exactly but FLOP FLOP and Fold have no room...thinner means no space...Cryboys complain about price and no S Pen but fanboys want no bezels ridiculous thinness till there s no space and cost rises....kinda like CHEAPIE A series Crybabies we won't S Pen etc but we ain't gonna pay for it...Don't know why FOOLS EDITION and A series got at first but people shelling out big money didnt...A series want S series to subsidize everything so they can be cheap...Thinness eliminates lots of features and increases costs

[@Lastskykey]

Just buy the storage with USB-C connector is so cheap and less bulky to the phone. I'm using it to connect with my PC and backup my iPhone pictures and now soon to use the exactly same drive for my new fold 6

[@aznjezza88]

They are "owning" designs but failing durability. Samsung still doing better than the competition.

[@chatosancarlosligaliga8626]

I agree. I just bought the fold 6 and I'm enjoying it and ot feels well built where I'm not worried about it breaking.

[@Techfanatic73]

No they are not. Each of the last 3 models have sold less and less. Lol. Other competition is far better. I own a One plus open. Far better device in every way. And none of the garbage bloatware from Samsung.

[@chatosancarlosligaliga8626]

@Techfanatic73 I've seen that the sales have went down but what I was agreeing with was that I've handled a few of the different folds and the one that feels the most durable is the galaxy to me. Plus I feel good knowing it's their 6th iteration. I'm an apple user so this isn't me fan boying over samsung especially because in the past when I used an android it was always a one plus.

@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Hey man, none of that comment made sense nor seem applicable to my comment. Gonna try my best to get at what I think you were going for which was defending the hinge?? There are thinner foldablds with much more reliable hinges and less visible creases. Samsung's hinge design, though rigid, seems to cause premature failure to their main screens I have experienced it several times on my fold 3 and judging from forums that 1 year age hasn't seem to change even in the fold 5. Samsung also hasn't changed the cameras since the fold 3, they're just flat out not innovating. They can, but they don't.

[@youtubeaccount9808]

I don't want a thinner fold. I want a built in S-Pen, much better camera, and better battery life. Call it Galaxy Fold Pro and be surprised with how well it will sell. I have a Fold 4 and the Fold 5 or 6 give me absolutely no reason to upgrade. It's astounding how useful the S Pen is and yet they keep not including it. Tuck it in like they did with the Note phones.

Don't forget the punch hole camera. Replace the under-display camera for the inner foldable screen with the punch hole camera. It's cheaper and more practical, no more softer looking selfie pictures and videos, unlike it's more expensive flagship counterpart.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

[@_Charrizard_]

Another miss for the Fold. It needs a redesign. Same internals and overall design but with a slightly better camera....again. It should have an integrated bluetooth s pen that works on both displays, expandable sd card slot (the A series phones have it but not the flagships?), 6000mah battery, better fast charge (4400mah and 45w? Really?), a 16:9 aspect ratio when unfolded, and a full phone size outer display. I had the Fold 3 and enjoyed it but Samsung's gotta bring their A game to the Fold lineup. They're not checking all the boxes. Look at the Huawei tri-fold. If Samsung had something like that, I'd be the first one in line.

Wtf is 16:9 aspect ratio when unfolded? Then when it's folded itll be square like the pixel fold?

I'm not going to say the Chinese foldables are better when it comes to durability like Samsung but that's just an answer to the stupidities Samsung is doing keeping their folding design stale is what made me drop them and go with the pixel 9 Pro fold and until Samsung designs a phone that folds and it's so attractive and appealing I don't think I'll be going back to Samsung because like I said, they're design language is so stale. I just can't find anything appealing and fun of their foldable. My phone is will go in its box and sit there until I can do my jump upgrade. And for now, I will be using the 9 Pro fold unlocked that I bought from Google whether people agree with my comment or don't Samsung in the foldable department is starting to sound like apple and until they don't innovate affordable that has better specs than their s Ultra lineup and it's extremely appealing stock Android is reminiscent at because I've owned the majority of their folding phones and at this stage to me they are becoming boring in Design One UI and it's optimization of apps for the big screen.
