Totally agree, when I had the Fold 6 I never even bothered getting the pen and Dex for me is an absolutely nothing feature. Which for me the P9PF is best
I have both but...I keep going back to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. In terms of multitasking, it may not be able to have 3 windows going but two windows for multitasking is good for most people. And the fact I can use the cover screen like a normal phone like the Pixel 9 Pro is a bonus!
Mannn please, pound for pound Z fold 6 is smashing everybody in the foldable market. Software is king, form factor solid, camera decent enough. Samsung for all intents and purposes is the Apple of foldables the end!!!
I have the Z Fold 6, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and the Honor Magic V3. But for whatever reason, I always return to the Z Fold 6, I guess because of the great software… Just to get frustrated with the damn narrow front screen. I guess for women it's perfect. I will nevertheless keep the Fold 6 for trade-in when the Fold 7 is released. Hopefully, it will have a bigger screen like the Special edition.
I was a pixel guy before I got the z fold 6. One UI just has so many more features. I love to customize and tinker and One UI allows me to do that without extra software.
I have the Pixel Fold since launch and have a pen for it. I really don't miss the Spen I still have my Z Fold 3 now 4 years old on the shelf. But I rarely use my Pen. I love both designs of the Pixel 9.Fold and Pixel Fold. Google calling software is the best blocks spamming no annoying phone ringing no more. Talks to callers writes and records what they say. So many other software features that are Google only. Still buttery smooth and fast software.
Question: Do you ever put your at&t sim in the pixel pro fold? If so, any network issues. I asked an at&t store employee why they don't sell it, and he said its not compatible with 5G on their network. Whats your experience?
Two days ago, a green line appeared on the internal display of my several-month-old Fold. After many years of satisfaction with the manufacturer's flagship models, I will unfortunately have the opportunity to test Samsung's approach to servicing its foldable models.
Thinking about switching from S24 ultra to ZF6... Worried about camera quality (i normally shoot in 50mp) and also just daily usage (Pokemon Go, school/work functionality and battery consumption). Thoughts? Love your videos!!
Whats the best place.to buy unlocked phones either online or in-store?? I have cricket witeless and they have shit choices for phones the best they have is S24 or iphone 16s
I've owned both, currently have pixel 9 pro fold.. but i agree, samsung is still king. My best use for Dex on a phone is my AR glasses. Fees is awesome on those.
Going to answer before I watch the video lol I think the Galaxy z fold is the better productivity device, but I prefer the camera on the 9 pro fold and the software experience overall on the 9 pro fold. Since I already know this is about to be a banger, great video is always keep up the great work!
I think OneUI is what makes Samsung phones so great. They pack so many more features into the software that Gogole doesn't have. I never purchased a pen for my Z Fold 3 or 5, but I would use it if I had one. I can't find a case with hinge protection, kickstand, and pend holder that I actually like. I also don't want to carry a seperate pen. Also, unless you buy the spen pro it doesn't have bluetooth connectivity to control my camera.
I think Google does all the basic functions really well but when you buy something like this you want more than just basic functions and customizability. The z fold6 does more with that than any other foldable I believe.
@@TheJaycal77 Yes, the spen pro works like the pen from the ultra phones. It connects with bluetooth and has motion gestures and all that stuff. It is discontinued for some reason.
Along with a few of us I also have both and the only thing I prefer on the pixel is the outer screen and in some cases the cameras. In every other are the Samsung is preferable for me at least
4:23 Don't say it's just something that we have to live with. People could choose to go get honor phones or OnePlus they do a much better job at hiding the crease.
Great Videos. I still use my Pixel 6 - would you say a Pixel 9 is a significant leap forward or a significant upgrade? Nothing wrong with my pixel 6 though.
On just folds Samsung is still the King, not just the camera or so but their Ui and overall exp. is damn solid. Did not use my Pixel fold P much at all but google is on solid path tho. :))
I think for the people that have been android users the Samsung is what you want. However for someone like me coming from apple I prefer the google platform. Its clean, it works.... I have had several Samsung's in the past and always went back to apple because for me the software felt bogged down and glitchy. Thats my take on it...
i can't even look at the 9 Pro Fold without itching. Their approach to the square hinge with rounded corners makes it pretty ugly to me and less elegant looking than the Z Fold or even it's predecessor the OG Pixel Fold.
@macrochipped I guess they did it to cut costs. They have used the same displays as the Pixel 9/9 Pro, and with the ugly hinge, they could increase the inner screen size to 8 inches.
Maybe I’m just behind, but my iPhone 13 speaker calls don’t work, Siri is booty cheese and my connection drops randomly. Everything else on it is Prestine!
Mr T-O, ur just trying to get back in "good graces" with Samsung since you tell it like it is and you have criticized them in the past!😵💫 Happy new Year to you n ur family.
Kindly start to incorporate different video angels in the video. Show the phone screen from different angle. Give a few examples while showing the phone. Most of the video is just the camera facing on you and you talk, which is fine but different angels, showing the actual phone and stuff like that video give us more intrest in watching.
@TechOdyssey when you can buy folds and other phones. I am sure you can buy a camera too. Video productivity grows, views and subscribers will grow. It's worth investing.
For me personally, I couldn't care less about the S-Pen. The hardware overall is better on the pixel fold, but I chose the z fold 6 because the software is superior.
I drive a forklift at work and have to plan layout patterns in trucks, so the S Pen works like magic for me on an almost every day basis. Aside from that though it rarely leaves the holder.
@@boywithoutajob Now that is a legit reason for the S-Pen! I am probably in the minority for not having much uses for the pen. I feel like it slows me down when I try to use it.
One day he’s making a video saying google pixel 9 pro best phone next day Samsung z fold 6 definitely milking his subs for cash wouldn’t surprise me if he was on Samsungs and google payroll
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is junk design. Bigger screens sure....but not done in an ergonomic way. The cover screen bezel is ridiculous, stupid, and lazy. Almost as lazy as their software. Its a Pixel 9 with the ability to do side by side apps. THATS IT. No pop up view. No side panels. No Good Lock. If you've been using Samsung for years, you start missing features....fast. Why is no one reading the room? We want a separate home screen on the inside screen! Some want pen support. We dont want garbage charging speeds. Yes the Z Fold is slower than OnePlus, but the Pixel is embarrassing. I also dont want to hear excuses like "not many people use that feature". No. Not at this price point. Samsung gives you everything and you use what you want to use. Pixel does the opposite. OnePlus? Halfway there. Still can't have a separate inner display home screen. Cant add more than 4 apps to the taskbar?! You can't even change the icon grid size!? (WTF!!?!). Fold 7 should end these debates for good as long as it largely mirrors the Fold SE + Pen support.
There is a special s pen that you have to use for the Z Fold series. The tip retracts so you won't push too hard on the screen. It's been a Fold staple since maybe the Fold 4 I believe
I had same thought and after using the pixel fold 9 pro for 2 months I went back to the fold 6. I like the smaller screen and form factor plus it's lighter and easier to carry
@@colbymann8729 I did the opposite I had fold 6 for a while found out that the added thickness didn't make the narrow screen feel that much smaller in the hand than the slimmer but wider fold 9.

Samsung just needs to implement their version of "open canvas" for the Z Fold 7.
lol no pixel is better. u r judging only by multitasking stds
@@whyhaveaname5963which is the point of a foldable 🙄
Anyone else say “sir….with honours” in their head when he says the best of the best of the best?
Dex and a pen are potentially useful features, but I suspect a lot of folk don't use either.
Totally agree, when I had the Fold 6 I never even bothered getting the pen and Dex for me is an absolutely nothing feature. Which for me the P9PF is best

Same here. For me the pro fold just feels far better to use while closed. The fold 6 is too narrow to text comfortably.
Mannn please, pound for pound Z fold 6 is smashing everybody in the foldable market. Software is king, form factor solid, camera decent enough. Samsung for all intents and purposes is the Apple of foldables the end!!!
Facts
The form factor is probably the worst of every fold available. outer screen even though wider still too narrow
Lol not even close
We’re finally getting a native vertical app drawer in OneUI 7. Glad they FINALLY listened, 😂.

Don't like folding phones but I reckon Pixel would be best. 🥳⛄🎄👌🏻❤

Multi tasking and an S Pen 🖊️ are key 🔑 to actually having a do every thing phone 📱 it is a must if you truly want to be productive anywhere you are.
Great video, both are great, not an easy pick.
Pixel 9 pro fold is my favorite phone of the year. However I do agree that the Z Fold 6 has more features and better software
I was a pixel guy before I got the z fold 6. One UI just has so many more features. I love to customize and tinker and One UI allows me to do that without extra software.
pixel is way more practical and gives way realistic pics and has an excellent form factor and ai uses
I've been primarily on my Pixel for the last year but when I was on my old Galaxy A42, I actually preferred some of Samsung's apps
Just put through GD pen 🖊 in the phone
I agree, i get the most out my phones, i even use them more than my laptop!
So i use a Z Fold6
On point your review, i have a fold five should i upgrade to the six?
I have the Z Fold 6 and I love it. ❤
pixel 9 pro fold is very unergonomic. fold 6 on the other hand is very on par with sony xperia 1V or 5V
How so? Looks like a 9 pro size, while being samish with OPO folded...

Foldable phone still 2 expensive
It was $399 with trade in last month. $1299 without
If I owned the Z fold I would be concerned the stylus would scratch or leave indentations on the screen. I tend to press hard when I write.

Wow too much money hell im still using iphone 12 cause cant buy anything else unless government starts to help its own people
Sorry but the government has no business providing cell phones to anyone.
@ not what i meant i blew out my shoulder and unable to work but they refuse to give disabilty
More videos on z fold 6 please
For everyday use I have no idea who would need a pen to use on any phone.
I find myself constantly wishing I had one for annotating pictures screeenshots, signing things or taking some quick notes. Different strokes.
@@josiahbrown7258thought the same, but I use the pen like once 1 month
Samsung has its own app store for its apps, then its own apps, its own ecosystem and slower updates and worse cameras. You have to like all of that

google one looks dated design wise
So buy fold SE
