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.
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.
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
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
WOW! Shane, I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU WHEN I GROW UP! You're the only RUclipsr 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!
Compare the regular Z Fold 6 with the Special Edition in the following way to see if it is really good: open RUclips 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
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
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...
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
$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.
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.
I love my Fold 6 but when typing on the outer screen I become a typo demi-god lol I'll probably upgrade to the Fold 7 if it is linear to 6 Special Edition
Inner camera and price is ridicilous! I'm happy with my Zfold 6 that I got new for 900€. It shouldnt be more than 1000€ in reality. Only camera is pretty bad for its price.
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
I agree honestly but as long as people fuss about creases I feel obligated to talk about it and showcase it to help people with their purchase decisions
Apple is very far behind in the foldable space. I do agree apple ✅️ in some categories like their laptops but it's hard to believe you think apple is superior to Samsung in this product category
Paid my own money for this (and all the devices shown in video) and i have no affiliate commission opportunities for this device. So can you elaborate on how I am shilling?
What are your thoughts on the Fold Special Edition? Thanks for watching!
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.
80% of my version on the next Fold
I've been using it for a week and it's my favorite fold so far!
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.
@@ryan2824 Hi, how did you get it? If I purchase through the Korean shop will it work in Italy or will there be limitations?
This is what the fold 6 should've been on launch
Exactly.
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.

Exactly!
Thankfully this is what the fold 7 will be 🙏 But available in the U.S.
Not if you depend on the s-pen. I'll stick with the 6 until they get the stylus working.
$3,000 is insane!!
For something that will be outdated in a month
Bro, you got it...* THE * device. I'm SO jealous. For real. GGs!
As a fold 6 owner, I'm gonna say this is a slap in the face from Samsung...
Nope. It's an update that came out 6 months later.
Al tuyo le funciona el spen
Why?
Yes another dope video from the tech RUclips GOAT 🐐💪🏾🐐💪🏾🐐💪🏾
First time in a while, a Samsung Galaxy with charging brick and case in the box with the cable, manual, and phone.
Fascinating
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
I think its mainly for face recognition and video calls on inner screen
You must not use it for video calls then, its super helpful
@e.e9331 I guess I dont like talking to people like that lol

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!
Great review as always 👍
You finally picked one up! Always was wondering what you would think of it
Sad that the fold 6 special is not sold in tye USA only in China and South Korea
It will probably be the fold 7 🙏
Can you just order it online like the rest of the world?
Yes but u have to ship it
@@shadowfallenable Yeah but you gotta pay up if you buy it
@egamer1044 How much more (percentage)?
14:40 you hit the nail on the head. Best of both worlds and satisfying every one.
Compare the regular Z Fold 6 with the Special Edition in the following way to see if it is really good: open RUclips 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
can you make a video about the official samsung cases for the tab s10 plus please cause i am getting mine for christmas
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
@ShaneSymonds ok thanks
By the way i wanted to say that i just love your videos so much🤩
Great review!
I always wath your unboxings there the best
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...

This special edition will be the Fold 7. Can't wait. Will definitely get it.
It's not the Z Fold 6 Special Edition, just the Z Fold Special Edition.
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
What service provider are you using it with? Getting good 5g speeds?
Mint. Full bars in my area
Is this even released?? Because it's not in the samsung store in the browser
It's been out for a couple months in South Korea
Memory of fold 6 won 1T 🎉
My thought is the 7 will be good. The se seems to be more experimental for user feedback.

Do you need graphic designer for thumbnail editing
@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.
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
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.
The w25 black gold version is gorgeous, I hope they copy Huawei mate x6 and Honor battery and stylus functionality next year in hardware
im confused is the special edition the online exlusive in the samsung app? or is it something different
It's a completely different device only sold in South korea
Hello, is there a Polish language in the settings?
Would love to see a video comparing all the generations of Samsung fold phones.
Something between 6 and 6 SE is sweet spot
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
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.
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
I can confirm I am getting 5G right now as I write this comment on Mint Mobile
Awesome thank you
I got another question and obviously it just comes unlocked to any carrier am I right do you just put your sim card in?
@RocMyWorld55 its a global model so just throw your sim in

Inner and outer displays need to have an antireflective coating
I have the z fold 5 and i love it , but im waiting for the z fold 7 👍
This just feels like the Fold 6 we should've gotten but couldnt be made in time.
Will the fold 7 look like this??
It might yes
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.
I'm curious to hear why the battery life bugs you?
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
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.
Then you should take a look at the Honor Magic V3.
😅😅,,cheap build not caring about reliability,, just for looks,,,even chinese are not happy about it breaks in few days@@EinReiseTagebuch
Make a video comparing this with the Pixel 9 pro fold.
Does esim available in this fold 6 SE
Amazing. Fold 7 can be this
If those foldable phones weren't so expensive!
Like, even with a contract they're like 60€ a month if not more which is just ridiculous!
Special Edition, but doesn't have the 5GmmWave Antenna.
Only us models have mmwave
@green9227 US, Japan, and Canada.
Me with fold 4 😅
My wallet: don’t think about it 😤
Where did you get this ? Is it available to buy ?
Is it available in india?
Only South Korea and China with a different color. You'll need a friend from there or pay a premium for someone to import it
I paid $359 plus tax for my brand new Z Fold 6 I ordered from Samsung. Spending $3000 for any phone device is just fkn stupid.
...with or w/o trade in?
For 3,000 you get the iPhone 16 pro max, the s24 ultra and the newest iPad or the newest Samsung tablet
Ngl this galaxy z fold se looks so much more premium and looks better compared to some chinese foldables
The phone is ridiculously expensive, and I love my Vivo X Fold 3 pro
Are u able to get a global Rom
The SE is global rom

3000 bucks yay no 😂 ill stick to me s22 Galaxy Ultra
Yeah samsung has lost its mind on this one aint nothin on it justifies that price tag
@@terrancemaulana4058 agreed 100% 😂

That is crazy to pay that for any kind of portable device. What u gonna do. Get on internet. Take pics. Make calls. That's about it
Nobody need it to be thinner. Bigger battery is needed and spen. Wrong direction
I like these phone 😢
I want it
Are we related?
OK OK OK ❤❤❤OK OK OK

3 what dollars ? 😭
3k?!
It’s really $2k but that’s in South Korea or China. I imported it for a premium here in the US
