I was getting the fold 3,people say,nope,wait for the fold 4. Fold 4,nope,wait for fold 5. Fold 5,nope,wait for the fold 6. And now fold 6,people are like nope,wait for fold 7😂😂😂😂
That's so amusing and a bit confusing. I can't say any of them are wrong about waiting. Let's face it though, you have to take the plunge at some point. If you're serious about getting a Samsung foldable now, I would highly recommend picking up a renewed Z-Fold 5 from Amazon or eBay. You can snag one for under $1,000 with 512GB of storage, and they typically come with a 1-year warranty from the seller. This gets you in the door for less than $1,000, and the Z-Fold 5 will likely trade in for at least that much next year. It sets you up in the trade-in cycle so you won't have to pay full price for the new phone when it drops. Personally, I hate paying full price. I'd love to hear back from you if you decide to go for it or not-no judgment here. Thanks for tuning in and commenting. Your support means a lot! 👍👍
It's like infinite loop poker, where no one folds. 😛
@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 yeah the 7 is already talked about now phones and games nowadays are getting old lol plus what if your dropped the zflip and the other half broke off that's a bad way to make a phone......get an s23 fe it's a great phone I have one IM trying to get everyone on board with this phone it's amazing my first galaxy!!!!!! So much better then tracfones!!!!
It’s because they’re sandbagging the specs. It’s lame and that’s why I refuse to get one. I want a maxed out device, regardless of price.
That would be the Samsung S24 Ultra. In the foldable world right now, it's the OnePlus Open in my opinion. The Samsung and Pixel foldables are mid-grade when it comes to hardware.
He totally missed that the Z Flip 6 has a bigger battery and better cameras vs Z Flip 5.
You’re absolutely right. Since I haven't reviewed the flip phones, they’re not top of mind for me. I’ll need to do another video to supplement the last one and dive deeper into those devices. The Flip 6 definitely seems to have upgrades that justify an upgrade, but I'm not sure about that $100 price increase. Are they offering more trade-in value for the Flip 5 this year? It seems like they’re giving more for the Fold 5 than they have for previous models. Thanks for calling me out on that-I appreciate your honesty and support! 👍👍
The flip got a bigger battery...the fold did not... The new processor just utilizes it better now. Same 4400maH
@@SolaKnitez-bt8wy yeah.. extra 30 min. So silly
well, the outer screen looks much better for me in person. i think samsung have done a great job to refine it this time, and I hope that they stick with this design. For me, this one is truly the best of both worlds for me for the foldable display size. but yeah, all the rest are just the same phone as fold 4. If you got fold 5, it's not worth upgrading at all periods.
I agree! The squared-off look really gives it that premium feel, just like the S24 Ultra. It's a shame they didn't carry that design through the whole device. You're right, besides the chipset, there's not much difference from the Z4. Thanks a lot for your comment and support!
not the same!
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 the biggest difference is the new flat hinge, much less weight, you can really feel the new class of the device, a year ago I replaced the zf4 with the zf5 practically for free, this year samsung did not give any good promotions, it's an embarrassment, eg. the fold5 is much cheaper than the fold4 a year ago despite inflation in re-buy. new graphic tricks are probably aimed at small children, draw a kitten on the bench...
Hi All, seen it at the store, the screen brightness is night and day better than my fold 5, the new screen and feel of the phone make it more phone worthy and premium, as well as being lighter and the better processor and potential better battery make it a sound upgrade EVEN from a fold 5
@yoonkung The thing that always strikes me in the reviews is when they compare the front screen between the 5 and the new 6. They often show a different page. I can't make a judgment if they show me two different web pages.
I will be trading my z fold 5 for the z fold 6. The promo is incredible when you pre order.
I completely agree with you-that's a great deal with the $1,200 trade-in value and the free upgrade to 512GB of storage. I'm not taking it myself because I pay out of pocket for all these phones to review, and spending an additional $700 on a phone that's too similar to the Z-Fold 5 doesn’t make sense for me. It’s definitely a personal decision. I'm glad to see you’re excited about it, and I hope it works out great for you. Thank you for tuning into the channel-I appreciate your comment and support!👍👍
Yeah samsung is going hard-core on the US market. Don't blame them, apple is weak at the minute
Are you kidding me, bro?You spent two thousand dollars on fold 5 You got some money? Or you're just stupid. Now you lost four thousand dollars That the phone is not that much different.You're just getting a bigger cover scream 😅😅
I currently have the z fold 5 and i love it. I'll wait until they add the ultra cameras, bigger phone, better phone speakers ( i personally thing with this form factor that a good speaker system is definitely possible), under display fingerprint sensor, cover screen s pen support, better under display camera.
You definitely covered all the key points I consider before upgrading. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for tuning into the channel. I really appreciate your support!👍👍
I'm feeling the same way for the most part, samsung added a.i and changed the appearance of the z fold 6 and that's pretty much it.
You're absolutely right! The phone is still fantastic, but the changes just aren't enough for me to justify an upgrade. As for the A.I. features, I’m not entirely convinced they’re anything more than a marketing tactic. It seems like these "exclusive" features could easily be rolled out to older devices through software updates. I wouldn't be surprised if we see these new A.I. features on the Z Fold 5 and S24 series once the hype starts to die down. Thanks so much for tuning in and sharing your thoughts-I really appreciate your support!👍👍
@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 Anytime 👍🏼... The new a.i features are definitely coming to some of the older z folds it's listed by samsung, but like you said, we will have to wait. P.s. The z fold 6 is a great phone, but for those of us who have a z fold already, it's not the upgrade we were hoping for.
I like this guy. No nonsense, honest perspective. I'm now a subscriber 👍

Just subscribed for the same reason
Thank you very much I appreciate your support. Welcome to the community! 👍
me too...
I didn't like his review at all. Not a lot of details just his opinion. U
Yeah. You buy that ring and next thing you know you're walking mumbling"My precious!!! 🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️" Lol.
I Love It! LOL. 😂🤣 Thanks for the laugh and support. 👍👍
Lord of the rings 😂😂😂😂
If you have a fold 3 or 4, the upgrade is with it to 6... Samsung knows most people don't do annual upgrades.
It is lighter than the 5, which is important to me. The heavier phones are giving me terrible thumb strain
Absolutely, upgrading from the Z Fold 3 or 4 to the Z Fold 6 is a fantastic choice, especially if you took advantage of the great trade-in value promo-what a deal! Thanks so much for tuning into the channel and sharing your thoughts. Your support means a lot to me!👍👍
I feel the promotional pricing when you trade-in and bundling is very aggressive for the 6. Heck, I was able to trade in an original Galaxy S for $480CAD, get 50% off the buds, 50% watch 7 ultra + additional $100, $200 off MSRP, and $600 off in bill credits by my cell provider. If one is considering a Fold5 instead, if interested in getting the watch or buds, you'll probably do better bundling with the Fold6, even without a plan activation.
Hey there! Sounds like you scored some awesome deals! You're absolutely right - trading in and bundling can be a total game-changer for your wallet. I snagged the Watch Ultra and Buds 3 combo myself and ended up saving a ton! Crazy enough, they gave me $350 for my old Watch 6 - that's what I originally paid for it! With all the promotions, I got the Ultra for just $279 and the Buds Pro 3 for $79.
Like I said, it really depends on what you can trade in, so everyone’s savings will be different.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! Your support means a lot! 👍👍
Awesome video trade in Values are crazy high on the pre order. Hopefully the zfold 7 has ultra cameras and larger battery.
I'm with you on this. Samsung will need to really redeem themselves next year if they want to regain the loyalty of their customers. With so many options out there now, the competition is getting really steep, and Samsung needs to step up. Thanks for tuning in and sharing your thoughts. Your support means a lot to me! 👍👍
I totally agree with you. My z5 will see me through. EVERY TIME 😊
Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. It's awesome to hear I'm not alone in feeling this way about the Z Fold 5. I bet it's going to be a fantastic phone for years to come! Thanks again for your support - it means a lot. 👍👍
I upgraded from the fold 5 and dont regret a thing. People need to realize other foldable brands make phones that open into a tablet, samsung makes a tablet that folds into a usable phone. Once you understand that distinction youll understand the form factor.
1. The crease is greatly improved even from the 5. You can barely feel it unless you press hard or go looking for it.
2. The hinge is superb. Even on the 5 it felt like the hinge was part of the front screen, noticeable and in the way. The 6 really reduced the hinge to the point you forget its there.
3. The front screen might only seem like a minor improvememt on paper in terms of size but its worlds apart and feels much bigger in person. Best of both worlds in terms of form factor and usability.
4. The phone is so much lighter than the specs reveal. The weight distribution is superb and it feels great in the hand
5. The phone is so much cooler compared to the 5. Im currently caseless and its cooler to the touch then when i had a case on my 5. I use the phone intensively and its so much more comfortable even if it still does get warm, its not uncomfortably hot.
6. It just all around feels more polished and no longer like a prototype as the older interations felt like. It truly feels like a normal slab phone when closed, and the square edges really are chefs kiss. The screens are bright and crisp.
7. I got my fold for under 500 based on trade-ins promos and cash back. No other phone manufacturer offers this level of discount on a flagship day 1 and samsung has done it for years. People keep focusing on sticker price and not out the door price. Samsung is by far the cheapest best quality foldable you will get at launch if you live in countries where they offer aggressive deals.
It's definitely a worthy upgrade. If you get a good deal, go for it.
Great insight! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's always exciting when a great deal comes together. Last year, I faced a similar choice and decided to upgrade from the Z4 to the Z5. At the time, it was between that and the Pixel Fold, but the Pixel's first-gen status, older chip, and two-year-old cameras made the decision easy. This year, though, the Pixel Fold has really stepped up with a design that's closer to the Z Fold and OnePlus Open.
I totally get the comfort and loyalty to Samsung if you haven't tried another foldable. Honestly, once I started using the OnePlus Open, I realized there was more innovation out there than I initially thought with the Z Fold. I truly appreciate and respect your perspective. It's great to have you in the community and hear your insights. Thanks for being a part of the conversation!👍👍
Those that like upgrades, however incremental, do appreciate the Fold 6. I too would like to see a larger upgrade. But I don't ever take pictures. The fold 5 camera is more than adequate. I bought the fold for its' tablet form. And this one seems to be much better, with an improved front screen.
I'm all in. Glass half full is a full glass to me.
As long as they continue to make meaningful improvements, I'll continue to upgrade.
NOW. If they only upgraded the camera. And let's say they made it the best camera in existence, then I would not upgrade. That is not important to me, and I would gander a guess it is not important to most who purchase such a device.
I totally get where you're coming from. Everyone has their own expectations for their devices. The main thing is figuring out if the Z Fold 6 is right for you. Thanks for tuning in and sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate your support and I'm so glad you're part of the community!👍👍
Just got the z fold 6. Way better, lighter, faster and overall better feel. Att is giving them away
That's a good way to get one. I'm guessing it's part of a contract program. Thanks for sharing.
I tried the fold 6 and compared it to my fold 4 at best buy. I ordered the fold 6 later that day. My new fold 6 arrives tomorrow. For the record, even though the front screen isnt much bigger it sure feels bigger. Texting on the front screen of my fold 4 is a pain but the fold 6 felt better because the screen is bigger and the bezels are much smaller. If you have a fold 5 I would wait until next year and see what samsung does with the fold 7. I only upgraded because I got $1200 for my old phone. My bill actually went down. Good luck.
That's a real-life story for sure! Thanks for sharing your experience. I completely agree with you-that's a fantastic trade-in value and an awesome upgrade from the Four to the Six. I'm sure you'll love the Z-Fold 6 and all the extra functionality on the front screen. Thanks for tuning into the channel and sharing your thoughts. Your support means a lot!👍
Well this wise man is absolutely correct. Samsung is fooling it's customer's without any upgrades since years.
Hey there! Thanks so much for the kind words! I know, right? It’s a bummer that Samsung focused all the love on the Z Flip 6. I’m really hoping the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will blow us away!
Thanks again for watching and commenting. Your support means a lot! 👍👍
I have a S20 Ultra. I can't decide between the Z Fold 6 and 24 Ultra. I had the Z Fold 3 and I ended up damaging the hinge by accident and also stupidly removed the inner film because it began bubbling and I didn't know Samsung replaced them. I found the Z Fold 3 to be really delicate and it made me nervous to get another one. I honestly see no huge improvements from 3 to 6. The ultra on the other hand has bigger battery, and better cameras. But the foldable phone is a beauty and the cameras and battery are good enoough. I liked using the s pen, getting things done and even watching content, playing games on a bigger screent.
Its either Z Fold 5 right now, or wait until S25 Ultra for me...
I totally get your worry about the Z Fold 3 being fragile after your experience. I know that can be a real bummer. I've used both the Fold 4 and 5, and honestly, they feel pretty sturdy. The 5 is even a bit tougher than the 4, in my opinion.
You can't go wrong with the Fold 5, but try to snag a good deal - under $1000 would be awesome! Check out refurbished options on eBay or Amazon. Just make sure it comes with a warranty for peace of mind.
I know you're coming from the top-tier with the s20 Ultra and being used to the S-Pen, so it's tough to downgrade to anything without it. But let me tell you, the difference between the Fold 5 and 6 isn't huge. Unless you can get a killer trade-in for the 6, the 5 is probably your best bet to save some cash.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Your support means a lot. 👍👍
Lol, they turned their earbud into a 5-year-old different color of AirPods.
You're right about that; they actually do look like AirPods. Samsung isn't stopping at copying the iPhone's looks. I did order the Earbuds Pro 3 because my Buds Pro 2 batteries aren't lasting like they used to. I'm just someone who doesn't like to wear ear jewelry, so I'm not sure if I'm going to like that stem sticking out of my ear. 🎧
For the Fold 6 the mega pixel size for the cameras haven't changed, but the sensor and image signal processor chipset for the ultra wide camera has been upgraded for better night and low light photography and videos.
Thanks for sharing your insight! I really appreciate your knowledge and willingness to contribute. I'm thrilled you tuned into the channel and grateful for your comment and support.👍
I have z fold 5 next to z fold 6.
I migrated and it's a big difference when it comes to texting. Those extra mm really does make a big difference than you think when it comes to messaging. That's the only why I migrated. No more crazy ass text errors.
That's great to hear. I'm pleased you're happy with the upgrade. That's always been an issue for me with the Z Fold 5. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. 👍👍
100 percent agree I stopped upgrading
Thank you for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it when you confirm my honest and straightforward approach. Your support means a lot to me!
Some very sarcastic review. I'm 62 years old and have been using nothing but Macbook, iPads and iPhones all my life but I'm switching for Fold 6. I buy the newest and and best devices at the time of sale and use them till they breakdown or I need a new one. Now their use stretches out even further because I can exchange batteries on Apple devices. I carry a iPhone and mini-iPad together many times because I need both for work. I don't know if an android will be able to carry out work that I need, but for first time in my life I'm switching early to Fold 6s and have ordered 2 for my wife and I.
The reason I didn't buy Fold 5 was because of weight, thickness of the phone, creases and just chunkiness! Although crease still seems to be there, for a simple guy like me, other deficiencies have gotten much~much better. From remarks below, It seems like some of your guests feel the same way. I agree that that Fold 7 will probably have improvements, but I'm still excited to get my new phones which have been shipped. Especially since I've gotten $1,100 trade in credits (phones in any condition) for both phones.
I totally understand why you noticed some sarcasm in my review. Fun fact: I actually worked for Apple for several years during the development of the iPhone 4 through 11, so I know the ins and outs of Apple products really well. I switched to Android for ethical reasons and decided to leave Apple. Meanwhile, my wife still loves her iPhone and iPad Mini. For me, I wanted more freedom with my devices.
That said, if you approach your new Z Fold 6 with an open mind and give yourself time to adjust, you'll really enjoy it. Since it's all new to you, the excitement will give you that fresh, new feel. Having gone through several versions of the Z Fold myself, I did start to notice the same minor upgrade cycle that I experienced with the iPhone. As a reviewer, I might be a bit more critical than the average consumer, which helps me give you an honest take.
You’ve picked a fantastic device to make the switch with, and I hope your transition is smooth. Thanks for tuning into the channel and for leaving your comment. I truly appreciate your support!👍
I'm coming from an A53 5G. It's definitely worth the upgrade. I will wait for the promo's for the headphones and watch. Because i want that Ultra and AirPod pro, i mean beans with sprouts.
Congratulations on your upgrade! You're going to love the Z Fold 6. I went a different route and decided to pass on the Fold 6 this time, opting instead for the Ultra Watch and Pro Buds. Thanks for watching the video and leaving your comment-your support means the world to me!👍👍
I totally agree with you. Every youtuber is hyping the Fold. There's really nothing exciting about the Fold 6. I'll wait for the Fold Ultra. Hopefully we get camera upgrade in 2025. Huge flop this year.
Thanks for the confirmation! I appreciate you tuning into the channel and leaving a comment. We’re definitely on the same page. Hopefully, the next Z Fold will at least improve the cameras. Thanks again for your comment and support!👍
I had all the Z Folds but the 1st one. From 2 to 3 you got water resistance. From 3 to 4 you got better cameras. From 4 to 5 you got better design and better endurance. From 5 to 6 you will get a better design and a hair wider. So basically every year you're buying a Z Fold 2 just a slightly better design. Knowing that I still upgraded because the deals are at an All-Time High. $1200 off plus $230 off Watch Ultra and $80 off Buds Pro 3 is a excellent deal. For newer tech I traded my Z Fold 5 in. Which gave it $1200 off the Z Fold 6. That means you pay $500 for 256 gb , I paid $600 for 512 gb, and if I wanted 1 terabytes it would've been $700 for the phone. Not bad at all. I went with 512 gb because I never use more than 200 to 300 gb of storage. And if I did I would do a trade in before It gets closer to 420 gb
I totally get where you're coming from and agree with your strategy. When I used to buy Apple devices, I upgraded every year too. Like you mentioned, trading in at the right time can get you the best deal. So, if you can afford it and enjoy having the latest tech, there's nothing wrong with upgrading yearly. Staying current with tech is always exciting, and this year is no different.
In my videos, I try to highlight things that might not be obvious to those who don't upgrade every year. I usually don't buy the top-of-the-line watches, but this year, I decided to trade in my Watch Series 6 for the Ultra. They offered me a $350 trade-in, which was actually more than what I paid originally thanks to a great deal I got back then.
As long as you're purposeful and deliberate about understanding your savings, it can be a really smart move. Thanks for sharing your perspective and story. I appreciate you watching the video and your support!👍👍
What about upgrading from S22 Ultra to Z Fold 6? Should I do it?
That's a tough one. Samsung is offering a $650 trade-in for the S22 Ultra in the US, but you'd still be paying over $1200 for a foldable. You might get some of that back in trade next year when Samsung releases the phone they should have released this year, assuming you trade again. Over two years, you'd end up paying nearly full price for the Z7. If this is your first foldable, you could get the Z5 512GB model renewed on Amazon for under $1000, or possibly find a better deal on eBay, both with a one-year warranty. You could trade in your S22 Ultra for a smaller value or just keep it. In the grand scheme of things, you'd be ahead next year. Or, you could wait and see what Google offers with the Fold 2 next month. Just do the math and decide what works best for you. Let me know what you decide-no judgment here. Good luck, my friend, and thanks for tuning in and commenting. I appreciate your support! 👍
Im still on the zfold 3. Was hoping they would increase the battery capacity for the fold 6 but 4400mah still is kinda shit
Yep, it's been one letdown after another with the Z-Fold 6. While there have been promises of improvements and better battery management from the Z-Fold 3 to the 6, my breaking point was the cameras staying the same for four generations. Sure, there's some updated processing power, but essentially, it's the same old cameras. It may be time to consider the Pixel Fold 2! For now I'm enjoying the OnePlus Open. Thanks for tuning into the channel-I really appreciate your comment and support!👍👍
Great review, very objective and to the point. I'm glad you're not drinking the "samsung Kool aid". I have the OnePlus open and I'm going to stay with it although i do miss the S pen. Keep up with your great reviews.
Thank you for your encouragement and kind words! Reviewing these devices is a blast, but it can get pricey. I can't afford to drink any Kool-Aid, haha! 🤣 I have both the Z5 and the OnePlus, so I could go back to using the S-Pen, but I don’t. I do miss it, but I guess not enough to make a difference. I need to look into the OnePlus pen-nobody talks about it, so I’m not sure how good it is. Maybe I'll be the one to review it. Thanks again, I really appreciate your support! 👍👍
Thank You Sir for being Honest . I am baffled how so many big youtubers are trying to sell this phone to their viewers . Crazy how samsung can increase the price by 100 usd without adding any standout change .
You and me both! It’s clear that many of us share the same feelings. I wouldn’t be surprised if their sales drop by a few million this year. Luckily, we have plenty of other options. Thanks for tuning in and watching the video-I appreciate your comment and support!👍👍
It's now got ray tracing for gaming, a faster processor, has a better heat sink, it's much brighter, a little wider, a little thinner, and the edges more square.
You hit the nail on the head there. Gaming isn't really my thing, so I hadn't considered that perspective. I can see how having a lighter device with faster processing could be a big bonus for gamers. Redesigning the heat sink for a cooler handheld device is definitely a plus too.Thanks for bringing that up; I appreciate your contribution to the community and your support!👍👍
😂 everybody talking about upgrade cameras WHY?. ITS nothing wrong with the cameras 😂 are yall trying to record movies on a cell phone, make it make sense. These phones are awesome with what they can do, people complain about anything
I completely understand your perspective and welcome it to the community. In the world of phones, there are so many different types of users with various priorities. For some, it's the camera; for others, it's the processor or a large screen. When a company doesn't upgrade their cameras for three years, it's natural for those who value camera performance to speak up.
If you watch more of my videos, you'll see that I do like Samsung phones and believe they have the best UI on Android. However, when any manufacturer becomes stagnant in an area, people will voice their opinions. Personally, I hate paying full price for any phone, so I always look for ways around it. When upgrading doesn't make sense, I just skip a generation.
Thank you for tuning into the channel. I appreciate your perspective and comments, and thank you for being part of the community!👍
@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 at what point does the camera upgrades stop? Like how much better can they get when they are really great now
That's a great question, and it really comes down to personal preference. The challenge is that different manufacturers prioritize different features-some have 5x zoom cameras, others have 10x, and photo processing quality varies a lot. There are so many factors that determine how great a photo can be. Right now, Samsung is kind of in the middle and doesn’t rank as high as the iPhone or Pixel phones for photo processing. To compete, they really need to use better cameras, like they do with the S24 Ultra, which is their only phone that can truly compete with other top manufacturers. But again, it’s all about what you prefer. There are many "pixel peepers" out there always looking for the best options.
*SAMSUNG FOLD :*
Not Slim / No Pen / Not even good Camera / Visible crease / Brightness ehh 😏
OK NO PROBLEM
But atleast give bigger battery, dont mind even if its 200mAh less than Vivo x Fold Pro 3
Yup, full of disappointment this year. Maybe next year they'll get it right. 👍
THE RING...OVER PRICE
THE WATCH...OVER PRICE
THE FOLD 6...THE SAME AS FOLD 5
SAVE YOUR MONEY, THERE'S NOTHING SPECTACULAR ON THIS PRODUCTS.
I agree with you on most of the announcements. After giving it some more thought and because of the generous trade-in value, I decided to order the Watch Ultra and the new Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Both have new designs, and I'm hopeful they'll be a great improvement over the previous versions. Stay tuned to the channel, and I'll keep you updated. Thanks for watching and commenting-I really appreciate your support!👍👍
🔏 Samsung didn't even bother to make the S-pen usable on the front screen.
Yes, that's another box checked in the disappointment column for the Z-Fold 6. Samsung just really stacked them up this time. Hopefully they'll learn their lesson as they lose sales this year and make up for it on the Z-Fold 7. Thanks for tuning into the channel and commenting I appreciate your support!👍👍
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 👍
Do you review over seas devices like honor magic v2 or vivo x fold 3?
I'd love to review those devices! Unfortunately, since every purchase comes straight out of my pocket, I have to limit myself to devices available in the US. However, I do wait for price drops, like I did with the OnePlus Open, and then go for the best deal I can find. From my research, those two phones look really impressive. I'm hopeful they'll be released globally soon; I'll be keeping an eye out. Thanks for watching and commenting; your support means a lot to me!
great video, and I atleast appreciate the extra info and what I understood already after the event.....keep your fold 5 or flip 5 like you said upgrade the fold 5 to the fold 6 pay a extra 700 not worth it. The flip 6 though would have been a solid upgrade but the trade in value is horrible for that one and you will still end up paying 400 plus after trade in for min upgrades. So I say like the OP said wait until next year, wait a few months and get it cheap after market, or wait to see what the pixel fold 2 has next month.
That’s a fantastic summary of my thoughts! Thanks for tuning into the channel and commenting. I completely agree-waiting is the best option right now, whether it's for the price to drop or to see how the Google Pixel Fold turns out. I appreciate your support and for being part of the community!👍👍
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 your very welcome, great content and I’m glad I’m now a subscriber
The fold 6 needed a bigger front screen, bigger battery , the dark corning non reflective glass, s pen outer screen, it was alright but incremental and I might wait until fold 7 or fold 6 slim. The software is excellent but the hardware needs work . I might get the book 4 pro 360 laptop or tab s10 instead. Its true Honor is winning w Huawei, Xiaomi , One Plus and Vivo in hardware. Its strange because the s24 ultra has good hardware. For me I'd rather buy the pro 360 4 laptop since I need a new laptop after my surface book 2 died and even despite wanting a foldable I will wait for fold 6 slim or fold 7 ultra until I get sufficient hardware simultaneously
I really respect your thought process and agree with everything you said. I hope whatever you decide works out great for you. Thanks for watching and commenting-I appreciate your support!👍👍
I'm still waiting for Samsung to find a space inside the body for the S pen and front screen stylus capability. Until then there seems little reason to upgrade from Fold 4.
Since foldables are getting thinner and lighter, I don't think we'll ever see an S Pen in a silo on the device. The closest we'll get is what we saw with the Z Fold 5, having the pen attached to the case. Thanks for tuning into the channel and leaving your comment. I appreciate your support!👍
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 Actually Samsung had a similar pen holder case for Fold 4 but it was not particularly well designed. I'll still hold hope that they incorporate some kind of stylus into the device as I'm certain most Fold fans would as well. Folds are a fantastic concept and I'm hopeful that this concept continues. Perhaps Apple will in the future introduce a folding device and that might encourage Samsung to be more innovative in this range of devices. Thanks for your response, much appreciated. Cheers.
@@juliandwyer9367 That would be a big feat to be able to slide an S pen into the thin foldable. I don't believe one that would be sizable enough to hold would fit in my OnePlus Open and the Z Fold 6 is thinner. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Thanks for the conversation, it's an interesting thought. 👍
What a crock of Sh!t. I still have my Z Fold 3 and as far as I can tell there is no reason for me to get this. When are they going to make the folding screen and front screen bigger. Both of them at the moment are too bloody small. The folding screen is too small for tablet stuff, and the front screen is too small for phone stuff. I hardly even bother folding my phone, hence the reason why it still works flawlessly to this day as the front screen is completely useless.
It’s definitely interesting how they think they can keep getting away with this. I upgraded from the four to the five, but after seeing the six, I’ve decided not to go for it again. I’m using the OnePlus Open now, and it seems like a great size for a foldable. I’m really looking forward to the Pixel Pro 9 Fold, as it looks even bigger. Samsung might lose a lot of sales this year, and hopefully, they’ll learn from that. Thanks for tuning into the channel and leaving your comment-I truly appreciate your support!👍👍
UPDATE: I went to the Samsung Experience store to see first hand how the Fold 6 is. I have had a Note 20 Ultra, a 23U and now a 24U. I am a S Pen lover but I have had phones without a stylus and could survive.
In the past when trying folds they were awful clunky bricks to me and that front screen was too narrow to be useable by me. Disliked no S Pen onboard tho case is ok and did not like the front screen not being S Pen compatible.
The new phones are much better feeling.
Even with the security block on it, it felt slimmer and nice in hand. The squared off look was nice like my 24U.
Front screen was wider and I could live with it. A bit cramped but it was ok. I still would prefer S Pen functionality on front screen, especially since it is narrow
Colors ( a personal choice for sure ) - I liked the blue and silver. The pink was too pale and the black carbon felt like shiny plastic. Had it been matte, I think it would have been nicer. The crease was absolutely better but I am still not a lover of that. I would imagine that overtime one would see it less as damper wires on an older monitor. That said I always saw them ;=)
So, in summary - Go see them in person if you can - if I was willing to pay 800+ with a trade-in, I think I could enjoy it. But That is too expensive. Maybe next year or maybe I will win their sweepstakes ;=)
Thank you for sharing your hands-on experience! I had no doubt it felt premium and lightweight. The OpenPlus Open (OP) weighs the same as the F6, and its thinner design definitely feels better in the hand. I completely agree that the S-Pen should work on both screens-why that hasn’t been achieved yet is beyond me, unless it's a cost issue.
The newer slim hinge on the OP makes the screen dip less noticeable, which is a nice touch. I agree with you, while the F6 is a great foldable, it's not enough of an upgrade from the F5 for me, especially with the added cost. I’m looking for more improvements.
Thanks for tuning in and leaving your comment. I appreciate your support!👍👍
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 you're most welcome
Only thing to consider is a trade in - like he said. I think it would be worth it for a ealirer fold (battery, screen protectors coming off extra).
Yes, trade-in value is definitely a key factor, along with what you're getting in return. Each person needs to carefully consider the pros and cons of upgrading. I hope my pointers can make that decision a bit easier for everyone. Thank you for watching the video and commenting; your support means a lot!👍👍
I got the z fold 6 in navy and im really happy with my phone i got the upgrade storage to 512GB and ive been loving my phone
That is great. I'm glad you got in on the early deal to upgrade storage. It's definitely a great phone, enjoy! Thank you for tuning into the channel and for sharing. I appreciate your support!👍🤑
What About the capacity of battery??
And also slow charging :/
It's just like the Z Fold 5-no changes there. The 4400mAh battery and 25W charging seem a bit underwhelming for a large foldable device. My nearly 3-year-old Samsung S7 Tab has 45W charging, so it's surprising Samsung didn't up their game here. Thanks for tuning into the channel and sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate your support!👍👍
I'm still rocking my zfold 3 .. should I upgrade
I believe so. The Z Fold 3 has a trade-in value of $900, which is fantastic and even higher than its actual value! If your phone is in good working condition with just normal wear and tear, I’d definitely recommend upgrading. There are plenty of reasons to justify the upgrade for just $900, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing! Please let us know what you decide, and thank you for your support. 👍
I also have the z3 but after taxes and everything it comes out to over 1100 clams. I don't know if I want to spend that much. I did go ahead and order the ultra and buds pro
Loved this channel. Really hope more people were like him: honest and down to earth.
I'm using a S21 FE (exynos edition), hoping to change in the end of the year. It would be awesome if you could make a list of best phones to buy 👍
Thank you so much for your kind words and support-I really appreciate it! I would love to create a video on the best phones to buy. I recently got the S23FE specifically for review purposes, and it's truly a fantastic phone. If you check out my video list, you'll find a comparison where I pit it against the S24 and the Pixel 8 Pro, and it held its own quite well. In terms of budget phones, it's at the top of my list.
I'm relatively new to this channel, so I don't have a vast array of devices yet, but I'm steadily building a good collection from various manufacturers. I'll definitely consider doing a best phones video every six months-it's a great idea. Many creators only do end-of-year roundups, which I agree aren't always as helpful, given that phones launch throughout the year.
Thanks again for the fantastic suggestion and the encouraging compliment. Your participation in the community and your support mean a lot to me! 👍👍
Since my Fold 4 is having some power and audio issues after two years of heavy use, and with an unfortunate event where my insurance lapsed, im trading in for the Fold 6 and Buds 3 Pro. I get a phone that's over half a pound lighter.7mm thinner, with actual dust resistance, and I get my insurance back.
That's a great perspective! I'd likely upgrade too if I were in the same boat. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and tuning into the channel!
Got mine last week and im coming from Iphone of 10 years. Loving it everyday plus that trade-in was crazy to pass up
Welcome to the fold family! I'm sure you're going to love it. There might be some adjustment and iPhone withdrawals at first, but once you fully transition and experience the freedom, it gets really good. Enjoy the new experience!

That's not entirely true about the AI stuff. Only devices running the SD 8 gen 3 get generative AI on device processing. So "on device" AI processing is limited to the newer devices, including the s24 line.
It can be a bit confusing since they're using Gemini tech from Google Pixel which is not specific to Snapdragons chipset. Samsung is clearly doing some tweaking to call it Samsung or Galaxy AI. I'm not certain if there's a limit on the AI capabilities of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 because I haven't heard much about it. But that doesn't mean I'm right-I'll need to dig into this more. Thanks for bringing it up!
I really appreciate you tuning into the channel and leaving your comment. I enjoy being challenged and aim to provide great content. Your support means a lot to me! 👍👍
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 You're welcome, keep up the great content. To be 100% honest, I'm not totally clear on it all either. They like to put the marketing speak in front of us, and it's really to hard to gather what's really going on behind closed doors. All of these companies are so deeply in bed together, it's really hard to tell the truth from fiction. I'm definitely interested in what you come up with. Have a great rest of the weekend!
@@RADERFPV Thank you for your honest response I appreciate it. As of today my Pixel phones and my Samsung S24, Z-Fold 5 and even the S23FE which has the 8gen 1 chip all have the same AI features. That said, I don't think any on-device features have actually been released yet. It's all future tech.
Is it now the right time to upgrade from Z fold 4? Here where i live in Europe, the trade in value is 880 euros (equal to roughly 960 us). With all the bonuses and discounts final price for the Fold 6 would be 932 euros (equal to 1.000 us) for the 512gb config plus 1 year of free Samsung Care+. I've been using my fold 4 for 2 years and half, and i already had a display and audio issue. Luckily it was under warranty and they replaced the entire display. I'm worried another failure in the display or hinge could occur especially now that the warranty expired. I've read that the zfold 4 hinge is the weakest point. I might be able to wait another year for the Fold 7 but then i worry that the trade in value for the Fold 4 will be even lower. What do you think? Thanks!
Samsung is offering a generous trade-in value for the F3, which is more than it's worth-making it hard to pass up. It would be a great upgrade to the F6. However, next year, the F7 will likely be the phone we all wanted this year, and the F3 will be worth a lot less by then. Unfortunately, one just has to do the math and see if it makes sense. The F6 will have a pretty good trade-in value, and over the two years, you'll end up paying full price for the F7 if you get my drift. At least the cost will be spread out over the two years. Tough decision, but either way it will be a great phone and better than what you have now. Good luck my friend and thank you for sharing your question. 👍👍
If they make tech leap on the next generation, it's going to be more expensive and not require the aggressive marketing promotions that we're seeing now with the 6. They know it's just a slightly better Fold 5, and priced it as such. Value wise, you'll probably do well switching now. Worst case scenario, if by chance they offer similar or better deals with the 7 or later, you'll get the top trade in value for the 6 where as the 3 will only continue to depreciate.
@juanhusingz thanks. Yeah that is what I thought and decided to make the switch now. This year the trade in offer for the fold 4 is quite good. Next year i think it will be lower. And the 6 will have a much better trade in value.
This fold 6 is so badly needed to replace half baked fold 5 and worst siblings before that. This fold 6 is the beginning of the everything
Right folding phones that samsung should have started with , thanks to pixel fold and other foldable brands. Im upgrading from fold 4 as the fold 4 really has quality control issues with the screen apart from the external screen that is way too narrow for Men's thumb.
Hey there! The Z Fold 6 is a fantastic phone and the trade in makes it more affordable. What's important is that it works for you, and it sounds like it does. Enjoy every moment with your new device! Thanks so much for watching the channel and sharing your thoughts. Your support means a lot to me!👍
My Z Fold4 is still going strong two years later.
@smartphonefan5226 my z fold 4 hinge brushes came apart even if I had an otter case on. Had to change it for the s23 ultra. *sigh* I love the z fold. But it's a toss up if you get a good unit or not
@@rafaelconejos6662Sorry you happened to be one of the unfortunate. With millions sold they still have a good record of good units. The tough part will be leaving the great hardware on the S23 Ultra. I would try one more time and purchase the additional warranty. I did that for the Z fold 5 and then canceled the warranty after a year. It was $7.50 a month for peace of mind. In the end no issues. Good luck whatever you decide!
I got the z fold 3, been waiting for the 6 for a while. Its worth it to upgrade imo from the 3 to the 6 while i totally understand not upgrading a z fold 5 to a 6. It totally depends.

Agreed on the fold 6 but flip 6 has a better 50mp camera which is needed vs the flip 5. Bigger battery finally too and more ram upto 12gb. Flip 6 is definitely worth the upgrade, that's coming from a almost year long flip 5 user that hasn't been impressed with the flip 5 coming from a fold 4
I completely agree with you! I don't know if you've seen it, but I made a second video on the Z Flip. I think it's a much better upgrade than the Fold six because it has more hardware and features added this year. Hopefully, you won't be as disappointed as you were with the last upgrade-this one’s a great choice. Thanks for tuning into the channel, and I really appreciate your support!
I've been trying to work out the math for the past few hours and looking at my Z-fold five this is a tough year. Last year was tough too, but when I physically got a hand on the device and I waited a little longer, I got a really decent deal to upgrade my Z-fold 4 to the 5 and was able to even upgrade to the one terabyte version fairly inexpensive. I'm waiting to upgrade to the next device only if the cameras improve, and the stylist can write on the front screen... I did get some galaxy buds pro threes though...... are you planning on upgrading to the Z fold6? Also, thank you for the video.
Absolutely, the cost of a foldable can get pretty high. I upgraded from the Z4 to the Z5, and like you, I don't think the Z6 is worth it due to the lack of camera improvements. I also believe the S-Pen should work on both screens.
I'm considering the Buds3 Pro since my Buds2 Pro are losing their charge. I've been trying to justify getting the Z6, but I just can't. Even with $1200 for the Z5, it's still another $700 for essentially the same thing. I'm going to pass on it.
Thanks for being part of the community. I appreciate your support! 👍
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 yeah, I agree 700 is a lot to upgrade for phone especially for me having the one ter bite option put $700 towards something else thanks for the reply
@@consumercompute Exactly, $700 is a big chunk towards a different phone for me to review. The channel is not monetized so it's all out of my pocket for now. You can actually get a watch and earbuds for less than that. I'm enjoying the conversation. Thanks!
I was looking for the camera specs. It was limited fluffy description. So the S24 ultra camera is crazy amazing. Sounds like zfold is not nearly the same? Was going to jump to the fold but now I'm getting cold feet.
I can't believe they still haven't fix the crease when Opo has done it. I'm wanting to jump to that larger screen but the weight of the S24 U is already heavy to hold and is bulky. Do trade the S24 ultra or wait for the 7?
I completely get where you’re coming from regarding the Z Fold’s cameras! When you invest in a premium device, you rightfully expect top-tier camera performance, just like what you find on the S24 Ultra. It’s been a consistent frustration for me across various Z Fold versions too. I also expected the crease to diminish with the newly designed hinge, so that was a surprise that it didn't. Thank you for tuning in and sharing your thoughts. I appreciate your support!
Gonna upgrade to zfold 6 from s23ultra. Didnt have to. But 6th gen i think will be a safe time to try a foldable. Im not worried about cameras. There are no bad cameras in this day in age compared to old school cameras growing up. Not sure what people want in a camera. Its still a slightly ever improved version of the fold 5 yet with going to i48 water and dust protection, lighter and thinner, and 7 yrs of promised upgrades now on zfold6. Still funny how i can buy a much more powerful laptop for half the price.
I totally agree with you! If you don't use the S Pen much on the S23 Ultra, switching to a foldable is a great idea. It's a solid choice for your first foldable, and since you're already familiar with Samsung, I think you'll love it and adapt quickly. Thanks for tuning into the channel and sharing your thoughts. Your support means a lot!👍👍
It´s not that great talk about devices when not have use/try them out. :)
Samsung did go the Safe route, ofc. could have done some more BUT...
Did get everything this year and Fold 6 for me is worth it just on design. (5 feels like a relic after a day with the 6)
Galaxy Ultra was a no brainer, Large and Bulky i always buy and it works damn solid.
Buds Pro is the ones i did´t think much about, but damn they did a great job on them.
So was nothing "WoW" this year but the small things they did was solid. And this time around we have solid buds and a solid watch for the collection. :)
I agree with you-nothing really over the top this year. I ordered the Watch Ultra too, and they gave me a $350 trade-in for my Watch 6, which is awesome. I also got the new Buds Pro 3. I'm excited to use and review both of them. Thanks for tuning into the channel and leaving your comment. I appreciate your support!👍👍
But is the screen glossy -the inside screen. is it anti-glare like the OnePlus Open?
They didn't mention the screen glossiness at the event. With the new liquid coating and screen design, it might be less noticeable than on the Z Fold 5. I'll definitely check it out in person. Great question-thanks for tuning in and leaving your comment!👍
Is this guy just as critical of Apple making the same phones again, as he is with Samsung???
That's a great question! I actually worked for Apple for several years, and now the only Apple device in my home belongs to my wife. I moved away from Apple because of the lack of changes. I do mention this in my iPhone reviews. I genuinely prefer Android because of the variety and differences between devices. Thank you for tuning into the channel and for your question-it keeps me honest! I'm glad you're part of the community, and I truly appreciate your support.👍👍
I have the fold 5 the fold 6 still isnt wide enough. I cant justify the upgrade unless the outer screen was wider. 1cm isnt even close to enogh.
My sentiments exactly. For me I'm also a camera user so the cameras should be premium when you're paying a premium price like the S24 Ultra. Thank you for tuning into the channel I appreciate your comment and support. 👍👍
They barely increased the width not nearly wide enough for me, but what people don't talk about is they made it shorter which is ridiculous. Which equates to in terms of multitasking functionality. In vertical mode you barely get and increase in width compared to zfold 4 in open horizontal mode you actually lose width compared to zfold 4. I agree with you definitely not worth the upgrade from a zfold 4 stand point. I will wait to see what OnePlus Open 2 looks like next year and seeing if Honor Magic 3 makes a global release worth using in the US with google play store and maps compatibility. Honor Magic 3 looks amazing I really wish it would be available in the US that would definitely kick samsung in to gear or at least we would hope. Samsung has just become the Android version of apple every since LG fell out of the Phone Business, Samsung has gotten extremely lazy with improvements.
You're right about the size changes. I mentioned that in a couple of videos. I wish they increased the screen to at least 7.8". Making it smaller, shocks me too. I'm looking forward to the Pixel fold 2. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate your support.👍
Ive been loyal to samsung for many years but if u have a fold 3 is it worth the trade?? Im just afraid i get the 6 then the fold 7 is on a complete different level that we been waiting for

Thank you for your feedback I really appreciate it. I think you have a great plan there. Welcome to the community. 👍
Watch Ultra looks Good but the Band
looks Cheap. 4400 mAh Battery in the
Fold 6 is just atrocious. 😑
I hear you-I’m not sure if I’m liking the look of the Watch Ultra either. I’m taking my time deciding because my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is still in great shape and lasts several days. As for the Z-Fold 6, I get why the battery size hasn’t changed much; they’ve gone for a slimmer profile and smaller package. Hopefully, the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset will make the battery last longer. Thank you for your comment and support-I really appreciate it!👍
Is Z Fold 6 worth upgrading from Fold 4?
That’s a great question! If they’re still offering a good trade-in deal, it's definitely something to think about. Now, if you're expecting a huge leap forward, you might be a little disappointed. But you would definitely notice a speed boost with the new chip and graphics. Plus, having software updates and security protection for the next seven years is a huge deal. The F6 screen is also a lot brighter, which would be awesome for outdoor use.
Ultimately, the choice is yours! I think you’d be happy with the upgrade if you can swing it.
I hope this helps! Thanks for dropping by and leaving your question. 👍
Gen X straight to the point, thx. Samsung is just disappointing with the lack of changes. Had some time with the Fold 5 and just wasn't feeling it. Got my wife the OnePlus Open and she loved it and then returned the favor with the OPO on my birthday. Software is not as refined as Sammy but the hardware is great. I thought Sammy might take some cues but it looks like they are but from Apple on how to screw their customers with mediocre upgrades.
Wait, am I Gen X? I didn't even notice! Lol. It's interesting how you've moved on to the OnePlus Open, just like I have. I still have the Z-Fold 5 because I need it for comparisons. You're right about the software too-I believe Samsung's One UI is the best Android experience out there. However, when they fall behind on technology, we have to move on. I suspect they're a bit distracted this year with their contract to help Apple with their first foldable in 2026. I have no facts to back that up, just a hunch. Thanks for tuning into the channel. I appreciate your comment and support!👍👍
Hello, I am a comtent creator i currently use the pixel 8 pro for filimg content because i enjoy the camera and natural colors it records, then i quick share the footage to my s23 ultra to edit and upload , im thinking about trading my s23 ultra for the z fold 6 not sure if its worth it ? , the only thing thats calling me is that it turns into a tablet.
Absolutely, the big screen is a major attraction for foldables. I actually record my videos on different smartphones, depending on which ones are featured in the video. Samsung devices, including the Z Fold 5, perform really well in a controlled environment on a tripod. However, since processing on phones is slow, I usually do that on a PC unless I’m traveling.
If you do any long-distance zoom shots in your filming, stick with the S23 Ultra. The standard 50-megapixel cameras and lower 10-megapixel zoom lenses on the Z Fold 6 won’t give you great results for those shots. Other than that, the Z Fold 6 is a fantastic phone for filming and processing, especially with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which will be a bit faster than the S23 Ultra.
Thanks for watching and for your comment-I appreciate your support! 👍👍
May I ask, if fold 6 is SDG 2128 for 512 gb . Samsung trade my old 22 ultra at SDG 910. Do you think its worth it?
I’m not sure about the exact part number, but here’s what I can tell you: the S22 comes with 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage, while the Z Fold 6 boasts 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, making it much faster. Trading in your S22 Ultra for the Z Fold 6 would definitely be an all-around upgrade. However, you will lose the 10x zoom on the Ultra and drop down to a 3x zoom. If having the S-Pen on the case isn’t an issue for you, I’d say go for it! The new tech and the foldable design are quite enjoyable. Good luck with your decision, and thank you for tuning into the channel and leaving your question. I hope this helps!👍👍
Currently using 24 ultra as main phone. 22 ultra as spare for listening to music with videos. Sold away fold 3 but miss the bigger screen for web surfing thus now considering to get back fold. Tablet too big for travelling use on plane..... What I don't like fold is the need to change the protection film yearly. @@GOTgoodoldtech-1964
Just pre ordered it
650 with a. Fold 5 trade in
Not bad
Didnt buy the ring or watch
If you can afford it, it's definitely a great buy. And the trade-in value is really nice. I think you will find at least in the US it's a little closer to a $700 difference. However, $700 for a new phone is not bad if you budget yourself that way every year. Thank you for tuning into the channel and I appreciate your comment. 👍👍
I've got the S21 Ultra and I'm due for an upgrade cause I recently cracked my screen So if I have to spend $350 to repair it I might as well upgrade. I really like the form factor of the foldable and was hoping the 6 would have the upgrades the 5 lacked but I just cant justify paying that premium price and not getting their top of the line camera. That, plus the Spen not being integrated in the body of the phone are deal breakers. I could live with the 4400ma battery if the processor is using it more efficiently and I could even stand the only slightly wider outer screen and the fingerprint sensor on the side (instead of on the screen like the S24) but I just cant get past the camera and having to pay another $80 for the pen.
Samsung...If you're listening...Give us your top line camera in your top line phone and for us left handers, please bring back the in-screen fingerprint sensor!
Well thought out! I think the Z Fold 7 will get the upgrades we were hoping for this year. I don’t expect to see an integrated S Pen in the folds since they’re going thinner and lighter across the board. I used to carry all the Note models with the S Pen, and with the pen integrated into the Z Fold 5 case, I’ve gotten back into the habit.You could save a lot of money by getting a renewed Z Fold 5 for under $1,000 from Amazon or eBay, and it comes with a one-year warranty. Just an idea! Thanks for tuning into the channel and leaving your comment. I appreciate your support!👍
Ummm.... isn't the camera 50 mp on the 6 compared to only 12 mp on the 5???
Nope, they are exactly the same. You can check it out here. www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_z_fold5-12418.php
Do people actually buy phones for their camera?
I think many do. I also think there are a multitude of different reasons other than cameras. I hear it all the time. Processor, design, weight, screen size, operating system, and manufacturer are just a few that I've heard on the channel. Great question. Thanks for turning into the channel and leaving your comment.👍
Sir, I appreciate your Frank impression about Z6. There is hardly anything other than a new chip and Increase in size by 1mm. The battery, charging, hinge and crease remain the same. Vivo X Fold 3 is offering a much better Folding phone with better hard ware , a fast charger, superior brightness etc. As a consumer I don't need much of AI but a better phone over all. Good Luck for the next one.
You’re spot on with your thinking. I'm using the OnePlus Open because it outperforms the Z5 in specs and performance. I use an AI app to get most of the features Samsung offers now, so waiting another year for Samsung to catch up is a smart move. The Vivo X F3 looks impressive, but I’m waiting for the price to drop before considering it. I'm also keeping an eye on the Pixel Fold 2 since I'm in the US. Thanks for watching and commenting-I really appreciate your support! 👍👍
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 Thanks for your communication. Vivo is far ahead in brightness, battery endurance, charging speed, with a 100 watt charger in the box, battery capacity 5700, charging speed, cameras, and I am really happy. Samsung needs to catch up and otherwise they would loose customers. I have subscribed to your channel and good luck for many more. Regards....Dr Puri
@@nareshpuri3155 Your feedback means a lot to me-thank you for being part of our community! It's people like you that make doing this so enjoyable for me.
I was hoping Samsung would add the spen and an extendable battery but unfortunately not. Either way I rather wait till the fold 7 comes out and trade my iPhone for that one.
You know what? Samsung has an agreement with Apple to help them with their first foldable, which is supposed to come out in the next couple of years. As an iPhone user, you might want to keep an eye out for that. If you're thinking about leaving the Apple ecosystem or just tired of it, then waiting for the Samsung Z Fold 7 could be a good move. Apple teaming up with a company that's been doing foldables the longest means their first foldable might really knock it out of the park. Thank you for tuning into the channel-I appreciate your comment and support! 👍👍

I have fold 4 the only reason i want to buy it is the new squared sharper looking design plus im not oaying much for it anyway
No shame in that! It’s a great-looking phone and definitely an upgrade from the Fold 4. Thanks for tuning in and sharing. I appreciate your support!👍
Listen here bud, you kept it real and i like that. I subscribed and cooked a steak in your honor.
Thank you so much! Enjoy that steak now. I promise to keep it real.
I have the Fold 3, do you think this is a good upgrade?
Upgrading to the Z Fold 6 would be a significant change for you. Right now, trading in your Z Fold 3 offers the best value. Upgrading after three generations is smart because you'll see the most improvements. Thanks for tuning into the channel and leaving your question. I really appreciate your support!👍
I'm still using my Fold 2.
I want the Fold 6.
Absolutely! Here's a friendly and engaging version of your message:

Now that’s what I call dedication to a product! Upgrading to the Z Fold 6 would be a massive leap forward. Are they offering much trade-in value for your current phone where you are? Even a small trade-in is better than nothing, especially with the promotions going on and the instant upgrade to 512 GB of storage - it’s hard to pass up that deal.
However, upgrading to the Z Fold 5 is also a significant step up. Since I’m a fan of half-price deals, I think you’d get the best value by going for the Z Fold 5. You can find renewed ones on Amazon or eBay for under $1,000. That said, if your carrier offers a great promotional deal on the Z Fold 6, I totally understand going for that.
Either way, upgrading from the Z Fold 2 is a fantastic move. Thanks for tuning into the channel and sharing your comment. Your support is much appreciated! Good luck with your decision, and I’d love to hear what you decide - no judgment here. 👍👍
Excellent and frank articulation. I had fold4, 5 then s24 ultra nowcand may still move from s24 ultra to fold 6 as i prebooked already, but that is more because i like to use the latest device. But yes, if some one is looking gor major upgrade of features tgen moving from gold 5 or s24 ultra does not make any sense ... so i agree with what is mentioned in thi
s video.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. I've been in the same boat, always wanting the latest and greatest each year. Now that I review these phones, and have a lot of fun doing it, I can't justify the small incremental upgrades with so many new releases. Every purchase is out of pocket for me right now. I'm hoping that someday the manufacturers will help out the channel with review models. Thanks again for your honest words and encouragement. I truly appreciate your support!
Trade in value for the S24 Ultra, especially if you have the 1TB version, is too low! And with the Flip, they really insult us! Used to be able to get a Flip with trade for under $100. Not this time.
They raised the price of the Fold 6, still has 12GB RAM, no titanium frame. Should be called Fold 5S LOL.
This will be the first year I don't upgrade.
If Apple doesn't deliver with the 16 Pro Max I won't be upgrading that either.
I remember those days with the Flip! My daughter has one and was able to upgrade for just $50. Things have definitely changed. I totally agree with you about the RAM. 12GB is okay, but they should have upped it to 16GB, especially since AI is requiring more RAM. Samsung is falling behind its competitors, who have already moved on to 16GB.
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 Yes 16GB should be standard. At least the Flip6 got 12GB! Pretty sad when my $800 OnePlus12 has 512/16. Sounds like Samsung purchased too much ram for S24 line so they used the same density chips in all of the Fold 6 lineup. To save costs. Yet increased price by $100.
@@cpufrost Agreed. 👍
Compared to the vivo x fold 3 pro the z fold 6 upgrades are minimal at best.
I completely agree with you on that. The Vivo X3 Pro looks really impressive. I'd love to review one, but since I'm covering all expenses out of pocket right now, I'll have to wait for the price to come down. I'm keeping an eye on the Pixel Fold 2 as well. Let's hope they make all the improvements we're anticipating. Samsung does seem to have been a bit asleep at the wheel this year. Thanks for tuning in and sharing your thoughts.

Yup, I watched the event. They just tried to push AI and fluff it up. It's funny how it's coming from Google. "Samsung AI" really? LOL 🤣
True. I will say that Samsung does a great job making use of the AI in their UI. They seem to be the favorite among most users. Lots of promises, let's see if they follow through.
Do you know how collaboration works?? Smartypants
“Apple Intelligence” isn’t Apple’s original idea either. They’re using OpenAI’s ChatGPT and attempting to make it their own.
I got s22 ultra, is it worth upgrade to z fold 6?
That's a tough one. Samsung is offering a $650 trade-in for the S22 Ultra in the US, but you'd still be paying over $1200 for a foldable. You might get some of that back in trade next year when Samsung releases the phone they should have released this year, assuming you trade again. Over two years, you'd end up paying nearly full price for the Z7. If this is your first foldable, you could get the Z5 512GB model renewed on Amazon for under $1000, or possibly find a better deal on eBay, both with a one-year warranty. You could trade in your S22 Ultra for a smaller value or just keep it. In the grand scheme of things, you'd be ahead next year. Or, you could wait and see what Google offers with the Fold 2 next month. Just do the math and decide what works best for you. Let me know what you decide-no judgment here. Good luck, my friend, and thanks for tuning in and commenting. I appreciate your support!
Question? Sow samsung is offering me the Fold 6 for 551$ with trade in for my fold 5 plus some other discounts. I think is a good deal for 551$ but now that I see this video I dont think is worth the 551$ 😂
Great point! Samsung is offering a generous $1200 trade-in value for the F5 in the US, making it tough to pass up. Upgrading to the F6 would be a small step up. However, next year, the F7 will likely be the phone we all wanted this year, and the F5 will be worth less by then. You just have to crunch the numbers and see if it makes sense for you. The F5 will have a solid trade-in value, and over two years, you'll end up paying full price for the F7 when considering the trade-ins for the F6. Good luck with your decision! 👍
Crappy title, because soooo many people have a two year old phone that's not a fold and might be considering upgrading to a current fold model. I have an S22 Ultra and am considering the Fold 6.
Well, to be honest, the title works well, and many found the information to be helpful. If one watches the entire video, they will see that simply upgrading from the Z5 to the Z6 is not recommended. All other devices may be a great option because the Z6 is a great device in and of itself. Thanks for tuning in and commenting. Your thoughts are important to me. I appreciate your support! 👍
Samsung was going to drop a ultra variant later this year first it was canceled but Samsung may change their mind due to competition
Sure thing! Here's a friendly and engaging version of your message:
---
I’ve heard those rumors too! I’ve tried to dig into it myself but haven’t found much. It seems they release different phones outside the US, so it might be something they’re planning for Korea or China to compete with brands like Vivo and OnePlus that are really shining right now. Hopefully, it’ll make its way to the US, but I think it might show up as the Z Fold 7, which is why I’m planning to wait.
Thanks for tuning into the channel and sharing your comment. I really appreciate your support!👍👍
Thanks yeah I think you are the most honest RUclipsr Samsung is really losing the folding market competitions .There way behind Vivo and OnePlus even honor makes much better folding phones than Samsung. they're just too chicken to upgrade the battery or even fast charging would have helped no exactly same phone. In UK we get £500 for fold 5 as part exchange big question mark there how you guys getting to $1,200 for it . I think in a couple of years Samsung will be wiped out no one will be interested on their phones anymore. They try to do what Apple does they don't realise Apple has no rivals and they're losing big time to Chinese companies.
That's a really interesting perspective you've shared. I agree that Samsung might be missing out a bit by not advancing the tech in their devices. However, I think their recent partnership announcement with Apple, aimed at helping them develop foldables in the coming year, might have slowed down their own product development. With shared technology from Apple, the Z Fold 7 could turn out to be a fantastic device.I don't believe Samsung will be left behind in the foldables market; they just have some ground to cover. Thanks for your comment; I appreciate having you as part of our community!👍👍
Would you trade up your s24 ultra for the zfold 6. Even though
1. No place for stylist
2. Not as good camera as s24
3. Still slight crease
All for the larger screen functionality. Sometimes i get frustrated with the trying to do split screen on s24 Ultra. It is a tank too. (Love my Note10, in terms of weight, hand holding, stylist inside, already has 12GB Ram). Just want the larger screen for multi tasking.😮
The s24 Ultra camera is crazy. Was videoing a graduation. Was half a football field away. Could see my nephew's acne in his face. Flying over a university football field not quiet 10k feet. But I got the school sign on the grass.
Do i need that crazy of camera vs that flat screen to multi task?
There's a lot to unpack in your question. I won't argue that the S24 Ultra is a great phone; it might even be the best phone of the year. As a former Note user, I love the built-in S Pen silo. For the Z Fold 5, I've found that the special case that holds the S Pen is the best alternative, and it works well for me.
Regarding the camera, I have to say the Z Fold series is lagging a bit, having used the same cameras for four years in a row. AI digital enhancement isn't quite there yet either. I have the Pixel 8 Pro, which promised digital enhancement on zooming photos, but it hasn’t delivered yet. I truly believe Google Pixel handles that the best among all phones.
If you need great distant shots and a zoom lens, the S24 Ultra is the way to go. On the other hand, if you plan on trading your S24, you'll still end up paying nearly $1,000 to upgrade to the Z Fold 6. If you've never had a foldable before, I'd recommend using that $1,000 to buy a renewed Z Fold 5 from Amazon or eBay. They come with a 1-year warranty and are almost like new. This way, you can keep your S24 as a backup in case you decide the foldable isn't for you.
I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any more questions you have. Thank you for tuning into the channel and for leaving your comment-I appreciate your support!👍👍
Great analysis and review. Thanks and the Lord bless you, too!

I don't know why they have these events. Just do a video, announce what you're rolling out and move on.Why spend all this money on events that are so silly and so boring. Canva did the same thing. They get people who work for the company who don't belong up on stage. And they try to make software sound so exciting.
That's an interesting thought! It’s kind of funny to see them throw a camera to a celebrity in the middle of a presentation and think that will boost sales, lol. I agree-they really fluff things up and try to justify the high prices with all the showmanship. Just give us the specs, a bit about what it can do, and call it a day. Thank you for tuning into the channel. I appreciate your perspective and comments-your support means a lot!👍
@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 you're most welcome. I have the S24 ultra. I will go to the samsung experience store and take a look at it. But the last version I was turned off by the narrow front screen, and the phone felt very chunky. I think I'll probably sit tight for awhile As even with all the discounts and trade ins, it would be over eight hundred dollars to get this phone.This seems kinda crazy. All they seem to be pushing is AI and I have that with the s 24 ultra. I also kinda can't get past that crease. But I do like the samsung ecosystem. I have the tab 9 ultra as well. I'm also a big Spen, fan. Not sure how long that's gonna be around anymore, either.
I like and subscribed

Bro i just pre ordered it 5 minutes ago 😮
I see no problem with you ordering the Z-Fold 6. It's a great phone, and I know you're going to love it. As I mentioned in the video, it's an individual decision based on your needs and what you're used to. Since I already have the Z-Fold 5 and there’s virtually no difference under the hood, I don't recommend upgrading if you already have last year’s model. But if you can afford it, get a good trade-in deal, or if this is your first time getting a Z-Fold, it's a fantastic choice. Congratulations and enjoy your new phone! I'd love to hear back from you about how you like it. Thanks for tuning into the channel and leaving your comment. I appreciate your support!
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 first time on foldables I've always wanted one! I'll definitely keep you updated, I get mine on Wednesday

So bottom line if it’s not for you don’t buy it also yea it’s like a fold 5 but ummm it’s a new chip and it has AI first fold to have it price should’ve been lowered

@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 cool bro I’ll keep watching but I hear what you saying that outter glass should’ve been more wide like the one plus open
I ditched a ring back in 2013 and I’ll never go back! 😂 honestly I won’t wear a watch either. Regardless of an analog or smart watch. It just opens you up to more security vulnerabilities. In a world where privacy is already nonexistent.. 1984 has already come to fruition. 😅👀
I completely understand! Rings never really caught my interest either-too pricey and easy to lose without offering much in return. Watches, on the other hand, are super useful for both my wife and me. A funny tidbit: my wife would never be able to find her iPhone without her Apple Watch. LOL 😂🤣
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 I’m not a very active person so in my experience the watches have no real benefit to me personally. That being said I can see the benefits depending on your individual lifestyle.
@@JoshuaBrown-is8fb You know what that's it exactly, my wife and I are fairly active and older. So it's nice for the watch to tell us about our health a little better than just a phone. The watch is going to actually alert the other person if one has fallen. And if you can't get to your phone you can make a quick phone call for help. Just something to think about when you're older.
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 I understand that. It has its benefits depending on the person. I could benefit from some features due to my disabilities. (Visually disabled) I don’t like having to rely on technology when I don’t need to. That being said I probably wouldn’t be alive right now if it wasn’t for modern technology. It has its benefits and drawbacks like everything else in life. Having a progressive vision loss does make me see the benefits of a foldable phone but I still can’t disregard the flaws and durability concerns they still have.
Z fold 6 will be my next phone lol
I hope you got in on the pre-order deal. It's a great phone but even better with all the extra promo deals and a good trade-in. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
Spot on summarized review it's a shame that samsung decided to take this route and copy the apple culture. Innovation has gone down the drain with Samsung.
Thank you for the compliment and for watching the video-I really appreciate it! It's funny you mention the comparison with Apple. I believe the partnership with Apple is a factor, but maybe not in the way you think. I suspect that since Samsung agreed to help Apple make their first foldable in 2026, they've put their own products on hold or on the back burner. It's very disappointing. Again, thank you for your comment and your support!
Who is this even for? I've seen only one in the wild and the guy was using the tiny cover screen. No one is going to open up the zfold on public transit. People would laugh is this a phone or a ipad mini ? Most rational people would have a separate tablet device and a slim tiny phone combo but this idea of foldable is laughable today. It's going to be mamy more years before this makes sense. It's so meh.
Well, I think that pixel and Samsung would have a difference of opinion. Together, they've sold over 40 million foldables worldwide. I believe they've taken off more than you realized. However, everyone has the right to their own opinion. If one wants to buy two devices instead of the one and spend more money, it's up to them.
