Let me know if you guys are I'm the #GalaxyFam ! I always leaving from you guys and your experiences. We've bit a really wholesome, communicative community here :) May you all have a great weekend!
David, another gem of a review. Haven't upgraded from my s22U but still love watching all your reviews. The fold 6 is the first phone in the series that looks really good and refined.
Great video and comparison had the Fold 4 and upgraded to fold 6 wow what a difference, love the boxy frame and it is now close to perfect foldable in my eyes.... Lot more real estate ..
I am always thrilled to see your reviews about the Galaxy Z Fold series. The way that you disect the usefulness of the phone and stitch in your opinions along with your amiable character, in addition to the top notch production quality of your videos, leaves me feeling like I'm watching a much awaited episode from my favorite series. Keep up the professional and awesome work! I also trust your judgment because you are a real heavy user of the Z Fold series for both personal and business needs. Let me add by saying that what I respect in Samsung is that they have already brought (and will further bring) nearly all of these Galaxy AI features to older Fold series such as my Z Fold4. This way, we customers who have paid a premium price still feel like we are valued for our investment and loyalty.
Yeah, I went ahead and upgraded from the 5 to the 6 myself. I've promised myself that's it for a bit though. I went from the 4 to the 5. No issues at all with the 5, but plenty with the 4. I'm crossing my fingers the 6 is just like the 5 as far as dependability. I am not remotely sorry I upgraded again though. Incredible device. Great video...again.
Great, fair review! I agree with all you've said. It's a great refinement over the 5 and not a complete change. While on paper the changes are minor, to me, experience-wise the 6 is much better. For those who haven't experienced a folding device or are upgrading from a 3 or 4 (or slab), this is a fantastic phone to have. I'd say even for those of us crazy enough to upgrade year over year, it's still worth the change. Like you, I personally prefer and love the boxy design. Was watching this on my 6, outdoors, and not once did the crease get in the way. On the 5 it would've been an issue. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Good video. Agree with the points as I have same experience on my fold 6. Just no5iced that the date stamps in the video mention 'June' instead of 'July' 😂
The 5 and 6 switched from a capacitive sensor to an ultrasonic sensor. This removed the ability to use gestures. I hate the ultrasonic sensor on my Fold 5 and dearly miss the sensor on my old Fold 4.
Mine is back in my tech drawer. Its a great device that i'll go back to once in a while to switch things up and i hope everyone that has one enjoys it but i kept comparing it to my Pixel Fold and my OnePlus Open more than going "this is the foldable for me." Which is the same problem i had with the fold 5.
Thanks for another great video. I've watched a ton of videos comparing the 2 phones and by far yours is the best. Having them side by side really showed how much better the content looks on the outer screen. How are you liking the watch?
Many thanks for the great review. I have hardly heard any positive reports about the Fold for the reason that too little development has taken place. But I just want to know if it is a good phone. You have helped me a lot and I will buy it now. Thank you and keep up the good work
@@phil-n5t No, but it was the only review that was objective so far. I'm not interested in a comparison with last year's device. All that matters is whether it's a good phone. I haven't regretted the purchase and now have the Fold 6 and the Pixel 9 pro fold
Speaking of overheating issues... If i watch YT for even 10 minutes my fold 6 feels like its going to combust its so hot...same with charging it. Im lucky to get 4-5 hrs SOT with this happening. Ive had the 3 folds before this and never had an issue. Im sending it back unfortunately but do have a black one coming. Hope its an isolated issue. That said coming from the fold 5 on paper this is barely an upgrade...in reality it really is. So much about the 6 is better.. front screen seems WAY bigger on it and agree about the cameras..the shots are better especially zoom shots
Version 19 of RUclips has a ton of issues that result in excessive heat and battery drain. If you revert to Version 18 it fixes everything, except RUclips will automatically update back to 19 eventually (even if you disable auto updates). There are several threads about this if you search. I've submitted numerous feedback through the RUclips app. Hopefully they revert to the version 18 codebase. Point being, it's not an issue with the Fold.
Hi Dave, I recently received the Fold 6 in the crafted blackm(512 gb) . I had the Fold 4 for a several months and it was nice but it froze a lot. I turned to the S23 Ultra and it great as well. I got it to schedule meetings, signed contracts, and for everyday use. Strangely enough, I haven't used the camera yet on the phone. There are so many other things I'm still experiencing. I love the sketch to image feature. I can't draw but my sketches have been ok that AI have been able to detect what they were lol. I've used it quite a bit. At first, I was going to return it but I've given a change and I like it. Can you do a review on the Flip 6? Great video.
So you're one of those people who would never be happy. They increase it by 300ma, you'd want 500ma. They increase it byn500ma,you'd want 750ma. Get over it, if your battery is that bad, try getting off your phone.
@willbuschmann bro, they didn't upgrade the battery for 3 generations. That's pathetic. The flip 6 upgraded 300 ma and apparently it's making a huge difference. Do some simple research and you'd see how competition in the fold market is beating Samsung now 🤡
Hello Dave!! I just got mine 3 days ago coming from iOS, so far so good. The only thing is my watch ultra is not lasting that long. In less than 24 hours I'm down to 33%.
Coming from the fold 4, love the F6 except just coming from a concert and my friends' iPhone took much better videos than my f6. Much better and i tried all the settings lol
@David.AVelez Yo! He has an iPhone 15 Pro Max. It doesn't surprise me either and the F6 does take really nice up close videos but was still shocking to see the zoom quality difference between two flagship devices.
Holding the Z Fold 6 to the Z Fold 5 definitely feels like a completely different phone in your hands. The screen colors on the Z fold 6 pop more, and the pictures look clearer. I received it today, so im waiting to see how the battery life goes.
I luv the folds!! But the camera for me is not good. I take pics of my kids all the time and the S24U give me blurry photos. That's why I'm thinking of switching to iPhone.
have this and the OnePlus Open. The Open is better in so many ways. But, I got this for future trade in value (OnePlus value isn't close) and for 3rd party accessory support. I'm missing the larger screens, the cameras, and the anti glare screen protector of the Open... But mostly, I'm missing the charging speed and battery size. In that specific order. The battery size and charging speed is pathetic and almost criminal. Samsung has been resting on their laurels for far too long. Basically every other manufacturer has passed them up in hardware and OnePlus has in terms of multitasking software. I think I'm going to keep this phone though, specifically for the $1000 2yrs from now trade in value.
Great reply and logic. I also have the OnePlus open and I love it; however, I'm thinking of buying a "used" fold 5 just to have it . (Plus, I miss the S pen.) You're spot on with the charging speed, I can't imagine bacon a phone without it
Fold 5 here and not only do I have a dedicated DSLR for photos (which I honestly done use very often) I also grabbed an Osmo Pocket 3 which has been the BEST investment I could have made in capturing family moments!
@David.AVelez Most of the Chinese phones are way ahead of Samsung in terms of hardware, but they can't compete when it comes to software and security updates-
Boring phone . Could have got 99 percent of the thing on any fold from 3 upwards. Got rid of my 5 and returned the 6 . Got the open and damn it's the best phone I ever bought .
Do you think this is really worth upgrading from a Fold4? I still feel like the hardware and software weren't a big enough change/revolutionary in order for upgrading. But maybe i expected too much? Im still pretty happy with my Fold 4 but i do notice how bulky it is with my dBrand case. The Samsung deals right now too! So torn... 🫠

Awesome to hear! I can definitely see why it may be a tough upgrade for some, but the Fold 6 genuinely is better as a whole (which it should be haha)

I just upgraded from the S22U to the Fold6 and it's been a revelation. At least for my usecase it's like using something entirely new. 🤩
Z Fold 6 is proving to be a great upgrade from ZF4. I even find myself using the cover screen more
Let's go! Im glad you like it! Definitely a HUGE improvement over the 4!
Ans absolutely using the front displaying more!
Thank you for posting. I really enjoy your videos.
Great review bro! Im sold!!

At 1:38 in the video how did you send the video signal from your camera to the Fold 6? What tool did you use to do that? Thanks and great video!!
Depends on what camera he's using. Some manufacturers allow you to monitor and control your camera through their proprietary app.
Damn. Mine still on its way
When does it come in?
I hope you like it as much as I have been!
@@DavidAVelez1 hopefully this week 🤞
Try turning off your always on display if its not that important over battery. I got avg 7 hours now vs 6 hrs SOT.
Thanks, David. Another informative video. Can you leave a link to the silver watch band you are using?
Does the zFold work reliably as a tesla key? Thanks.
It’d be nice if you made a social media camera test with these foldables to see if they’re as optimized as the S24 ultra
How do you use it as an external camera display? What an amazing feature.
I got the fold 6 on Friday the only thing I can't into my WhatsApp and another app but so far the fold.6 is great
Samsung really dropped the ball on upgrading the battery not even one bit... even if it was a 300 milliamp upgrade, I would have been happy. 😢
So you're one of those people who would never be happy. They increase it by 300ma, you'd want 500ma. They increase it byn500ma,you'd want 750ma. Get over it, if your battery is that bad, try getting off your phone.
