I just returned mine and went back to the S24 Ultra. I have a Tab S9, and I found myself only using the outer display cause my tablet is my big screen product to enjoy content, do research and do more with. The Z Fold 6 is incredible, but when you don't find yourself unfolding the device, what's the point?
Exactly why I don't buy folds no more. Had the first 4 folds and came to realize that I only use the inner screen when I'm at home. I never used the inner screen outside. Might as well use my iPad pro and get a regular phone that will have a bigger screen than the outer screen of the Folds.
Me exactly! I have the Tab S9+ and got the Z Fold 6. After using it for 2 weeks, I returned the Z Fold 6 and got the S24 Ultra. The front screen size was almost unusable on the Fold 6 on a day to day use. I rarely would open it to even respond to any type of messages. On the wow factor, it is really cool. If I want to use a tablet, I would just grab my Tab S9+. I love the little to no reflection on the screen on S24U while using it outdoors. I got all my money back from T-mobile when I returned the Z Fold 6. I might go back to the Z Fold lineup if they make the front screen close to the size as the S Series lineup, like Google did on their fold phone
I got a fold6 since i have no ipad or tab. I've never really found the need for those since my iphone (at the time) or s24 regular did everything that did. So for someone who doesnt have a tablet, this is just right where you get the phone with dual purpose. It is solid and great
Still currently rocking the Fold 3. Not trying to make a disney pixar movie with it so, performance isn't the biggest priority. To be honest, believe it or not... I got a Fold phone for it's redundancy. I'm a truck driver. If I have a regular phone, and it cracks the screen, and I can't use it, it ruins my whole month. With the fold, I can Crack the front screen, and still use the open part of the phone, so my world isn't done for, and I can manage till I make it back home. So far... things have been smooth.
I own the S24 Ultra and genuinely adore it. I frequently use it to take pictures, and when I share them, many people compliment me on the excellent camera. However, that is not the sole reason for my affection; it is a significant factor. In my opinion, given its $2,000 price tag, the FF6's camera ought to outperform the S24 Ultra's camera by a significant margin. Regrettably, this is not the case. You ought to receive the best of the best for the money you are spending. Additionally, I believe the crease would greatly irritate me!
@jessicagold83 It doesn't i have 24 ultra and fold 6 The real estate with fold is really nice You don't see it 99 per cent of the time like see ing your nose if you look you see
Bigger battery, faster charging, better screen protection, better IP rating, better camera setup, and comes with an S-pen for $600 less. Sorry, but a bigger screen when you unfold it isn't worth an extra 670 dollars more (if you want an S pen).S24 Ultra all the way.
Or...... and hear me out here; rent out your holes a few times, and lose nothing but your dignity and nights without jolting awake remembering the experience. But you got those phones though.
It's like the mullet. Maybe best phone review line ever! I'm hooked on my Fold 5. I love taking notes on the big display with the stylus. I love multitasking on that big screen. Sure, I don't get a flagship camera, but it takes nice enough pics. It has decent enough battery life. But it has the massive inner screen, and there is no substitute for that. That dwarfs the camera, battery, etc. Not for everyone, but perfect for me.
I just upgraded from the fold 4 to the 6 and I love it. I don't care about the camera as much as I used to. I still have my Note 20 ultra that I use for my work phone. I use the cameras on the note.
I have to tell ya that the z fold 6 pen case is the best case I've ever used. I bought it expecting to return it a week later. I'm definitely keeping it. I am very impressed with the z fold 6. i came from the iphone 14 pro and have been a pixel fold user before. This fold takes the cake.
Funny. I've had Fold/Flip combo for 3 generations. Never once thought about going back to a slab. But, I still think it's not smart for most people. There are still lots of QC issues. Went to trade in my Fold 5 for the 6, and a pixel literally died on me the day I was packing the device. Cost $270 to replace, even under warranty. My Flip 5 needed a USBC port. My brother's Flip 5 had a dead pixel within 2 weeks, and they would not replace it. My mother had the insurance on her Flip 5 and also got a dead pixel. They sent her a refurbished phone in a different color. This happened in the first 30 days.

Switching from a S24U to the ZF6. I just want to try something different, I'll keep it for a year and see how I feel after that. I am willing to sacrifice the better camera on the S24U to experience something else.
@nikkosr888 it's not as bad as the reviews make it out to be. Of course it's not as good as the S24U but no phone is! I easily get a day out of it with moderate use. Very happy with it so far. It's a small downgrade in cameras as well but they are still very good. I found that I never used the 100x zoom on the Ultra anyway. The ZF6 is a great device, especially if it's your first foldable.
We forget to mention the s24 ultra has better resolution. Pros and cons to both. Pick what fits your needs. I went from fold 4 to fold 5 to s24 ultra. I miss my fold sometimes, but I can't give up the better price, battery, resolution, camera, special bluetooth spen, and durability which is why I am keeping my s24 ultra. The tab s9 ultra helps me get over any folding phone.
The fold seemed like the perfect phone for me. I rarely talk on the phone, and I don't text a lot. My phone is mostly media only. I switched from the note 10+ (I hated giving up my Aura Blue Best Buy exclusive). I really like the phone, and I don't regret it at all, but I would be lying if I said I didn't entertain the idea of going back to a bar phone. The inside screen aspect ratio was not much different from a bar phone when watching movies and videos with the black bars on it. I miss having the pen inside of the phone and choosing any case I want. I don't care about the cameras too much, but I do want the latest and greatest for my money. The only function of the camera that I want is the ultra zoom. The screen real estate for multitasking is amazing. For that reason, I likely wouldn't switch back. I had planned to upgrade to the Z Fold 6 if the S-pen was Bluetooth, inside the phone, and had a larger external screen (fat-fingering when typing on it is annoying). The weight and size aren't an issue for me, and the physical fingerprint sensor was an underrated upgrade, but I did have a Whitestone glass screen protector on my note. I'll probably upgrade to another fold when the time is right, but I do have an underlying feeling that there's something more I desire from this phone. It could be the minor bugs that aren't worth mentioning, that you don't get with bar phones.
I can't stick with Samsung anymore, I currently have the S24 ultra but if you want to use a screen protector of any kind the finger print sensor will drive you nuts. Also people are having the same S24 ultra issue I'm having where the screen brightness will dim for some apps automatically and not go back to full brightness, you have to manually go back and raise the brightness. I thought about switching to the Z fold 6 but Samsung can't wake up and give me a wider cover screen so I can text people properly. So next step will be the Pixel 9 pro fold (bigger cover display with a traditional side finger print sensor.
I never had any issues with a screen protector and using the fingerprint sensor. Have u tried to enable the touch sensitivity in the options? Maybe this will help u out.
I've said it before, I'll say it again... I'm a huge fan of the next shiny thing... However I really want to want a folding phone but... I don't want one.... Shoot.
Adam, at 10:35 you NAILED it! Most tech nerds like us don't even think about design philosophy, we just think of what 'WE' think is 'leet' without even weighing in on actual company design philosophy! Awesome job!
Both are great phone. But you should buy according to your needs. If you don't have any tablets and would like to have bigger screen, then go for fold. If you want bigger battery, better camera and have tablet devices, then S24U would be ideal.
I've had the zf6 nearly 2 weeks.. It's been good as I've been away on holiday.. But I've found myself using the 24u more.. Just more practical for every day use.. Imo Z6f is class tho!
What’s the screen size when watching movies? I know it’s not full screen unless you watch it zoomed out cutting off the sides of the movie. What do you actually get screen size like 6.8 or 6.9?
I've had zfold 4, and zfold 5.... Now honestly thinking of going to s24ultra... The screen size difference isn't that huge, but the thickness is absolutely massive s24 felt amazing in my pocket... But still on the fence honestly thought I'd just get a tab S9 for replacing the work I do on the fold.
I had the Fold 3 and 4. I switched to the S24U and ended up missing my Fold after a couple of months, so I switched back to the Fold 6 this time. The phone feels light and not too thick, I'm really enjoying it.
There's some points about all of'em that suck when dealing with Samsung directly (or should I say Scamsung). Color schemes that are exclusive to the Samsung website - and only available to unlocked variants. Want black? Tough nuts, Crafted Black for the Fold6 AND Flip6 is a Samsung online exclusive. The 1TB variants are also locked away behind unlocked variants, you can't even get a carrier branded 1TB S24 Ultra. But I think that was a thing since the S22 Ultra days because carriers and retailers didn't want it fearing it would be too expensive...buncha weirdos...
Sooo, i have comment that leads into a question. Please bare with me while I explain. I'm sorry for the novel, lmao. Now, ive been a Samsung "Note" Ultra guy since the Note 10 Ultra. I never thought I'd use the "S-Pen" before so I stayed away from the "Ultras." But, after getting my first Note 10 Ultra back in the day and tried the S-Pen, i immediately fell in love and never looked back!! Every single phone I've had since then was the "Note Ultra" with the S-Pen. When I heard they were discontinuing the Note series, I was really sad because I knew the "S" series didn't come with these cool S-Pens. Then i found out that you could get an "S" series phone that did come with an S-Pen as long as you got the "S Ultra." It was perfect because I honestly feel that they're the exact same phones anyways. Soo, i didn't have a choice but to switch to the "S" series Ultra for the pen. I use it constantly and absolutely love them! They make using the phone so much easier. But, since ive been using a "Note Ultra/S Ultra" for all these years now, I kinda want to explore another phone series. Sooo, my questions are.. does the Z-Fold 6 S-Pen work like the S23 Ultra S-Pen with all the features and controlling options? Like, the S23 Ultra S-Pen is like a "smart" S-Pen and has a ton of different uses and features. Is the S-Pen with the Fold 6 basically the same? And let's say i have an extra S-Pen for my S23 Ultra. Can I use that S-Pen with the Fold 6? And just to confirm, the Z Fold 6 DOES NOT come with the phone and is an extra accessory that needs purchased if im not able to use the extra S23 Ultra S-Pen with the Z Fold 6?
A couple years back I used a S22U for work and a Fold 4 for personal. Now its opposite. S24U for personal and Fold 6 for work. Pocket tablet for a sales career is really nice. For personal id rather have the nicer camera for taking family photos. We also go to beach alot and you dont have to worry about a speck of sand getting in the hinge while stowed away in the beach bag. Happened to a fold 4, man was that crunchy sounding 😅
In india there is only 300$ difference between z fold 6 and the s24 ultra so it's a no brainer to go for the z fold 6 it gives a much bigger display and much more multitaksing facility than the s24 ultra. Btw love from India❤️
I had a z fold 6 for a little bit and try the " no regrets " catchy phrase. Then I got tired of the battery life at the end of my work day being 10% and the charging slower. Went back to my s24 ultra and realized why I like it better. I never really worry about the battery and charging. The camera on the z fold 6 didn't really bother me that it wasn't the newest and best
I don't really use my camera. I mostly talk trash, play games, read, and watch videos. I draw, make memes, and read some more. I also watch movies and stream shows on Netflix, HBO, and other platforms. I'm getting it, upgrading from the S22U... so? It's whatever. I spend more on graphics cards every year.
Man stick with the 24 Ultra. The Z fold 6 needs to see a decrease in sales so we can see the improvements moving forward. You was right when you said the z fold 5
I had the fold 4 and I had to upgrade to the s24 ultra, I don't recommend the folding ones even if you take care of them (zero knocks and dust) they don't last more than 1 and a half years, the internal protective plastic lifts up and the hinge stops opening properly 😒
I got the S22 ultra been looking at the fold6. You said the cameras are pretty much the same? Kinda the only thing i care about, plus ive havent had any of the folds.
What’s the actual screen size for unfolded Z fold 6 for watching movies? I know it’s going to be blocked off horizontally. Is the true display for movies going to be 6.8
I have fold 4, and i want to go back to s ultra series. One major problem is hinge. I dropped it once and can open the hinge fully. The second reason is productivity. I use the outer screen more on a daily basis, but it is too tiny. But the inner screen js too big to use on a daily basis. The pen is useful but can't be carried without a bulky case. Display is better on ultra series, too. I am going to use this device for at least 6 years because it was too damn pricey. Can i make it to the s30 ultra lol.
I tried the zfold 3, been wanting to try again but price, durability concerns, and bulk with case really kill it for me. If Samsung copied the surface duo which could have addressed it all I would be estatic. Now all I can hope for is a fatter slab phone with better landscape support.
I love both designs, but I'd stick with the S24 Ultra, because Fold Phones are way too expensive to get fixed. Of course, an S24 Ultra would be expensive to get fixed, but it's only one screen.
I currently have the Fold 4 and have issue with the screen and the hinge so I am about to get the S24 Ultra I will see how the Flod 6 handles the screen screen issues and consider getting the Fold 7 when it comes out, I have friends who just got the Fold 6
How I wish the fold 6 has those bluetooth s pen that can slot inside the phone like ultra 24. The bluetooth pen can be used as a handy remote control for the camera. The one come with the case is just a normal s pen.
If the task is to paint and sketch outside and inside on a phone, but you don't want a permanently large phone, but at the same time you are very concerned about scratching and leaving dents on a folding phone from the pen.. What to do then?
I just bought a S24 Ultra and i miss my old LG G7 Thinq with the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. I can't believe the screen protector on the S24 is blocking the fingerprint. Why is it on the screen anyway instead of the back? Not working therefore useless, even after activating "screen sensitivity" in the parameters.
My fold4 inside screen went black but the outside still worked so i checked the fold6 and ultra so I decided to do the fold6. The insurance i feels a gimmick after trying to use it but one only gets the same phone without choice so since theres a warreny for a year on a new one no need for insurance at least its my thought.
I'm just a glutton and have both. I love them both, plus you really get the best deal trading in ultra for ultra and fold for fold. Buy them once, keep trading in, and it's just a few hundred dollars to upgrade to a paid-for device. They are both amazing devices.
NEITHER! The S23FE at $500 is ALL I need for my day-to-day life and serves my needs at a THIRD of the price! Paying ANYTHING more is just unnecessary... I have NO need for Magazine quality photos/videos AND NO need to for 8K video or all the other "frills" that I will NEVER use at THAT price. WHY?
I've never traded in a phone before so this is a dumb question I am sure: Do you have to do a data transfer while you're sitting in the store or something?
No. You order your phone, receive it and then you have 2 weeks to post your trade phone to samsung. They will send the box and postage info in a box with the new phone.
7 years of support yes. But the fold most likeky for most won't even last half. 🤣. Don't buy Gimmicks. The chances you have to get repairs within the first year or more times is way too high
@@nunosantos2015 No S-Pen support, no excellent software for foldables, no 7 years of software support and so on. Definitly Pick the Z Fold6 over those other brands.
@@bistduschlau9889 s pen is available on oneplus open but i don't care is useless for me in 2024, software on each of those in android 14 will be almost the same experience as samsung , 7 years update? no thanks i'm not using the same fold more than 2 years I prefer better battery, better camera, fast charge 100w, screen no crese, bigger cover screen as a normal phone , brighter display and thickness format and faster ram for cheaper price. samsung is far from there in this categories, i suggest you to rewatch some youtubers, oneplus open king in 2023 and vivo x fold 3 pro is already king in 2024👍 samsung is getting lazy and expensive like Apple, unfortunely samsung fold not worth 😒
Bro, I was at work the other day, and i had to use the stand on my case to watch a video on the S24 Ultra, and something told me I wouldn't have that issue with the Fold 6. Well, I've been obsessed with the idea of the fold ever since. I'm starting to think its the true evolution of the Note line.
my zfold 2 had a red line from top to bottome at the same place you pointed at woke up the next day and it was gone not sure if it did some pixle refresh or what
I was upgrading from Note 10+ to S24 Ultra. now z fold 6 Use my phone 60% vs 40% computer. S24 -slab phone heavy to hold. -Difficult to do split screen wIth Floating keyboard (covers one half) -screen seems larger when flipped horizontal and completely filled w no bezel. -feels bulky in front and back pocket. Z fold -akward to hold, need case with stand and pen holder -multi tasking huge. 2 items up with room for keyboard. -reading a document is easier where I can change the font and the doc fits within the screen. -watching video, the screen fills smaller as the video does not fill the entire screen. It is like having a rectangle across a box with large black space on the top and bottom. I can watch the video on top and work on the bottom. -seems more fragile (got insurance) But smaller foot print in back pocket even tho same weight. This is what I heard Both -wireless charging/reverse wireless charging, Dex, same Chip, 12Gb Ram -screens bright 2600 nitts, -speakers loud -AI experience Z fold (expensive but good trade in) -slow charging 25 watts, 4400 mah battery size, -camera 3yo. But still ok in low light, new chip helps - selfie camera 4mp -buy the case w stylus -IP48 water -risk thin glass on z fold -crease on z fold -need insurance Benefit -large screen -multiple screens -larger space to type, draw S24 -anti reflective coating -fast charging 45 watts, 5000mah -gorilla glass -great for video games -Ip68 water -Selfie Camera better -big screen -feels like a brick, yes!
With all due respect, the Z fold audience is not the instagram fanatics interested in camera x or y. It's for enterprise users. Are you basically now saying the S22 ultra camera is outdated? Come on, bro. The fact that phones are released every year does not mean you should get a new one every year. Only dummies do that. There's a reason why manufacturers entice folks with trade-ins
you should get vivo x fold 3 pro all day long battery still going sleep with 20% and tomorrow morning charging in 30 minutes to 100%, just sell it as I did too
I don’t understand why you’re complaining that if you spend $1300 on an S24U and use it for a while before trading it in for a ZFold6, you won’t get the full price back. You used the phone for a while.
In reality, any folding Samsung folding phone as to it's flip phone has been a rubbish phone, and why bother spending extreme money on something, knowing it will start to slip in the middle and bubble with a year or 2, and split. My true opinion is, stay clear as its completely rubbish as that crease is so frustrating, And still miss the SD card slot on any flag ship phone, as to the LED notification light and the last of its kind, the Note20 Ultra 5g was the beast, But went for the S24 ultra 5g, but just might next time not bother buying no Samsung phones after this, as all is a money racket to get you to buy something that is no difference at all, just the chip and android version, if not bothered of any android versions, save your money,

I really like the phone, and I don't regret it at all, but I would be lying if I said I didn't entertain the idea of going back to a bar phone. The inside screen aspect ratio was not much different from a bar phone when watching movies and videos with the black bars on it. I miss having the pen inside of the phone and choosing any case I want. I don't care about the cameras too much, but I do want the latest and greatest for my money. The only function of the camera that I want is the ultra zoom.
The screen real estate for multitasking is amazing. For that reason, I likely wouldn't switch back. I had planned to upgrade to the Z Fold 6 if the S-pen was Bluetooth, inside the phone, and had a larger external screen (fat-fingering when typing on it is annoying). The weight and size aren't an issue for me, and the physical fingerprint sensor was an underrated upgrade, but I did have a Whitestone glass screen protector on my note. I'll probably upgrade to another fold when the time is right, but I do have an underlying feeling that there's something more I desire from this phone. It could be the minor bugs that aren't worth mentioning, that you don't get with bar phones.
I can't stick with Samsung anymore, I currently have the S24 ultra but if you want to use a screen protector of any kind the finger print sensor will drive you nuts. Also people are having the same S24 ultra issue I'm having where the screen brightness will dim for some apps automatically and not go back to full brightness, you have to manually go back and raise the brightness. I thought about switching to the Z fold 6 but Samsung can't wake up and give me a wider cover screen so I can text people properly. So next step will be the Pixel 9 pro fold (bigger cover display with a traditional side finger print sensor.
My glass screen protector on my s24u works flawlessly with my finger print scanner. Maybe try a different brand.
I never had any issues with a screen protector and using the fingerprint sensor. Have u tried to enable the touch sensitivity in the options? Maybe this will help u out.
I've said it before, I'll say it again... I'm a huge fan of the next shiny thing... However I really want to want a folding phone but... I don't want one.... Shoot.
Adam, at 10:35 you NAILED it! Most tech nerds like us don't even think about design philosophy, we just think of what 'WE' think is 'leet' without even weighing in on actual company design philosophy! Awesome job!
There are way too many companies providing what we want now though.
If you sit down and don’t look at specs, Samsung does have the best user experience I’ve ever had anyways. Apple vs Samsung, tough choice.
Both are great phone. But you should buy according to your needs. If you don't have any tablets and would like to have bigger screen, then go for fold.
If you want bigger battery, better camera and have tablet devices, then S24U would be ideal.
I've had the zf6 nearly 2 weeks.. It's been good as I've been away on holiday.. But I've found myself using the 24u more.. Just more practical for every day use.. Imo
Z6f is class tho!
I had a Fold 3 for years, and I don't think I could go back. Just got the fold 6. I still think I want to go back to a regular phone at some point.
I dint think I could go back, but I'm gonna go back
Well, which is it, bucko?
I got both S24 Ultra as my main phone and the Fold for movies and RUclips on the go
The best of both worlds!
What’s the screen size when watching movies? I know it’s not full screen unless you watch it zoomed out cutting off the sides of the movie. What do you actually get screen size like 6.8 or 6.9?
@@vegetabletube7061I got my Z Fold 6 to fill in the full screen, you just have to downloaded a app from Samsung. Super happy with these 2 phones.
24 is better for.movies probably
@vegetabletube7061 fold it like watching on your TV black bars top and bottom so very good
I've had zfold 4, and zfold 5.... Now honestly thinking of going to s24ultra... The screen size difference isn't that huge, but the thickness is absolutely massive s24 felt amazing in my pocket... But still on the fence honestly thought I'd just get a tab S9 for replacing the work I do on the fold.
Why not getting one of those super slim chinese phone like the xiaomi for a change, cause they are super slim..
I had the Fold 3 and 4. I switched to the S24U and ended up missing my Fold after a couple of months, so I switched back to the Fold 6 this time. The phone feels light and not too thick, I'm really enjoying it.
There's some points about all of'em that suck when dealing with Samsung directly (or should I say Scamsung). Color schemes that are exclusive to the Samsung website - and only available to unlocked variants. Want black? Tough nuts, Crafted Black for the Fold6 AND Flip6 is a Samsung online exclusive.
The 1TB variants are also locked away behind unlocked variants, you can't even get a carrier branded 1TB S24 Ultra. But I think that was a thing since the S22 Ultra days because carriers and retailers didn't want it fearing it would be too expensive...buncha weirdos...
Sooo, i have comment that leads into a question. Please bare with me while I explain. I'm sorry for the novel, lmao.
Now, ive been a Samsung "Note" Ultra guy since the Note 10 Ultra. I never thought I'd use the "S-Pen" before so I stayed away from the "Ultras."
But, after getting my first Note 10 Ultra back in the day and tried the S-Pen, i immediately fell in love and never looked back!! Every single phone I've had since then was the "Note Ultra" with the S-Pen.
When I heard they were discontinuing the Note series, I was really sad because I knew the "S" series didn't come with these cool S-Pens.
Then i found out that you could get an "S" series phone that did come with an S-Pen as long as you got the "S Ultra." It was perfect because I honestly feel that they're the exact same phones anyways. Soo, i didn't have a choice but to switch to the "S" series Ultra for the pen. I use it constantly and absolutely love them! They make using the phone so much easier.
But, since ive been using a "Note Ultra/S Ultra" for all these years now, I kinda want to explore another phone series.
Sooo, my questions are.. does the Z-Fold 6 S-Pen work like the S23 Ultra S-Pen with all the features and controlling options? Like, the S23 Ultra S-Pen is like a "smart" S-Pen and has a ton of different uses and features. Is the S-Pen with the Fold 6 basically the same?
And let's say i have an extra S-Pen for my S23 Ultra. Can I use that S-Pen with the Fold 6?
And just to confirm, the Z Fold 6 DOES NOT come with the phone and is an extra accessory that needs purchased if im not able to use the extra S23 Ultra S-Pen with the Z Fold 6?
Hey thanks man for the wonderful comparison!
That really helps!
Thanks for this video! I'm still trying to decide which way to go. 🤦♀️
@@susanjudd9325 you’re welcome. Hopefully it helps
I have both as well, brother. I keep gravitating back to my S24 Ultra. Ha
This was the most realistic and helpful phone review I've ever watched. No BS. No filler.
Thanks for your video , it really help me to decide. I have s24 ultra and im going for fold 6
Glad I could help
You're talking directly to me... and thank you for that.
A couple years back I used a S22U for work and a Fold 4 for personal. Now its opposite. S24U for personal and Fold 6 for work. Pocket tablet for a sales career is really nice. For personal id rather have the nicer camera for taking family photos. We also go to beach alot and you dont have to worry about a speck of sand getting in the hinge while stowed away in the beach bag. Happened to a fold 4, man was that crunchy sounding 😅
Good points. Definitely don't take the time to the beach. 😅🫠
My two phones are the S24 Ultra and OnePlus Open.
@@smartphonefan5226 nice combo
In india there is only 300$ difference between z fold 6 and the s24 ultra so it's a no brainer to go for the z fold 6 it gives a much bigger display and much more multitaksing facility than the s24 ultra. Btw love from India❤️
I appreciate your truthfully honest reviews. Helps me make decisions. 👌
I had a z fold 6 for a little bit and try the " no regrets " catchy phrase.
Then I got tired of the battery life at the end of my work day being 10% and the charging slower.
Went back to my s24 ultra and realized why I like it better. I never really worry about the battery and charging.
The camera on the z fold 6 didn't really bother me that it wasn't the newest and best
I don't really use my camera. I mostly talk trash, play games, read, and watch videos. I draw, make memes, and read some more. I also watch movies and stream shows on Netflix, HBO, and other platforms.
I'm getting it, upgrading from the S22U... so? It's whatever. I spend more on graphics cards every year.
Graphics cards are expensive. Just got a 4080 Super
I also have spectrum mobile as my secondary line and have upgrade anytime plan so I’m good
Man am on the dilemma rite now thanks for the video
Glad I could help
Man stick with the 24 Ultra. The Z fold 6 needs to see a decrease in sales so we can see the improvements moving forward. You was right when you said the z fold 5
And the battery not good as the ultra
I'm happy with my s24 ultra
Nothing wrong with that
I had the fold 4 and I had to upgrade to the s24 ultra, I don't recommend the folding ones even if you take care of them (zero knocks and dust) they don't last more than 1 and a half years, the internal protective plastic lifts up and the hinge stops opening properly 😒
I got the S22 ultra been looking at the fold6. You said the cameras are pretty much the same? Kinda the only thing i care about, plus ive havent had any of the folds.
S24 ultra
Does your s24u fold?🤣🤣
I'll just stick with my S24 ultra!
Same here. Ultra is my means of communication...
I'll stick with my pixel 7
Me as well 🙂
Same here, I have a Tab S7 plus for when I want a big screen at home.
Me too...S24U is the best in the world. The fold is a niche phone😊
Great video as always. Looking at both myself
What’s the actual screen size for unfolded Z fold 6 for watching movies? I know it’s going to be blocked off horizontally. Is the true display for movies going to be 6.8
I have fold 4, and i want to go back to s ultra series. One major problem is hinge. I dropped it once and can open the hinge fully. The second reason is productivity. I use the outer screen more on a daily basis, but it is too tiny. But the inner screen js too big to use on a daily basis.
The pen is useful but can't be carried without a bulky case.
Display is better on ultra series, too.
I am going to use this device for at least 6 years because it was too damn pricey.
Can i make it to the s30 ultra lol.
Samsung charges a 5% restocking fee on fold6 return
I just got the Z fold 6, gave my S24 Ultra to wife, Im loving it....
Have had the S24 Ultra since launch. I skipped the Fold 5 for being to brick like. Now, why would I want a Fold 6?
Not gonna lie s24 ultra specs are really good. I will say once I got the z fold 4 I can not unsee it lol. The multiple screens got me hooked
@@scaplover it’s a nice feature
I tried the zfold 3, been wanting to try again but price, durability concerns, and bulk with case really kill it for me. If Samsung copied the surface duo which could have addressed it all I would be estatic. Now all I can hope for is a fatter slab phone with better landscape support.
I love both designs, but I'd stick with the S24 Ultra, because Fold Phones are way too expensive to get fixed. Of course, an S24 Ultra would be expensive to get fixed, but it's only one screen.
I currently have the Fold 4 and have issue with the screen and the hinge so I am about to get the S24 Ultra I will see how the Flod 6 handles the screen screen issues and consider getting the Fold 7 when it comes out, I have friends who just got the Fold 6
Also if I may add, if you ARE Interested in a fold. I'd suggest taking a look at Facebook market/Amazon refurbished...MUCH more tasteful in pricing.
I LOVE BOTH! loving the square layout!
Glad to hear it
How I wish the fold 6 has those bluetooth s pen that can slot inside the phone like ultra 24. The bluetooth pen can be used as a handy remote control for the camera. The one come with the case is just a normal s pen.
If the task is to paint and sketch outside and inside on a phone, but you don't want a permanently large phone, but at the same time you are very concerned about scratching and leaving dents on a folding phone from the pen.. What to do then?
s24 ultra is right for me and I want it
It’s a great phone
My s22 ultra unfortunately broke randomly with a motherboard issue. Might go for fold 6 but a bit undecided due to astrophotography
I just bought a S24 Ultra and i miss my old LG G7 Thinq with the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. I can't believe the screen protector on the S24 is blocking the fingerprint. Why is it on the screen anyway instead of the back? Not working therefore useless, even after activating "screen sensitivity" in the parameters.
No periscope zoom on Fold 6 is a deal breaker for me.
My fold4 inside screen went black but the outside still worked so i checked the fold6 and ultra so I decided to do the fold6. The insurance i feels a gimmick after trying to use it but one only gets the same phone without choice so since theres a warreny for a year on a new one no need for insurance at least its my thought.
This video helped a lot , been a long time iPhone user and really wanting a new change and always loved the android platform
I have the s24 ultra love it but trading it in for the fold 6
I wish i had the money to have both 🥺 in only have the s24 ultra
currently approaching 8th month with my Fold 5. If the durability doesn't hold up for me, Ultra it is (or S24 + Galaxy Tab S9)
Just subbed btw
Welcome aboard!
I'm just a glutton and have both. I love them both, plus you really get the best deal trading in ultra for ultra and fold for fold. Buy them once, keep trading in, and it's just a few hundred dollars to upgrade to a paid-for device. They are both amazing devices.
Have both
i watch alot of youtube videos so only a fold will do for me. and once you have a fold you can't go back!
I bought the Fold 6 purely because I had the 5 and I watch movies and play games on it at work 😂
NEITHER! The S23FE at $500 is ALL I need for my day-to-day life and serves my needs at a THIRD of the price! Paying ANYTHING more is just unnecessary... I have NO need for Magazine quality photos/videos AND NO need to for 8K video or all the other "frills" that I will NEVER use at THAT price. WHY?
You forgot the part where I asked.
Agreed!!
I've never traded in a phone before so this is a dumb question I am sure: Do you have to do a data transfer while you're sitting in the store or something?
No. You order your phone, receive it and then you have 2 weeks to post your trade phone to samsung. They will send the box and postage info in a box with the new phone.
Did you hear about the battery drain issue with the watch for 7? Rumor is, they are working on a firmware update.
Get my z fold 6 tomorrow trading in my s23 ultra
YEA ME 2... I MISS MY Z FOLD
Do you use s pen on your z fold phones?
I’m sure it would take way to long, but briefly fold 6 vs z Motorola fold vs one plus open?
7 years of support yes. But the fold most likeky for most won't even last half. 🤣. Don't buy Gimmicks. The chances you have to get repairs within the first year or more times is way too high
I got both, definitly pick the Z Fold6 and never look back.
vivo, oneplus open or honor v3 and i never look back to samsung 😁
@@nunosantos2015 No S-Pen support, no excellent software for foldables, no 7 years of software support and so on. Definitly Pick the Z Fold6 over those other brands.
@@bistduschlau9889 s pen is available on oneplus open but i don't care is useless for me in 2024, software on each of those in android 14 will be almost the same experience as samsung , 7 years update? no thanks i'm not using the same fold more than 2 years I prefer better battery, better camera, fast charge 100w, screen no crese, bigger cover screen as a normal phone , brighter display and thickness format and faster ram for cheaper price. samsung is far from there in this categories, i suggest you to rewatch some youtubers, oneplus open king in 2023 and vivo x fold 3 pro is already king in 2024👍 samsung is getting lazy and expensive like Apple, unfortunely samsung fold not worth 😒
Trade in right now for the s24 ultra is $1000, for the 1TB version aftsr s24 trade in is $1200 🤙🏽
Bro, I was at work the other day, and i had to use the stand on my case to watch a video on the S24 Ultra, and something told me I wouldn't have that issue with the Fold 6. Well, I've been obsessed with the idea of the fold ever since. I'm starting to think its the true evolution of the Note line.
Nah. It's not worth it.
my zfold 2 had a red line from top to bottome at the same place you pointed at woke up the next day and it was gone not sure if it did some pixle refresh or what
I was upgrading from Note 10+ to S24 Ultra. now z fold 6
Use my phone 60% vs 40% computer.
S24
-slab phone heavy to hold.
-Difficult to do split screen wIth Floating keyboard (covers one half)
-screen seems larger when flipped horizontal and completely filled w no bezel.
-feels bulky in front and back pocket.
Z fold
-akward to hold, need case with stand and pen holder
-multi tasking huge. 2 items up with room for keyboard.
-reading a document is easier where I can change the font and the doc fits within the screen.
-watching video, the screen fills smaller as the video does not fill the entire screen. It is like having a rectangle across a box with large black space on the top and bottom. I can watch the video on top and work on the bottom.
-seems more fragile (got insurance) But smaller foot print in back pocket even tho same weight.
This is what I heard
Both
-wireless charging/reverse wireless charging, Dex, same Chip, 12Gb Ram
-screens bright 2600 nitts, -speakers loud
-AI experience
Z fold (expensive but good trade in)
-slow charging 25 watts, 4400 mah battery size,
-camera 3yo. But still ok in low light, new chip helps
- selfie camera 4mp
-buy the case w stylus
-IP48 water
-risk thin glass on z fold
-crease on z fold
-need insurance
Benefit
-large screen
-multiple screens
-larger space to type, draw
S24
-anti reflective coating
-fast charging 45 watts, 5000mah
-gorilla glass
-great for video games
-Ip68 water
-Selfie Camera better
-big screen
-feels like a brick, yes!
Great content. When samsung makes the fold phones interior screen with gorilla glass, victuss ill stick with the slab phone.
Why do you need that?
@@jd_carefree why not🤔
I'm happy ❤😂❤ with s24U
@@viazel2796 it’s a great phone!
My 22 plus still works perfectly
I like my z fold 6 coming from.s 22ultra
I bought the Z Fold 5. I'll be good until 7 or 8. Probably 8.
With all due respect, the Z fold audience is not the instagram fanatics interested in camera x or y. It's for enterprise users. Are you basically now saying the S22 ultra camera is outdated? Come on, bro. The fact that phones are released every year does not mean you should get a new one every year. Only dummies do that. There's a reason why manufacturers entice folks with trade-ins
That's a spicy meatbal 😂😂😂
Sure is!
Love my fold 6 but battery life is killing me... 9 hour and 45 minute of total use but only 3:45 SOT and 33% left
you should get vivo x fold 3 pro all day long battery still going sleep with 20% and tomorrow morning charging in 30 minutes to 100%, just sell it as I did too
@@nunosantos2015 I'm not sure If I want to go through the hassle of working with importing the fold. Although I can admit that looks tempting
I think I chose wrongly. I chose the fold 6. Should of got the ultra after seeing my sisters
I got both.. Now I dont have to worry.
I don’t understand why you’re complaining that if you spend $1300 on an S24U and use it for a while before trading it in for a ZFold6, you won’t get the full price back. You used the phone for a while.
Very nice video
In reality, any folding Samsung folding phone as to it's flip phone has been a rubbish phone, and why bother spending extreme money on something, knowing it will start to slip in the middle and bubble with a year or 2, and split.
My true opinion is, stay clear as its completely rubbish as that crease is so frustrating,
And still miss the SD card slot on any flag ship phone, as to the LED notification light and the last of its kind, the Note20 Ultra 5g was the beast,
But went for the S24 ultra 5g, but just might next time not bother buying no Samsung phones after this, as all is a money racket to get you to buy something that is no difference at all, just the chip and android version, if not bothered of any android versions, save your money,
S24 Ultra alwayz cool 🎉
