Important to understand that this is MY review - I paid for this phone, I used this phone and will continue to use it to give you a longer-term review about how it’s held up in my day to day. But at the moment, here’s my findings.
I must admit, I love this type of review. I am thinking of getting the Fold 6 even though I am disappointed with the lack of effort that's been made when compared to the efforts from the likes of Google, Honor, OnePlus, and even Huawei. Also, with the rumors of the Fold Ultra/Slim, it sounds to me like Samsung is admitting that they have made a mistake, but I can't understand why they are limiting its release because it's obvious that Westerners want it. The only thing that I am worried about is the durability of the other phones. Samsung has managed to improve each year, and I haven't had any issues with the Fold 5 at all. I love the One UI experience and don't know if I would like the other software experiences or if I would have to change my entire ecosystem. I know I am going to be disappointed because there is better hardware out there that I know Samsung could match or surpass.
This phone has worked very well for me when using it for online school.. being able to listen to lectures and complete essays, while searching and reviewing sscholarly sources has been way better than using an actual tablet. If you are an online student I would highly recommend this phone
Most people aren't paying 1900 for the phone. Depending on your plan you can get almost 1100 off. For 800 it's more than worth it. It's a tablet that can be used as a phone.
I was coming from the S21 Ultra, so I think it will be a nice upgrade. I used a $1,000 discount for a final price of just over $800, which I feel was a good deal.
While I do agree - you’d be surprised to see how many people are paying the full price on these devices. And regardless, promos are only as good as how long they last. There is no doubt this is a $1,900 phone. But at the moment, it may not be (for some people).
Yeah, I just got the fold 6 as my first foldable, and in just a few weeks, I'm already concerned I'll never be able to go back to a standard style phone. I've even gotten used to the smaller front screen, with the understanding I can always have a bigger screen at any time if needed. But I'm out of control now. I've already preordered the google 9 fold, as one who always likes to have a "back up phone". HEEEEEELP!!!! 😰
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Holy crap, you're right!! I forgot, we're robots. We're not allowed to like something if someone else doesn't like it. I have changed my preferences to now match with yours. I will consider throwing my phone in the trash now. But before I do that, which phone am I allowed to like? I don't want to waste anymore money on a device someone ELSE doesn't like.
18:00 yes you very much could, but what's easier and more convenient to get (you're own words) more or less the same experience? 2 separate devices that both need to be charged and takes up space, likely even requires a bag or case to carry it around, as well as the chargers, or just one device that folds up and fits in your jeans pockets?
I had the fold 3. Recently decided time to upgrade to the 6. Oh god is it amazing. Love it. Only thing that would make it better is them figuring out how to integrate a Z Pen into the shell (I figure they'll call it a Z Pen since it would be a complete redesign on the S Pen and to be more in line with the Fold's Z moniker)
Same here! Over 15 years iPhone user giving Samsung another try. To each of their own there are things that's better than one over the other. But overall I am liking the Fold 6 more and more.
I have a z fold 5 and i just ordered the s24 ultra because the phone is just too small when folded... cases don't really fit it correctly and it's irritating
I look at it to inform myself about it, and not because I already have a fixed opinion. I think the video is actually meant to be used to promote Google.😮
From s21 ultra to zfold4 to zflip5 to s 23 ultra to 24 ultra to now fold 6. I have a lot of great things to say about this phone, except the charging speed. 25 w is iphone like speed and its disgusting.
Not trying to defend them too much here but a lot of consumers don't know a lot about phone batteries so they often use the phone while it's charging. Since the fold 6 is so thin but powerful at the same time, while either having to power twice the screen size or being folded (leading to worse cooling conditions), there might just not be enough cooling power to handle all that AND 45w charging while keeping the battery safe. For me personally it's not that big of an issue since I always charge my phone over night and even there I have to use the battery protection mode since it's obviously way too fast. I've never experienced 45w charging before though so I don't know what I'm missing out on 😅
Charging speed really isn't a big deal. That doesn't bother me it charges fast enough when I need it. My gripe is the cameras. They are good but not the best. I get good enough pictures just want more zoom and closer to s24ultra cameras
I went from a note 20 ultra to an S23 U and then a S24U. I did the twenty three because I was starting to be concerned about the trade in of the phone and wanted the new UI. I never liked the twenty three I don't know why.Because they're all similar, but for some reason, I just never bonded with that phone. Truth be told the note twenty ultra was my favorite phone because of the color the mystic bronze, and just in general, how it felt. But I do like the twenty four ultra. But i'm also itching for a fold. Right now it's just too expensive for the compromises. You would think for almost $2000 US that you would have a better than mediocre camera. I'm not a big camera person. I just want to get my money's worth and when I do take a photo or a video I want it to be good. I realize that with all the increased technology, they have to put the money into that and make compromises somewhere. We're never gonna have it all with these devices, and it comes down to basically can you live with the compromises In order to get the newness?
@@dorothy135 for me personally when I unfold the zfold6, the experience I get from watch RUclips or basketball games , a normal candy bar phone can not give me.
It's a phenomenal phone, but it's not for everyone. I love my S Ultra series, couldn't see giving it up for a foldable and I have an Honor Magic V2 Global but still use my S24 Ultra 99% of the time
@@MegaIceman66 I have, I love one ui but I just can't get the hang of the outer screen even if its improved this year. One thing that I do love and I believe it is a Samsung only thing is that you can have 2 totally different layouts from outer to inner screen with Samsung, the other foldables mirror the outer
I love mine. The weight is definitely a plus, and it runs a lot cooler than my fold 5. the 5 sometimes felt like it was going to catch on fire or overheat when I played games that ran the cpu to its max. It also felt like my fold 5.
I still love my z fold 5. Thanks to my mobile gaming channel it made it possible for me to get it on contract and now I had it exactly one year and it's still amazing. I still make content on my phone to upload to my channel, the inside display has had no issues. No damage, it still folds perfectly fine. The front display is fine, the battery life is still great. I really am so happy with this phone. I don't think I missed out on the z fold 6.
The best thing about the zfold series is the slim, easy to hold and pocketable size. Thats what appeals to me most in a foldable. I just traded my z fold 5, 512gb for a 1tb zfold 6 and paid $449. Definitely worth it.
Coming from iPhone 14 Pro Max , got bored of iOS. Had iPhone since iPhone X. Just personally love s24 ultra , but feel like it would be better just to have a separate tablet. I’ve tried to find any good reason of having a foldable. But it’s been hard to convince myself. Plus I like the main screen being bigger, if they ever make the foldable with the same size as the ultra I might seeing it being an option. But right now I’m still thinking foldable aren’t really worth it, like you said you could get a separate tablet for the same price nearly if not cheaper.
I agree with your final thought, it's fun but frustrating. I have a Fold 5, and there's just not enought new or better justifying the higher price tag and an upgrade. I DID however buy a OnePlus Open because I thought the cameras were better, and SPOILER...they are better. The Fold 6 is beautiful, but for the $$$ it needs better cameras, and a lower price.
I'm in my first week with the ZF6. I too love the Spigen Zero cases. I enjoyed one on my S23U, and was pleased to find one for the ZF6. I also recommend the IMBZBK screen protector kit. It features protection for both inner and outer displays, and the lenses, but with the Spigen case, the lense protector is too large. I'm still getting used to a smaller outer display, typing is a bit tougher with my large hands. This is my first folding phone in over a decade, and I am pretty pleased. The crease doesn't really bother me. I have found the battery to be pretty great when not having heavy apps running in the background. The inner screen on One Plus you showed really looked amazing. Price on the ZF6 is way too high in my opinion, and I am very fortunate to have mine provided by my employer. Nice video!
I usually use both Samsung and Apple flagships every year at the same time. I had the S24 Ultra, gave it to mi wife and jumped for the first time into foldables, The Z fold 6 is a very matured and refined foldable phone, the experience has been really great for me, actually having a narrower phone is not bad, very pocketable and still the front screen is very usable. Cameras as not being as powerful as the S24 Ultra are still very decent and provide good videos and pictures (you have to understand that not everybody is a tech geek like most of us here), regarding the battery life it depends on your daily activities and lifestyle, in my situation I end up with 50% battery around 12:30 at night so is very good IMO. No regrets here, very fun phone to use, and one more thing.... the Samsung Dex is here as well, which turns this phone into a full blown PC, best functionality on a Samsung phone.
2 years ago I got a galaxy z fold 4 and I'm at the point where I'm about ready to upgrade to the galaxy z fold 6. I'm happy to say after 2 years of having the galaxy z fold 4 I didn't run into as many problems as I have on my previous phones so I'm kind of excited to upgrade it.
I think that tech tubers who purchase every generation of a device might be more negative because they've had the last iteration and have higher than normal expectations for the latest generation. Plus all of the "hype" or "prototypes" of what the next gen could potentially be in between generations along with all of the leaks also builds the high expectations so I can see why tech tubers feel like the latest generation of a device then falls flat for them. If I went from the Fold 3 to the 4 to the 5 to the 6, I guess I wouldn't feel like there was much of a change, but coming from the Fold 3 or 4, I can see the massive change with the Fold 6. 🤷🏻♀️
I got the first gen Z Fold and it was great but the integrated screen protector on bigger display was coming off. Then I got the Z Fold 3 and it was amazing but after many months I sold it to my friend after he opened his restaurant and didn't want to use a annoying Windows or MacOS laptop since Office 360 is annoying on linux. He still didn't had a issue with the screen protector on the big display. Now I got the Z Fold 6 with a lot of discounts where I pay for the 512gb version less than 1300$. I tested the phone at my local electronics market and it got better but I love the fact that I can just use the small display with one hand which is amazing and I used the bigger display only for video content consumption.
amazon price for covers might be high , i got one that finally stopped blocking right side text & on the right side, i couldn't raise up volume oh the 1 i got from Amazon didnt protect my phone the middle part got damage afte i drop it phone damage , just really check yoyr cover from on / off switch ,te ting fully not covered by LEFT side ...where you cant text or copy because its being covered by screen cover
Recently went from s20ultra to the zfold6, and it 100% feels like a downgrade. I should have done more research. The battery is inferior, the sms app is horrible and my old one isn't available to download, finger print scanner on the side is ok but annoying for the way I'll use my phone most of the time. I will say the exterior screen does look crispy though, but the whole thing feels like a downgrade from a 4 year old phone, which is sad...
@@FakersFather wth is a priece? My gosh I think you meant priest by the way of you exorcism your run on sentence, one UI no match for oxygenos, I have to make a carrier "primary" I can't switch off having dual sim where I make my T-Mobile calls while Verizon would be my data... Also visual voicemail is a problem, pathetic one UI
@@uMADden well be happy to speak one Language fluently and laugh about them who learn your language as 3 language . Your so Good Mate, But still has No Club about mobilephones. Enjoy your Wasted Money hhahaha
The thing with the cameras on the Fold6 is that this is the third year in a row that Samsung's used them, as they were on the Fold5 AND the Fold4. And *for me*, that was a downgrade when the Fold4 was new and I had the opportunity to upgrade from my S10+! (I went with the S22 Ultra) Doesn't seem like they're going to make them any better, either. The inner screen...it's pretty disgraceful that it's gettin' whooped by an almost one-year-old phone (OnePlus Open aka Oppo Find N3, which came out October 2023).
That’s such a good deal, I paid £1100 with iPhone trade in but it came with a case, a tab 9 FE & a Chromebook go (all of which I’m selling) which will bring the cost down to about £6-700 with a trade in
I wanted the fold 6, but the price to value just isn't there. The Ultra packs so much punch for half the price, but at least to me feels terrible in the hand. The 24+ feels great but I have a hard time getting excited for it as it feels like the same old thing released by every manufacturer every year. Guess I am waiting until next year to see if Samsung can release something worth getting excited about.
@@Anamae5451 It really is though, feels so good and is packed to the top with great features for a great price. Soon as I talk myself off the ledge of a fold 6, that is likely what I will pick up. No way I can wait an entire year haha.
@@uneCENT Just wait. I really wanted the fold 6 as well but I'm waiting to see if the rumors are true of Samsung wanting to release an ultra fold. It undoubtedly would be better and for me the best way to start my fold experience 😊 rn I'm happy with my s24 plus 😁
Get the full warranty if you buy one. 18 months after purchasing my Zfolf the speaker stopped working. Shocker-how many times can you bend wiring back & fourth until they break? I assumed Galaxy Z fold engineers were more intelligent than that. I should never assume. So zill forever use a Bluetooth speaker & ear piece to make calls. Yea! I LOVE throwing $ down a hole in the ground.
I got to mess with the 6 and it's great! Best foldable.. But i currently use the 4 and even with the trade in the price is near $1000. In every day use, i just don't know if I'd treat it much differently than what im doing now. Im ok keeping the 4 but congrats to all of you who got the 6!
I don't regret mine at all. My phone provider gave me 1200 off. I had the iPhone 14 pro max . The photos looks just as good if not better in my opinion. Only the zoom isn't as good but I'm not missing anything because zooming in has never be been that great anyways. When it's open its just as wide as all the other fold phones that have larger dimensions because of the height. You will see when watching videos and using samsung really did an amazing job. Especially when using multi screen apps and gaming or using dex. Which I use almost every day.
I've found the signal on mine absolutely garbage. I also have an iphone 14 pro and the 14 pro never struggled in some place the Z fold 6 struggles. This it's a deal breaker for me personally and calling samsung, they don't believe me or care. Probably going to sell.
Going from s22 ultra to the fold 6, the charging speeds are my only complaint. 25w through an ac charger and 10w through my anker prime power bank is abysmal.
I lave fold 5 and I was on the fence about upgrading. Is it worth upgrading from 5 to a 6? I like you video explaining the difference between the 5 and 6. Walker
I would not buy chinese foldables for OS and warranty. Samsung is way ahead in terms of the OS and warranty. Yes battery and better cameras is the only thing that needs to be updated. For me cover screen is fine.. And i traded my flip 5 and got it for CAD $1500 plus taxes..
I think ima stick with the 5 for now. I think this thing will be competitive for the 4 years samsung promises to keep it updated. Also if youre one who pays for insurance if you break your phone and they cant find a replacement they upgrade you for the same price.
Thank you so much for your great content and very honest review of the Z Fold6. I appreciate your sheer candor, especially since you are a big Z Fold supporter and user. I daily drive a Z Fold4 and refuse to upgrade until the hardware of Samsung's Z Fold lineup matches at least its chinese counterparts, which are even cheaper in price. Thank you, and keep up the great work in your reviews.
I own s 23 ultra and thinking about switch for fold6..any suggestions?my concern is about dust resistance (sometimes i work in dust environments) and resolution ratio for videos and x box game pass atc. Any advice?
I went from s23 to the fold. I love it. Battery is definitely an issue though if you are a medium to heavy user. I don't watch TV so this was a great purchase for me
@@Gamer_85 I am not aware of how it works in the UK or what kind of offers you get there, my comment was more for the person who claimed they got it for $900.
🌟 I appreciate the review. I caught it late, watching on my fold 6. I love to have a all in one device. I bought a tablet a few years ago for myself. It ended up getting taken over by my kids 😅. I upgraded from the fold 4. I love this thing. (Edited to add the 🌟) 😂
I definitely wouldn't pay full cost for any phone at this price. I picked up a Fold 6 on ebay for £1060 - they drop in price on the private market so damn fast. I don't keep my phones for very long normally either so I don't mind not getting it direct from Samsung or retailer. Definitely not a perfect phone but for just over a grand I'm happy with it!
That's why apple didn't realises a fold or a flip phone because the main issue cold not be address the dent of phone...they have a secretly developing something mind blowing that could Surrpast or beyond in our imagination like the first release of iPhones.. 😊
Don’t listen to him, they’re all fantastic cases and I’ve been using them for ages - prior to Spigen even reaching out. No obligation here to tell you you can’t go wrong with either. But the ultra hybrid is a nice case.
@@sergiopetternella this is how people saw the s24 line from the s23 line. samsung then added the temperature and screen vividness setting. maybe your friend has it on the stock setting? or maybe samsung hasnt added it yet. (i have the s24)
@@sergiopetternella yeah lol, i had an iphone 13 pro before and got the s24. the camera is absolute doggy doo doo. everything else is nice though. I am thinking about getting the fold 6 tho
Looking forward to see your next video from you. Terrific segment, ValisMind. I tapped your thumbs up marker on your creation. Keep the excellent work.
2024 and Still using my Fold 3 with lastest Android Software. Its the software that transforms the phone and with constant updates it gets better. If you have previous Fold phones from 3 to 5, there is no point in upgrading to this fold 6. There is no major changes that make you say wow. Your wasting your money if you upgrade from another fold to this. I waiting to see if the fold 6 Ultra becomes available which is available in the Asian Market on testing phases. If it a big hit in Asia it might go Global. The fold 6 ultra will have major changes and much bigger than the fold 6.
I really wanted this phone but because of the cameras I will not and because of Samsung politics, not really caring about users; I might not go back to Samsung for a while.
Don't understand why people spend so much cash on a phone that sucks, the cameras are terrible, the battery sucks, the crease is just an eye sore, just buy a s24 ultra, wait for the 16 pro max or just buy a pixel 9 pro or xl , would not recommend this phone at all
Tech reviews are ruining people's experiences. It makes people's expectations thru the roof. Cell phones have come ALONG WAY, and they all nit pick every single thing. Nothing is perfect dam.
I switched from iPhone I love this phone can't wait to play fantasy with it while at the same time looking up stats without having to go back and forth I ut of apps
Vivo and the Honor magic v3 look good but samsung fold 6 I think it's nice I've still got fold 4 . 6 was my upgrade. Sadly I didn't get free ear buds or a case. Like I did with the fold 4. Getting my free gift as in the projector was impossible. In the end I totally gave up.
Every time I see the day of the week half written in the video it bothers me alot lol. I would change that to something else right away. Otherwise I really enjoyed this video. I have an S24 ultra and tab s9 ultra. I think I prefer this than a tab/phone. Thanks for the review!
this review is on the dot, I would add that I do use the AI a lot , it helps me with work, also it makes things easier, so I add a couple of points to that
✨ Galaxy AI is Crap (except circle to search) but the star is for your constructive reviews. PS. The Anti reflective/glare screen protector from Samsung for the outer screen us much much better in the Z Fold 6 than the S24 Ultra version, that one had sharp edges but this is great even against finger print smudges.
I haven’t used any Samsung brand screen protectors. - I use Spigen tempered glass, but I was talking about the actual anti reflective display (Fold 6 doesn’t have one). Maybe I should try the protector out. Shame the inner display has no anti reflective qualities though
@@valismind Totally understand what you’re saying and I do wish Samsung made the same screen protector option at least for the inner display (since they didn’t make the actual screen like the S24 Ultra). But you should give the Samsung Anti-Glare outside screen protector a shot. It’s not pricy and I haven’t had a reason to remove it yet (although I have plenty of Glass and Matte screen protectors waiting to be applied) lol

It's a phenomenal phone, but it's not for everyone. I love my S Ultra series, couldn't see giving it up for a foldable and I have an Honor Magic V2 Global but still use my S24 Ultra 99% of the time
@samanthamarasca8864 have you used a foldable from Samsung? How does the software from the honor compare to Samsung. Is a change worth it?
@@MegaIceman66 I have, I love one ui but I just can't get the hang of the outer screen even if its improved this year. One thing that I do love and I believe it is a Samsung only thing is that you can have 2 totally different layouts from outer to inner screen with Samsung, the other foldables mirror the outer
1900? I paid $750 with an iphone 13pro and student didcount program.
Super worth it for me. And i love it. 😊
Got this phone 1 week ago, i am a non tech Gen X'er, and i am very happy with it!
I love mine. The weight is definitely a plus, and it runs a lot cooler than my fold 5. the 5 sometimes felt like it was going to catch on fire or overheat when I played games that ran the cpu to its max. It also felt like my fold 5.
I still love my z fold 5. Thanks to my mobile gaming channel it made it possible for me to get it on contract and now I had it exactly one year and it's still amazing. I still make content on my phone to upload to my channel, the inside display has had no issues. No damage, it still folds perfectly fine. The front display is fine, the battery life is still great. I really am so happy with this phone. I don't think I missed out on the z fold 6.
The best thing about the zfold series is the slim, easy to hold and pocketable size. Thats what appeals to me most in a foldable. I just traded my z fold 5, 512gb for a 1tb zfold 6 and paid $449. Definitely worth it.
Coming from iPhone 14 Pro Max , got bored of iOS. Had iPhone since iPhone X. Just personally love s24 ultra , but feel like it would be better just to have a separate tablet. I’ve tried to find any good reason of having a foldable. But it’s been hard to convince myself. Plus I like the main screen being bigger, if they ever make the foldable with the same size as the ultra I might seeing it being an option. But right now I’m still thinking foldable aren’t really worth it, like you said you could get a separate tablet for the same price nearly if not cheaper.
And carry more devices around.....
I agree with your final thought, it's fun but frustrating. I have a Fold 5, and there's just not enought new or better justifying the higher price tag and an upgrade. I DID however buy a OnePlus Open because I thought the cameras were better, and SPOILER...they are better. The Fold 6 is beautiful, but for the $$$ it needs better cameras, and a lower price.
I'm in my first week with the ZF6. I too love the Spigen Zero cases. I enjoyed one on my S23U, and was pleased to find one for the ZF6. I also recommend the IMBZBK screen protector kit. It features protection for both inner and outer displays, and the lenses, but with the Spigen case, the lense protector is too large. I'm still getting used to a smaller outer display, typing is a bit tougher with my large hands. This is my first folding phone in over a decade, and I am pretty pleased. The crease doesn't really bother me. I have found the battery to be pretty great when not having heavy apps running in the background. The inner screen on One Plus you showed really looked amazing. Price on the ZF6 is way too high in my opinion, and I am very fortunate to have mine provided by my employer. Nice video!
I usually use both Samsung and Apple flagships every year at the same time. I had the S24 Ultra, gave it to mi wife and jumped for the first time into foldables, The Z fold 6 is a very matured and refined foldable phone, the experience has been really great for me, actually having a narrower phone is not bad, very pocketable and still the front screen is very usable. Cameras as not being as powerful as the S24 Ultra are still very decent and provide good videos and pictures (you have to understand that not everybody is a tech geek like most of us here), regarding the battery life it depends on your daily activities and lifestyle, in my situation I end up with 50% battery around 12:30 at night so is very good IMO. No regrets here, very fun phone to use, and one more thing.... the Samsung Dex is here as well, which turns this phone into a full blown PC, best functionality on a Samsung phone.
2 years ago I got a galaxy z fold 4 and I'm at the point where I'm about ready to upgrade to the galaxy z fold 6. I'm happy to say after 2 years of having the galaxy z fold 4 I didn't run into as many problems as I have on my previous phones so I'm kind of excited to upgrade it.
I think that tech tubers who purchase every generation of a device might be more negative because they've had the last iteration and have higher than normal expectations for the latest generation. Plus all of the "hype" or "prototypes" of what the next gen could potentially be in between generations along with all of the leaks also builds the high expectations so I can see why tech tubers feel like the latest generation of a device then falls flat for them. If I went from the Fold 3 to the 4 to the 5 to the 6, I guess I wouldn't feel like there was much of a change, but coming from the Fold 3 or 4, I can see the massive change with the Fold 6. 🤷🏻♀️
It tries to be a working phone/business phone but you can't use Spen on the front screen, like why?
I have the s22 ultra had it for 3 years and In love it I'll wait for the s25 ultra
This is the perfect phone to do a line on at a party!! You should do a powder test 😅😅
You can definitely do some good size rails off of that bad boy.
@@expeditionlimitless1337 especially off the little crease in the middle.
Lol
I got the first gen Z Fold and it was great but the integrated screen protector on bigger display was coming off.
Then I got the Z Fold 3 and it was amazing but after many months I sold it to my friend after he opened his restaurant and didn't want to use a annoying Windows or MacOS laptop since Office 360 is annoying on linux. He still didn't had a issue with the screen protector on the big display.
Now I got the Z Fold 6 with a lot of discounts where I pay for the 512gb version less than 1300$. I tested the phone at my local electronics market and it got better but I love the fact that I can just use the small display with one hand which is amazing and I used the bigger display only for video content consumption.
amazon price for covers might be high , i got one that finally stopped blocking right side text & on the right side, i couldn't raise up volume oh the 1 i got from Amazon didnt protect my phone the middle part got damage afte i drop it phone damage , just really check yoyr cover from on / off switch ,te ting fully not covered by LEFT side ...where you cant text or copy because its being covered by screen cover
Recently went from s20ultra to the zfold6, and it 100% feels like a downgrade. I should have done more research. The battery is inferior, the sms app is horrible and my old one isn't available to download, finger print scanner on the side is ok but annoying for the way I'll use my phone most of the time. I will say the exterior screen does look crispy though, but the whole thing feels like a downgrade from a 4 year old phone, which is sad...
Lol, I went with a OnePlus open, whoo hoo
@@uMADdenHhahah Even Worse, bad phone, bad software , bad Hardware , Bad akku aswell hahahhaha But Nearly Same priece , Great job bro

Yup way too expensive when they drop great useful stuff and too fragile...too much hype
The thing with the cameras on the Fold6 is that this is the third year in a row that Samsung's used them, as they were on the Fold5 AND the Fold4. And *for me*, that was a downgrade when the Fold4 was new and I had the opportunity to upgrade from my S10+! (I went with the S22 Ultra) Doesn't seem like they're going to make them any better, either.
The inner screen...it's pretty disgraceful that it's gettin' whooped by an almost one-year-old phone (OnePlus Open aka Oppo Find N3, which came out October 2023).
Currently on fold 5 , 6 arriving tomorrow excited 😊
I only paid $1200 for the Z Fold 512gb model brand new without trade-in. I don't know who is paying $2000+ for it. 🤷♂️
That’s such a good deal, I paid £1100 with iPhone trade in but it came with a case, a tab 9 FE & a Chromebook go (all of which I’m selling) which will bring the cost down to about £6-700 with a trade in
@@Unknown_Handle404 Very nice!
I wanted the fold 6, but the price to value just isn't there. The Ultra packs so much punch for half the price, but at least to me feels terrible in the hand. The 24+ feels great but I have a hard time getting excited for it as it feels like the same old thing released by every manufacturer every year. Guess I am waiting until next year to see if Samsung can release something worth getting excited about.
S24 plus is 🔥
@@Anamae5451 It really is though, feels so good and is packed to the top with great features for a great price. Soon as I talk myself off the ledge of a fold 6, that is likely what I will pick up. No way I can wait an entire year haha.
@@uneCENT Just wait. I really wanted the fold 6 as well but I'm waiting to see if the rumors are true of Samsung wanting to release an ultra fold. It undoubtedly would be better and for me the best way to start my fold experience 😊 rn I'm happy with my s24 plus 😁
I have 24U. Always wanted a folding phone and am planning to switch to Fold 7 next yr. Not so much for Fold6 .. at least i'm not sold
Get the full warranty if you buy one. 18 months after purchasing my Zfolf the speaker stopped working. Shocker-how many times can you bend wiring back & fourth until they break? I assumed Galaxy Z fold engineers were more intelligent than that. I should never assume. So zill forever use a Bluetooth speaker & ear piece to make calls. Yea! I LOVE throwing $ down a hole in the ground.
I have the fold 5 and didn't see the point in the upgrade
Yea, me to nothing but a refresh smh
I am curious to know why people compare phones that they do not like.😏
Nice to see an honest review. Thank you!
I guess you can buy all that stuff but have to carry all of them. Its part of the advantage of the phone. Great video.
Only advantage...but then major disadvantages show up like too fragile
Way overpriced
Lacks too much
I got to mess with the 6 and it's great! Best foldable.. But i currently use the 4 and even with the trade in the price is near $1000. In every day use, i just don't know if I'd treat it much differently than what im doing now. Im ok keeping the 4 but congrats to all of you who got the 6!
I've had a fold 4 for nearly two years and I'm not a delicate person and it's held up fine and wouldn't upgrade unless it broke
Thanks for letting us know it was a regret. I am not buying it now for me and my kids. You saved me $5,700.00 for 3 of these.
I don't regret mine at all. My phone provider gave me 1200 off. I had the iPhone 14 pro max . The photos looks just as good if not better in my opinion. Only the zoom isn't as good but I'm not missing anything because zooming in has never be been that great anyways. When it's open its just as wide as all the other fold phones that have larger dimensions because of the height. You will see when watching videos and using samsung really did an amazing job. Especially when using multi screen apps and gaming or using dex. Which I use almost every day.
Can i ask what clock widget you're using?
I've found the signal on mine absolutely garbage. I also have an iphone 14 pro and the 14 pro never struggled in some place the Z fold 6 struggles. This it's a deal breaker for me personally and calling samsung, they don't believe me or care. Probably going to sell.
Where did you get your case from?
Im so glad i dont take notice of youtube reviewers.
Going from s22 ultra to the fold 6, the charging speeds are my only complaint. 25w through an ac charger and 10w through my anker prime power bank is abysmal.
Going hold out for the S25Ultra. The Folds lackluster cameras kill it for me.
Ok thanks for sharing
If you want good cameras, why not just get a camera?
On the one plus open is that a standard wallpaper? the person sitting in the boat? How can i put it on my fold?.?..?.
It’s not a standard wallpaper it’s from the Walli app
I lave fold 5 and I was on the fence about upgrading. Is it worth upgrading from 5 to a 6? I like you video explaining the difference between the 5 and 6. Walker
My friend has one and it looks terrible. Right down the middle it looks like plastic that you’ve bent back and forth to much.
I traded my broken old S22 ultra for this phone and samsung gave ne 1000 dollars off for 800 bucks it's worth it
I would not buy chinese foldables for OS and warranty. Samsung is way ahead in terms of the OS and warranty. Yes battery and better cameras is the only thing that needs to be updated. For me cover screen is fine..
And i traded my flip 5 and got it for CAD $1500 plus taxes..
Where did you get your day wallpaper widget?
Fold 6 is awesome, if you are a first time foldable buyer. If you had for 5 or 4 i can understand some of the frustration.
Where did u get the clock face
no built-in SPen is still a mehhhh... 😅 mediocre camera, meeehhhh 😅
I've been without a fold for a couple months and I wanna go back.
The price is the problem for what it's lacking compared to the ultra simple. Price it at $1200 and boom, we'll give it a try
I got mine for for 1200 with trade in
It is around that price now
I think ima stick with the 5 for now. I think this thing will be competitive for the 4 years samsung promises to keep it updated. Also if youre one who pays for insurance if you break your phone and they cant find a replacement they upgrade you for the same price.
Thank you so much for your great content and very honest review of the Z Fold6. I appreciate your sheer candor, especially since you are a big Z Fold supporter and user. I daily drive a Z Fold4 and refuse to upgrade until the hardware of Samsung's Z Fold lineup matches at least its chinese counterparts, which are even cheaper in price. Thank you, and keep up the great work in your reviews.
I own s 23 ultra and thinking about switch for fold6..any suggestions?my concern is about dust resistance (sometimes i work in dust environments) and resolution ratio for videos and x box game pass atc.
Any advice?
I went from s23 to the fold. I love it. Battery is definitely an issue though if you are a medium to heavy user. I don't watch TV so this was a great purchase for me
got mine for £1100 brand new, absolute no brainer
That’s not bad at all!
I got mine for $900 for the 512GB. Totally worth it
With a trade-in, don't
make it sound like that's the retail price.
@@ZubinSaxena no, not with a trade in. It's called shopping around
@@Gamer_85 I am not aware of how it works in the UK or what kind of offers you get there, my comment was more for the person who claimed they got it for $900.
🌟 I appreciate the review. I caught it late, watching on my fold 6. I love to have a all in one device. I bought a tablet a few years ago for myself. It ended up getting taken over by my kids 😅. I upgraded from the fold 4. I love this thing. (Edited to add the 🌟) 😂
I tried to like it, but just think it’s a complete waste that watching a film on it is no better than watching it on an ordinary slab phone
I definitely wouldn't pay full cost for any phone at this price. I picked up a Fold 6 on ebay for £1060 - they drop in price on the private market so damn fast. I don't keep my phones for very long normally either so I don't mind not getting it direct from Samsung or retailer. Definitely not a perfect phone but for just over a grand I'm happy with it!
Yeah at a grand it’s hard to pass
@@valismind ye definitely, so around 1800 Canadian Dollars I think it works out to.
I bought my zFold6 for $555.99 with a $1456.00 trade-in for my zFold5 going through Samsung with a free upgrade to 512gb
@@jodeereddin5974 nice not bad!
My experience with the fold4 Amazing phone. But 3 times hinge broken. I dont trust samsung anymore. Fold 4 had a design problem on the hinge.
Love my Z FOLD!!
Excellent review, appreciated.
How did you get it to say Monday and Twelve 33 on your home screen?
KWGT Widget :)
Who cares how STUPID.... mommy Mommy look what I did with my phone
That's why apple didn't realises a fold or a flip phone because the main issue cold not be address the dent of phone...they have a secretly developing something mind blowing that could Surrpast or beyond in our imagination like the first release of iPhones.. 😊
do you prefer slim armor or ultra hybrid one?
none of them
@@Voltar78 then which one?
Don’t listen to him, they’re all fantastic cases and I’ve been using them for ages - prior to Spigen even reaching out. No obligation here to tell you you can’t go wrong with either. But the ultra hybrid is a nice case.
@@srbell67 I prefer Samsung, spigen is too bulky
@@Voltar78 and no hinge protection?
the internal screen is also worse than fold5 and the videos have a "pale" tint
@@sergiopetternella this is how people saw the s24 line from the s23 line. samsung then added the temperature and screen vividness setting. maybe your friend has it on the stock setting? or maybe samsung hasnt added it yet. (i have the s24)
@@sergiopetternella yeah lol, i had an iphone 13 pro before and got the s24. the camera is absolute doggy doo doo. everything else is nice though. I am thinking about getting the fold 6 tho
Damn so should I say with my s23 ultra???? I've been debating for like a week
Looking forward to see your next video from you. Terrific segment, ValisMind. I tapped your thumbs up marker on your creation. Keep the excellent work.
When will it be possible to play ps5 games on mobile... Would love to hook up a controller and NBA2K game
Just use something like GeForce Now.
That’s exactly why I’m on the fence about buying the new pixel fold. These foldable cameras are terrible
2024 and Still using my Fold 3 with lastest Android Software. Its the software that transforms the phone and with constant updates it gets better.
If you have previous Fold phones from 3 to 5, there is no point in upgrading to this fold 6. There is no major changes that make you say wow. Your wasting your money if you upgrade from another fold to this.
I waiting to see if the fold 6 Ultra becomes available which is available in the Asian Market on testing phases. If it a big hit in Asia it might go Global.
The fold 6 ultra will have major changes and much bigger than the fold 6.
Ive used a fold since 3. Just upgraded to 6. Imcredibly good phone and can never go bwck to a traditional phone
I like the fold 6.
I really wanted this phone but because of the cameras I will not and because of Samsung politics, not really caring about users; I might not go back to Samsung for a while.
My first fold phone, and I love it.
Don't understand why people spend so much cash on a phone that sucks, the cameras are terrible, the battery sucks, the crease is just an eye sore, just buy a s24 ultra, wait for the 16 pro max or just buy a pixel 9 pro or xl , would not recommend this phone at all
Thank you for touching on cell reception. Reviewers hardly talk about it.
Tech reviews are ruining people's experiences. It makes people's expectations thru the roof. Cell phones have come ALONG WAY, and they all nit pick every single thing. Nothing is perfect dam.
For $1900 it better be PERFECT!!!
I switched from iPhone I love this phone can't wait to play fantasy with it while at the same time looking up stats without having to go back and forth I ut of apps
you should compare photos and videos between fold6, fold5 and s24ultra, from what I saw, fold6 takes WORSE quality videos and photos than Fold5!
Not in my experience, seems like you don't like this phone and that's fine. It's definitely better than the 5
only people that dont have the fold 6 said and believe that for feels better for himself lol lol@@Techandcloth
iPhones doctor their photos. These are more raw so you're probably not used to seeing a photo without edits
At the moment I do not think foldables can be durable.
$1900 and they couldn’t use the same cameras as the 24 ultra. Crazy. 9:29
Vivo and the Honor magic v3 look good but samsung fold 6 I think it's nice I've still got fold 4 . 6 was my upgrade. Sadly I didn't get free ear buds or a case. Like I did with the fold 4. Getting my free gift as in the projector was impossible. In the end I totally gave up.
Every time I see the day of the week half written in the video it bothers me alot lol. I would change that to something else right away. Otherwise I really enjoyed this video. I have an S24 ultra and tab s9 ultra. I think I prefer this than a tab/phone. Thanks for the review!
Good honest review
I hate mid-air reviews. I pay 4 premium for a reason.
Samsung has fallen behind their competitors like Honor, Vivo etc.
this review is on the dot, I would add that I do use the AI a lot , it helps me with work, also it makes things easier, so I add a couple of points to that
They really needed to just not have a the inner display camera
✨ Galaxy AI is Crap (except circle to search) but the star is for your constructive reviews.
PS. The Anti reflective/glare screen protector from Samsung for the outer screen us much much better in the Z Fold 6 than the S24 Ultra version, that one had sharp edges but this is great even against finger print smudges.
I haven’t used any Samsung brand screen protectors. - I use Spigen tempered glass, but I was talking about the actual anti reflective display (Fold 6 doesn’t have one). Maybe I should try the protector out. Shame the inner display has no anti reflective qualities though
@@valismind Totally understand what you’re saying and I do wish Samsung made the same screen protector option at least for the inner display (since they didn’t make the actual screen like the S24 Ultra). But you should give the Samsung Anti-Glare outside screen protector a shot. It’s not pricy and I haven’t had a reason to remove it yet (although I have plenty of Glass and Matte screen protectors waiting to be applied) lol
@@MajicSho Why do you think that ? Actually Samsung did invest More Money than any Other company especially also in the foldable market
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
