Samsung better hit it hard in 2025 otherwise this company will be in trouble. And Samsung will have to give consumers what they ask for. Competition is fiercer than ever and Samsung has no interest in seeing itself as too beautiful and too big.
They are not in trouble. The flagship phones are just a fraction of their income. But I agree that they should get their act together and not just release the fold4 for the 3rd year in a row.
I remember MKBHD saying Samsung would never make the regular Z fold wider to a normal smartphone width, and that it rather make a whole new foldable, and that was a bet BTW. Bang on the money
Why do people believe that these youtubers know what a big company like Samsung would do, Samsung ever so often does things that surprises the world.they are so innovative and a trendsetter when it comes to design.
Sometimes, when you have a large voice in the community, it's a must to say something triggering to go in our favor to a company to say, "Oh yeah? We would never? Okay, watch this. Here you go, the z fold SE, lol. It obviously made them try! Close mouths don't get fed.
Agreed, but 45-50w superfast is more in line with what Samsung will incorporate... Ir-blaster was a game changer... Deff wanna full spen support and integration one day... for use artists out here.
@metv1221 yeh man...they removed the IR blaster in S7 onwards as they wanted to promote their smart things app i believe... Other folding phones have IR blaster and its the most underrated amazing feature on a phone ! I dont know why reviewers dont talk about this ever....
@@potatochalbro Do you mean that it did exist in Samsung phone before?😅 As I know this feature could only be found in almost all Chinese brands (Huawei, Honor, Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi ) phones😀
You know i dont mind not having the s pen integrated if it means i can have a larger s pen and there are cases available to carry the s pen... the integrated s pen on the S 24 ultra is tiny...
If not a bigger battery, at least 45-50w superfast and 25w wireless fast charging. The spen should be integrated at this point. I rather have the thinner ZFold6 I have now to fit cameras and spen, just make it as wide as the ZF6ix SE. Imo.
Great video. I'm a fan of the narrow screen on the 6. I love my 6. If they offer 2 sizes next year the only downside I see is the non ultra will get shafted with lesser specs. Although the size of the special edition doesn't seem to drastic at least if they go with that size for the 7 I will be okay with it. Will see in 9 months time. Can't wait.
The size isn't drastically bigger in the hand, but the Fold 6 has a nice comfort about it. The smaller one would likely be like the base model S series devices with their specs.
@techwithbenefits yes! Nailed it! This current 6 size hits the comfort spot. Can you not say the same with the SE? I'm hoping that size would still be in the comfort zone.
I have to say - that the design of that Z Fold SE looks pretty insane. If they’ve managed to get rid of that crease entirely, that is nothing short of amazing…
I love how he said " I'm not going to say Samsung hasn't been innovating"... They released the same phone for like the past 3 years. Across their entire portfolio. Not just foldables
good review. im still playing w mine i got it... for under $300 ; ) and yes it's an older used model. ive recently discovered the zoom feature so my mini-binoculars now got a replacement : )
The Special Edition does look great. But I really love my Z Fold 6 as it is. I've gotten used to the form factor and the cover display and it doesn't bother me at all. Only the telephoto lens and the battery needs an upgrade in my opinion. You're right about Mike from Average Dad BTW. Bought my Vivo X200 Pro from his store, incredibly fast shipping and the contact with Mike was great, he's a great guy.
There's supposed to be another tri-fold called the Tecno from Shenzhen called the Fold 2 Ultimate. The Fold 2 looks doable but the target market is Asia and Aftrica. The price is almost the same as the Samsung Fold 6
If you still think its compact i trust it's a good size. But like others said, it needs spen support and personally i dont like the camera cutout and bigger bezels. That camera just needs to go away rather than detract from the main appeal of the device.
Hate to be negative, but I got a Z Fold because slab phones were getting too wide. I love the form factor of the ZF5/ZF6 + the spen. The SE looks like a parts bin prototype. If they can offer 2 Folds (normal and wide), then I think they will be successful but they'll have to improve the battery on the bigger unit.
I have to check it in person but based on how it looks like, it is a no-go for me and I would stick to the standard version. No S Pen and that huge ridiculous camera bump - no thanks. I hope Samsung keeps both sizes to satisfy all of us, so that everyone can enjoy its own preference. Thank you for the video.
Great video and informative! Appreciate the efforts. I intend to get the China version W25. Do you think the W25 will work with wear os watches such as the galaxy watch ultra?
The z fold S.E rear camera module looks ugly to me, no under display camera for a better uninterrupted viewing experience, the inner display front camera still isn't good, and no s pen support 😮💨. I don't feel like we're missing anything in the U.S. I do love the bigger displays, though 👍🏼.
Yes, This. I wonder if you can use a regular stylus on the SE...🤔 The Fold 6 doesn't support the S-pen on the cover screen, so I use a normal stylus for it.
Note 10 was a 19.5:9 aspect ratio from memory, so it would likely be a bit wider than this. But that was a perfect size! I don't have one unfortunately
i think it's interesting to mention the Samsung Z fold 6 has dropped down to £1000 BRAND NEW on ebay right now. that is a HUGE drop in value for a brand new phone
They should use better telephoto lens. Even some midrange phones from Motorola use better 3x telephoto lesn than this.... At least use the 50 MP 5x lens from S24 Ultra
they can do that, but then it would cost more. putting the main cam alone is already an upgrade, and Samsung likes to keep the 3x. all they need to do on the next one is increase the sensor size, mp of the 3x to save space. put the 200mp sensor like the ones on vivo and that should be it.
W 25 the black gold Chinese version is gorgeous. I hope samsung uses that design for the fold 7 and copies honor w stylus on both screens and bigger battery and 65 watt charging at least . Otherwise design wise far superior to the fold 5 and normal fold 6
yes I had the first fold so I know what you mean. I left Samsung after the 3 and went to vivo x fold, x fold plus and now x fold 3 pro. I got to get my hands now on the FOLD SE and compare it with my VIVO z fold 3 PRO
I’m not sure, but I still prefer the Z Fold6’s aspect ratio and external display. While the wider external screen is nice, the inner screen’s squarish aspect ratio feels awkward to me
I personally just want my ZFold6 to be as wide as the SE, not as tall... bringing the cameras... 45-50w superfast and 25w wireless fast charging. Dont need thinner if , lose spen support... Fingers crossed for spen integration one day!
@techwithbenefits note 10 6.3 has spen and as long as Spen is same thickness as usbc port it can fit SE can fit a spen easy? The cameras don't need all that extra width. Thanks for the feedback. And great video as usual. 👍🏽 👌
Thank you. You realized that this should be the Fold 6. Still, I would not buy the special edition because the Fold 7 or other Chinese foldables will come with much better specifications and lower prices.
Okay... £2.399 for the new Z fold... WOOOW.. That's a lot of money.. And, even tho I am not a fan of Samsung, idk why but I really want to test out the Z Fold... I mean, it look really nice on the video, but I'm corius how is it in reality? Is it worth to buy a used Z Fold 5/6 now just let's say for "Test"?? I am currently using the iPhone 16 Pro (No, I don't want to sell this phone)?
We'll get 5x zoom in Fold 8. Wait, I've seen this kind of small steps policy between generations somewhere before. Yes, in A.... tfu😁 I hope I'm wrong 😉
I would love this phone, I've no interest in the s pen so I would've been happy if this was released here ... but I cant justify 4.5K... Looks like I'll have to wait 😢
A nice box is nice and for the cost it could easy be there, but after so many phones and always try/change i this days just rips it open or use a knife to get phone out fast and in charger. :)
If they don't put Qualcomm back in the plus I'm going back to OnePlus. My s22 is getting a little lame in the battery department so it's almost time and I love Samsung cameras but for the price I need to get the best chip set
I really think if they made the Fold, the outside of S24U would be perfect because they can have a lot bigger battery, cameras, and intergrated S-Pen. I would really buy it and call it the Fold Ultra
I think there may have been some sort of internal conflict between the original design team and probably a new design team at Samsung. The Z Fold SE was probably released to see the markets reaction and put all arguments to rest. SE won! Expect Z Fold 7 to look similar to the SE with added improvements.
Early leaks confirm zFold7 to be same as zFold6. Even "AverageDad" said so. Samsung is just trolling. They still don't have the battery & charging technology that China has. This is stopping them from making thinner phone, which is why they took off the digitizer to narrow this phone.

Unless they start putting s-pens in these things, I'm not buying them. I already went through that separate pen nonsense with the S21 Ultra and I couldn't wait to ditch that when the S22U came along.
No disrespect, great video.. But a shorter accurate video would've been simple to state that for the price, if there's a better version of the phone than that should be the phone in mass production. I'm growing tired of Samsungs games. I'm glad I stayed with my 5, and I regret upgrading with every Fold before this (except 1 & 2). This version that's not available in the states is a slap in the face to loyals. Also, them senselessly and now constantly removing useful features is tired. I am however locked in on the fold form factor so I'd never thought I'd say this but if... 🍏.. 🤢🤮 makes a comparable fold I'm jumping out the window.. ✌🏽
@ actually keen to see if you have any band issues considering it’s an import. A lot of non native phones are having issues since the 3G network was turned off.
Nice but it has no s-pen support and such a beautiful display desperately needs one and for G*d sake, just put in a bigger battery. Users don't care how thin this is but we do care about a bigger battery with decent fast charging. I don't need a thin plate in my hands. Give me something substantial with battery life! Ps. Because I'm rather vain 🤗, eliminating the crease would go a long way too. I hate it to see the Fold 6 crease in daylight. It's the same crease my Fold 4 had 2 years earlier...
Got the fold 6 today and immediately called them to return it. I was going to trade my ultra 23 and $700. But after using fold 6 for 5 minutes it gave me zero excitement. Terrible front screen and unfolded, RUclips videos smaller on that screen than my ultra 23. Price they are selling it for is insane. I cant see myself cracking open phone all the time. It should be at most $300 to trade ultra 23 for it.
Who cares about the spen. Samsung most likely has statistics over how few uses the pen. Release this globally with an under display camera and larger battery capacity without making it thicker. And make the screen anti glare as the Ultra.
I prefer Z Fold6 7.6 the best size ever made, if I need tablet I will buy the ipad pro 11 inch Real Tablet. But anyway thank you so much for make this videos
If I had splashed out on a Fold 6 - and within weeks Samsung release this (albeit limited release) I would feel let down by Samsung as they should have delayed the release of the Fold 6 until this new addition was generally available. It looks like they have released the Fold 6 for the sake of it - because the real deal wasn't quite ready - and those who have paid out a fortune for it are now left holding an already a significantly depreciated product. Who would be mad enough to buy a Fold 6 now knowing that the next iteration is going to have THE form factor everyone wanted the Fold 6 to be? I hope Samsung will give all Fold 6 owners 100% trade in discount against the new iteration of the Fold - once that is available for general release.
Samsung doing this is basically spitting in our faces smh they have no shame. They can literally make this phone but choose not to in the US . And when they do release it its 3k in another country.
The only reason it is better is because it mimics the OnePlus Open in size, and closer to the best OnePlus crease. That's it. It still is a thick phone, but with less features because no stylus support at all. Add to that, the poor batter and slow charging, and same old cameras for telephoto and wide. The WORST thing is the camera hole, right in middle of screen, in the way. This phone is a epic fail compared to the OnePlus Open. Samsung will also fail with zFold7, because they plan to continue their narrow form factor, not this aspect ratio.
I am only a few minutes in the video and i am already disappointed twice: First not all of us want to give up the UDC and spen support. I could not care less about the packaging (honestly who does not have already a usb-c charger and i prefer to pick my own case ...but since this phone is not released globally, i would agree for once the case provided is probably for the best) Secondly : you give high praise to Average Dad but i did not think he was that good or honest. He dismisses honest comments on his website to primary sell his own stuff First in Europe i get much better prices from Samsung and much better support (2 years warranty)than i would get from importing from him..then better resale value ..so yes if you want to buy a chinese phone imported, Average dad store can be a solution but he s too quick to dismiss the 2 years support we get Finally you forget to mention the 200mpxl sensor is a nice improvement but the other cameras have not improved. Samsung Pay probably wont work on you Korean phone... I am happy to stick with the Fold 6 regular edition..yes i would have liked it a little bit wider and thinner but i dont think ...the price difference probably over a 1500 euros (since fold 6 is around 1100 euros and much less with deals ) is worth it
Hardwarewise the Honor is "unbeatable" for now. But... The software on that device. 😮😮😮 Even Fisher-price toys have a better UI! Honor has to step up their UI.
Samsung better hit it hard in 2025 otherwise this company will be in trouble. And Samsung will have to give consumers what they ask for. Competition is fiercer than ever and Samsung has no interest in seeing itself as too beautiful and too big.

FINALLY
Hopefully the 7 is like the SE
(Of course S Pen will be added back in)
The reason the SE is thinner is because they omitted the digitizer layer that must exist for the S Pen.
There are no headphones or a S-Pen. So your not really getting everything but it's definitely better than what they've been doing

The video is over 11 minutes long so your math is way off
Unless they start putting s-pens in these things, I'm not buying them. I already went through that separate pen nonsense with the S21 Ultra and I couldn't wait to ditch that when the S22U came along.
No disrespect, great video.. But a shorter accurate video would've been simple to state that for the price, if there's a better version of the phone than that should be the phone in mass production. I'm growing tired of Samsungs games. I'm glad I stayed with my 5, and I regret upgrading with every Fold before this (except 1 & 2). This version that's not available in the states is a slap in the face to loyals. Also, them senselessly and now constantly removing useful features is tired. I am however locked in on the fold form factor so I'd never thought I'd say this but if... 🍏.. 🤢🤮 makes a comparable fold I'm jumping out the window.. ✌🏽
They still have issues with the foldable scree
No 5x 10x optical zoom. It's a no-go. 😂👎
No pen no spend.
Damn, I wish this was here because it’s sort of sold me
You can get it! From the link in the description.
But I do wish it was native here, absolutely.
@ actually keen to see if you have any band issues considering it’s an import. A lot of non native phones are having issues since the 3G network was turned off.
@hudsonkennan yeah my Note FE got messages saying it wasn't going to work. It's because it didn't have VoLTE. Thankfully this does lol
Nice but it has no s-pen support and such a beautiful display desperately needs one and for G*d sake, just put in a bigger battery. Users don't care how thin this is but we do care about a bigger battery with decent fast charging. I don't need a thin plate in my hands. Give me something substantial with battery life! Ps. Because I'm rather vain 🤗, eliminating the crease would go a long way too. I hate it to see the Fold 6 crease in daylight. It's the same crease my Fold 4 had 2 years earlier...
Got the fold 6 today and immediately called them to return it. I was going to trade my ultra 23 and $700. But after using fold 6 for 5 minutes it gave me zero excitement.
Terrible front screen and unfolded, RUclips videos smaller on that screen than my ultra 23.
Price they are selling it for is insane.
I cant see myself cracking open phone all the time.
It should be at most $300 to trade ultra 23 for it.
Who cares about the spen. Samsung most likely has statistics over how few uses the pen. Release this globally with an under display camera and larger battery capacity without making it thicker. And make the screen anti glare as the Ultra.
Samsung should have done this in fold 4. Then upgraded it's camera like in vivo 200 or Oppo x8 pro.😅
Samsung one year behind 😮yep
Samsung is trolling with this phone😂they put a charger in the box😂😂😂 wtf
Samsung will never offer this form factor. Zfold7 stated to be same as zFold6.
The se is great but takeover the foldable market they should do more for the 7. Give us that anti reflective display please at least
Anti reflective coating is a must!
I prefer Z Fold6 7.6 the best size ever made, if I need tablet I will buy the ipad pro 11 inch Real Tablet. But anyway thank you so much for make this videos
If I had splashed out on a Fold 6 - and within weeks Samsung release this (albeit limited release) I would feel let down by Samsung as they should have delayed the release of the Fold 6 until this new addition was generally available. It looks like they have released the Fold 6 for the sake of it - because the real deal wasn't quite ready - and those who have paid out a fortune for it are now left holding an already a significantly depreciated product. Who would be mad enough to buy a Fold 6 now knowing that the next iteration is going to have THE form factor everyone wanted the Fold 6 to be? I hope Samsung will give all Fold 6 owners 100% trade in discount against the new iteration of the Fold - once that is available for general release.
I totally agree with you! Shamesung!!
Samsung doing this is basically spitting in our faces smh they have no shame. They can literally make this phone but choose not to in the US . And when they do release it its 3k in another country.
can i draw with some pen?
Unfortunately not 😔
Such a shocking thing to say! "This should have been fold 6"...😅
Better but still no, I want 5k+ battery, faster charging, s pen support on front screen and slotted
The only reason it is better is because it mimics the OnePlus Open in size, and closer to the best OnePlus crease. That's it. It still is a thick phone, but with less features because no stylus support at all. Add to that, the poor batter and slow charging, and same old cameras for telephoto and wide. The WORST thing is the camera hole, right in middle of screen, in the way. This phone is a epic fail compared to the OnePlus Open. Samsung will also fail with zFold7, because they plan to continue their narrow form factor, not this aspect ratio.
I am only a few minutes in the video and i am already disappointed twice:
First not all of us want to give up the UDC and spen support.
I could not care less about the packaging (honestly who does not have already a usb-c charger and i prefer to pick my own case ...but since this phone is not released globally, i would agree for once the case provided is probably for the best)
Secondly : you give high praise to
Average Dad but i did not think he was that good or honest.
He dismisses honest comments on his website to primary sell his own stuff
First in Europe i get much better prices from Samsung and much better support (2 years warranty)than i would get from importing from him..then better resale value ..so yes if you want to buy a chinese phone imported, Average dad store can be a solution but he s too quick to dismiss the 2 years support we get
Finally you forget to mention the 200mpxl sensor is a nice improvement but the other cameras have not improved.
Samsung Pay probably wont work on you Korean phone...
I am happy to stick with the Fold 6 regular edition..yes i would have liked it a little bit wider and thinner but i dont think ...the price difference probably over a 1500 euros (since fold 6 is around 1100 euros and much less with deals ) is worth it
The OnePlus Open 2 is the answer.
I just subscribed
Thanks!
This should be Fold 5
You look like the young Steve Jobs
Love my Fold 6 but I get a little angry at the video
Honor magic v3 half the price.....pen support......no comparison
Hardwarewise the Honor is "unbeatable" for now. But... The software on that device. 😮😮😮 Even Fisher-price toys have a better UI! Honor has to step up their UI.
I'm sorry but who in the hell cares about the "boxing", its about the phone that counts.😨
Well "this" will be the Z Fold 7other than a few details , so all is good
No spen, no sd card slot. Naur thanks.
It is overpriced though!
