@@marshalljackson3461 You got an update/review for us? You're right under the second to top comment, so I'm sure new viewers looking for opinions would be interested
Will this replace your iPad Mini? A couple of benefits it has over the mini is that you get android auto with it. You can also connect your sound to your car speaker system instead of having to use a bluetooth speaker. Its also faster than the iPad Mini with better hardware specs.
No. Not faster. Also the mini has a bigger battery and better speakers, better selfie cam, cheaper, and a bigger screen. And no crease. I really like the fold, but I ain’t gonna pretend here. I guess it’s got cell service so that counts.
I think it's way better than the mini although it's also three times as expensive. But I would take a Galaxy tab over the mini because you can use revanced and new pipe and open source apps and you're not limited to the proprietary app store and it has proper external monitor desktop mode that's way better than stage manager
@@nexxus_8487it's definitely faster. The iPad mini is using a chip that's 3 years old and this is using the 8 Gen 4. That point though it's not going to be noticeable. Problem with iPad though is you can't download revanced or new pipe or f Droid or any app you want. Could you imagine not being able to download a browser without extensions? No ublock origin. I personally don't use a foldable but even a Galaxy tab gives you way better external monitor support at a file manager and access to any app you want As long as iPad limits stuff to the app store it's kind of just a glorified toy.
Just got notification my phone is ready for pick up. Just watching a couple more reviews while awaiting notification for watch ultra to be ready as well. I'm nervous as this is my first fold and I'm afraid once I get used to it I won't be able to tolerate a normal "normal" screen device again. 😫
I 100% don't want to go back to standard phones. A folding phone to me is a great piece of tech. Unfortunately I feel Samsung have slept on it the last 2 years with very incremental hardware upgrades. The far east folding phones being so much slimmer and with better batteries and cameras are really a step above the fold 6 for me. Certainly from my fold 4, I can't see a reason to upgrade other than the known hardware longevity issues.
@@AlwaysHungry. IDK what you mean, samsung re-sizes apps really well. Instagram is way better on a foldable, for instance. same with Excel, Outlook, and maps
I looked at Best Buy for a little while. After using an iPhone, I would say that the front screen is small and takes some getting used to, but the large screen is good for watching content. Is it really worth the 1.9k price tag? I do not think so.
I’ve owned an iPhone since iPhone 4. Yesterday I went to Best Buy and saw this phone. As soon as I held it in my hand it felt premium and special it nearly converted me that instance. So I opened it and watched a scene from Dune 2 that I’m familiar with. The picture quality was not to par with iPhone. And the fold down the middle is so visible that it made the phone look cheap. If Samsung can over come both these two things I would be sold on this.
if you work construction as a foreman, get this! I have pics of blueprints that I use the slim pen on and make "as builts" on the fly... great phone for everyone getting older in the trades!
I'm in the trades and was thinking of getting it. Looks great for drawings and code books. The only thing I'm worried about is a proper case for a job site.

I can get though most of the day with normal use as a phone while at work (WhatsApp, emails, pictures, browsing the web) and then opened up when home after work to watch videos, read and play games and it gets me from 6am-7pmish on one charge. Really not had at all

I was on board until I found out there was no s pen I love the Samsung product always have but I can't justify paying more for less and I still use the 23 ultra
I pre-ordered my device my z-fold six in navy blue. Although the device has a lot of bells and whistles in its favor Samsung still has to work real hard because the Huawei mate XT is about to release and that phone blows any foldable out of the water and makes it look outdated. Other than that. I love my device. I have enjoyed all the AI features it offers and everything that Samsung has brought to the table and the way they designed it with the sharp Corners mimicking. The s24 ultra is the best design they could have done and to correct you the OnePlus open does have pen support. You just got to buy the Oppo pen and it will work with the device. The z-fold six is not the only device here in the United States that uses a pen or has pen support.
I got mine 512 gb pink z fold 6 and I love it so much i never regret buying it! It's a phone and tab in one. I wonder what Iphone has to offer. But I'm never an Iphone user that's why I still chose to buy android. I don't want to make my life complicated.
I think the two best colours are the navy blue and the white varian both are fresh I'm disappointed with the black I usually go black case but hate that carbon fibre look to it my z fold 6 comes get delivered today I've gone for white colour
I had planned on buying the Z Fold 6 but after opting for the OnePlus Open after having all Z Folds through 5 including 2 Fold 5's, for the larger front (more normal phone sized screen when closed) but, after comparing my OnePlus Open to the new Z Fold 6 at a local Best Buy, and seeing the actual size in differences not only with the front screen but also, the open screens. I am holding off this time around as my OnePlus Open is what most of us loyal Samsung customers let alone Z Fold customers have been hoping for in regard to screen size on the phone when closed without having to be hogtied to always opening the phone just to send a text or email etc..

@@brendanfogel4573 I got the phone and love the form factor of the narrow screen. Hate the cameras tho. Really wish they put the Ultra camera module on this phone!
I ended up getting a s24 Ultra after having the Fold 5 and then 6. Honestly apart from the folding screen it's a downgrade in too many areas for my liking.
Yall keep complaining, but when they make it bigger and you can't hold your phone then you're gonna be right back on somebody else's video complaining about that. Not to mention what the price it would be.
@@jakegray5444but its actually a valid point, typing on this screen is difficult compared to oneplus open. Why pay more for a worse phone? Oneplus open is better in hardware on almost all fronts

Nah....I'll pass on this one....Hoping samsung make a much better device for the 7......1900 quid for weak charging, crappy crease and only slightly larger outer screen........joke.
literally. I went to compare my Open to the Fold6 and it was a no-brainer. Keep the Open. I would be downgrading if I got the 6. I can't believe they didn't put glare reduction on it like the S24U. It makes a HUGE difference in direct sunlight with my Open, the sun is dark purple instead of white in the reflection. I compared the brightness of OPO and ZF6 and they were identical, aside from ZF6 having more glare.
@@TGMisKillingTheMiddleClass its a shame really, I went to try the typing on fold 6 and it was shit. Coming from iphone 14 pro, it was so clamped and narrow. It would be very cumbersome to have to open the phone for every text message or email. On the other hand, fold 6 ultra is maybe in the make which could have this issue addressed. Either way theres more differences with oneplus open, such as charge speed.
@@kobesaa Yeah I had a fold3 since launch and I was using it opened most of the time. with my OPO I use the cover screen a lot. It feels like they are both equally the "main" screen whereas the samsung has a main and secondary.
Nope, this phone are failure product. Because i you watch youtube, the blackbar make you only watch in one screen normal phone, not like Huawei mate XT. I better use iPad and iPhone, then buy Fold 6. Inside screen are smooth screen not comfortable for touch the screen not like outside screen quality.
I'm sure that affiliate link money has nothing to do with you suggesting this mediocre, over-priced phone? surely not. China is controlling the market, and it's samsung's own fault.

Amoled and higher nits brightness.
Fold 6 is a well balanced. Can be better, especially on cameras? Yes but you are looking for a first foldable this is more than adequate
I didn’t like this blue… was kind of disappointed. Of course, that’s all just taste. I’m pretty happy with the silver, though.
The best overall foldable, without being the best in any category except for Software support.

Amazing how they totally ignore people's biggest complaint that stupid narrow outwr screen.
Because some have no issue. Just because you have an issue doesn't mean you speak on behalf of everyone
How is that an issue? Better aspect ratio when folded up. Better one hand usability when unfolded. When you want a normal large phone get one.
I’m thinking of switching over to the Z Fold and that narrow outer screen is a pro for me. If it has the cameras of the ultra it’d be a no brainer
