I've heard Samsung and other tech companies have these limited edition, high profile units to sell to upper class Koreans. This seems to be a showcase of exactly that.
@gorgonismztruth1551 Apple is definitely fishing....trying to catch all the fish possible. Basically using the same baiting tactics. The real product of great marketing. Tim is smiling right now.
@@carltonpeak9240 Apple is playing the game of knowing they dont have to do much at all .... As long as folks keep buying their over priced BS they will stagnate .... I stopped buying new iphones after iphone 8
That was not the initial reason it was just to test market response with a design alot of competitors have, but the overwhelming demand means all Q3'25 foldables will be reworked
The thing with Apple is they tend to research technology and mature it before officially introducing it to their products. Samsung and by extension Android have so many phones they can afford to experiment with different gimmicks because well, if one doesn’t work they just discontinue it. Can apple offer more diversity across devices? Of course, but then it would take away from developing their flagship devices. Not fan boying for Apple, just stating a marketing fact.
well, it seems here $2000 is no longer top dollar, $3100 is 🤣 if the average person interested in foldables were willing to pay that much two years ago on pretty recent folding technology i'm sure samsung would've made a full spec folding phone, but it's really going to cost so much only a handful of people would buy it, making it less profitable to even set up manufacturing in the US or other countries outside of South Korea
Only the main camera was improved. It also still has the smallest battery in any Fold. Also, comparing the crease when it hasn't even been used and broken in yet is beyond misleading and pointless.
2:16 Lew it’s because you have used the old phone many times and haven’t folded the new one at all. No wonder you won’t see the crease much yet 🙄 that crease will show more and more in time
Yea, when my f3 was new the crease was about that invisible aswell. You just forget that with use. Same with the snappyness. My f3 would initially not even close without force beyond that of the integrated magnets.

Samsung needs two versions of the fold. An ultra version with a more traditional front screen ratio and a regular fold 6 size screen for those like me who chose the fold over ultra series phones SPECIFICALLY because of the one-handed use.
From the leaks that have come out, this will basically be the design of the Fold 7. Im on my Fold 4, and I'm still waiting for the 7. If this is the design with better cameras and the Sanpdragon Elite, I'll be buying it on day 1.
Fun fact, you are the first ones to call it FOLD 6 Special Edition. As far as I know, it is not Fold 6 Special Edition. It is called only FOLD SPECIAL EDITION. Korea only market. Not gonna be global release, and by rumors not gonna be FOLD 7 neither. Regular Fold line will 99% continue the narrow style display.
If this released in Canada, I would have bought it. Design they finally caught up to the chinese foldables, and the camera is finally not a downgrade from the ultras, which is important because my cats are very cute. I was going to buy a S25 ultra this year, but now I think ill hold out for the fold7 and hope they dont drop the ball
The SE chassis is exactly what we wanted for the fold 6, but we now need the 7 or 8 to have that chassis and Spen on cover and inner screen. I love my fold 6. First fold. Fully worth it. Also best phone for trips, family what's app video and searching for houses/apartments
Sir Would request you to hold the "What smartphones do tech reviewers use" from next year just like you did in 2018. Or at least by different reviewers each year
As a big music person, I guess I'll sacrifice the bigger size of the SE if it means better audio quality on the 6. Nobody asked for thinner and thinner if it means you can't FIT better and better inside.
It is NOT "currently" available in South Korea. It was available for pre order for about 10 minutes. Supposedly it will be available in the US as a fold 7 in 2025.
They already said they aren't releasing another se version it was a product to test what users actually wanted. But the 7 series are going to be headed that direction with a new pen technology
The topic is a corporate war. When Huawei announced the dual-hinge Fold, Samsung felt that the rug might be pulled out from under it. It moved and showed the Fold Special Edition. It has a solution to all the problems, but because it does not see a threat to its sales,They are slow in their improvements, but as soon as they are threatened, their products will improve.
Not legitimizing the special edition's price but if it has 1 tb or more storage that's 400-500$ there comparing to other phone brands. Also screen size is similar to iphone pro vs pro max difference so there goes extra 200$.
i find it weird the first thing you mentioned is the crease, if you think about it. Is this not normal that the crease is less visible since it has not been used yet enough to get the crease? can you elaborate, im not that familiar on the crease during usage after months. Or on the normale edition the crease is it already like that out of the box Perhaps compared to the SE?
@ ohhh Interesting i thought the normale one was one that has been used for a long time already! So it felt like having a crease after a few months is normal. But if it is like that then thats indeed very interesting how they dealt with the crease i understand the enthusiasm!
Watching on my SE. Samsung did us dirty. I bought the Fold 6 and sold it to import the SE 🤷🏾♂️. Very happy with my inconvenient purchase lol... thing is epic! So much thinner than the 6, most ppl can't even tell it's a fold.
I love my Z-Fold 4, and yes, I still have a 4 because I'm not willing to pay $2,000 for a phone, let alone $3,000, that would be a deal breaker for me. Another deal breaker, no S-Pen. I actually use the pen and always looking for more ways to use it. I mean Samsung has a good product here, there aren't too many ways to improve on it, just as other manufacturers are having having trouble improving on theirs. I don't see that much of an upgrade with the SE to warrant an additional $1,000+ on the price tag.
Sooo, I assume they finally solved their crease problem with this SE and they are ready to put that in their next folds starting with 7 , right? Hopefully
The stylus is an extremely needed thing on a fold phone, especially the high end ones, I’ll never ever consider a foldable phone without a stylus support
Pretty much every single folding phone I've seen will have a crease with use. Out of the box means nothing. Use that phone for a year and show it after being used. While it's getting better, still not there. Regardless the competition is what is driving these to improve faster. Love it. Now I wish they'd do the same with EVs lol.
Wait, what? Why was the FedEx box inside the Korean box? From my knowledge USPS is the only one that can recieve int'l shipping. Well, I mean, they usually get a 3rd party (usually DHL) to bring it to the post office, then the post office distributes it. Maybe I'm wrong

I thought exactly the same!
IKR??? was gonna say the same
I thought the same thing maan !!
I'm fully here for it!
me too ❤ that's vibe so cool 😎
Now if they can just somehow include the Ultra's S-Pen functionality & its housing as well, then this'd be their GOAT handheld product.
💯
And the same camera setup as in the ultra, otherwise no reason for me to switch
I just want to play with the pens lol. I like having something to fidget with

Na why's we want a apple folding phone it wouldn't do anything 😅 can't even multitask @@gorgonismztruth1551
$3100 dollars for this? No wonder why they didn't release it in the US
It was imported so it's not really the actual pricing. The price of this in South Korea was about 2.8M KRW which is about 2000 USD.
This is a bit bleeding edge... it's like a preview what the normal folds will be in 2 or 3 years.
@QuantumConundrum So it's a beta test?
@@QuantumConundrum Or todays fold from actually good brands like OnePlus. OnePlus open is still the best broadly available foldable phone.

Right... that was a kiss ass. My flip 5 didn't have a crease until I used it 😂😂
Absolutely, you can see it in the videos the crease appears after closing the lid 😂so its the same thing.
@@gregoryburkhead7813 ...are you joking? The crese is obviously always there from the moment it's manufactured. It's doesn't crease from folding it.

Yes remember note 7 debacle that blew up. Samsung thinks 7 is unlucky so they tested smaller batch first

Meanwhile, Apple in 5 years:
Introducing the I-Fold pro. The best folding phone yet 😂
yea but still would coz more media stir ... coz you know ... its Apple
They won’t make a folding phone because they’re plastic junk and the quality is half that of a normal phone. When it gets better they may
I doubt apple will make it. I've used the inner screen, it feels cheap

@@johnnynunez1843 Nah, that's true.
Apple R&D much more than people are aware of.
About time they put the Ultra cameras into the Fold. When one pays top dollar for a phone, one expects the best the manufacturer has to offer.
I never understood the grievous lack of good cameras all the time on the "top" phone. And I don't even mean about periscope one.
well, it seems here $2000 is no longer top dollar, $3100 is 🤣 if the average person interested in foldables were willing to pay that much two years ago on pretty recent folding technology i'm sure samsung would've made a full spec folding phone, but it's really going to cost so much only a handful of people would buy it, making it less profitable to even set up manufacturing in the US or other countries outside of South Korea

💯 I have never even come close to dropping my Fold 3, 4 and now 6 because they are easy to hold in the hand.

Damn! really hope we get these upgrades on the Fold 7. Especially the larger displays!
The world should thank those at Huawei and Honor who raised the bar and now everyone is pushing hard to make much better phones.
Maybe it's thinner because of the missing pen input components? just guessing. I agree they need the Ultra cameras in the Folds.
They can't though the s series will always be better due to foldable limitations
Apple:
Buy 2 super-duper iphones, slide them together and they automatically produce one super-duper large picture!!!!
The SE chassis is exactly what we wanted for the fold 6, but we now need the 7 or 8 to have that chassis and Spen on cover and inner screen. I love my fold 6. First fold. Fully worth it. Also best phone for trips, family what's app video and searching for houses/apartments
The reason you don't get spen or hidden display and the crease is diminished is they are simplifying the screen
For 3k you can build a pretty solid PC
Try carrying that in your pocket
@1:52 DJ Lew in the house!
I use that internal camera only for meetings and it is good enough. PS: I need the pen

i like how Samsung has a complete opposite understanding of "special edition" to apple haha
Samsung really said, 'Why settle for one screen when you can fold your way to greatness?'
Totally agree about the in screen front facing camera, there is no point. They could easily put the SD card back in that area.
I love the under display cam. I hope Samsung preserves it in the Fold 7.
It will become the 7 for sure.
Very happy with the s24 ultra as my first true foray into android flagships. Good to see the Z Fold may follow suit with specs.
The one channel that can pop up 3 times a year & get praised.
It is NOT "currently" available in South Korea. It was available for pre order for about 10 minutes. Supposedly it will be available in the US as a fold 7 in 2025.

This special edition looks luxurious, I liked it right away, just the price
OFC has a phone, that was never folded, no crease wtf. 2:20. Like new shoes, they come creaseless from the factory
The standard fold was also brand new i think. Its fresh out the box
