As a loyal Samsung galaxy Fold user, I’m I’m pretty ticked off they pulled this off. WTF!!! Why not give us all this phone. I’m wish I wouldn’t have purchased the Z Fold 6. They really gave us the middle finger.
Wait till you find out how much the Chinese pays to buy a Tesla model Y, or a Volkswagen ID4 😂 in a free Market economy, there are no monopolies or duopolies, thus customer has lots of choices and it keeps the prices low too
I don't know why Samsung didn't release the SE with the Z Fold 6, but I'd predict it was a strategy, they needed to be sure the fan base didn't try out the SE because their stock wouldn't have gone, though the SE doesn't have an S-Pen support.
Bought the US fold 6 and just returned it lol. Definitely the nicest version of the fold yet but after purchasing the Honor Magic V3 from you for my wife, she liked it so much that she then bought one for me 😂. (Also from you btw). Love your communication and super fast shipping!!!! There really is no comparison between the fold 6 and the HM V3! Honor has the superior phone, easily!
Hey. I was thinking about biting the bullet on the v3 after being with samsung for 10 years but worried about the negative reviews on the software. How does it compare?
@nigeljamalbrink hi! Honestly there really isn't any contest. It's a superior product in basically all area's. I've been a Samsung chap for over a decade and was really contemplating keeping the fold 6 but after getting my wife's V3 and putting them side by side, hands down - the V3 crushes the fold 6! It may take just a smidge longer to get set up due to the different UI but nothing crazy! Just use Google for for your backup and all good :) Hope this helps!
Hey AD received my Fold SE a couple of days ago in the US and on T Mobile network having issues getting all the 5G bands on TM and I know there is a way to enable in the phone but can't seem to make it work. Can you help??? Thanks!!!
Hi this is great information. I currently have a fold 4 but I feel buying and not having the support directly from Samsung, and considering that I usually crack the screen after a year and getting that repair will also be costly, it might be best to leave this model or wait until Samsung officially releases it in the UK
Thanks for the review. I hope the Fold 7, when it comes out, will be the same size as the Galaxy Fold SE with S Pen support. I just can't stand using the front of the 6. Even though they widened it, it is still too narrow.
I have the Fold 6, and I am perfectly happy with it. I am not interested in the Fold SE, I think that Samsung wasust trying out the prototype in China to see if they can compete against the Chinese brands
No s pen support, no under display camera and still has a sub par front camera, $3,000, and a three to four week wait period, definitely not for me. I'll stick with my current z fold. Good video 👍🏼.
I purchased the Z fold6 for $1000, no trade-in. Is this $2000 more phone? I don't think so. I think I'll just buy another foldable if I get the urge, I'll have two phones for the price of this one.
How long have you had it? I just ordered a obsidian Pixel 9 Pro Fold, waiting on it to arrive. I've been using the Z Fold 6 since it came out, but I just want to try the different aspect ratio of the 9 Pro Fold.
Hey average dad i love your videos I want to donate to you on buy me a coffe i just have one question is it just a one-time payment or is it going to charge me every month
The reason why the Z Fold 6 SE has no S-Pen is because it doesn't work as well on a Folding Screen v a Flat one. Also to make things worse it's said the way Samsung made improvments to the problem of a central crease was to make the Screen material thinner in the middle, presumably that makes it spread flatter when opened. In turn that could make the use of a pointed instrument being pushed across the Screen problematic. My guess is they (Samsung) just didn't want the aggro so they left it out...probably just as well.
No stylus support. Stupid. I've moved on from Samsung. Now I'm a happy Honor Magic V3 user. It's light, thin and a good form factor. It supports stylus too both on outside and inside screens.
I'll probably get hate for this, but here it goes... Samsung's S24 Ultra will stand as the last, & best phone before Samsung slowly but surely warped into Apple. It seems as if with every new phone or accessory, Samsung is looking more & more like Apple than, well.. Samsung.
No, I'm not going to buy the Z Fold SE. I'm going to wait and see what the Z Fold 7 is, and if they offer some other global variant of the SE, that doesn't need to be imported.
I love my fold 6 is better it has s pen support and has narrow screen i don't need it to replace my other candy bar phones like my 11 pro max I don't want it to do that it my lil tablet phone takes amazing pictures i don't need it to compare to z fold special edition to me it's better then it and cheaper more reliable if I break it I go to best buy this one I be screwed for replace it so no it not better
Why did u buy this ? Terrible samsung product just get the pixel Samsung failed with this weird device No S Pen thats samsungs trade mark naw ill head back to Iphone now or S24 ultra

Good luck on youtube mate have a Coffee on me.... If ever in Australia or the USA let me know so i can get you that coffee and we can talk real Tech
Love this honest review, thanks again Average Dad 😊😊
I have a fold 6 and will upgrade to the 7 even though the screens are only bigger by 1/2 inch. Bigger is better.

I thought about it similarly... I'm saying if we get such a similar phone as Fold 7, samsung was wary and wanted to do a test
You are getting better and better with these reviews, great job Dad
Thank you
This could have been the perfect 2024 phone, but battery and price are complete deal breakers for me. $3,000 WTF?!?!
I agree
It's actually 2000 but it's only available in South Korea and China. People buy the phone and sell it at a higher price and make u pay for shipping
Everybody agrees
Just wait for the vivo x fold 4 bro
Just ordered a Z fold 6 today so excited to see the changes on the SE. Too bad I couldn't order that one in the states.

It should have been getting the note treatment and stuffed with the best tech for the best experience.

Mike, As usual love your HONEST reviews. Thank you for this one as well. You have a life long supporter here.

I appreciate that!
I could never fancy a folding phone personally, but watching. ❤😊
I have the Tab S8 plus, Galaxy Watch Ultra, Z Fold 3 and my Pixel Fold which is my favorite phone.
Appreciate your honesty as that is most important! Thank you !
Always!
Great review video, you have always peaked my interest with good lock as I've never used it
Thanks 👍
If ya thinking 🤔 get one, hold off and see whats features will be on the fold7 in July 2025. It may include the pen support as well as bigger screen
Is the front screen as wide as the Google 9 Pro Fold?...
Any news on the oneplus 13 oxygen flash
Am thinking of buying this from you on your website.
Dose this work on all the EE bands in the UK ?
Yes

2:17 Not implementing Under-Screen-Camera is a deal brake on buying this models. I hope that this is not the way forward.
Just bought the zfold 6 for black friday even tho i have oneplus open
??? Why?
Does esim available?
If you allow 0.5 point increments, you are really scoring out of 10. Give either full numbers or change to 10...
How do you buy one?
Btw, it doesn't have the same main camera as the S24 Ultra. It's a smaller 1/1.4" sensor
Really? I thought it was the same main camera as the s24u.
No s pen support, no under display camera and still has a sub par front camera, $3,000, and a three to four week wait period, definitely not for me. I'll stick with my current z fold. Good video 👍🏼.

I love my pixel 9 pro fold as well...
@@Super-c00n ive got it now about a week
Yeah, but it's fugly.
@@jimmcnevin9367 i dont think so
Waiting for the oneplus open 2, hopefully very early 2025.
Or vivo x fold 4😊
I am as well. Next One Plus Open 2 or the next Vivo X Fold 4 Pro
Everybody is waiting for the Open 2.
What, no stylus? No way! That is a deal breaker for all the true Note fans
Samsung should step up it's camera or there valued customers like me will leave, and go to Oppo. I'm impressed with Oppo x8 right now.
Samsung is finished...time to move on...Hello OPPO 😊
Hopefully they will bring down the price.
Does good lock work on this phone?
No, only good luck because they do break often.
Thank you @@snoepox1257

Love hearing you say any z fold 6 owner should be ticked off lol.
Would Mike be victorious in and a headbutting competition with Flossy Carter?
100%
This is what the Z fold 6 should have been!! Such a disappointment that they released this model after releasing the fold 6.
Tôi ở Việt Nam, tôi muốn mua thì làm thế nào?
He ships to Vietnam.
That crease is disgusting, looks like a brick. Samsung still lives in 2015 in comparison to vivo or honor.
You've all basically pre-ordered the Fold 7 for $3,000 in my opinion.
Nah all reports say fold 7 will look like fold 6
@techr1320 I guess we'll see...
I will never buy another samsung phone, they treat their customers will disdain.
Cool. Byeeee!
@adambaxter7380 👋

No pen support.. massive fail.
Wait for the 7 maybe
A folding phone does not last long until the screen breaks

better to buy the s24 ultra and a tablet then. price is too much.
Over $5,000AUD plus import tax! Ssessh is it even worth it?? Wow so steep, yet you get lesser features... hmm 😒
Its time to let Huawei into the market

Does it support Arabic?
NOWHERE near value for money in any sense for this phone
Definitely weird.😅

For a laugh at how far there behind the Chinese brands.
