#GalaxyFold6 #Samsung #Review #Fold6
Yes I'm well aware that the Cover screen is 6.3 INCHES and not millimeters. It's still just slightly wider. 🤷🏻♂
Im a fan of the slim cover screen and hope they never get rid of it. It WOULD be cool to see them come out with an Ultra version that IS wider (and for the love of god put the S Pen INSIDE it already am i right?)
Same
Apples phones never change
Ordered… today. I am moving out of iPhone 14 pro max
Lucky I still have the 14 pro max 😅
You will love this phone. I changed a year ago to the fold 4 and it's a fun phone to use, especially when using UA-cam and watching movies.
@@jtran0826 I did 4 years ago and never going back to Apple.
@@TheTekEffect I had the opposite experience with the fold 4 it worked good the first 6 months then glitches n stuff n now I ended up trading it in for the 14 pm and been with this phone for a year 😅
@@jtran0826 That sucks. I personally never had a issue with mine. I'm also waiting on the fold 6 to arrive, only gripe that i have with my fold 4 is the size of the cover screen.
I pre-ordered the 6 in navy. I’m upgrading from the IPhone 12. I’m so excited for it to come!!! Such a beautiful phone and imo I feel the navy is the best color. Never had a foldable phone so this is going to be a new experience.
I hope you love it!
Yess i pre ordered the navy too 🎉🎉🎉 beautiful color🤩
Traded my 12 pro max for the fold 3, 3 years Ago and it was the best decision I ever made. To this day people are still amazed and ask what phone this is when im using it and 3 years later there's still features I'm learning and love about this phone
I pre ordered the navy also, my first fold.. Eek!
Damn you're about to get an upgrade lol
Just preodered from the fold 4. I wasnt going to, but I made the mistake of going to a Best Buy and holding one... the weight of the phone itself had me, its very noticeable. The wider front screen which alot of people are giving crap for, i actually liked it very much. Guys, go hold one...
Glad to hear the opinion of someone with a Fold 4. I'm upgrading from Fold 4 as well. Excited for my crafted black Fold 6 to get delivered!
Same
Same. I usually want 2 years and this feels like the right move. Mine should be here soon this month
Yea i have fold 4 and am about to make jump..i like that it is lighter and has wider screen for front screen i need that lol hate texting 1 handed
I agree with you in regards to the toxic upgrade culture. People are expecting something Ground-breaking EVERY year. The magic is in the refinements year over year until the phone is almost perfect. I'm upgrading from the fold 3 and can't wait. If you want something to blow your mind every year then neither Apple or Samsung can help you. you just need to wait more until the combined amount of upgrades is to your liking
Same upgrading from my fold 3. Was hoping for a bigger screen but from 3 to the 6 there is definitely an upgrade and the 900 dollars trade in value is pretty good
Yes 90p for a z fold 3. Can't beat
I have fold 4 and I would upgrade to 6, but no convinced is it make sense.
@marcinmichon4349 fold 3 is a good upgrade to 6. However fold 4 is more of an argument. Fold 5 shouldn't be upgrading imo.
The inner screen isn't the same size. It's now 2.7mm bigger.
Coming from a 13 pro max and this is my first foldable phone so, I'm looking forward to it!!
Same here!!!
Me too
Me too 🫡
Compared them in person... its wider! There is a noticeable difference.
yea we are at the age of skip a year. Which is what i did fold 4 to fold 6. I did have the fold 3 and then got the 4 because of the the larger front screen. But here i believe the 5 was not much of an upgrade. The 6 me and my next upgrade would probably be the 8 unless the 7 has built in spen slot
I have pre ordered, i got silver with silver buds, i am upgrading from fold2, the fold2 has served me well and with $600 trade in i had to do it
in my country they give $600 for fold4 512 :/
@bartoszwitasiak6014 that sucks, I wasn't going to buy it but since they are giving $600 trade in for a phone that is literally 4 yrs old I said to myself now is the time
@@MS-ql8ek Good decision :)
@@bartoszwitasiak6014wow thats bad i have fold 4 and getting 1000 for trade in for fold 6
It feels and looks wider when its in your hand as opposed to what the measurements are on paper. Not thrilled about the same midrange cameras but i ordered a white 1tb anyway.
They really are not mid range cameras. Get real now. They are same cameras as s24 and s24 plus and they are definently not mid range...rolls eyes
@aldude3456 what do you think the s24 and plus are lol....midrange. the ultra is the flagship...how do you not know this? You should roll your eyes at yourself.
LOL phones like the Samsung A series is mid range! Pixel a series. I just held it and was blown away by the in hand feel this year. I totally agree with you on that stuff
@@redstang70 nah he is correct.
@@redstang70 I have the S24 Ultra and the Fold 5. If I took pictures with each of them and showed you side by side, you probably wouldn't know which was which.
Might be refined enough finally for me to make the jump from iPhone. Was hoping you would be able store the s pen in it this year though. Nice KISS shirt also!
I finally am going for the fold. I love the new design.
Just god my self a Fold 5 on the cheap. €264 down payment, with my new carrier contract.
Also looked at pre ordering the Fold 6 with my new carrier contract. Had to pay over a €1000 down payment.
So the Fold 5 was a no brainer. Though I do like the boxier design of the Fold 6
Brokies.
Do you even own any stocks or crypto or your own house?
@@dnajournal4321douche of the day goes to this guy.
I've seen many reviewers post videos saying that the outer screen is 6.3 versus 6.2 on the Fold 5, so the screen is 1mm wider... This is incorrect. Yes, the screen is 1mm bigger, but the aspect ratio changed and the display is shorter and wider. Samsung said the usable width of the outer display is close to 3mm wider. It's not quite what many were hoping for, but it's much more significant than people are making it sound.
I do agree with you that the aspect ratio makes a difference. Just not a big enough of a difference in my opinion. Still prefer the OnePlus Open's wider screen.
6.3 inches.. not millimeters
Agreed most phone upgrades for the last 5 or 6 years at least are small upgrades every year. Massive upgrades and changes are very rare today. That's why I stopped the yearly upgrades years ago and now upgrade about every 2 because I notice my phone and battery going downhill after that.
I am waiting for my fold 6 navy. I have been using the foldables since fold2 and honestly I cannot depart the larger screen form factor. Once you get used to it, you cannot go back to bar-type phone no more.
I like flip phones because I like using small phones and making them bigger when wanted. But with the fold having a big screen in the front what’s the point of using the inner display ? Besides as a tablet if someone already has a tablet ?
Did you get ur navy fold already??
My Fold 4 has either a battery or MOBO issue where it'll lose audio and has issues restarting. But physically, it's almost perfect. So I'll be happy to trade it in for the Fold 6.Pre-ordered the Crafted Black.
I agree with your closing comments. I've been a Note, then S Ultra user for years and years. My S23U screen recently got cracked and I was getting ready to order a S24U last week, but then I was like, Ya know what, I'm gna wait a few days and see what this new fold looks like." And even though it's not a lot different from the 5, for some reason I just felt now was the time to jump into the foldable world. I can't wait for it to get here as it'll be my first!
Ordered a pink one today. If samsung keeps offering trade in deals. I will continue to upgrade. Yes higher retail but lower with trade in total. I paid higher last year for the 5. Yes I believe it's time for samsung to make a drastic change on the next one.
I'm on board with Samsung for the software, the trade deals, and the narrow display (it's controversial but I personally like it). I am not on board enough to upgrade every single year though, that sounds expensive and sounds more or less pointless.
Aside from the Fold 1 to 2, was there ever a year-over-year improvement that was significant by itself?
I'm upgrading from the 4 to 6 because the 4's had the most reported cases of failure and I'm a little afraid of it, want off that ship before it sinks, but I think the sweetspot for time to upgrade in order for it to feel significant is 3 gens at a time.
Been waiting for the new fold , been rocking the fold 3 since it dropped 👌🏽 great phone just pre ordered the crafted black
Dom Awesome Video it's been a while since I had a chance to see your video's.Hope all is well.Look forward to catching more.Thanks so much.💯✌️
Battery not being at least 5k mAh in 2024...big miss.
Still on my Fold 3. Amazed at how incremental 4,5 and 6 have been. Almost better to buy a 2 year old phone and save $1500 to get 90% of functionality
Lol I had a fold 3 myself and went to the 4 when it came out. I can assure you just the jump from the 3 to 4 was worth it. Stop listening to people who are not everyday fold users. I pre-ordered the 6.
never got issues with the inner screen of your fold3? i'm on the fence for fold6 coz of the durability issues of the inner screen
I own a fold 3 they are giving 900$ for that phone, You are crazy if You do not take that. How long do You think they are going to last?,
The Fold 3 to Fold 4 is an upgrade because they changed the camera's. The Fold4 to Fold5 is an upgrade for the hinge. The Fold5 to Fold6 definitely isn't an upgrade. The only difference is slightly a wider cover screen which isn't worth the price difference.
I own a fold 3 I'm waiting for the delivery of my Xiaomi Mix Fold 4..
I pre order crafted black 20 mins after the presentation event , will arrive by the end of the month
I hope it's terrible so I don't go and buy one.
😂😂😂
You ain't lying 💯 I have the z5
😂
@@micdoses1 I've got the z3 and its still going strong, though I'm REALLY wanting to upgrade to the 6. The last 2 haven't really excited me like the 3 did.
These foldables aren't reliable save your money and opt for a regular s24
It is reasonable to expect Samsung to listen to feedback from customers regarding making the S-pen work on the front screen of the Fold 6.
I changed from my fold 3 to the S24 Ultra.....low key, like the lowest key wish I had of waited....
I held the navy blue F6 in my hand, and it's gorgeous. The outter screen is like an S24 Ultra Lite.
The inner screen feels fantastic (fold 3 I was terrified to get dirt on it).
Hi Dom, you can now choose to record 4k 60FPS videos using Ultrawide angle lense camera which was not possible on the Z Fold 5. Your vidoes are phenomenal :).
Might get one. Idk yet. FOR SURE. Gonna get watch 6 classic since 7 lineup has no rotation dial. And buds 3 pro for sure. My dad needs a phone so either ill give him my 24 plus and get the fold6. Or idk
My Boyfriend ordered the navy blue (from the Z Fold 4) and for me, the pink one (from the Z Fold 5)!!!!!!!
i found you again man finally not sure why your not coming up in my notifications i wondered why I hadden seen a video from you in a very long time.
Glad to have you!
Going from the Fold 3 to this so im hoping it will be great in comparison.
I went in to The store to play with it today, I was surprised. I'm coming from a fold 2, and damn...substantial difference. Every year I skip an upgrade due to how similar it felt, last year tempted me but this fold 6 made me tell the lady to put in an order within 20seconds.
I ordered that Crafted Black Edition. Switching from the OnePlus Open to the Fold 6 🥺
Wondering if I should switch over from the one plus open also
@@larocc1 depends on what your reasons for switching are. The Open is better in many ways. I’m specifically doing it for future trade-in value, better / more accessory availability, and for better ergonomics in the hand.
I'm excited for this! I'm upgrading from a Fold 3, so this will be a nice big jump forward for me! I'm hoping that I'll get it the end of this week too; Samsung hasn't said anything new on their site for my order, but someone else on UA-cam pointed out that if you have My Choice for UPS (which is what Samsung is shipping these through), you can log in and see any upcoming shipments to your address and according to that, I have shipment from Samsung scheduled for delivery on the 19th!
Received mine just today in Navy Blue
It's an absolutely beautiful phone
As with apple, this is an iterative update. As phones exceeds $1000 you tend not to upgrade each year. So it´s more interesting to see the differences jumping two or three generations and that´s where it will be noticeable.
I will be jumping from a FLIP 3 to this. That phone sold me on that foldable is not a gimmick. Now I will find out what formfactor works best for me.
And I doubt that I will notice a performance difference or that I will care how square the corners are or that I will have more AI. Or even that the cameras are better.
I've Had Every Fold So Far.. Pre-Ordered The 6, 2 Days Ago.. Wont Ever Go Back To A Non Foldable Now.. Roll On July 24th
You need help
@@AM-wi6zo Na I'm All Good Mate.. Thanks For The Concern Though..
i preordered mine Monday from att got in the mail yesterday so far so pleased .im glad i didnthave to wait unitl the 24th to get it
Simple and straightforward presentation. Keep it up.
i preordered the zf6 in pink and am so excited to be leaving behind my iphone xs max 😭 i love this phone but the iphone 15 is functionally the same as mine as far as what exactly i am able to do on it
finally found someone else who got the pink zf6! I also got the pink case~ traded my 11 pro max.
I cant wait to get mine in either September or October. :)
Oooh scrolling through the phone and seeing Ryan George is tight!
Yes! It was barely an inconvenience!
when i tested the display in store the crease disappeared when i put youtube videos on it
I've had my og fold 2 since day 1 and it's only now slightly bogging down after 4 years of service. Def upgrading this year
People always compare to last year's phone... Most people aren't upgrading after 1 year.... I went from the fold 3 to the 6... The difference is MASSIVE
I truly don’t understand why people have an issue with a small front screen when you have the whole as tablet to open up to. Can’t have everything
Is it worth upgrading from fold 4 to fold 6???
I love fold, however I wish that they have made it wider like One+ Open. I will not be upgrading.
Don't discount the cover screen without giving it a try. Its second to NONE with ease of one handed use when folded, and a perfect small tablet when unfolded. I agree they should make a variant that is wider, but the cover screen we have now will not go anywhere
@@TheRealYeller thanks for the reply. I have been using fold since fold 3 and have fold 5 currently. But not going to upgrade. I was hoping for them to make the phone a bit wider and add a bigger battery. Thanks again!
Ive been wanting a fold since the fold 4. Got a s22 ultra. Chat should i go for a fold 6?
Im rocking a s24 ultra right now. Would you suggest shifting to the fold?
I have the fold 3. Going from a 3 to a 5 is more expensive than going from a 3 to a 6 because of the special promotions they have on the 6😊
I haven't looked into the folds and flips before. Cool that you don't have to open it to use some of the functions. I think that crease would bother me, at least for a while. I'd probably get used to it, but I don't think I'd ever not notice it. I have a Galaxy tab S5, and I actually turned off the fingerprint sensor because it was too cumbersome to get a good read on it in the case. I do like seeing that you can use the different halves of the phone for different things, I never knew that. As for the price difference, part of it will be due to improvements, part will be to the increased cost of components and energy rates.
Considering to move from Pixel 6 to the fold 6. I travel often and want something to reduce the need to pull out a laptop for OneNote lightroom quick edits to post or email
I loved my fold & flip 5, but over time they both became laggy. When using apps like 'instagram' or using the boomerang feature it was very delayed. My iPhone never had these issues 🫤 maybe app developers cater more towards iPhone performance?
The new snapdragon gen 3 fix all those problems
@@TheVickieyshady That’s what they said about the Gen 2. The same issue persists… unfortunately.
If you have to buy a fold 5 for 1400 usd new or fold 6? Which one you pick?
Ordered. But returning and waiting for the V3
I got one, never had a fold, waited until they fixed the folding and they have. Also, my service gave me a year free with a new line.
Does anyone know of the white will yellow over time? Is that something we have to worry about nowadays?
I've seen nothing that makes me regret moving from my Fold 4 to the S24 Ultra 1TB.. I had over a year with the fold and couldn't see the point
How are yall getting the phone so early? Review models? I can't wait to get mine.😊
I want this for the AI sketching. I did run in to a lot of issues when using a demo model when adding sketches to existing photos. I kept getting an error complaining about the location of my drawing
Looking good Dom! Nice review as always. K0dus!
Thanks!!
I still have the fold 3 and have the circle search, so I guess I'm good.
It is soooo much lighter then fold 3. Feels good in hand. But very disappointed there is no Spen slot. The flip 6 also looks very nice in person.
I actually am going back to S24U from the F5. They didn't do anything in the F6 that makes the price as high as it is. The Flip 6 is actually an upgrade from the Flip 5 (slightly bigger battery/better camera)
What about black line of death
Im having problem looking for secured case for zfold6 can you make a video of choices, all i can see is zfold 5 cases
Got a question. On the snapchat app. Is there still a night mode? Where it enhances the picture at night when you take the picture like the fold 4? And does it finally have doul camera mode on snapchat?
I have the fold 3, thinking about getting the fold 6... Will it be worth it? 🤷♂️
Got mine in pink let's go boysssss
oh my god, normally we over here in holland we only had the fold as the only foldable option in this form factor but i now see that also the Oneplus open is available here.
and for only 1549 euro's !
i really don't understand how Samsung fails so hard at doing this.
as all the other ones exist i really thought the fold 6 would finaly be good but no, apparantly they're addicted to doing it very badly.
Same size and aspect ratio as the S24 Ultra, bigger battery and faster charging and I'd be sold.
Already ordered it, but I am going from fold 4. Got watch ultra also.
The S pen doesn't scratch the screen if you press to hard.. because I seen the fold 4 get marks with finger nails
I'm trading in my iPhone for this, and I returned my new iPad and am selling my MacBook. With the Z Fold and a Galaxy Book 360 Pro, I have a phone that doubles as a tablet, and a laptop that doubles as an even larger tablet, cutting out my need for an e-reader, or a larger tablet (which I use extensively for scientific diagrams and handwriting notes).
This may not be a big upgrade for people who already have a Z Fold, but coming from an iPhone, this is a big improvement for me. Plus, the boxier aesthetic is much better than the older design, IMO.
if it would have no crease and if the selfie camera would have been in the corner instead of under the display, i would have definitely considered purchasing it.
I cant find anything confirming specs on the ultra fold 6. Do you have anything?
from what I've heard its a slim variant that is launching in China only. Might come to US later
6.2 to 6.3 for the front screen is a useless stat. We need to know the width.
1mm wider
@@Jayjean88 Yeah not worth the upgrade.
No S Pen Slot, no new Z Fold for me
It's not that upgrades on the previous phone have to be upgraded drastically but when you've got 3 generations of 1 device all more or less having the same specs AND you put the price up.... it's a but ridiculous
It is a good phone I'm happy with it and I've had them all
That crease…nope.
Do what u got to do. But upgrade the damn cameras... There is no logical reason for the most expensive phone in their lineup not to have the best cameras.
I bought my Fold 4 as soon as it released. I upgraded from the Fold 3. When the Fold 5 was released, I was very disappointed as nothing really changed. Now, with the release of the Fold 6, I am VERY disappointed. Barely any changes, and none that are actually significant. I've been itching to upgrade, but once again I won't. I wish competitors had better software, I'd switch instantly. They're all better overall though.
Yea i tend to get 6hrs with my s23 so yea if they push it to 12 id be excited
I'm going from a fold 3 that i had a mediocre experience with to this fold 6. For me this will determine if I'll ever buy a foldable from samsung again or not.
I clapped when you mentioned the toxic upgrade culture. I've started to notice that in different forums and it's draining. I appreciate incremental updates as much as I do, evolutionary ones. My Fold 6 is on it's way.
No camara upgrades smh
any s pen works???
Thanks for the test video
I really want a fold, but I love the apple ecosystem, and its easy with my whole family with using native apps to share everything. Apple needs a fold.
If they made a phone that is exactly half of the Fold6 (that is, only the front screen), it would make my day: I've had enough of big and wide phones, as they are cumbersome to carry in the pockets, but companies seem to go for that form factor...
And the price... ough...
Only reason im upgrading is because my fold 4 hinge is broke and im getting a great pre order deal but if this fold 6 has tbe same hinge issue i won't be buying another..
The fold 6 needed a bigger front screen, bigger battery , the dark corning non reflective glass, s pen outer screen, this was good but incremental and I might wait until fold 7 or fold 6 slim. The software is excellent but the hardware needs work . I might get the tab s10 or pro 360 laptop instead
that crease is really bad. Vivo and Honor has got it so right
Almost a full year with the s24u bit idk, I kind of want to go back to apple and get the 16 pro max when available
Is samsung making an ultra version?
I like that shirt 👕, nice review
I like my one plus open..The front display is bigger than the fold 6.
Oneplus open still better?
I still want to be able to use the pen on the outside screen...that is a big deal to me...
