Even tho it scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7 compared to scratches at level 2 with deeper grooves at level 3 I think, it's more prone to damage since it's always exposed, and you can just change the screen protector on the inner display.

    I would choose the z fold any day of the week. Now, if the s ultra models had everything in it like sd card support, ect, like samsung used to do, that would be a different story. I have a z fold and a moto g stylus 5g 2022 or 23. Motorola offers so much in their mid range phones. I had to get it. They offer micro s.d card support from 1TB to 2TB depending on the model, headphone jack, big display, good battery life, good cameras , stylus features for the built-in stylus plus N.F.C ect... That's everything i need, so if I'm putting down my z fold, it's for my moto g stylus 5g 2022 and up. I know it sounds crazy to some, but i like a phone i can get the most out of, like when LG was still making phones and when samsung used to have every feature imaginable.

    What an awesome phone if you love the hardware Samsung offers I had this phone. Well, I still have it my 15-day return window expired. So I just got the pixel 9 Pro fold unlocked and I got to be honest with you. I've been playing with both of them and I do like Samsung's Hardware is more polish than refined. But every time I pick it up, it just makes me miss the cover screen of Google's foldable because it's the same screen as a pixel 9. Yes Samsung added 1 mm, but it's still not enough and Samsung's design language has gotten boring and their cameras are just being recycled and they need to implement at least Flagship style cameras, because that 50 megapixel sensor is just getting old even Google's camera is not big on the pixels, but an occasions it takes better photos than the Z fold six.

I googled loose power button on fold 6 and found others with the same issue. So I gave it a second go hoping that I'd get one without the issue. Second one arrived and I opened the box and the same thing. Put it right back in the box she returned it. Each time I called the rep offered me $20 to keep the phone.. WOW!! Thank you very much Samsung! It is bad enough my buds pro 3 have very difficult tips to remove. I had to use a razor blade to get the left one off.
