    Important to understand that this is MY review - I paid for this phone, I used this phone and will continue to use it to give you a longer-term review about how it’s held up in my day to day. But at the moment, here’s my findings.

      I must admit, I love this type of review. I am thinking of getting the Fold 6 even though I am disappointed with the lack of effort that's been made when compared to the efforts from the likes of Google, Honor, OnePlus, and even Huawei. Also, with the rumors of the Fold Ultra/Slim, it sounds to me like Samsung is admitting that they have made a mistake, but I can't understand why they are limiting its release because it's obvious that Westerners want it. The only thing that I am worried about is the durability of the other phones. Samsung has managed to improve each year, and I haven't had any issues with the Fold 5 at all. I love the One UI experience and don't know if I would like the other software experiences or if I would have to change my entire ecosystem. I know I am going to be disappointed because there is better hardware out there that I know Samsung could match or surpass.

    Most people aren't paying 1900 for the phone. Depending on your plan you can get almost 1100 off. For 800 it's more than worth it. It's a tablet that can be used as a phone.

      Yeah, I just got the fold 6 as my first foldable, and in just a few weeks, I'm already concerned I'll never be able to go back to a standard style phone. I've even gotten used to the smaller front screen, with the understanding I can always have a bigger screen at any time if needed. But I'm out of control now. I've already preordered the google 9 fold, as one who always likes to have a "back up phone". HEEEEEELP!!!! 😰

    • @fasjackson3588
      @fasjackson3588 6 днів тому

      My Fold 6 case fits amazingly! I was literally amazed at how tight it was and love that it's less of a phone when folded and in your pocket (height and width) It's actually easier for me to carry around because it's a tad bit smaller when closed and not that much thicker than the newer S-Series because once you put even a thin rubber case on one they're damn ear the same thickness, not to mention if you go with some rugged style case, then the Fold6 is actually smaller in the pocket. I love this being the case, it's perfect. (To each their own of course) :-)

    18:00 yes you very much could, but what's easier and more convenient to get (you're own words) more or less the same experience? 2 separate devices that both need to be charged and takes up space, likely even requires a bag or case to carry it around, as well as the chargers, or just one device that folds up and fits in your jeans pockets?

    I still love my z fold 5. Thanks to my mobile gaming channel it made it possible for me to get it on contract and now I had it exactly one year and it's still amazing. I still make content on my phone to upload to my channel, the inside display has had no issues. No damage, it still folds perfectly fine. The front display is fine, the battery life is still great. I really am so happy with this phone. I don't think I missed out on the z fold 6.

    • @ptm_tobi
      @ptm_tobi 3 місяці тому +3

      Not trying to defend them too much here but a lot of consumers don't know a lot about phone batteries so they often use the phone while it's charging.
      Since the fold 6 is so thin but powerful at the same time, while either having to power twice the screen size or being folded (leading to worse cooling conditions), there might just not be enough cooling power to handle all that AND 45w charging while keeping the battery safe.
      For me personally it's not that big of an issue since I always charge my phone over night and even there I have to use the battery protection mode since it's obviously way too fast. I've never experienced 45w charging before though so I don't know what I'm missing out on 😅

      I went from a note 20 ultra to an S23 U and then a S24U.
      I did the twenty three because I was starting to be concerned about the trade in of the phone and wanted the new UI. I never liked the twenty three I don't know why.Because they're all similar, but for some reason, I just never bonded with that phone.
      Truth be told the note twenty ultra was my favorite phone because of the color the mystic bronze, and just in general, how it felt. But I do like the twenty four ultra. But i'm also itching for a fold.
      Right now it's just too expensive for the compromises.
      You would think for almost $2000 US that you would have a better than mediocre camera. I'm not a big camera person. I just want to get my money's worth and when I do take a photo or a video I want it to be good. I realize that with all the increased technology, they have to put the money into that and make compromises somewhere.
      We're never gonna have it all with these devices, and it comes down to basically can you live with the compromises In order to get the newness?

  • @fasjackson3588
    @fasjackson3588 6 днів тому +1

    OK, most people aren't buying the fold for it's camera, Samsung has been very clear and transparent about this saying specifically it's not going past 50M because it'd affect the fold functionality, second The Fold6 DOES have Super Fast Charging so what are you literally saying it charges slooooow for? Mine charges every bit as fast as my previous device S23 which I still have, can't tell the difference as far as charge speed goes. you MIGHT have to get a cable capable of super fast I dunno, because I'm simply using a longer charge cable I already had. The "crease" is there yes, of course..and in sunlight you see it a BIT more but the phone is VERY bright and if you crank up the brightness the crease is absolutely acceptable and hinders literally nothing imo.
    I've never had a folding device until now but the build, the strength of the folding as a whole is very very strong and in no way feels like it'll break. I was very surprised when I demo'd it first. I got the $1100 credit for my trade-in but then paid it off so I could keep it for the wife so I got more like a 900.00 deal on my fold. I didn't buy it for looks or so people could gaulk at me/it when using it. I bought it for functionality so I could use it for work mainly and not have to lug around an iPad mini (which is kinda heavy, or gawd forbid a 10" iPad) I sold them both to pay for this and it's woooonnndddeeeerrrrful to use in the office or out in the field. I work in IT and software support and this is a godsend having this ability and still having a very pocketable phone (folded it's a bit thicker than my S23 (not by much either) but not as wide so it's actually more pocketable because the width and height when closed are smaller so for me, that was a big win. People buying this are doing so for business I'd bet 80% of the time. No one is buying this for gaming (see if mom and dad will swing for this and you'll see what I mean lol). I game to as an adult at 55yrs yes, of course but It was the last thing on my mind when I bought it. Get a nice case for it and if you like the Spen stuff and ability make sure the case you get has a slot for the SPen. I don't use the S-pen mch in my world so I opted for a smaller case without Spen space being taken up but there are cases that are very rugged, support wireless charging etc. I can get by a whole day easily using this at work and opening and closing it prob 50 times a day and in no way feel like it's cheap or will wear out over time. These have a very solid hinge setup. Just be careful if you're considering it. It's not cheapo but the damn S24 comes in at around what? 1200.00 or so also? And if your plan puts you on a new 2yr contracts like most do, then it doesn't feel quite as expensive. I had zero buyer's remorse, especially with the 1100.00 trade-in discount. My 3¢ after 3 weeks usage. Also, do NOT put any screen covers on the inner screen, it'll hinder it and it doesn't feel like it needs one, the case I bought had a glass style sheet for the outer and if you install it very patiently and prep the device making it super clean and dust free you'll LOVE it. NO bubbles for me! ()this is a first) This Fold6 ROCKS.....just not for everyone. Ive had a Note since the Note 1 and then up to the S23 and this is a very happy camper switching to this little beast.

    Coming from iPhone 14 Pro Max , got bored of iOS. Had iPhone since iPhone X. Just personally love s24 ultra , but feel like it would be better just to have a separate tablet. I’ve tried to find any good reason of having a foldable. But it’s been hard to convince myself. Plus I like the main screen being bigger, if they ever make the foldable with the same size as the ultra I might seeing it being an option. But right now I’m still thinking foldable aren’t really worth it, like you said you could get a separate tablet for the same price nearly if not cheaper.

    I'm in my first week with the ZF6. I too love the Spigen Zero cases. I enjoyed one on my S23U, and was pleased to find one for the ZF6. I also recommend the IMBZBK screen protector kit. It features protection for both inner and outer displays, and the lenses, but with the Spigen case, the lense protector is too large. I'm still getting used to a smaller outer display, typing is a bit tougher with my large hands. This is my first folding phone in over a decade, and I am pretty pleased. The crease doesn't really bother me. I have found the battery to be pretty great when not having heavy apps running in the background. The inner screen on One Plus you showed really looked amazing. Price on the ZF6 is way too high in my opinion, and I am very fortunate to have mine provided by my employer. Nice video!

    The thing with the cameras on the Fold6 is that this is the third year in a row that Samsung's used them, as they were on the Fold5 AND the Fold4. And *for me*, that was a downgrade when the Fold4 was new and I had the opportunity to upgrade from my S10+! (I went with the S22 Ultra) Doesn't seem like they're going to make them any better, either.
    The inner screen...it's pretty disgraceful that it's gettin' whooped by an almost one-year-old phone (OnePlus Open aka Oppo Find N3, which came out October 2023).

    Now I got the Z Fold 6 with a lot of discounts where I pay for the 512gb version less than 1300$. I tested the phone at my local electronics market and it got better but I love the fact that I can just use the small display with one hand which is amazing and I used the bigger display only for video content consumption.

    I think that tech tubers who purchase every generation of a device might be more negative because they've had the last iteration and have higher than normal expectations for the latest generation. Plus all of the "hype" or "prototypes" of what the next gen could potentially be in between generations along with all of the leaks also builds the high expectations so I can see why tech tubers feel like the latest generation of a device then falls flat for them. If I went from the Fold 3 to the 4 to the 5 to the 6, I guess I wouldn't feel like there was much of a change, but coming from the Fold 3 or 4, I can see the massive change with the Fold 6. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    My fold 3 finally gave up after 3 years. Main screen stopped working(no display). I feel I can't go back to traditional phones after 3 years of using a foldable, but at this price point, I would love it if the phone lasts for atleast 5 years. I am still using the front screen and waiting for the launch of s25 ultra.

      How long have you had your ZF4? I just got mine about 3 weeks ago and I love it my biggest gripe is the battery and charging system. Even with a fast charger it still takes about an hour 15 to get to full and then the drain can be down 15% in a little over an hour. Without a fast charger it takes like 2+ hrs to charge.

The 24+ feels great but I have a hard time getting excited for it as it feels like the same old thing released by every manufacturer every year. Guess I am waiting until next year to see if Samsung can release something worth getting excited about.

    At least Samsung seems to realize they got too complacent. There have been huge deals on the fold6 lately, like $350 off no trade in and another $400+ off depending on color and spec. I think the biggest let down is the camera, however I am already super disappointed there is no 10x optical for any Samsung and the 10mp sensor with the 10x still keeps me from getting what I'd want out of one device on my s23 ultra. I just don't think if you want great shots that any camera on a phone is going to cut it yet, there are just too many sacrifices to fit the form factor. I'm hoping that the extra screen space is worth it and for decent photos, I'll just have real camera, like a sony rx100 for something compact that still does great shots. At least until someone makes an amazing camera phone, and hopefully a folding one too so I can ditch the tablet and camera and not make any sacrifice.

    I usually use both Samsung and Apple flagships every year at the same time. I had the S24 Ultra, gave it to mi wife and jumped for the first time into foldables, The Z fold 6 is a very matured and refined foldable phone, the experience has been really great for me, actually having a narrower phone is not bad, very pocketable and still the front screen is very usable. Cameras as not being as powerful as the S24 Ultra are still very decent and provide good videos and pictures (you have to understand that not everybody is a tech geek like most of us here), regarding the battery life it depends on your daily activities and lifestyle, in my situation I end up with 50% battery around 12:30 at night so is very good IMO. No regrets here, very fun phone to use, and one more thing.... the Samsung Dex is here as well, which turns this phone into a full blown PC, best functionality on a Samsung phone.

Only the zoom isn't as good but I'm not missing anything because zooming in has never be been that great anyways. When it's open its just as wide as all the other fold phones that have larger dimensions because of the height. You will see when watching videos and using samsung really did an amazing job. Especially when using multi screen apps and gaming or using dex. Which I use almost every day.
