Samsung better hit it hard in 2025 otherwise this company will be in trouble. And Samsung will have to give consumers what they ask for. Competition is fiercer than ever and Samsung has no interest in seeing itself as too beautiful and too big.
They are not in trouble. The flagship phones are just a fraction of their income. But I agree that they should get their act together and not just release the fold4 for the 3rd year in a row.
I remember MKBHD saying Samsung would never make the regular Z fold wider to a normal smartphone width, and that it rather make a whole new foldable, and that was a bet BTW. Bang on the money
Why do people believe that these youtubers know what a big company like Samsung would do, Samsung ever so often does things that surprises the world.they are so innovative and a trendsetter when it comes to design.
Sometimes, when you have a large voice in the community, it's a must to say something triggering to go in our favor to a company to say, "Oh yeah? We would never? Okay, watch this. Here you go, the z fold SE, lol. It obviously made them try! Close mouths don't get fed.
I have to say - that the design of that Z Fold SE looks pretty insane. If they’ve managed to get rid of that crease entirely, that is nothing short of amazing…
You know i dont mind not having the s pen integrated if it means i can have a larger s pen and there are cases available to carry the s pen... the integrated s pen on the S 24 ultra is tiny...
If not a bigger battery, at least 45-50w superfast and 25w wireless fast charging. The spen should be integrated at this point. I rather have the thinner ZFold6 I have now to fit cameras and spen, just make it as wide as the ZF6ix SE. Imo.
Agreed, but 45-50w superfast is more in line with what Samsung will incorporate... Ir-blaster was a game changer... Deff wanna full spen support and integration one day... for use artists out here.
@metv1221 yeh man...they removed the IR blaster in S7 onwards as they wanted to promote their smart things app i believe... Other folding phones have IR blaster and its the most underrated amazing feature on a phone ! I dont know why reviewers dont talk about this ever....
@@potatochalbro Do you mean that it did exist in Samsung phone before?😅 As I know this feature could only be found in almost all Chinese brands (Huawei, Honor, Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi ) phones😀
Great video. I'm a fan of the narrow screen on the 6. I love my 6. If they offer 2 sizes next year the only downside I see is the non ultra will get shafted with lesser specs. Although the size of the special edition doesn't seem to drastic at least if they go with that size for the 7 I will be okay with it. Will see in 9 months time. Can't wait.
The size isn't drastically bigger in the hand, but the Fold 6 has a nice comfort about it. The smaller one would likely be like the base model S series devices with their specs.
@techwithbenefits yes! Nailed it! This current 6 size hits the comfort spot. Can you not say the same with the SE? I'm hoping that size would still be in the comfort zone.
I love how he said " I'm not going to say Samsung hasn't been innovating"... They released the same phone for like the past 3 years. Across their entire portfolio. Not just foldables
Hate to be negative, but I got a Z Fold because slab phones were getting too wide. I love the form factor of the ZF5/ZF6 + the spen. The SE looks like a parts bin prototype. If they can offer 2 Folds (normal and wide), then I think they will be successful but they'll have to improve the battery on the bigger unit.
The z fold S.E rear camera module looks ugly to me, no under display camera for a better uninterrupted viewing experience, the inner display front camera still isn't good, and no s pen support 😮💨. I don't feel like we're missing anything in the U.S. I do love the bigger displays, though 👍🏼.
good review. im still playing w mine i got it... for under $300 ; ) and yes it's an older used model. ive recently discovered the zoom feature so my mini-binoculars now got a replacement : )
The Special Edition does look great. But I really love my Z Fold 6 as it is. I've gotten used to the form factor and the cover display and it doesn't bother me at all. Only the telephoto lens and the battery needs an upgrade in my opinion. You're right about Mike from Average Dad BTW. Bought my Vivo X200 Pro from his store, incredibly fast shipping and the contact with Mike was great, he's a great guy.
There's supposed to be another tri-fold called the Tecno from Shenzhen called the Fold 2 Ultimate. The Fold 2 looks doable but the target market is Asia and Aftrica. The price is almost the same as the Samsung Fold 6
If you still think its compact i trust it's a good size. But like others said, it needs spen support and personally i dont like the camera cutout and bigger bezels. That camera just needs to go away rather than detract from the main appeal of the device.
I have to check it in person but based on how it looks like, it is a no-go for me and I would stick to the standard version. No S Pen and that huge ridiculous camera bump - no thanks. I hope Samsung keeps both sizes to satisfy all of us, so that everyone can enjoy its own preference. Thank you for the video.
They should use better telephoto lens. Even some midrange phones from Motorola use better 3x telephoto lesn than this.... At least use the 50 MP 5x lens from S24 Ultra
they can do that, but then it would cost more. putting the main cam alone is already an upgrade, and Samsung likes to keep the 3x. all they need to do on the next one is increase the sensor size, mp of the 3x to save space. put the 200mp sensor like the ones on vivo and that should be it.
i think it's interesting to mention the Samsung Z fold 6 has dropped down to £1000 BRAND NEW on ebay right now. that is a HUGE drop in value for a brand new phone
Great video and informative! Appreciate the efforts. I intend to get the China version W25. Do you think the W25 will work with wear os watches such as the galaxy watch ultra?
We'll get 5x zoom in Fold 8. Wait, I've seen this kind of small steps policy between generations somewhere before. Yes, in A.... tfu😁 I hope I'm wrong 😉
W 25 the black gold Chinese version is gorgeous. I hope samsung uses that design for the fold 7 and copies honor w stylus on both screens and bigger battery and 65 watt charging at least . Otherwise design wise far superior to the fold 5 and normal fold 6
Yes, This. I wonder if you can use a regular stylus on the SE...🤔 The Fold 6 doesn't support the S-pen on the cover screen, so I use a normal stylus for it.
yes I had the first fold so I know what you mean. I left Samsung after the 3 and went to vivo x fold, x fold plus and now x fold 3 pro. I got to get my hands now on the FOLD SE and compare it with my VIVO z fold 3 PRO
I’m not sure, but I still prefer the Z Fold6’s aspect ratio and external display. While the wider external screen is nice, the inner screen’s squarish aspect ratio feels awkward to me
Note 10 was a 19.5:9 aspect ratio from memory, so it would likely be a bit wider than this. But that was a perfect size! I don't have one unfortunately
I personally just want my ZFold6 to be as wide as the SE, not as tall... bringing the cameras... 45-50w superfast and 25w wireless fast charging. Dont need thinner if , lose spen support... Fingers crossed for spen integration one day!
@techwithbenefits note 10 6.3 has spen and as long as Spen is same thickness as usbc port it can fit SE can fit a spen easy? The cameras don't need all that extra width. Thanks for the feedback. And great video as usual. 👍🏽 👌
A nice box is nice and for the cost it could easy be there, but after so many phones and always try/change i this days just rips it open or use a knife to get phone out fast and in charger. :)
I would love this phone, I've no interest in the s pen so I would've been happy if this was released here ... but I cant justify 4.5K... Looks like I'll have to wait 😢
I really think if they made the Fold, the outside of S24U would be perfect because they can have a lot bigger battery, cameras, and intergrated S-Pen. I would really buy it and call it the Fold Ultra
Thank you. You realized that this should be the Fold 6. Still, I would not buy the special edition because the Fold 7 or other Chinese foldables will come with much better specifications and lower prices.
Cant wait when it arrives in europe without charging brick, without case, without cable lol Im long time samsung user but this and no s pen support just means it is time to look for oneplus open 😢
If they don't put Qualcomm back in the plus I'm going back to OnePlus. My s22 is getting a little lame in the battery department so it's almost time and I love Samsung cameras but for the price I need to get the best chip set
I think there may have been some sort of internal conflict between the original design team and probably a new design team at Samsung. The Z Fold SE was probably released to see the markets reaction and put all arguments to rest. SE won! Expect Z Fold 7 to look similar to the SE with added improvements.
Early leaks confirm zFold7 to be same as zFold6. Even "AverageDad" said so. Samsung is just trolling. They still don't have the battery & charging technology that China has. This is stopping them from making thinner phone, which is why they took off the digitizer to narrow this phone.

@ actually keen to see if you have any band issues considering it’s an import. A lot of non native phones are having issues since the 3G network was turned off.
Okay... £2.399 for the new Z fold... WOOOW.. That's a lot of money.. And, even tho I am not a fan of Samsung, idk why but I really want to test out the Z Fold... I mean, it look really nice on the video, but I'm corius how is it in reality? Is it worth to buy a used Z Fold 5/6 now just let's say for "Test"?? I am currently using the iPhone 16 Pro (No, I don't want to sell this phone)?
Unless they start putting s-pens in these things, I'm not buying them. I already went through that separate pen nonsense with the S21 Ultra and I couldn't wait to ditch that when the S22U came along.
Who cares about the spen. Samsung most likely has statistics over how few uses the pen. Release this globally with an under display camera and larger battery capacity without making it thicker. And make the screen anti glare as the Ultra.
If I had splashed out on a Fold 6 - and within weeks Samsung release this (albeit limited release) I would feel let down by Samsung as they should have delayed the release of the Fold 6 until this new addition was generally available. It looks like they have released the Fold 6 for the sake of it - because the real deal wasn't quite ready - and those who have paid out a fortune for it are now left holding an already a significantly depreciated product. Who would be mad enough to buy a Fold 6 now knowing that the next iteration is going to have THE form factor everyone wanted the Fold 6 to be? I hope Samsung will give all Fold 6 owners 100% trade in discount against the new iteration of the Fold - once that is available for general release.
No disrespect, great video.. But a shorter accurate video would've been simple to state that for the price, if there's a better version of the phone than that should be the phone in mass production. I'm growing tired of Samsungs games. I'm glad I stayed with my 5, and I regret upgrading with every Fold before this (except 1 & 2). This version that's not available in the states is a slap in the face to loyals. Also, them senselessly and now constantly removing useful features is tired. I am however locked in on the fold form factor so I'd never thought I'd say this but if... 🍏.. 🤢🤮 makes a comparable fold I'm jumping out the window.. ✌🏽
Got the fold 6 today and immediately called them to return it. I was going to trade my ultra 23 and $700. But after using fold 6 for 5 minutes it gave me zero excitement. Terrible front screen and unfolded, UA-cam videos smaller on that screen than my ultra 23. Price they are selling it for is insane. I cant see myself cracking open phone all the time. It should be at most $300 to trade ultra 23 for it.
Nice but it has no s-pen support and such a beautiful display desperately needs one and for G*d sake, just put in a bigger battery. Users don't care how thin this is but we do care about a bigger battery with decent fast charging. I don't need a thin plate in my hands. Give me something substantial with battery life! Ps. Because I'm rather vain 🤗, eliminating the crease would go a long way too. I hate it to see the Fold 6 crease in daylight. It's the same crease my Fold 4 had 2 years earlier...
Samsung doing this is basically spitting in our faces smh they have no shame. They can literally make this phone but choose not to in the US . And when they do release it its 3k in another country.
I prefer Z Fold6 7.6 the best size ever made, if I need tablet I will buy the ipad pro 11 inch Real Tablet. But anyway thank you so much for make this videos
The only reason it is better is because it mimics the OnePlus Open in size, and closer to the best OnePlus crease. That's it. It still is a thick phone, but with less features because no stylus support at all. Add to that, the poor batter and slow charging, and same old cameras for telephoto and wide. The WORST thing is the camera hole, right in middle of screen, in the way. This phone is a epic fail compared to the OnePlus Open. Samsung will also fail with zFold7, because they plan to continue their narrow form factor, not this aspect ratio.
Samsung better hit it hard in 2025 otherwise this company will be in trouble. And Samsung will have to give consumers what they ask for. Competition is fiercer than ever and Samsung has no interest in seeing itself as too beautiful and too big.

Note 10 was a 19.5:9 aspect ratio from memory, so it would likely be a bit wider than this. But that was a perfect size! I don't have one unfortunately

Not even sure where the s pen can go 😅 this thing is so thin when open
@techwithbenefits note 10 6.3 has spen and as long as Spen is same thickness as usbc port it can fit
SE can fit a spen easy? The cameras don't need all that extra width.
Thanks for the feedback. And great video as usual. 👍🏽 👌
People are finally coming around.
FINALLY
Hopefully the 7 is like the SE
(Of course S Pen will be added back in)
The reason the SE is thinner is because they omitted the digitizer layer that must exist for the S Pen.

Okay... £2.399 for the new Z fold... WOOOW.. That's a lot of money.. And, even tho I am not a fan of Samsung, idk why but I really want to test out the Z Fold... I mean, it look really nice on the video, but I'm corius how is it in reality? Is it worth to buy a used Z Fold 5/6 now just let's say for "Test"?? I am currently using the iPhone 16 Pro (No, I don't want to sell this phone)?
Unless they start putting s-pens in these things, I'm not buying them. I already went through that separate pen nonsense with the S21 Ultra and I couldn't wait to ditch that when the S22U came along.
Samsung is trolling with this phone😂they put a charger in the box😂😂😂 wtf
Samsung will never offer this form factor. Zfold7 stated to be same as zFold6.
Samsung should have done this in fold 4. Then upgraded it's camera like in vivo 200 or Oppo x8 pro.😅
I just subscribed
Thanks!
Who cares about the spen. Samsung most likely has statistics over how few uses the pen. Release this globally with an under display camera and larger battery capacity without making it thicker. And make the screen anti glare as the Ultra.
If I had splashed out on a Fold 6 - and within weeks Samsung release this (albeit limited release) I would feel let down by Samsung as they should have delayed the release of the Fold 6 until this new addition was generally available. It looks like they have released the Fold 6 for the sake of it - because the real deal wasn't quite ready - and those who have paid out a fortune for it are now left holding an already a significantly depreciated product. Who would be mad enough to buy a Fold 6 now knowing that the next iteration is going to have THE form factor everyone wanted the Fold 6 to be? I hope Samsung will give all Fold 6 owners 100% trade in discount against the new iteration of the Fold - once that is available for general release.
can i draw with some pen?
Unfortunately not 😔
No disrespect, great video.. But a shorter accurate video would've been simple to state that for the price, if there's a better version of the phone than that should be the phone in mass production. I'm growing tired of Samsungs games. I'm glad I stayed with my 5, and I regret upgrading with every Fold before this (except 1 & 2). This version that's not available in the states is a slap in the face to loyals. Also, them senselessly and now constantly removing useful features is tired. I am however locked in on the fold form factor so I'd never thought I'd say this but if... 🍏.. 🤢🤮 makes a comparable fold I'm jumping out the window.. ✌🏽
The se is great but takeover the foldable market they should do more for the 7. Give us that anti reflective display please at least
Anti reflective coating is a must!
Such a shocking thing to say! "This should have been fold 6"...😅
Got the fold 6 today and immediately called them to return it. I was going to trade my ultra 23 and $700. But after using fold 6 for 5 minutes it gave me zero excitement.
Terrible front screen and unfolded, UA-cam videos smaller on that screen than my ultra 23.
Price they are selling it for is insane.
I cant see myself cracking open phone all the time.
It should be at most $300 to trade ultra 23 for it.
Better but still no, I want 5k+ battery, faster charging, s pen support on front screen and slotted
You look like the young Steve Jobs
Nice but it has no s-pen support and such a beautiful display desperately needs one and for G*d sake, just put in a bigger battery. Users don't care how thin this is but we do care about a bigger battery with decent fast charging. I don't need a thin plate in my hands. Give me something substantial with battery life! Ps. Because I'm rather vain 🤗, eliminating the crease would go a long way too. I hate it to see the Fold 6 crease in daylight. It's the same crease my Fold 4 had 2 years earlier...
Samsung doing this is basically spitting in our faces smh they have no shame. They can literally make this phone but choose not to in the US . And when they do release it its 3k in another country.
I prefer Z Fold6 7.6 the best size ever made, if I need tablet I will buy the ipad pro 11 inch Real Tablet. But anyway thank you so much for make this videos
Anybody remember Nokia and Blackberry 🤔
Z Fold 7 and Z Fold Ultra 😃
Here's hoping!
The only reason it is better is because it mimics the OnePlus Open in size, and closer to the best OnePlus crease. That's it. It still is a thick phone, but with less features because no stylus support at all. Add to that, the poor batter and slow charging, and same old cameras for telephoto and wide. The WORST thing is the camera hole, right in middle of screen, in the way. This phone is a epic fail compared to the OnePlus Open. Samsung will also fail with zFold7, because they plan to continue their narrow form factor, not this aspect ratio.
Love my Fold 6 but I get a little angry at the video
No spen, no sd card slot. Naur thanks.
