I got bored with with my iphone 12 pro max and decided not upgrade to Any iphone again untill i see revolutionary change. But up to now apple still stick with their lack of innovation even for the iphone 16 pro max. 5 Stars to Samsung for the fold 6, is a game changer device and freedom for some of us Who loves innovations in the phone industry.❤.
I had a Note 10 + and switched to the Galaxy Z Fold 3, now the Z Fold 6, and I don't think I can go back to a regular candy bar style phone again. The Folds are a game changer.
I had a note 9 and was so upset when they discontinued the model. I knew this was the replacement but wanted to wait. Since my S22 just broke I'm gonna get it repaired with insurance, but thinking of just using it as content phone and the fold as my main phone.
Please don't let her go to the flip. It's the worst phone samsumg has made. The s24fe is better than the flip. Either go with the fold or go with the ultra or you will force her to hate android.
The thinner front screen is brilliant. One hand usable. Then for two hands you open the phone to experience the reason to own the phone in the big screen
Foldables have completely ruined my ability to use a regular smartphone ever again. I have the pixel 9 pro fold and the OnePlus open. Using a foldable really just depends upon your lifestyle. If you're someone like me who is always using their device for everything from consuming many UA-cam videos on the big screen, listening to many podcast, using multiple social media apps then a foldable would be a great option. Also, until I started using split screens to do multiple tasks, I did not realize how much versatility that gave me and he how much easier it made doing certain things.
You are an absolute natural at this. I've never had more fun watching a tech review. Thank you for this. I'm an iPhone / Samsung S23U user. The one thing that holds me back from the Z-Fold 6 is the camera, and to a lesser extent, the dust-resistance. If they get the cameras on par with the S23U/S24U, I'd give this a shot. Thank you again for this review.
I switched to Z fold 6 a week ago! NEVER going back!!! The phone is amazing. It’s unreal. RCS chat with google messages is top tier. I can’t believe I was brainwashed with iMessage and FaceTime. Life 360 and google chat via video is just amazing. "Find my," cannot compete with life 360. I still have my iPad Pro. I might keep it and get the tab S9 ultra. Not sure if I prefer the newer iPad Pro so S9 ultra. Btw I did get my phone from Samsungs website. The sale they have and offered trade in value is ridiculous. I got a 1TB Z fold 6 for 1200$. I got 900$ for iPhone 14 PM and 250$ off for choosing one of the main three colors offered by wireless carriers.
As a former iPhone slave , I'm more than happy I broke the chains. I love the zfold 6 in every way and definitely, the fold factor, productivity and software are just amazing.
@@jeffdover6845 yessir. You gotta get on the phone to your provider to switch that esim over either direction. The person who can develop an app that allows an esim swap between iPhone and/or Android phone and charge 5$ for it, is gonna get rich cause there are lots of folks who play both sides of the "fence".
I honestly kept my iPhone 14 ProMax so the family doesn't spaz out about green messages. My iPhone is my person phone but I love the Samsung/Google ecosystem for business. The convenience of my FOld 6 for attending lunch meetings and jotting quick notes in amazing. The synchronization between my phone, S9 Ultra and Samsung 16" Book Edge is absolutely the same as Apple ecosystem integration.
Am i the only one who likes the narrow screen? It's perfect for one hand operation and then when i want to really dive into something i just open the phone. Best of both worlds imo
I'm a lifelong Samsung user. I got so bored I went to the 15PM from the S24U despite my disdain for Apple. I will admit that the 15PM was like a breath of fresh air when I tried it. However, I soon got tired of the 15PM. I finally decided to try the ZF6, and I don't think I will go back to a slab phone.
Another long term AFB here too, had dvery iphone from 3g to 12PM. Bought an S23, adored it, bought the ZF6 and im firmly in now. I have the Tab S9, watch classic 4 and buds 3 pro and im super happy.
Thanks for the Excellent detailed feedback CJ 👏 Just a quick one: Is there an option that we need to activate on the fold to have UA-cam video preview work? This is the only thing I noticed on the fold versions since the fold 4 that does not seem to work.
I switched from 13 Pro Max to z Fold 6 and it is a great win for me. I am from Europe and IT Looks Like Apple Intelligence will not come to us. So I am happy to see Android/Samsung Intelligence 😅
So true... whetter i use my Iphone 12 pro max or my S24U or my ZF6.... all text is the same. Apple just limits android users with media but we all know its just a way to trick people. Reason why USA is suing Apple.
Love the video my dude. Love the break down and all. Felt like having a general unbiased conversation about a few heavy hitting tech products and the pros and cons.
Always gotta stay for the after credit scenes LoL I got bored with iPhone and I've been enjoying the Z Fold6. The transition was tough but I stuck with it and made it to the other side.
Love the ZFold6. However, I keep coming back now and then to the iPhone because my wife doesn't want to switch to iMessage, and sometimes I miss some apps, it is not as easy to switch completely.
For the record if you have a mac at home or a virtual mac at all you can still use IMessage to a certain extent. ill be switching once i can afford the phone it self. ITs the only reason i found an older mac to use, it just sits as a server.
Made the switch from iPhone to pixel to OnePlus open, to be honest I miss all of them, every phone had its features and strong points that I miss after changing but I have to say the big screen on the foldable phones are something else, it feels like I have been seeing half a screen my entire life, everything is full screen now, news, photos, websites, apps, games, everything is more relaxed more readable more usable, I would advise everyone who can try a foldable to give it a shot if you get a good deal on it as the prices are insane for a phone.
I was that iPhone user you're talking about. Had iPhone for years switched the fold 5 just wanting something new from my phone and haven't went back because I'm now on the fold 6. I hoped for apple to make a foldable but they didn't come back with an option for me to stay on their platform just the same Ole looking phone year after year
The very reason I'm skipping the iPhone 16. Innovation came to a screeching halt. Seems like they're doing all they can to keep me from buying the next model.
I've had the Fold 6 for a while now.. I love it!! ALSO, You can turn on the app optimization settings.. it forces all apps to work with the open screen. The multi app use at one time on one screen is amazing as well..
i officially switched back from apple devices to android. phone of choice is z fold 6. apple tv is my last apple device which will be replaced by the new google tv streamer. and they said its hard to switch lol
My wife is absolutely in love with her Fold. I can appreciate the differences between it and my iPhone, but my personal preference is what it is. Just got a 16 Pro and I’m fully satisfied.
Man I just picked up the Z Flip 6 switching from a iphone 13 pro. The ZF6 changes the way I use a phone in all the good ways. I figure I'll just take advantage of Samsungs trade in offer every year.
I left iphone for galaxy fold 5. Haven't looked back. Don't care about imessage, the user experience with foldable just check all my boxes. ONLY thing that grinds my gears is resale value SUCK.
Here to get the insight of CJ as I just ordered the GZF6 in White. I'll be mainly using it for work purposes but still excited to get my hands on this to check out the functionality, Android 15 and One UI 7, once it releases.
have you tried the google pixel pro 9 fold? I want to get a foldable but im in between the 9 pro fold and the z fold 6, both have features i like so im pretty stuck in the middle.
I have been a Samsung user for years but 3 years ago I went to apple 13 pro max for the first time and I love how easy it is , love how Face ID opens everything so easy and how easy Apple Pay is to use with different companies, got a MacBook Pro , airpod2 pro’s and watch ultra 2 as well , even sold my galaxy s 24 ultra lol , I would buy a fold 6 tomorrow if it would work with my watch and other apple stuff
I just traded my z fold 6 in for an iphone. Of course, I regretted it- and had to go through hoops to exchange it back for my fold 6. The iPhone was just so.... simple? Not necessarily a bad thing, but it felt like there was very little there for how much it costs. Also, the Fold feels way faster. It might be due to animations, but the fold felt like it was always loading stuff faster. In the end, I kept the fold. The battery life on the iPhone was absolutely ABSURD though
From a zfold 3 pre order customer to someone that got a zfold 6 only due to me breaking the back glass and external display due to shall we say extra rough use, i have always been impressed with the samsung foldables I will be honest I am a long time samsung user also, but use iphonest as work phones and have since the iphone 11 pro series. Fold six is phenomenal. The only thing I could complain about is the removal of the fingerprint sensor gestures, but that was done on the fold fives. These phones are expensive and not for everyone but for those willing to pay the entry fee you get a luxury device that does last the time samsung will support updates (my fold three was and still does recive the current updates) and the fold six for example will habe atleast 7 years of software updates with 1tb of storage... i will not and do not have to update for at least a decade unless I break it loose it or and really wowed by a new device released. They are fully worth it whether you're getting the newest foldable or not. And as for the build quality dust resistance doesnt mean shit on a device like this its build quality is premium and durable you will not break this unless you break every other phone ypu habe (aslon as you are awear the internal screen can be punctured and your not stupid with it) common sense will keep this device alive (my fold three internal screen is still mint even though the back and front of the external was cracked)
Apple’s orbit is hard to escape because the products are integrated well, the software is simple and accessible to all age ranges, and as you mentioned they offer a consistent experience. You know what you are getting with Apple as a consumer. If you want features then you go to Samsung. If you want the best AI & photos then you go to Google. If you want simplicity and ease of use then you go to Apple
man you nailed all the points that prevent me from leaving apple to Samsung. the only one I would add would be the ability to quickly copy and paste from the apple products. It's so convenient to copy on my iPhone and paste on my iPad or MacBook. And iCloud storage especially if you have family storage package
I got a z fold 5 and waiting on my 16 pro max to replace my current iPhone. Honestly I feel like galaxy phones got fun features, but iPhone is reliable for what it does right like face recognition, smoothness with apps, copying codes and stuff when they come from text. It’s the simple things you’ll see convenient with iPhone you don’t get with Samsung. At least that’s my experience. Apps like twitter got a slight delay when posting and you can’t swipe back like iPhone. You gotta do it from the edge of the screen. Not a big deal, but again that’s the things you’ll notice. I love my z fold though. It’s like having a tablet on hand. I don’t like how i miss so many messages on the z fold. iPhone shows notifications on the screen when locked. Z fold stays dark. You gotta go check for them. Enough of my rambling. Hope this helps.
Really cool vid bro! You're script is fire and you almost made me regret upgrading from my Note 9 to the S24 Ultra. A foldable will very likely be my next phone after this one as it's developement would've come much farther in 3-5 years!
Hey thanks for this. Absolutely love your style of delivery. You're entertaining and enthusiastic which is very engaging. I have a Fold 5 after so many years of everything Apple. I love the Fold and like you find Clipboard so useful. I love the size of the Fold and can't see that I'd go back to Apple. Anyway love what you're doing.
@@CJKnowsTECHThank you brotha. Big fan of your reviews. Been subscribed to you for a couple of years. You gonna be droppin' merch soon? Hoodies, beanies, hats... Etc?
I am switching back and forth for direct experience. I left Fold 4 and back to Fold 5, because of battery drain. It is such perfect phone.... Security, you now learned the trick, so you should be good to go for every phone...
Honestly, my 20yr old daughter uses Whatsapp on her iPhone 15 more than iMessage, we're in Texas too. My son's use is mostly discord with his buddies while on iPhone 15. My wife WILL NOT! Relent in her iMessage use in her 15Pro. I'm just kickin' back with my 24 Ultra waiting for them to update tomorrow to iOS 18 just so they'll get RCS in iMessage, but it doesn't seem to really matter, they mostly use other communication apps. Anyways, im thinking about trading in my 15PM for a Samsung fold 6 next year.
I’ve been Samsung since the Galaxy 2, had a couple of hits at the iPhone but hate the OS, same as the OS for the iPod. Finally had a hit at the Fold 6 even though it still had obvious problems. Do I regret my decision? Absolutely not. For me there is things that need to be fixed but the zFold 6 is Sweet!
Been using my Iphone for 9 years now and switched to the zfold last week, I have to say I love it. I however switched back to my Iphone because I feel locked in at this point. I have my apple watch and honestly if it weren't for that I would probably switch, but I am paying for these devices monthly right now and it makes no financial sense to add a android watch on top of what I'm paying for the apple watch. The apple watch would literally be useless without the iPhone. The only thing that would allow me to not be locked into apple is having a lot more money to use on these devices. It's unfortunate too because I actually really enjoy the foldable tech from my limited experience I had with the Zfold last week. (I returned the phone to switch to my iPhone 14 pro max). At this point I may as well wait for Apple to release a foldable if that ever happens.
I recently changed from iPhone (9 years) and went to the fold 6 wonderful experience what caused me to return it was the battery life, will deplete the battery to the point where you could see in real time as the battery was being consumed.
@@samueltheoriginalas usual it depends from the usage. I don't play games on my phone so i cannot tell you how that is like, but use my phone like a full-time digital device for everything I do outside of the work laptop. I usually get 10 hours of SoT, and that sentiment is mostly shared with the rest of the fold community on reddit.
I have never enjoyed any android phone I have used and won’t likely ever go back but I can see the appeal to others … the thing just like the Mac vs PC debate it’s a personal choice it’s all down to personal preference
i just got the z fold 6 and absolutely if apple was smart they should abandon the mini line and make a fold series no ? like i never used another phone beside apple and using the z fold 6 for month like i couldnt ask for nothing more expect samsung should make it wider and the box feeling with the navy color it beautiful. and samsung got deals and discount i chose navy because it was $500 off as well lol and $400 off without a trade in and they got program for education , military , heathcare workers too. I dont like how maps dont work on the lock screen and the little things apple has. Im not a big camera video person so that okay for me as long as it works. But i dont see myself going back to apple unless its a fold series, fuck a fllp phone too.
Great video! I love the iPhone and the Apple ecosystem! 🔥 But I’m glad that there are other phone/ecosystem options out there. Choose what you want and enjoy it! 😊
Nice, balanced presentation. Having missed out only on 2 iPhone models, I still grab an Android from time to time, usually the Note / Ultra series. Last time, I gave the Fold 4 a shot, and it has been a great experience overall. Too bad that Samsung is basically turning right into Apple, though. It's the same scheme of minute, evolutional updates and locking you into their ecosystem, just with non-existent support and a more fragmented experience. At this point, I really have no idea where my journey is gonna take me.
I still have my Galaxy device, but I don't like that a few versions ago, Samsung took away the ability to use custom alert notifications/sounds for individual apps.
Try Microsoft swiftkey keyboard on the z fold 6. Create an account so the predictive text can learn how you type. Then change the gestures feature to swipe left to delete the previous word. That will really transform your typing experience on the fold 6. One thumb on the cover. Two Thumbs on the inner! It is how this phone was designed to work.
I switched from Apple ( iPhone 13 Pro Max ), didn't want to purchase the same phone again. Now I have the Z Fold 5, you couldn't pay me to go back to Apple ever again.
I had nearly every iPhone until the 13 Pro Max. Then Jumped to the Fold 3 and now the Fold 5. I'm never looking back.
You will after Apple reveals foldable))

Facts the smartphone world has been very stagnant lately
I'm sorry but the Galaxy Watch ultra is by far better than my Apple Watch 9....I love the way it looks and the operation.
Hope you're enjoying it as your Apple Ultra will be THE EXACT SAME FOR YEARS TO COME! 😂
@@CMLovelaceI have a Galaxy watch ultra
From a zfold 3 pre order customer to someone that got a zfold 6 only due to me breaking the back glass and external display due to shall we say extra rough use, i have always been impressed with the samsung foldables I will be honest I am a long time samsung user also, but use iphonest as work phones and have since the iphone 11 pro series. Fold six is phenomenal. The only thing I could complain about is the removal of the fingerprint sensor gestures, but that was done on the fold fives. These phones are expensive and not for everyone but for those willing to pay the entry fee you get a luxury device that does last the time samsung will support updates (my fold three was and still does recive the current updates) and the fold six for example will habe atleast 7 years of software updates with 1tb of storage... i will not and do not have to update for at least a decade unless I break it loose it or and really wowed by a new device released. They are fully worth it whether you're getting the newest foldable or not. And as for the build quality dust resistance doesnt mean shit on a device like this its build quality is premium and durable you will not break this unless you break every other phone ypu habe (aslon as you are awear the internal screen can be punctured and your not stupid with it) common sense will keep this device alive (my fold three internal screen is still mint even though the back and front of the external was cracked)
Apple’s orbit is hard to escape because the products are integrated well, the software is simple and accessible to all age ranges, and as you mentioned they offer a consistent experience.
You know what you are getting with Apple as a consumer. If you want features then you go to Samsung. If you want the best AI & photos then you go to Google. If you want simplicity and ease of use then you go to Apple
CJ we all know you will be a Samsung Knight always 😂
man you nailed all the points that prevent me from leaving apple to Samsung. the only one I would add would be the ability to quickly copy and paste from the apple products. It's so convenient to copy on my iPhone and paste on my iPad or MacBook. And iCloud storage especially if you have family storage package
I mean, I don’t get bored with my phone so I kinda like it. I’m very grateful why I have.
That new Google pixel 9 pro XL is the best phone ive used to date in my opinion for my needs
Excellent video, I subscribed 🎉
I got a z fold 5 and waiting on my 16 pro max to replace my current iPhone. Honestly I feel like galaxy phones got fun features, but iPhone is reliable for what it does right like face recognition, smoothness with apps, copying codes and stuff when they come from text. It’s the simple things you’ll see convenient with iPhone you don’t get with Samsung. At least that’s my experience. Apps like twitter got a slight delay when posting and you can’t swipe back like iPhone. You gotta do it from the edge of the screen. Not a big deal, but again that’s the things you’ll notice. I love my z fold though. It’s like having a tablet on hand. I don’t like how i miss so many messages on the z fold. iPhone shows notifications on the screen when locked. Z fold stays dark. You gotta go check for them. Enough of my rambling. Hope this helps.
Z fold 6 looks amazing i’m still thinking about getting one and leaving mt iphone behind… i won’t miss Imessage but for sure i’ll miss Faceid.
FaceID is so good
Really cool vid bro! You're script is fire and you almost made me regret upgrading from my Note 9 to the S24 Ultra. A foldable will very likely be my next phone after this one as it's developement would've come much farther in 3-5 years!
Great video. That clipboard so clutch. Apple definitely needs
Hey thanks for this. Absolutely love your style of delivery. You're entertaining and enthusiastic which is very engaging. I have a Fold 5 after so many years of everything Apple. I love the Fold and like you find Clipboard so useful. I love the size of the Fold and can't see that I'd go back to Apple. Anyway love what you're doing.
I found a zfold 5 unlocked at the pawnshop i work at 380$ with my discount 303$ so ill be making the switch this year
Is there an app that you use for your wallpapers on your fold?
Nova Launcher / Crayon Icon Pack / Custom widget (video coming soon)
@@CJKnowsTECHThank you brotha. Big fan of your reviews. Been subscribed to you for a couple of years. You gonna be droppin' merch soon? Hoodies, beanies, hats... Etc?
Im back on an older samsung flip and i love it
I am switching back and forth for direct experience. I left Fold 4 and back to Fold 5, because of battery drain. It is such perfect phone....
Security, you now learned the trick, so you should be good to go for every phone...
Honestly, my 20yr old daughter uses Whatsapp on her iPhone 15 more than iMessage, we're in Texas too. My son's use is mostly discord with his buddies while on iPhone 15. My wife WILL NOT! Relent in her iMessage use in her 15Pro. I'm just kickin' back with my 24 Ultra waiting for them to update tomorrow to iOS 18 just so they'll get RCS in iMessage, but it doesn't seem to really matter, they mostly use other communication apps. Anyways, im thinking about trading in my 15PM for a Samsung fold 6 next year.
I’ve been Samsung since the Galaxy 2, had a couple of hits at the iPhone but hate the OS, same as the OS for the iPod. Finally had a hit at the Fold 6 even though it still had obvious problems. Do I regret my decision? Absolutely not. For me there is things that need to be fixed but the zFold 6 is Sweet!
i got a pixel 9 fold and its amazing i love it
Been using my Iphone for 9 years now and switched to the zfold last week, I have to say I love it. I however switched back to my Iphone because I feel locked in at this point. I have my apple watch and honestly if it weren't for that I would probably switch, but I am paying for these devices monthly right now and it makes no financial sense to add a android watch on top of what I'm paying for the apple watch. The apple watch would literally be useless without the iPhone.
The only thing that would allow me to not be locked into apple is having a lot more money to use on these devices. It's unfortunate too because I actually really enjoy the foldable tech from my limited experience I had with the Zfold last week. (I returned the phone to switch to my iPhone 14 pro max). At this point I may as well wait for Apple to release a foldable if that ever happens.
What kind of case and screen protector is the best for the phone?
What is the game controller for the zfold great vlog review btw
Great video fr fr. That home screen tho 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks. Nova Launcher / Crayon Icon Pack / Custom widget (video coming soon)
I have and use both on the daily. I live your videos
I recently changed from iPhone (9 years) and went to the fold 6 wonderful experience what caused me to return it was the battery life, will deplete the battery to the point where you could see in real time as the battery was being consumed.
Yeah, battery life isn't quite there with iPhone 😂
@@CJKnowsTECH I think the person was saying that the Z fold 6 battery was depleting quickly, is this true?
@@samueltheoriginalas usual it depends from the usage. I don't play games on my phone so i cannot tell you how that is like, but use my phone like a full-time digital device for everything I do outside of the work laptop. I usually get 10 hours of SoT, and that sentiment is mostly shared with the rest of the fold community on reddit.
I have never enjoyed any android phone I have used and won’t likely ever go back but I can see the appeal to others … the thing just like the Mac vs PC debate it’s a personal choice it’s all down to personal preference
It's all preference
You're pretty honest about the features between both. Can you make a trip to CN and compare the new Huawei tri-fold phone to the iPhone?
i just got the z fold 6 and absolutely if apple was smart they should abandon the mini line and make a fold series no ? like i never used another phone beside apple and using the z fold 6 for month like i couldnt ask for nothing more expect samsung should make it wider and the box feeling with the navy color it beautiful. and samsung got deals and discount i chose navy because it was $500 off as well lol and $400 off without a trade in and they got program for education , military , heathcare workers too. I dont like how maps dont work on the lock screen and the little things apple has. Im not a big camera video person so that okay for me as long as it works. But i dont see myself going back to apple unless its a fold series, fuck a fllp phone too.
@CJKnowsTECH How do you like that Pitaka case on your Fold 6? Does it have Magnet to put a kickstand on?
I like it. It has MagSafe
Jumped to foldable after black friday. Ill always want the option for a bigger screen. I'm just on my phone too much to not have it like this!
Great video!
I love the iPhone and the Apple ecosystem! 🔥
But I’m glad that there are other phone/ecosystem options out there. Choose what you want and enjoy it! 😊
Right
@@Prxavi facts
Me too.. I’ve had Apple devices since 2011. I’m never changing to android ever ‼️
Nice, balanced presentation. Having missed out only on 2 iPhone models, I still grab an Android from time to time, usually the Note / Ultra series. Last time, I gave the Fold 4 a shot, and it has been a great experience overall. Too bad that Samsung is basically turning right into Apple, though. It's the same scheme of minute, evolutional updates and locking you into their ecosystem, just with non-existent support and a more fragmented experience. At this point, I really have no idea where my journey is gonna take me.
15 years of apple, and then I swapped to the Zfold5. I can't imagine going back.
I still have my Galaxy device, but I don't like that a few versions ago, Samsung took away the ability to use custom alert notifications/sounds for individual apps.
IPhone and ipad mini in 1. Beautiful. This sums it up.
What's the theme you have again g?
Nova Launcher / Crayon Icon Pack / Custom widget (video coming soon)
@CJKnowsTECH What wallpaper do you use? Is it custom?
Try Microsoft swiftkey keyboard on the z fold 6. Create an account so the predictive text can learn how you type. Then change the gestures feature to swipe left to delete the previous word. That will really transform your typing experience on the fold 6. One thumb on the cover. Two Thumbs on the inner! It is how this phone was designed to work.
I switched from Apple ( iPhone 13 Pro Max ), didn't want to purchase the same phone again.
Now I have the Z Fold 5, you couldn't pay me to go back to Apple ever again.
Thank you for your review, itd very helpful
Great video Bro. Appreciate the very clear presentation.
PS, what watch is that?
Thanks. Galaxy Watch Ultra
