There are two other areas Samsung is counting on. Availability and brand recognition. Average consumers in the US would be hesitant to buy $1500+ phones from brands they don't know. These are not techies that binge tech tube videos and get into the comment section. However, they are a larger percentage of buyers.
Design wise and software wise, Fold 6, but the cameras, gotta give it to the X Fold 3 Pro... I pray Samsung will add new camera hardware to their S lineup and Z Fold/Flip lineup
I got a feeling they are saving the new camera upgrade for next year fold7 along side the new snapdragon 8 gen 4 with major in house design improvements
Vivo x fold 3 pro has better hardware. Samsung software may be more polished for those heavily reliant on Google apps. And more AI stuff. But hardware? No context. Vivo thinner lighter larger battery better cameras
Samsung application has been great for long long time ago but for most of the user, we rarely use it. Sure most of us will try it at the begining but that's it. For teenagers maybe they will enjoy it much longer if they can get one.
The Galaxy Ultra Watch looks nice, but I stopped using Samsung watches the moment they stopped making them compatible with IOS. I now use Huawei watches on my iPhone and Android.
if they come out with a generative ai background video that would be amazing like having your own studio/make believe set on a low budget production. that would be amazing!
You missed a few advantages the Z fold has over the Chinese foldables, ones that are really important to me. One, they're actually available where I live. Two, Samsung's promos are such that you can upgrade every two years and spend in the ballpark of $600 - you're hard-pressed to find a flagship _slab_ in America you can pay $25 a month for to keep upgraded every other year. In the foldable market of the USA, Samsung is the cheapest once all the promos are applied. Three, something actually about the hardware itself: the horizontally-compact design makes it feel great in one hand, both to hold and to swipe type on. All the Chinese folds are super wide, and I am not a fan.
The US market could be better, as it has poor consumer choice, basically Samsung's predatory pricing to beat out Apple and its rivals. They effectively banned most Chinese phones, and because Samsung stated it wanted to take over the US market, they offered deals and trade-ins not seen elsewhere. For example, in the UK, we only get £550 trade-in for the Fold 5, which cost £1750 a year ago. So, I rarely pay attention to US comments as they do not reflect what happens in the rest of the world.
Also samsung is the only company that has REAL software for foldables. I don't think chinese foldables could come close to samsung's software any time soon. The dust and water resistance also plays a huge role.
@andyH_England Outside of the US and a few select other countries, Z Fold is a bad pick. Fair enough on that. But in the USA, which is one of the biggest markets for foldables, it's the best deal. Samsung has the best promos. You will spend less on entering or staying inside the Z Fold lineup than you will on any other fold offered here.
I've seen and touch the fold 6 and flip 6 in SM MALL It's really good. The fold 6 looks expensive. The screen is very bright and boxy. It looks small in may hands, but when I saw it in some reviews here it looks bigger in there hands.😂😅
Not sure why everyone expects revolutionary changes every year. Every year is about refinement. It's why I haven't even touched folds until this year. I'm finally going for it and getting the six. After waiting since the first one, which looked horrendous, this is the design I'd go for.
@@CharlesVanexX When there's improvements that can be made, why not do them? The price is higher than last year for nearly no difference. Why don't they stop selling yearly updates altogether then? Why don't they just charge more and more each year for just software updates? Sounds like that's the kind of future you want.
The Fold 6 is probably the only "good enough for everybody" foldable in town. Too bad for the price hike. Guess it's another 3 years of waiting for this to go down.
5:18 you will agree with me that all major smartphone makers are going to integrate all the AI features you see on Samsung and beyond. And those major smartphone makers include the Chinese international version phones. Oppo has already started
good perspective review .Samsung isn't trying to compete w Chinese,high energy, quality phones .It remains using gimmick, promotion to keep the fans for as long as they can ,hoping they can't access w other phones .Sad to see the screen size & cam. still little/no improvement ,which is a major miss .Thanks 4 great practical value review .btw ,watch looks ugly ,toy like chunky,ladies will run away ,even my kid look away
Hi 👋🏽 In one of your upcoming videos, can you compare the screen width of the Fold 6 to that of the Sony Xperia V, iPhone 15 Pro, S24 vanilla and especially Asus Zenphone 10 🙏🏽 Apparently, the external display of the Fold 6 has the same aspect ratio as that of the older Xperia (V), can anyone confirm? If so, it would be difficult and hypocritical to continue to criticize the Fold 6's outer display, when for years the Xperia has been praised for that 🤷🏽♂️. And contrary to what many people say and think, I think the external screen of the Fold 6 is now wide enough (almost as wide as Asus Zenphone 10, iPhone 15 Pro or S24 screen), on the other hand that the battery has not increased to at least 4800-5000mAh and the photo sensors have not evolved, it's criminal !!!
Give Thanks for Samsung continue to invest into the foldable type hardware, combined with Chinese manufacturers will continue to make foldables a lasting type.
The fold 5s is what this should be. The fold 6 has the worst cameras in the fold class (other then the magic V2). Yet costs the most by quite a bit. Am anxiously awaiting the pixel fold 2 and more so the honor magicV3
Samsung is the best (incompetence/disappointing your fan base). Thinner edges, a New SnpDrg and a new box designe. They didn't even bother improving the quality of the screen to hide that trash 4mpx camera. Samsung is done. That price is outrageous and this phone is not worthy at all.
It is an incremental update to Fold 5 but still the best overall foldable you can buy. chinese foldables are still lagging in built quality, advanced pen support and built in capbilities/software.
Have you ever used a Chinese phone? I have, and they have high QC and better hardware than the Galaxy Fold. That hardware includes superior cameras, larger high-density batteries, faster charging, better glass protection, and more reliable hinges ( though Fold 6 has a new hinge to counter breaks from Fold 5). Software is not as important as it can easily be added post-sale, whereas hardware is for life.
To all those who criticize Samsung's merchant policy, I just tell them to try Chinese brands that offer global products. When Samsung will come down from its pedestal it will perhaps start to react... Tired of being taken for cash cows....
The fold ...the smaller one looks crap compared to Motorolas new one lol the Samsung one looks cheap with the smaller screen being...smaller and not having it go beyond the camera lenses
Outer screen still too narrow, small battery, slower charge times, heavier, outdated cameras. Underwhelming and over priced. It only wins in software. I'd still prefer to get the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro Chinese Rom.
I'm a Samsung fan, but the Fold 6 is so uninspiring and lacks innovation. Going to pass on this again. Huawei has been eating up Samsung's market share and they'll continue to with the way Samsung is operating
you know what is the problem? definitely Chinese foldables make a way better hardware than Samsung, but when it comes to software they are not that great.. and do not provide long-term support and system updates .. that is exactly what is keeping me from not buying a Chinese foldable phone.. If Chinese phones pay more attention to their software and provide what samsung provides they will erase samsung completely from folding phones industry
The Samsung Fold 6 is GARBAGE 🗑🚮🗑🚮 !!!!! All outdated hardware and its practically the same phone as Fold 5. NO ONE CARES THAT FOLD 6 IS LIGHTER WEIGHT THAN FOLD 5 !!!! I'm buying the VIVO X FOLD 3 instead !!!
Only channel that shows fold5 vs fold6 in size. The best

I agree. It is what it is. But if we keeping it real, Samsung's foldable hardware now isn't even better than xiaomis foldable hardware from last year.
Please do comparison video between Galaxy z fold 6 VS vivo x fold 3 pro
We would like it very much thank you very much
I just feel good with Samsung Foldable phone when this 6th Gen came out. Great job, Samsung!
Waiting for honor magic V3. The samsung z fold 6 is just a small incremental upgrade.
That interpretation app looks like it could be very useful when travelling abroad!
Just woke up to see notification on this Samsung review ❤
Samsung: this gen AI image is going to be state of the art
Reviewer: this feature is good to troll friends
Design wise and software wise, Fold 6, but the cameras, gotta give it to the X Fold 3 Pro... I pray Samsung will add new camera hardware to their S lineup and Z Fold/Flip lineup
I got a feeling they are saving the new camera upgrade for next year fold7 along side the new snapdragon 8 gen 4 with major in house design improvements
Displays, haptics and speakers go to the fold 6 aswell
Please make an in-depth comparison video between the Samsung Fold 6 VS Vivo X-Fold 3 Pro
THANKS
- saw your video on UA-cam feeds
- tap it
- smile
That Ultra Watch is a beast. Hope the next version has the rotating bezel on top. Good stuff Samsung
Amazing hand on video keep it up as always Ben's brother
Wonder if flip got dex support when they improved the cooling.
So, Ben, let me know, vivo x fold 3 pro or z fold 6 ? I'm coming from z fold 4
Vivo x fold 3 pro has better hardware. Samsung software may be more polished for those heavily reliant on Google apps. And more AI stuff. But hardware? No context. Vivo thinner lighter larger battery better cameras
@@bensgadgetreviews thank you Ben ! I ended up bought the x fold 3 pro. Thank you for your video and kind reply.
They should've color coated the camera circles they same way they did with the flip 6 which looks really good
What's that crease. Like?

I'm more hype up for Honor V Fold 3.
the chinese can keep it.
Ok.
@@ofensatul Same song can't keep up to the competition. Deal with that.
Chinese foldables are more expensive and still not better
This translator feature will be very helpful.
Do a video on the Magic v3 fast please!
I love the inner screen however, i wish the outer screen was bigger and wider

Chinese foldables are disposable. It's not worth it even if it's half the price (it's not, Chinese foldables are more expensive)
@@johnsecret1318Recent Chinese foldables have ip rating and OnePlus software is excellent

Fold 6 has a new ultra wide sensor and supposedly much better processing which should lead to better photos all around
Where are the speaker grills on the fold 6????
The little slit on top and bottom
Goddamn, what even is exciting about Samsung's releases nowadays?
Absolutely nothing...samsung is the new apple
Not sure why everyone expects revolutionary changes every year. Every year is about refinement. It's why I haven't even touched folds until this year. I'm finally going for it and getting the six.

@@CharlesVanexX I dont think a wider screen and class leading cameras are revolutionary they are reasonable changes

Question is will the foldable screen last for 7 years !???!

Does it support Spen on both screens?
No apparently pen does not work on front screen bit surprised about that.
good perspective review .Samsung isn't trying to compete w Chinese,high energy, quality phones .It remains using gimmick, promotion to keep the fans for as long as they can ,hoping they can't access w other phones .Sad to see the screen size & cam. still little/no improvement ,which is a major miss .Thanks 4 great practical value review .btw ,watch looks ugly ,toy like chunky,ladies will run away ,even my kid look away
I m very disappointed with the fold 6 is really hoped that they would make front screen wider but they have not will not gonna update from fold 4
Benny G!!! Let's go!
That generative image addition looks super slow.
Got to be kidding me Samsung??!! Seriously...same outdated design with the fold?!! I mean this is serious!!
Same camera? I'll wait for the fold 7
Ok.
how is samsung not tired of releasing the same phone for 4 years straight

Ok.
❤👍
AI picture feature is DOPE!
WHEN YOU GOING TO DO INFINIX BMW PHONE
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
circle to search is overrated. They just keep the new features for future products meanwhile those are on Chinese smartphones for years
Vivo foldable is the best
The best spyware device on the market?
That camera module looks so cheap 🤦
The Ultra watch White version is fire.
Not at all
Not for me, really loving the new camera module, maybe this just means not in your taste
They don't look cheap but your comment is 😊
The fact that samsung relying on Google and USA companies to help it's software it tell a lot unlike chinees companies who rely on their selves
I miss Huawei in the global market 😢
Goodluck!!
It is an incremental update to Fold 5 but still the best overall foldable you can buy. chinese foldables are still lagging in built quality, advanced pen support and built in capbilities/software.
I agree
Chinese foldables are not lacking in hardware build quality. They premium as hell.
Best overall what ??
You've used ALL foldables ?
Smh.
Have you ever used a Chinese phone? I have, and they have high QC and better hardware than the Galaxy Fold. That hardware includes superior cameras, larger high-density batteries, faster charging, better glass protection, and more reliable hinges ( though Fold 6 has a new hinge to counter breaks from Fold 5). Software is not as important as it can easily be added post-sale, whereas hardware is for life.
I totally agree with this. Samsung is untouchable in software and quality.
Just give us a a Foldable with a 22:9, 6.8 inch outer screen so we can finally enjoy watching 16:9 content on the inner screen. 🤤
To all those who criticize Samsung's merchant policy, I just tell them to try Chinese brands that offer global products. When Samsung will come down from its pedestal it will perhaps start to react... Tired of being taken for cash cows....
I like the Chinese brands better there hardware is top notch.
Shame their software is Shite
I see Same Same
Samsung releases are so boring now. its like they are not innovating anymore 😢
god forbids the heck can't they figure out something with that ugly crease on the center 😂
The fold ...the smaller one looks crap compared to Motorolas new one lol the Samsung one looks cheap with the smaller screen being...smaller and not having it go beyond the camera lenses
Samsung and Apple they doing nothing when it comes to design
Fold 6 is the best foldable software wise
Hm... The honor magic V3 and the xiaomi mix fold 4 will be better and less expensive 😊
Up
Outer screen still too narrow, small battery, slower charge times, heavier, outdated cameras. Underwhelming and over priced. It only wins in software. I'd still prefer to get the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro Chinese Rom.
Z phone still has the central screen ravine.

NO ONE but, idiots care about the AI features on the Fold 6 😂😂
The z fold 6 isnt that exciting imo. The AI aspect is better. But no better hardware other than the usual.
Lame
Your thumbnails are not eye catchy. You should be more careful about it
The cover display looks as narrow as before, and it's still thick 🫤
hope your all healthy and safe ben says except for trump lol
Fold 6 cant even match my Honor Magic V2
They should've color coated the camera circles they same way they did with the flip 6 which looks really good
