Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6: Refined, not redefined 

With no cameras and battery upgrades, The fold 5 is a better buy.

Thanks, this convinced me to order a Oneplus Open

Finally had hands on with the Fold in the store. While the small hardware changes are nice and creates a different feel in hand, I hate the fact that there aren’t any major upgrade in the inside. I pre-ordered one, but I just wish they’d make it a much more substantial change in the upgrades.

I’m digging the new design and improved water protection. Just wish they at least matched the camera performance of the OnePlus Open.

What I like about the Z Fold is that - it leans into the fact it's a foldable, and its outer screen is better optimized to use in one hand than a typical phone is. If I want a wider screen I'll open it, and if I'm not opening it it's because I don't want a wider screen right now - resources are pumped into durability and reliability every year, rather than into being flashy - since the design language stays more or less the same each time, I don't need to worry about an aspect of the phone that I like going away next time I upgrade So refinements that don't change much over the last gen? That's perfect for me. I'm not upgrading my phone every year anyway, and those refinements add up. I'm upgrading unusually quickly this year (have a Fold 4, and that model was a bad year of durability- getting off the ship before my trade in value sinks to the bottom of the ocean), and even with only two years of refinements I'm looking forward to my phone being less of a gimmick/novelty. Fold 4 is bulky, a little unwieldy, and I'm constantly mildly worried it's gonna self destruct. The 5 and 6 didn't change much, but what they did change was major strides towards making those things not the case.

Got fold 5, and the front screen is just too narrow to use comfortably. Was hoping the 6 would correct this. For me, it's a 5 with a few very minor changes. Very disappointed.

The price is still high and nothing new with these phone

Coming from the Fold 3, the changes from the 4, 5 and now 6 is worth it for the upgrade now

I've had Z Folds 2-5, def a fan. This time, I'm holding out for the rumored Z Fold 6 slim / ultra.

Waiting for flossy Carter's review on it and waiting for the new one plus open

Whats new... Price... +20%

They didnt even give the fold the gorilla armor....thats a deal breaker...ive had my s24 ultra for 6 months and not a single scratch. Plus the anti reflective nature is absurdly good.

Awesome

6 Generations of the same phone designs but of course gimmick AI features are more important.

How long does those screens last? Heard after a year or so issues start to develop

I like the refinements this time with the Fold 6. Thinner, bigger front screen and the silver is very nice. I also like the squared off design. The rounded nonsense always looked forced and out of place. No, it’s not a big upgrade or redesign, but it does solve the little issues of prior models. I’ll definitely preorder

Shame that they don't include cooler colors for the fold series. Been with it since the fold 2 and always end up with that blue color

As a person who genuinely prefer compact phones and one handed use, i like that samsung went wider but still retained a "narrower than normal" screen

I'll hold on to my Zf4. Although it's good to know Samsung still offering crazy value towards a trade in.

I have one old S ultra 23 lying around somewhere, so I’ll use that to trade in and pay with Affirm , am still keeping my S 24ultral

Has the crafted black still got the glass back and smooth

fold 6 is an absolute nothingburger of an "update"

No built in S pen sucks

The yellow does look pretty good.

Still no s pen (Z Pen?) slot to actually store it in the device and not some silly cover

I still have the Z fold 4. They need to work more on water resistance. 😑

Just preordered this with s24 utra trade in package, just ignored the haters and no way I will buy a chinese phones😂

So it's basically the same phone , but Samsung told the influencers to focus on weight and size. Got it. I'm going to go weigh my watch, with a new ergonomic weight band. It has more holes and different colors. Maybe a titanium lock 😂. 1) the front screen should be larger. 2) for the price, it should have the S23 Ultra cameras. I'll deal with a slightly thicker phone for better cameras. 3) stop pushing AI as a feature. Phones from years ago can run AI.

Just preordered it Fold.6 It cost.650 With a fold 5 trade in

I think I'd take the OnePlus open over the fold. Slightly disappointed

Meh, the Honor Magic V3 looks more exciting

I was on the fence to upgrade from my fold 4. But with pre-order and trade in I can get it for 750 bucks. Not too bad

I thought they wanted to make it wider? Why is it the same size AGAIN 🙄

Can anyone check if youtube "playback in feeds" feature available on samsung fold devices?

still the screen would suffer from horizontal lines within a year...

im a samsung guy, but im getting the vivo x fold 3 pro... that is larger and it comes with a charger too.. for the same price

I have a fold 4 is there any difference to the fold 6

If Australia gets the google Pixel 9 pro fold, I will get that instead.

I been iPhone user for a long time but damn this phone makes me want to switch

Sounds like a huge missed opportunity on Samsung part. Either way hopefully I'd be able to snag a fold 5 on price drop once these release

Well better wait for good Swappa deals 😅 that price is so steep

Instead of adding additional AI features they could've fixed wireless charging and fixed the hinge

I'll just order a new case for my fold 5, call it a day and no to fold 6.

Wait for fold 7. Get a s24 ultra. This phone is not a big enough upgrade. Although nice. It needs better battery and 2 mm wider screen.

Stop whinging bout the price you plebs, Im a roofer and this phone has changed the way i run my business. I dont need a laptop or tablet anymore because this phone is 2in1. Id pay 5k for this phone just for the convenience.

too many complainers are sounding off in the comments section

I will wait for flossy Carter's review because most of these tech reviewers are not telling the truth. The only real upgrade was the price. There's a big difference between slightly larger outer frame and larger. Samsung is no longer a company I trust or will buy from when it comes to cell phones

Nice! First commet. Nice looking phones but nothing revolutionary technology wise. They are lazy because of a good support and brand name.

Why does Samsung have wireless charging if it doesn't even work great if you charge it the phone gets too hot and might damage the battery

Foldable screens always have and always will have annoying center lines and split with repeated folding. It's the basic physics of molecular structures. Learn your physics and chemistry. Like constant dripping water creates holes in solid rock over time. So repeated folding will split a screen. Samsung knows these folding screens will fail much sooner than a traditional touch screen. That's why they are producing and pushing them. My neighbor's folding phone screen failed within a year.

Aspect ratio of the inner display still cuts down the size of videos to be the same as a typical large screen slab phone.

i just cant afford it. only in my dreams.

I've seen the other reviews that the inner camera in Z Fold 6 still trash. For that price, I'll get an iPad mini and Z Flip 6

After 6 years have folds and they still can't get the basic size and shape right it's like a small child's toy....

Very disappointed with everything Samsung released during this event. I thinking of going to an iphone finally if the s25 ultra is as bad as these.

OnePlus open

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="443">7:23</a> it's impressive that the AI was able to decipher that drawing as a bird and not a rectangle-tailed mini T-rex

Lol..if you use the phone for longggg time, then you will know how terrible those sharp edges grip on your hand.

The fold 6 is still far too narrow and far too small Samsung have had 6 years now and they still can't get the basic things right, it's about time I started to sack people....

Why would anybody want to pay this much money when it is far too narrow and far too small.....

What a disappointment. I can only hope the OnePlus Open 2 nails it.

1st comment!

Still prefer my Oppo Find N3. Fold 6 looks so bulky

Honor magic v2 fold is still the better phone

Brokies are mad 😆 🤣 😂

Nothing new, just a price increase.

Yawn Samsung

All they're giving us is crappy AI which is completely fake and for children....

I've been waiting for these to lose the butt-ugly crease. I'm still waiting...

Just buy the Oneplus Open and be happy.

Still no S Pen

SS should have reduced the price, not increased 🫣
