I just got my fold 6 yesterday, and the specs and video reviews really dont do it justice. It really is a phone you need to spend time with in person. The crease is 90% gone. Its very barely visible even on a white/light scene when watching content i need to view it at an extremely unrealistic viewing angle to see it clearly and you only just barely feel it even compared to the fold 5. The front screen may only be .1 milimiter larger, but it feels much bigger than that, and 100 percent more comfortable to type on. The square edges really make it look and feel much bigger, and the hinge is no longer part of the front screen, where you can feel it or see it when doing anything on the left side, making it feel much larger as a result. It feels like you're holding a normal slab phone, especially if you go caseless or use a very minimal case. The weight also makes this phone feel fantastic and comfortable to hold. The fact that there are absolutely no gaps makes it feel even more complete and less bulky than even the 5. Honestly, if next year samsung can increase the battery and make it even a milimeter thinner with better resolution screens, it will be a fantastic phone even without an internal s pen slot (lets be real while it would be nice to have almost all of the reviwers have praised phones over samsung that have no pen support at all). Long story short, even if you have the 5, it's a worthy upgrade, especially if you use it a ton unfolded. There is definitely a noticeable difference, and it DOES feel like a different phone.
@TechtabletsАй бұрын
Yes the crease is better and like I said in my video when you use it you don’t see it only if you go looking for it you will. But yes coming from the Fold 5 not worth it really but the 4 and below 💯
@SayanOfRagnarokАй бұрын
@Techtablets with all do respect I don't agree especially not if you're in any country that gets crazy trade in deals that samsung offers. I got mine for 424 dollars. There aren't many flagship phones you can get at that price point day one. I also think there is more to a phone than just specs on paper. Is this phone going to be pushing the bleeding edge of folds? No. But it does feel way more polished than any other samsung fold. Just the improvements to the hinge and weight distribution alone coupled with the better cooling and larger front screen make it feel way different. I've tried switching back to my 5, and my hand immediately knows the difference. If you use your phone for 10-15 hours straight for work or productivity like I do, then it is definitely a noticeable upgrade. If you rarely use your phone any way or only do light browsing or just keep it in your pocket most of the day, then no, it's not worth it. It just depends on your use case. If you're a heavy user and you dont want to switch to a chinese brand or a different ecosystem to get the best hardware, i think it's an upgrade for core users who want the reliability of the samsung brand theyre used to. The internals might not be something to write home about, but the design improvements really increase the usability and feel of the phone substantially if you use the phone a lot. I'm currently caseless and it doesn't heat up anywhere close to the 4 or 5 which made it uncomfortable to hold on your lap or in hand even with a case. Dont buy it if you're paying full price unless you're loaded. But if they offer you a deal, I think it's worth it

Interesting review. Like many other reviewers that parrot each other they focus on the features. Also, for some reason reviewers no longer test for call quality. Hmmm! a device that you actually talk and listen with, and no one actually thinks to test for that. Come on give us something even it is just the carrier that you have a plan with. That would be better than nothing. Sad state of review quality. The people that are going to buy the Fold are one of two categories. 1. They have plenty of money and $2k for a mobile device is not a problem, or 2. They are serious users that use a mobile device to run important aspects of their business or life. If you need security, communications storage, networking capability and running your business on cloud apps then the Fold 5 or 6 are great mobile tools. They give you enough screen real estate to get work done. I laugh at reviewers that scroll up and down and use that as a demonstration of the speed and overall performance of a mobile device. When will they get serious 🤣? However, the reason I use a Fold or a couple reasons: 1. Samsung build quality is superior to its competitors. I speak from practical experience. My criterion for that statement is that I have actually used my Fold and competitors' devices for over a year now. Samsung quality wins hands down. It is one thing to measure a phone while it is new and bright and shiny, but how is it 6 months or a year down the road? Most of these reviewers have limited vision and fail to give the phone an honest review after they have really used it for a while. 2. The other important aspect is when you do have an accident and you need it repaired quickly Samsung has so much more going for it. 1. They have company stores around the country. 2. Nearly all phone repair shops have inventory or quick access to Samsung parts. Other manufacturers, not so much. 3. Remember it is Samsung Electronics, they not only build mobile phones but a great variety of electronic devices. Manufacturing techniques, R&D, and other aspects of the organization go into helping Samsung family of products grow and get better. Judging by the lack of understanding as to what it takes to bring a solid mobile device to market, reviewers focus on what is easy and what their limited knowledge gives them vision for. Binging a device to market is a major undertaking for any organization. Just the hurdles that they have to overcome with government rules and regulations is staggering. Then they have to worry about protecting their IP. Not to mention the speed at which technology moves. Finally, you can get to the business of Sales, Marketing, Production and Support. To be honest I am surprised all manufactures do not move to a 2-year update. Most reviewers blather on about features and fail to look at the mobile device and company and judge it as a whole. As a consumer, how serious can you take a recommendation from someone that shows such lack of understanding🤨. Given that the Chinese makers are making inroads in the features race Samsung should be concerned. However, as a user of mobile devices, features are only one aspect of device ownership. Do you really believe that OnePlus, Oppo, Huawei, Vivo and so on have the network to really support their product as well as Samsung does theirs? When I look at the market Samsung has 2 real competitors in terms of complete sale and support. Apple and Google, and Google still has quality issues they need to overcome. As a consumer and a business owner I must look at all aspects of device ownership. When the Chinese competitors step up their game, I will gladly give them due consideration. Till then I say "Prove it" that you are a better mobile device.

Absolutely correct. I have used extensively my fold 3 for my office use. The device is meant for different purpose other than all reviewers are doing it. It helps a lot on the go productivity to taking multiple video calls or video meetings and working simultaneously. Email is smooth. Least to bother about high end camera or games or drawing picture. The target customers are different and certainly not for general mass . I am happy with fold 3 and still doing good. Few important things the call quality with automatic background noise suppression is better than any phone and antenna is really good for reception compared to other phone including iPhone, as I also use iPhone as secondary device. Obvious issue or downside is repair cost . For any repair whole phone needs to be dismantled and for inner screen, whole body needs to be changed. This makes the phone expensive to repair.

Great review! I'm really on the fence here. My Note 10+ is aging; I changed the battery a couple of years ago and extended its life a bit, but it's clearly nearing an end of life stage. The safe choice would just to go for an S24 Ultra, but I am genuinely aching to try something new, like a foldable. The Z Flip and the Razr 50 Ultra both look awesome (I tried the former in the store, and was pleasantly surprised by how solid it felt), and the Z Fold looks awesome too. Add the Oneplus Open to the equation, and there are just a few too many options. I multitask a lot and have been using my phone as my main device for a long time, so I think a foldable makes a lot of sense. But when I can buy an S24 Ultra for cheaper and get a tablet with it for free... I dunno. I just can't seem to agree with myself. 😅 Any input would be welcome tho.

I was literally thinking "man, when will TT review the Fold 6?" and comparing it to the Honor Magic v2 as you said it was the best foldable back then. Then a minute later this showed up. Do you think the v3 will trump this, considering the v2 was better than the Fold 5? Stylus is optional but good to have though.
@TechtabletsАй бұрын
Ah well perfect timing! V2 was the best and now the X Fold 3 I prefer over it which is newer. V3 i'm quite certain will have the best hardware, the software is the only real area now Samsung excels with their foldables, OneIU and DEX still hard to beat and yes the stylus support.

Personally I’m thrilled for Samsungs releases this year. I work at a carrier in the US and many iPhone users are considering switching to Samsung due to the playing ground being leveled. Between sleek design, RCS chat *big*, and comparable cameras it’s finally a personal preference rather than social preference. Personally trading in my old iPhone 6s for $800 off the fold (3yr contract) and keeping my 13 Pro to easily swap sims if I feel like I’m going somewhere my Fold6 will be in danger 😅 You nailed it at the end if you have a 3fold or earlier it’s absolutely worth upgrading. Users should be keeping their phones for 3 years.

@AlvinPSLАй бұрын
Another perspective... One advantage of getting a Samsung is that you can trade it in for a generous discount for a newer Samsung model down the road... you cannot do it with Chinese phones, there is not much value for such phones aftermarket. For example I just traded in my S23U for the Fold 6, paying only USD780 after all discount and trade-in... cheaper than all the Chinese Oppo, Xiaomi foldables... I used to go through specs with a microscope... but seriously, in daily use, you are not going to be bothered with saving a few mins over charging speed, or pixel peeping over difference in megapixel ...all you want is a reliable phone, with top software, security updates and a great resale value... not to mentioned DEX mode and SPen which are not found anywhere else...

If you have a fold 4,5, S24 Ultra or even S23 Ultra, you would be silly to "upgrade" to a Fold 6. The only case would be where you prefer foldable to slab, or vice versa. Stop buying devices with incremental, little to no tangible definitive improvements and companies will stop trying to milk you for the same re-shelled device annually. When this happens I bet you will see improvements in the next model. The fact that Samsung is charging MORE this year and the pre-order offers are actually worse for my region tells me all I need to know. I speak as someone who jumped between fold 3, 4, 5, S23U and now S24U. My honest opinion, the grass is not greener. The flagship is the S24U right now, it does what the Fold does better, bar the large screen which as a short daily commuter doesnt mean much for me as I travel on busy transport and always would have it in "candybar" mode. Honestly, get a flagship candybar phone, and get a decent tablet. Just my opinion.
@jermainemouzon4909Ай бұрын
I agree I always kept my F5 in candybar mode, and only used the inside screen at home mostly. I went back to the S24U for the battery life along with the camera mainly zoom. I never really cared about zoom, but it's nice to have when out and about if you need it.

If not for the fact that trade-in options are nearly Samsung or Apple exclusive here, I would not have considered the Fold 6. Battery life is the biggest concern. Even with their software management experience, the Samsung folds lag behind the rest in endurance, and they haven’t improved in years. Samsung doesn’t seem to feel pressured to compete yet. In addition, the outer screen is still too narrow for comfortable typing. Their best aspect is their dust proofing. Other phones have a higher failure rate from dust intrusion.

I'm sticking with my fold 5! The same comments/reviews were made about the fold 5 vs the fold 4 last year. Samsung know what they're doing, and this is a numbers game. They'll still sell more of these than anyone else, and these new folds are aimed at fresh customers, not the noisy minority. The Chinese this, and that doesn't work for the vast majority, I dont see Chinese foldables anywhere except in KZfaq videos. Samsung aren't perfect, but they're the best overall, and that includes the hardware.

But I must admit I prefer my X Fold 3 Pro for the better superior hardware, hours more of screen on time, better cameras, throttles less, charges to 100% in 25 minutes and wider outer screen. Since I don't need a stylus or use desktop mode it's fine. TouchfunOS is a bit clunky and isn't anywhere near as good as OneUI but I can live with it.

The crease looks a step back compared to other device available on the market. Its disappointing that Samsung does not invest enough in development.

Sure it does not have stylus but didn't use it with my fold 5 either. The Open going strong form me, and if none of the competitors bring up something worthy I hang on to it till next year.
