I pre-ordered the 6 in navy!! Upgrading from my iPhone 12, so this is most certainly a major upgrade for me. I’m so excited for it to come omg. My first foldable phone experience is going to be fire 🔥. I do understand why other Samsung/foldable/flip users are unhappy with this release. However, Samsung has done a good job with attracting new customers like myself 😂. Now I want a ring!!!!

The Fold 6 has a better battery life than the OnePlus Fold. I saw a battery life test where the Fold's inner unfolded screen beat out the Oneplus Fold as well as other other phones with a smaller screen and bigger batteries. Only the Iphone 15 pro Max beat the Fold's unfolded screen handily, and the S24 Ultra only slightly edged it out.

@marcochavanne Ай бұрын

@@kfx3907 the software is fair. I didn’t have an issue with mine and felt it was useful. I downloaded the Oppo Theme Store and could customize it a little bit but Samsung Good Lock beats it hands down. Bixby Routines is also the easiest and most slept on automation suites on any smartphone. I can definitely see where you are coming from there. Samsung has a lot to offer as far as software capabilities if you’re a power user. The battery life was also phenomenal. With my use I was easily getting 10 hours of SOT. That being said ALL foldable suffer in the durability department. Anything with moving parts is more likely to fail. I’ve seen failures from every company and accept it comes with the territory of relatively new tech. Samsung offers a cheap one time replacement so the peace of mind there is worth acknowledging. I’m currently debating on the Fold 6 or getting the Open again. Miss having a foldable and am already bored with my 15 Pro Max. The cheaper price, faster charging, and barely noticeable crease have me pulling back to the Open. I looked at trade ins on both for my Pixel 8 Pro and it’s around $150 difference. Really a tough decision.

@bullsback23 Ай бұрын

I ordered the fold 6 but i decided to also order the s24 ultra 1tb. When the fold 6 get here im sending it back. The idea of owning the fold 6 sounds more fun then it makes sense to actually own it. The outside screen is still too small, and to be forced to use the inside screen due to the lack of functionality on the narrow outside screen takes the fun away for me. The price is way too high to justify no camera upgrades, same battery, it being a hair bigger on the outside screen and shorter. Im mean come on we're getting less or the same with just ai software updates that can easily come to other devices and they will. The s 24 ultra still beats the new fold 6 and both devices get 7 years security and software updates. Keep in mind the s24 ultra came out the same year as the fold 6 and their only months apart. Why get ripped off hundreds of dollars just to say you have the latest disappointment?

I had 3 generations of fold from 2 to 4. In the end up their shortcomings became too much for me and I went over to the ultra. Camera tech which is years old, a crease which is still too pronounced given what the competition can now achieve. Battery stuck at 4500 when competition are up at 5000 or more. 25 watt "fast" charging which is archaic at this point. And then not a big deal but the cadence they are on with the release schedule means your talking about next gen processors when they are released. Just stings a bit when you spend nearly 2 grand on a phone and the processor is last year's tech in 4 months time. Google had the right idea delaying their fold release to wait on the newest processor. Samsung had a great thing with the fold but the Chinese giants have overtaken them now and I'd be far more likely to go Vivo or one plus if I go back to a foldable.

@nicholasfitchett7278 Ай бұрын

Wanted to try the OnePlus fold but no wireless charging or band 14 makes it too much compromise. Tried the pixel fold, but the tensor exynos chip had horrible signal. Battery was also worse and phone froze and overheated often when running apps side by side. Fold 5 had best battery life of US market folding phones even with the smaller battery

Samsung seems to have done very little R&D of their own, with the watch and earphones look strikingly similar to the Apple Watch and Airpods, right down to the watch bands, earphone design and icons etc. This lack of originality is disappointing. There are very few hardware changes this year. Instead, Samsung has introduced AI features that feel more like a software update and we get all these from other companies like Dalle or Chatgpt etc, which could have been included with One UI. KZfaqrs like you should highlight these issues and call out these companies for their lack of innovation.
