Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 review | An excellent foldable edges closer to perfection

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is a bold reimagining of Samsung’s flagship foldable smartphone. It has a cleaner design that looks and feels better in the hand. The flexible handset is also more durable thanks to upgrades in the hinge and on the display. The crease is still there but less noticeable than ever. And that minor nit is worth it for a truly versatile device.

I absolutely love my Z Fold 6. And I'm one of those Apple ecosystem guys. I have the latest 13" M4 iPad Pro, but I find myself using my Z Fold 6 as my portable tablet a lot more often now. That's saying something.

Finally, an honest, down to earth review! 👏 Thank you for that. There is so much to love about this Fold. I have no regrets with my purchase. My S24U is sitting around collecting dust.

got mine for 1k. Literally bought used zfold 3 for 300 on ebay and traded in for 900.

The less premium camera on Z Fold 6 while users know the amazing camera Samsung provides on S24 Ultra is planned by Samsung so the costumer buys the Z Fold 6 now, and again buy the Z Fold 7 when Samsung upgrades the camera on Z Fold 7 to the same as now on S24 Ultra. A profit speculation by Samsung to sell the same device twice to the costumer by holding the premium camera back for a year.

I got to mess with the 6 and it's great! Best foldable of the 3. But i currently use the 4 and even with the trade in the price is near $1000. In every day use, i just don't know if I'd treat it much differently than what im doing now. Im ok keeping the 4 but congrats to all of you who got the 6!

I just bought a 512GB Z Fold 4 for $500. I considered doing the trade-in to get $1000 off of the Z Fold 6 but once you add tax and Samsung Care it'd still be ~$1200 (basically $1700 counting the cash I paid for the Z Fold 4). I've been an iPhone user since 2008 and there's no way it offers more utility than what the iPhone 16 Pro Max has in store and for less than $1500 AND I keep my Z Fold 4 as a second phone. Maybe I'll pick up the 6 in 2 years for $500. If Apple does a foldable it won't be before 2026 so it's tough to wait.

Great review. Didn't feel like a Samsung sponsored fan boy review.

I want the fold but hate the slower 25w charging with the smaller battery

[chefjosesoto]

It's the same as the Google fold crease it's very noticable

Great review ! It help alot with my purchase decision

[anilbaksh]

I traded a Fold 4 and got $1000 off, when combined with all the other discounts- I got the Fold 6 for $780.

[OldSchoolUSA]

Traded in my S20 Ultra and got $1100 credit towards the Fold 6...got in on an additional pre-order promo and received the 512 at 256 pricing (additional $200 savings). Received the device within 10 days and 1 week before local AT&T stores. Time will tell but so far, I am VERY impressed with this device.

As a current z fold 6 owner and a fold enthusiast, there no way I would in a billion years I would dare characterise this as a "bold re-imagination" by any stretch, and might I also add poor choice of words from someone who is bald 😂😂
