Thank you for this comprehensive review. Not sure why folks are complaining about the voice over. You have a polished and professional delivery with good variation in pacing, tone, and inflection.

The zfold 3 was the first device I kept for 2 or 3 years i think the 6 is a worthy update

[MauMacEren]

Finally! Been waiting for your review!

[SpiritualRizz]

Bro your basically buying 3 phones in one, I'm all for it 👍

When charging with 25W charger try placing the phone on a cold surface. I use a frozen bag of peas, sometimes I place battery side down in a mini fridge (the door still closes with the type C charging cord) or over a portable air filter blowing air on high, maybe an air conditioner grate too. Using my battery charging app I can see the temperature drop to below 80 Fahrenheit. I can usually go from nearly 0% to 80% on my 4, 000 mAh battery in about 45 minutes. A full 100% does more harm than good so no point testing for that. Typically I stay in the 40 to 80% range and none of my phones have ever lost more than 15% of their factory capacity after 2 years of SOT of 7 plus hours daily. I screen shot the battery health whenever selling my phone. But the Samsung trade in so aggressive usually that I just go that route with all their mobile devices.

I like the cover screen being at 6.3. Hopefully they do make a bigger one for those who want a bigger cover screen and leave this one as the regular one.

I just ordered the z fold 6, pink . Just get the S pen and a case to hold it, kickstand . Love my little tablet on breaks when I'm at work .

The crease will never go away. It is what it is, love my z fold 6.

Hello GSMArena, this one was a nice review!

[justinb]

Samsung should upgrade the battery capacity to 5000 mAh

[X.X]

love the folds....had the fold4 and 5 with the 6 on the way! If you have 2 phones i'd definitely recommend to run the newest iPhone with the newest Z-Fold....best of both worlds

I got a Flip5 last year as a "test run" to see if I liked the concept and feel and whether the screen crease bugged me. I've enjoyed it well enough with my biggest niggle being how small the cover screen is. Thus I'm trading in for a Fold6. If I already had a Fold5, though, I wouldn't be doing the same.

[normanneal]

If it has a Type-C port, why didn't you try connecting it to an external display in this video?

[SammyGeek]

A fun, unique, flexible, & productivity tool all in one.

[scooter]

I have a Z Fold 4. I’m really having trouble talking myself into the Z Fold 6. Am I missing something

[ivozanette]

Yo, this phone is sick! I just got it yesterday.
The screen does go completely flat, though. It's just because of the camera lenses that it looks like it doesn't.
But who the hell is gonna lay this phone on a flat surface anyway?

[Schaems_du_disch_nisch]

I have now my s24U almost 4month..
And a gonna keep it.

But the fold 6 look very good😅

[TheRealYeller]

1:51 Nope. As a Fold user myself, I wont see my narrow cover screen gone. Ask for an Ultra variant all you want with a bigger cover screen, but that narrow cover screen is second to NONE for single handed use.

[Involvement]

One Plus Open Still beats this new device in camera, battery, outside wider screen!
