detailedReviews: detailedReviews 1: content: Overall this is a good phone but, in my opinion, not a good buy.
Been able to read clearly and easy is a most and the only reason I bough the Z Fold 6. Having a phone with the posibility of turning into a tablet was a very good selling point and why I sold myself into the Z Fold 6.
I figure that, with years of experience and a few models sold before this one, by now, Samsung WOULD had heard about early complaints and suggestions of buyers of the previous models of the Z- Fold, and fine tune it to be a marvelous of engendering however, the phone is far from that and what I expected to be for the following reasons:
1- The battery life is a joke, just writing this review, in the day time and while been inside, the phone consumed the top 10% of its charge.
2- This phone will feel very heavy when using with just one hand however, it will fit easily on most packets when closed.
3- The top screen has an incredible high resolution and it looks great however, for someone like me, the text within are hard to read. Yes, you can argue that I can use the big foldable screen at all times to correct the above mentioned statement but, in that case, the battery will run out much faster and I will put a lot of stress on the folded screen and hinge plus I will also need to use both hands must of the time.
4- The top screen is way too narrow to fit todays website standards and so, they look crowder or you will have to move the screen from side to side to see it all. I beleive that a 2 or 3 millimeters wider will have been perfect.
5- The front faxing camera, for todays standards, its mediocre. The fact that it is a wide angle lens is great for a group selfies however, it's horrible when taking one of yourself. Also, when taking pictures at a low ambiance light, the pictures come out with low quality and undesirable effects like granulated pixels. For the price we are paying for this phone, Samsung should had included 2 front facing lenses (like one F38 plus the wide angle one) to acomodate every possibility.
6- The folded screen by far is the best feature and the center of attention of everyone, aside for been the reason I bought this phone. You won't notice the folding crest at all and Samsung has gone over and beyond to make sure you don't.
7- The sound, al though not too loud, is very good and give you options like "Dolby Atmos" something new to me in a cellular phone.
8- Unlike Samsung's unfoldable form factor phones, this phone is not waterproof not completely dust proof so, I recommend you protect your investment by buying an using a protector cover that includes hinge protection at all times. Don't take a chance !!!.
The Z fold format was not my only choice of foldable phones. They are other brands that make similar phones but, at least for now, Samsung is the only phone I will buy, other brands are not interested to me.
I am happy with the big screen and also of having 2 separate screens on the same phone, just in case one of them break, I will still be able to access my phone and data on the other one.
I hope I clear some of your questions and find this review helpful.

detailedReviews 2: content: I have been a using a Fold 4 for about a year, so am approaching the Fold 6 as an upgraded foldable rather than a new experience.
The inter-generation changes aren’t very big on their own, but together they are moving towards a product that is easier to recommend as a phone for more people, with fewer compromises.
There will always be engineering problems inherent to foldables, but they are getting away from “this is a weird device that you have to baby all the time, only used by early tech adopters” and towards “more people could use this”.
With other companies now joining the market, it’s not just Samsung iterating on the original Fold on its own. This competition is causing Samsung to have to adapt (although it could do with fighting harder on the price…), but the alternatives allowing people to experiment with what format a foldable should take. Samsung is still a bit narrower than its rivals, making it a bit easier to use in one hand, but wider than previous generations is an improvement.
Pros:
Every little thing has got a small improvement – better speakers, brighter screens, clearer cameras, etc. More power is always helpful, and the battery seems to have improved, even if it’s not actually any bigger in capacity.
The screen now closes flush, no longer creating a dust trap between the screens when folded.
A wider front screen means more usable space in folded mode.
The phone is thinner and lighter, therefore moving away from the point of “a bit thicker when closed, but not huge”, although still noticeable.
The physical changes (wider, thinner and flat) make the phone more normal and pocketable when closed.
Medium:
The wider front screen means the front screen is more usable for video, but it means the inside screen just has more black bars for most media content.
While everyone is trying to market their new phone upgrades on new AI features, these are all currently between “nice to have” and “utter gimmick”, with nothing yet reaching the level that is promised.
The pen is nice, but it would be nice if it could come with the phone (if sold as one of the features) and have a way to attach to the phone without the specific S Pen Case.
Cons:
While the squarer edges create more usable space, they are also sharper using the phone, digging into your palm.
25w charging in 2024 is a bit slow, even compared to Samsung’s own 45w S24 Ultra.
For now foldables are still at a price/fragility point that it feels that a case is always needed.

detailedReviews 3: content: When I purchased my z-fold six through pre-order, I got T-Mobile's best deal which was get a free storage upgrade on us at the price of the base model. So I got the 512 GB variant in the navy blue. The phone has been real great amazing. I've done many things on it with the S-Pen. I really like the selfie feature that allows you to take a selfie with the back camera using the cover display the optimization of apps on one UI have been glorious me amazing and it has never failed on me. But do I regret my decision? There is times where I do because I gave up an amazing camera on the s23 ultra for a camera that underperforms in many occasions and when it comes to low light due to the sensor not being that big it really doesn't take amazing pictures. Then I watched my favorite YouTubers video On the Google event where he focused mostly on Google's new foldable Michael Fisher Mr. Mobile and I realized that I should have waited until my local Best Buy had a Google pixel 9 Pro fold on display so I could have gone to play with it and make my purchasing decision right there because in the hardware department the 9 Pro full makes more sense to me because it has a regular candy bar style cover display. It has the biggest folding display in the United States Market at 8 inchesEven though it doesn't have sharp beautiful corners like the Z fold six and it has aggressively rounded corners and what some people call an ugly side chin by the hinge that is there by Design to complement the inner big display Samsung has gotten to complacent with their design and are becoming the new Apple with not that many changes that justify upgrading to a new fold every year. Do I love my Z fold six? Yes, I do. But at this point I'm too late. I have to finish paying half of my device and then upgrade to another device and I will be going with Google. Like I said earlier they're folding device makes more sense to me. It's thinner the thinnest device in the US market and the way they redesigned their Hardware, even though the corners are aggressively rounded. It looks amazing with the regular sized candy bar style cover display.

detailedReviews 4: content: I've had the Fold 3 for 3 years now and it was getting about time that I looked at an upgrade and the Fold 6 seemed to tick a lot of those boxes. The cover screen is larger than before, which I no longer struggle with typing on with my larger fingers. The cameras are improved, though as I understand it they haven't improved much in comparison the the newer Fold 4 and 5.
Battery life so far has been great. I have run the phone in battery protection mode, which limits the phone to 80% to improve the lifespan of the batteries, and I have yet to have a day where I need to charge before sleeping.
Brightness is a huge point on this device, it gets up to 2700 nits which is a huge upgrade over the original Fold 3 i have. It makes movies/shows pop and allows using it outside to be much easier.
Performance on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is also great, whilst I didn't have complaints about the Fold 3, comparing them side by side you can definitely feel the improvement and everything just feels smoother in general.
Feel in the hand! This is a hard one to describe in a review but the feel of this device is so much more robust and premium feeling. You really have to hold it to understand but you won't be disappointed. The weight is also not too much, though I have never really cared about the weight of a device, I'd prefer larger the better.
With regards to improvements, it does feel like Samsung are taking the refinement rather than innovation approach. I hope the Fold 7 takes the next step up, especially with how other foldables are progressing.
Screen size could be better, the form factor is great but I'd like to see a larger inside display. Whilst the cover screen is totally usable, I'd love to see it another 5-10mm wider and that would translate to a larger inner screen too, after all your buying this device for the screen real estate so the more the better.
I would love to see the s-pen supported on the cover screen, if I need to take some quick notes on the fly it would be more convenient, though I do totally get why they have gone the route of the inner screen only.
Other than that, it's a great device that anyone either looking to upgrade from earlier Folds (I would wait a year if you already have the Fold 5) or looking to get into the market would enjoy greatly.

title: I've had the Fold 3 for 3 years...
detailedReviews 5: content: I have owned this phone for about 6 months now and I can say it is surprisingly durable and very well made. I used it for the first month without a case on it and it is honeslty not much thicker than a normal phone. It is definitely noticeably thicker once you ad the case as it is technically adding the thickness of 2 cases when it is closed.
When looking into this phone I saw some people saying the outside screen being narrower than a normal phone is a negative but I honestly dont notice much of a difference. In fact, I probably uses the outside screen 2/3 of the time and the slightly narrow frame makes it a little easier to wield 1 handed. An added benefit of using the outside screen most of the time is the fact that my battery life is insane since there are 2 batteries in this phone.
The very first thing that blew me away about this phone was the call clarity (Crazy right? A phone that makes good phone calls!?) My wife and I said almost the exact same thing in unison the first time I called her "woah, this call sounds so clear!" I came from a Samsung Note 10 in case that gives anybody a reference of quality. With this, I also seem to find that my reception is slightly better in remote areas (I no longer drop phone calls on a road I used to drop them on every trip, worst case they get robotic sounding for about 30 seconds).
This phone has been great for watching videos, browsing the web, playing games, multi-tasking with the split screen option, and sketching out plans (with an S Pen I purchased separately).
My only real negative about this phone is the fact it was over $2000. I was very fortunate as I went in and got it for $400 off on sale and they happened to have an open box of the model I wanted which took another $300 or so off of it. I was as happy as you can be paying $1300 for a phone (haha).
The price and the fact I don't know how practical this much phone really is are really the only reasons I didn't give it a full 5 star review (maybe like 4.5). If I find this phone to last without problems I would be tempted to change my rating to a 5 star.

detailedReviews 6: content: Before I purchased my Galaxy Z Fold6, I was a bit nervous with all the mixed reviews of foldables. I decided to get an older model flip and see if I would adjust to and also like the whole foldable device thing, but after a few days of use, I absolutely loved everything about foldables, and I purchased my Galaxy Z Fold6. The Galaxy Z Fold6 is a powerhouse packed with pretty much everything, including the kitchen sink. It is a pleasure to explore the innovative features of this device. The advanced AI capabilities truly enhance the user experience, streamlining various tasks efficiently. Furthermore, the different modes offer a versatile range of customization options for any activity. Additionally, the routines feature provides convenience by automating daily processes, making it very easy to use. Overall, the device stands out with its intelligent design and user-friendly interface. I'm also a huge fan of the privacy focus put into it. Don't even get me started on movie watching or show binging on the inner display, and gaming on its huge inner display backed with the processing power; it's just phenomenal. I can also say with 100 percent certainty that the Galaxy Z Fold6 is built to handle everyday life without even breaking a sweat. I can assure you from personal experience it's much sturdier than some have said it to be. In short, purchasing the Galaxy Z Fold6 has easily been one of my best mobile device decisions I've made. It's everything one can ask and also wish for.

detailedReviews 7: content: From the moment I took the Fold 6 out of the box it felt very special. With the hinge, initially I was worried that it would be something I'd have to handle in a very light manner, but after a short amount of time using the phone I realised how sturdy and well designed it is. It's thicker than my old phone but not as wide so it doesn't feel bulky given what you're able to do with that massive screen.
Really easy to set it up. I just used the Smart Switch app that is already installed, and used that with my S22 Ultra that I was coming over from. Sat the phones next to each other for an hour and everything was transferred and ready to go after putting my old sim card into the phone.
One thing you have to get used to is the smaller width of the phone. For the outside screen it's noticeably narrower and the text and icons are also smaller depending on how you configure fonts and screen sizes. There's less space to type on as well so this "mode" of the phone is best for when you want to quickly use it.
The real big event is when I open up the phone to use that massive folding screen. It's really next level stuff, and makes all the things I'm used to doing on my phone more enjoyable. Videos are bigger and better, I can see more text on the screen when I'm reading Twitter and having a bigger on screen keyboard makes typing more accurate as well. It's ultra bright as well and I can turn it down really low to 20-30% to use indoors. Having a folding screen really is a whole new way to experience a phone and being able to start on the single screen and then just flip it open to continue with double the screen size, is really enjoyable.
The AI features that you don't get on other devices are really fun as well. My kids love it when mum draws a picture using the notes app and then it transforms after a few seconds into a 3D cartoon or sketch. Even my absolutely terrible scribbles can be turned into really presentable images. I can run the same AI features on my existing photos and generate AI portraits, or enhance and move things to get them perfect.
It's been really easy to go from a "normal" phone to a folding one, and it's hard to imagine going back to something smaller now. The AI enhancements are a cherry on top to make things more useful than ever for my day to day life.

detailedReviews 8: content: I've been on iPhone for years and just made the switch. I had every bit of Apple's ecosystem that one could own. That being said, now that Apple was finally FORCED to adopt RCS, which means iPhones and Androids can now text each other pictures and videos without it looking terrible, and the other perks like read receipts and putting a heart or thumbs up on a text work properly, I decided to finally make the jump. Switching was not as painful as I feared. I am extremely meticulous and organized and moved absolutely everything. There was maybe a week of randomly taking on different chunks to move (pictures, old text messages, passwords, downloading and logging into every app I previously had, etc) and by the end I had every single thing perfectly organized and set up on my new Samsung Galaxy Fold 6. I absolutely LOVE the customization and the massive screen. From videos to work documents to web browsing to doom scrolling to emails, every single thing is better on this phone. The one thing I will give Apple is that if you are comparing the camera on this to the latest iPhone then they take a win by a slight margin, but this still has cameras just as good as maybe two generations back for Samsung S series and iPhone Pros, and far superior to what anyone looking past a spec sheet would care about or notice. Not to mention it has the absolute best in class camera for selfies since you can use the main cameras and front screen for any selfie action! I originally kept my old iPhone to use alongside this one, but after a couple weeks I moved both SIMs into this one and haven't looked back. After this, I took the plunge on the Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Buds Pro 3, and Smart Tags to complete the ecosystem. I am absolutely LOVING it.

detailedReviews 9: content: I've got to say, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is one impressive device. As someone who's always on the go, I appreciate the sleek design and durable build. The phone's dimensions are surprisingly compact, measuring 12.1mm thick when folded and 5.6mm when unfolded. It's also remarkably lightweight at 239g, making it easy to toss into a bag or pocket.
The displays on this phone are truly stunning. The 6.3-inch cover display is perfect for everyday use, while the 7.6-inch main display is ideal for watching videos, browsing photos, or getting some work done. I love how bright and vibrant the main display is, with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits.
In terms of performance, this phone delivers. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and up to 12GB of RAM make it a powerhouse that's perfect for gaming, multitasking, and demanding users like myself. I've noticed that the vapor chamber cooling system does a great job of preventing overheating, even during intense usage.
The camera setup is solid, if not spectacular. The 50MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide camera, and 10MP telephoto lens take good photos in various lighting conditions. I've been using the ultra-wide camera a lot lately, and I'm impressed with the results.
Battery life is decent, but I'd love to see some improvements. The 4,400mAh battery lasts me a good day, but heavy users may need to charge it every night. The 25W charging speed is a bit slow compared to some other devices, but it's not a deal-breaker for me.
What really set

detailedReviews 10: content: I am a Mobile Gamer. The Fold Series from Samsung are Constantly Evolving and Improving. I upgraded from the 4 to the 6 and I will definitely be upgrading to the 7. The 7 will be the game changer 8 inch bigger inner screen, 200mp camera, titanium hinge,slimmer profile which will lower the weight. Once you own the Fold its impossible to go back to the typical smartphone form factor. You appreciate the screen size when indulging in all your apps. Being able to run 3 apps at the same time is awesome. AI is fun to play around with pictures. My Fold 6's primary use is work,music,and gaming with some occasional shopping on Amazon or FB marketplace.
If your wondering what game its Mobile Legends Bang Bang US.
The only improvements I would suggest for future models would be a second usb-c port on the non screen side for gaming with no cord impeeding my grip, 65 watt charge speed, 6k battery mah, and lastly 2 accessories a cooling unit for Gamers that can attach to keep the phone cold on extensive gaming sessions and a mini projector like Motorola had made for their modular phone years back as having a 20,30 or 40 inch mini projector would be really cool. Lastly Colors I want the Gold that China gets, or a Cyberpunk Transparent variant. The Fold is money well spent, how often do u say that in your life? That's my experience owning a Samsung Folding Smartphone. Hope this was helpful for anyone on the fence and for Samsung for future upgrades.
