Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Cell Phone, Factory Unlocked Android Smartphone, 256GB , Big 7.6” Screen for Streaming, Gaming, Dual App View, One-Hand Control, Hands-Free Use, US Version, 2024, Silver Shadow

I have been a Note user up to the Note20 Ultra 5G and was (still) very disappointed that Samsung got rid of this series. The addition to of the Z Fold series looked interesting to me, but the longevity of a folding screen has kept me away. After finally seeing that it's now in it's 6th generation, I finally decided to give it a try and ordered one. I have to say that it's pretty amazing. It feels like you have two devices in one, a regular phone when closed and by opening it up you then have a mini tablet. Only wish that it had a built-in stylus and memory card storage expansion.

I moved from the Fold4 to Fold6. There are significant improvments between the two. The biggest being the ability to swap between open and closed screens. The Fold4 sucked at this and reset whatever you were looking at between the two. It acted as two completely different phones from little to big screen and back. The fold 6 does not. It clearly and smoothly swaps between front and inner screens without issue. The next biggest difference is smoothness of the UI. The fold4 was always a bit jerky, while the 6 is super smooth and crystal clear. Lowlights are screen size. What they claim in difference is negligable in hand. Honestly, the 6 feels smaller than the 4 for the wrong reasons. It needs to be 1/2" taller and wider when closed from the current size to be the right sized phone. Also, I don't welcome the squared edges, because they are sharp and uncomfortable to hold. I do like the faux carbon fiber of the black color this year. Still wish there was a gray model with the carbon look. Battery is identical, but drains faster on the 6. Great phone if you are coming to a foldable, but not much change if you are upgrading. Enough for 4 to 6, but probably not 5 to 6.
