How can we expect an honest opinion from these youtubers when these companies fly them to the event and fine them and dime them? These youtubers have basically become the marketing dept for these companies
You can tell the big TH-camrs are trying to spin anything positive and keep the negative to a minimum, so these companies don't swipe their invites or review units
For me this was a "same - same" but different event. I pre-purchased the S24 in January, but cancelled the order when I did a physical comparison with my aging Note 10+. Yes, the S24 is faster and brighter, but nothing on offer with the S24 could justify the AU$2500 cost. I DID hope that this unpacked event would release a Galaxy Fold with a built in SPen. That would have convinced me to buy the Galaxy Fold 6, but no built in SPen, so no purchase. The Note 10+ was so far ahead of its time, it is *STILL* a great phone! It does most of the things promoted on the S24, '"circle to search" [with Bixby vision], "real time translate" [with Google translate] but perhaps not quite as conveniently/easily. I'll wait again until the next unpacked event (later this year?) and see what's on offer.
I can tell you last year I traded in a Flip 4 and only paid less than $100 for the new phone. That was a no brainer. Now trading in the Z Flip 5 to get the 6 will cost me about $475.
i thought the same thing because that's exactly what I did and that's what I was expecting this time, as well..... the Fold's trade-in is pretty good, though
Things are iterative if you don't already have one or you have a very recent version. For folks who've never had a foldable or are coming from a much older version, it will be a big(ger) move. I'm not keen about the buds, though.
The best thing about Samsung is that they increased the software support for their devices. I have an old Galaxy S21 Plus in mint condition and don't feel the need to upgrade. The same thing for those who upgrade this year can enjoy these devices for 5+ years.
Apple is dying, can't do anything now. Think of this SAMSUNG + GOOGLE + QUALCOM. From mobiles, tablets and laptops. I knew this is coming when Johny Ives was gone.
People thinking the buds are just trying to match their competitors are wrong. They tried a different approach for years and realized they are not as good. Wireless buds need a stem so you can easily use it's functions and more importantly, no accidental presses.
Exactly. Also, they can say Samsung is copying whoever. I personally don't care. I just want the best product point blank period. So far, I'm loving the Ultra watch and the Buds.
I could care less if Samsung copied Apple when it comes to earbuds. I currently use Airpods because of comfort, I'm just happy Samsung finally make a pair of normal buds that would be comfortable for me to use all day but we will see once I get it. And I upgraded my watch 4 and will be getting the 7. Can't wait!
Unpacked?? Uneventful, is more like it!! I didn't see or hear ANYTHING, that would pull me from my S23 Ultra!! The Ultra watch? Maybe but only if i can get a good trade in deal!!
It kinda already was dust resistant.. Can't be IPx8 without also beeing resistant to dust. Remember that IP ratings is also depending on what the company actually pays for. They can decide to get a IP4x rating just because they don't bother paying for the IP6x rating etc.. And the IP ratings are also a MINIMUM requirement for each class. I.e IPx8 can be either just 1,5m water for 30min or it can be rated for even deeper water or longer period. And so on...
Remember this one folks: If Samsung mocks Apple in a marketing trailer, they WILL do said thing years later when nothing else works, much like a hate-to-love pipeline you may see people go through on Twitter. Coming from someone who enjoys Samsung devices.
Samsung continues to impress with its relentless innovation. The recent collaboration between Samsung and Google has been remarkable, positioning them side by side. Witnessing the CEOs of both companies at an event underscores their commitment to shaping the future. And let’s not forget Qualcomm, which has introduced its powerful Snapdragon X Elite chips for laptops. These chips are poised to attract Apple laptop users to the Windows ecosystem. Truly, an exciting turn of events! Exciting times ahead!
It's a little sad that most actually think Apple was first with their Air Pods designs🙄🤦♂️ But yes, this year Samsung copied a bit. Look at that watch👀🙈
Samsung have lost their identity and is clearly following the design style of Apple's air buds and large watch design (Ultra). For that very reason I switch to the Pixel ecosystem a few years ago.
Tables had turned. 1st, us android people laughing at apple fan boy youtubers trying to mask how lame ios18 is. Now youtube flooded with videos of android youtubers trying to let us know how great this Stacy Malibu's new hat from samsung is.
Hey pocket now, I'm wondering have you guys got a visual on the black fold6? I want to pre order and I only see black is carbon fiber and I don't want that, I want just black? Please can someone confirm? If not then I will be getting white
No, I dont agree with your assessment. I find that for a "tech" reviewer, your inability to call out Samsung for their lack of innovation, progress, and their inflated value seems disappointing. Samsung gets away with recycling the same hardware year after year, from camera sensors, to screen technology, to charging speeds that are so far behind the competition, yet there seems to be a pattern among the TH-cam "tech reviewers" that points to a complacent, and frankly intellectual dishonesty toward your viewers. How is it possible that Xiaomi, Vivo, Huawei, OnePlus, etc. have all made more progress in one or two generations of foldable than Samsung has made in 6?! Thats alarming. Yet you fail to call out Samsung for copying Apple's designs in such a blatant manner. The only thing you're achieveing is making yourself look like a fanboy, and not an objective, honest reviewer.
Reviewer have to suck up and say they like the product so they can continue to get products sent to them. This was a big flop for Samsung. The Flip didnt have a bigger outer screen and should have gotten Dex. The fold what can I say, Its the same damn thing just more money to pay for all the AI CRAP. The earbuds ok Apple you win, Samsung has no clue how to be original. The Watch Ultra looks nice to some and some will think it's to much like Apple. I'm just glade I switch to the OnePlus Open that has made having a foldable fun again with it's new modern look and wider outer screen. I'm even excited to see the Google Pixel Fold 2. I will pass on Samsung this year and hopefully they will stop trying to be like Apple and listen to there customers and get their heads out there asses.
all disappointing as a Samsung fan. no real improvements for the fold 6 (not even qi2 or camera upgrades) as well as plain bad decisions overall. no rotating bezel on the ultra? then why keep it round? 🤦🏻♂️
I have the Flip 5 and absolutely no reason to upgrade to flip 6. No new bold, innovative ideas as samsung seem to be severely lacking in that department. I will be sticking with my flip 5 as pretty happy with it just another boring samsung event!!!
So Samsung decided to make pricey knock offs of the Apple Watch Ultra (even the band mechanism is similar) and AirPods 3 and Pro. God, what a downfall after DJ Koh stepped down. If it weren’t for the excellent tvs and the foldable lineup not having any respectful competitors they would be screwed. And it’s so sad and frustrating to have to say that. Samsung was such an awesome brand. They have an excellent R&D, Samsung display subsidiary is awesome …Now prices are high, they copy everything and try to deceive with that gimmicky AI features.
I am a bit curious to know why is Z Flip so much more expensive than Moto Razr. I mean, is Samsung trying to be Blackberry ? Charging a premium for the name ? That did not end very well for Blackberry, if you remember.... As far as I can see (from your review), Moto Razr is way more functional than the Z Flip...
Samsung has no shame... disgusting. From the fold 4 to the 6 they are basically identical . Wtf Samsung. Ai that's your selling point? A software update?! 🙄
Only £550 for the Fold 5 in trade-in. Samsung does not think much about the second-hand worth of their foldable phones! As the Fold 6 costs £1800 for the base model, that is a ridiculous upgrade cycle, though no real reason to upgrade as the Fold 6 is of little extra consequence. Thankfully, Samsung has some diehard superfans who would love to give more money to Samsung, so they should see a few.
Guess when the time comes and apple makes a fold phone you will say that samsung copied that as well. If you follow that logic then apple copied the square display samsung had on their gear s line back in 2014.
Looking at the same-looking foldables again, with gimmicks and jacked-up prices, it's no wonder Huawei has overtaken Samsung as the foldable leader. Samsung’s looking as embarrassing as their Unpacked event that showed off Google’s and Apple’s AI, then their shamefully ripped off Oura Ring, Apple AirPods, AirPods Pro, and even the Apple Watch Ultra. Which just made them look even more laughable when they called it all Samsung Innovation, as talk about embarrassing and looking even more desperate. 🤭🤣🤦♂

I think the term 'I think I've seen this before ' can be used to sum up their whole event
An even bigger reason to hold on to your devices for a couple more years lol
same thought came to mind.
I've moved on to the Chinese phones... So much more diversity there
@@leisurefarmfar more spyware too
@leisurefarm as long as you can deal with the sloppy software
@@leisurefarm oh boy
So Samsung basically released Apple airpods?
How can we expect an honest opinion from these youtubers when these companies fly them to the event and fine them and dime them? These youtubers have basically become the marketing dept for these companies
Did he say in the video that Samsung paid for his trip?
Just like the guys that test new 10k Specialized Stumpjumper 15 Bikes for two days all inclusive, free flight, free food and SPA. It's a Joke
You can tell the big TH-camrs are trying to spin anything positive and keep the negative to a minimum, so these companies don't swipe their invites or review units
They’re nothing but paid ads . You’re watching ads now , not reviews
Then, don't expect an honest one, they all get invited and most get accommodations. 😊
I'm most disappointed in the z fold 6 not using gorilla armor glass...and no camera upgrades.
Armor is reserved for s24u for the whole first year of production. With s25u, it will be available rof other phones.
There is a little camera upgrade but not much😅
6:49 What does Titanium have to do with S24U being sharp?
This Samsung event was a tribute to Apple

Probably wait for pixel watch 3 later next month
I really appreciate Pocketnow for focusing the footage on the devices themselves, rather than on the presenter's face like a lot of TH-camrs do.
I would love to get the fold. But i refuse until they match the specs/ camera of their galaxy ultra line
that carbon fiber look at the end was fire... preordered the black
I'm good with my S24 Ultra 🎉
U GOT THAT RIGHT! I'M THINKING OF TRADING IN MY GALAXY WATCH 6 CLASSIC THOUGH, FOR THE GALAXY WATCH ULTRA.
@@bmlove81 nice, I dont have watch yet so might get it, or the ring
@@Legitti cool
I can tell you last year I traded in a Flip 4 and only paid less than $100 for the new phone. That was a no brainer. Now trading in the Z Flip 5 to get the 6 will cost me about $475.
Could be worse, its 700+ euros to upgrade from the flip 5 to the flip 6 in Europe....
i thought the same thing because that's exactly what I did and that's what I was expecting this time, as well..... the Fold's trade-in is pretty good, though
FLOP FLOP IS GARBAGE too fragile too overpriced too lacking with cartoon front...and shitty camera
@@Elvewizzy.FLOP FLOP is garbage...stupid purchase ....shitty camera
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN😂😂 you mad?
It was an unpacked fudge event that cost more instead of less with low quality cameras
Cant wait for the OnePlus Open 2 next year!

The samsung zfold3.4 looking good
Honestly, in my opinion I like the look of the old earbuds compared to the new ones. And I actually don't care if I own a flip phone.
The best thing about Samsung is that they increased the software support for their devices. I have an old Galaxy S21 Plus in mint condition and don't feel the need to upgrade. The same thing for those who upgrade this year can enjoy these devices for 5+ years.
Get well soon Jaime
Samsung went full copy pasta 😂
Yo, just an Apple fan boy
Apple is dying, can't do anything now. Think of this SAMSUNG + GOOGLE + QUALCOM. From mobiles, tablets and laptops. I knew this is coming when Johny Ives was gone.
Wow the airpods look great😂
Galaxy watch ultra okay yeah 😂😂
Keeping my Z Fold 3 another year.
The only interesting device is the galaxy watch ultra ❤

Exactly. Also, they can say Samsung is copying whoever. I personally don't care. I just want the best product point blank period. So far, I'm loving the Ultra watch and the Buds.
Although Apple does make the Beats Studio Buds which have a very similar form factor to the Galaxy buds, but the beats aren’t a flagship product.
I could care less if Samsung copied Apple when it comes to earbuds. I currently use Airpods because of comfort, I'm just happy Samsung finally make a pair of normal buds that would be comfortable for me to use all day but we will see once I get it.
And I upgraded my watch 4 and will be getting the 7.
Can't wait!
Still no dex on the Flip series
Unpacked?? Uneventful, is more like it!! I didn't see or hear ANYTHING, that would pull me from my S23 Ultra!! The Ultra watch? Maybe but only if i can get a good trade in deal!!
What about the ring tho?
Get well soon, Jaime. The Fold 6 seems like a boring almost-non-upgrade. Same(ish) camera, same battery. What were they thinking? 😡
It never was any good
It kinda already was dust resistant.. Can't be IPx8 without also beeing resistant to dust. Remember that IP ratings is also depending on what the company actually pays for.

Great!
Samsung should have named the event. Our same old, same old phones with our tribute to Apple. Copy and Paste everything Apple does.
Online exclusive colors is petty especially a black ….
It's not just black. It is online black! You know, dark web style regular black.
Let's be upfront and call it Unpack more of the same over and over. The only 'new' things are the ear buds and ring. Watch design is new but hideous.
Why do you have to assure us that you're will not gonna lie to us? Should we be concerned with your validity?😉
Can you finally pair a BT HR monitor to the watch??
Team flip 6 for the win
That opening sounded real bitter
Samsung has settled with their foldables. Flat out boring, and they're charging $100 more...
Thank goodness for competition
What is it you would have wanted?
Built in Spen, way better camera system, bigger battery @@Johnnyiswhere they settled unfortunately
No, your taste got settled.
Inflation
0:34 Is that.m. the Fold on the left, with the drawing of the car???
It's a little sad that most actually think Apple was first with their Air Pods designs🙄🤦♂️
But yes, this year Samsung copied a bit. Look at that watch👀🙈
Is BP monitoring on the Galaxy watch 7 series yet?
which color looks the best on fold 6 according to you? I am thinking to preorder
Or just get a fold 5 on sale and get the same phone.
10% is a pretty big mark up in 12 months when you look at it. Anyone get a 10% pay rise in last 10 months? 😅
Samsung have lost their identity and is clearly following the design style of Apple's air buds and large watch design (Ultra). For that very reason I switch to the Pixel ecosystem a few years ago.
Don't forget their s24/24+ models m, their tablets that started with the Tab s5e
You had this up 🏃🏿♂️🏃🏿♂️🏃🏿♂️ fast😂😂 🙌🏿🙌🏿
The stem style earbuds are a hard pass.
Still remember Samsung mocked apple for the design and now copied their design. Such a low class brand
in the best Chandler voice - “Could Samsung GET anymore like Apple?!!”
Stupid show
So did Samsung remove the rotating bezel, with the Galaxy Watch Ultra?
Yup
The rotating bezel is on the classic which has been an offering every other year by the looks of it.
Tables had turned. 1st, us android people laughing at apple fan boy youtubers trying to mask how lame ios18 is. Now youtube flooded with videos of android youtubers trying to let us know how great this Stacy Malibu's new hat from samsung is.
The airbuds 3 pro look very cheap. I'll keep my buds 2 pro.
The Galaxy watch Ultra reminds me of the Gear Sport that was the same shape.
Did they remove the rotating bezel, with the Watch Ultra?
@@bmlove81 I think they did. Last time they did that the watches didn’t sell as well.
los flip y fold son tendencia

Black is online exclusive to Samsungs site I think
@NyteStalker89 it is but it's cb only and not matte
Buds with stem look awful.
Apple would basically destroy Samsung if they made a foldable iPhone and flip iPhone
I will be sticking with my Fold 4
Im starting to feel like this entire comment section is being paid by apple.
Sweet
The motorola razor 50 ultra is better than the samsung flip and the vivo xfold 3 is better than the samsung fold.
Gonna say this will be a low selling season for samsung. Nothing here was worth an upgrade for. Conversely, I'd argue we got design downgrades here
The flip looks good actually??
Yup. Think i have to try one out. Still on my fold 3 but want something smaller for a change.
No it doesn't especially with the cartoon front
the perfect aspect ratio of the z folds inner screen is ruined 😣
Stupid purchase
