The thing with Apple is they tend to research technology and mature it before officially introducing it to their products. Samsung and by extension Android have so many phones they can afford to experiment with different gimmicks because well, if one doesn’t work they just discontinue it. Can apple offer more diversity across devices? Of course, but then it would take away from developing their flagship devices. Not fan boying for Apple, just stating a marketing fact.

That was not the initial reason it was just to test market response with a design alot of competitors have, but the overwhelming demand means all Q3'25 foldables will be reworked
I've heard Samsung and other tech companies have these limited edition, high profile units to sell to upper class Koreans. This seems to be a showcase of exactly that.

Only the main camera was improved. It also still has the smallest battery in any Fold. Also, comparing the crease when it hasn't even been used and broken in yet is beyond misleading and pointless.
2:16 Lew it’s because you have used the old phone many times and haven’t folded the new one at all. No wonder you won’t see the crease much yet 🙄 that crease will show more and more in time
Yea, when my f3 was new the crease was about that invisible aswell. You just forget that with use. Same with the snappyness. My f3 would initially not even close without force beyond that of the integrated magnets.
Fun fact, you are the first ones to call it FOLD 6 Special Edition. As far as I know, it is not Fold 6 Special Edition. It is called only FOLD SPECIAL EDITION. Korea only market. Not gonna be global release, and by rumors not gonna be FOLD 7 neither. Regular Fold line will 99% continue the narrow style display.
From the leaks that have come out, this will basically be the design of the Fold 7. Im on my Fold 4, and I'm still waiting for the 7. If this is the design with better cameras and the Sanpdragon Elite, I'll be buying it on day 1.
Samsung needs two versions of the fold. An ultra version with a more traditional front screen ratio and a regular fold 6 size screen for those like me who chose the fold over ultra series phones SPECIFICALLY because of the one-handed use.
If this released in Canada, I would have bought it. Design they finally caught up to the chinese foldables, and the camera is finally not a downgrade from the ultras, which is important because my cats are very cute. I was going to buy a S25 ultra this year, but now I think ill hold out for the fold7 and hope they dont drop the ball
Sir Would request you to hold the "What smartphones do tech reviewers use" from next year just like you did in 2018. Or at least by different reviewers each year
As a big music person, I guess I'll sacrifice the bigger size of the SE if it means better audio quality on the 6. Nobody asked for thinner and thinner if it means you can't FIT better and better inside.
They already said they aren't releasing another se version it was a product to test what users actually wanted. But the 7 series are going to be headed that direction with a new pen technology
i find it weird the first thing you mentioned is the crease, if you think about it. Is this not normal that the crease is less visible since it has not been used yet enough to get the crease? can you elaborate, im not that familiar on the crease during usage after months. Or on the normale edition the crease is it already like that out of the box Perhaps compared to the SE?
@ ohhh Interesting i thought the normale one was one that has been used for a long time already! So it felt like having a crease after a few months is normal. But if it is like that then thats indeed very interesting how they dealt with the crease i understand the enthusiasm!
Watching on my SE. Samsung did us dirty. I bought the Fold 6 and sold it to import the SE 🤷🏾♂️. Very happy with my inconvenient purchase lol... thing is epic! So much thinner than the 6, most ppl can't even tell it's a fold.
I love my Z-Fold 4, and yes, I still have a 4 because I'm not willing to pay $2,000 for a phone, let alone $3,000, that would be a deal breaker for me. Another deal breaker, no S-Pen. I actually use the pen and always looking for more ways to use it. I mean Samsung has a good product here, there aren't too many ways to improve on it, just as other manufacturers are having having trouble improving on theirs. I don't see that much of an upgrade with the SE to warrant an additional $1,000+ on the price tag.
Sooo, I assume they finally solved their crease problem with this SE and they are ready to put that in their next folds starting with 7 , right? Hopefully
The stylus is an extremely needed thing on a fold phone, especially the high end ones, I’ll never ever consider a foldable phone without a stylus support
Pretty much every single folding phone I've seen will have a crease with use. Out of the box means nothing. Use that phone for a year and show it after being used. While it's getting better, still not there. Regardless the competition is what is driving these to improve faster. Love it. Now I wish they'd do the same with EVs lol.
Samsung finally did it right. They did the "fold" phone as it should be. But they put some wrong in it. Like most expensive price. "Yeah, we can do better but not everyone deserves that."

This feels like old school unbox therapy!
I thought exactly the same!
IKR??? was gonna say the same
I thought the same thing maan !!
I'm fully here for it!
me too ❤ that's vibe so cool 😎
Now if they can just somehow include the Ultra's S-Pen functionality & its housing as well, then this'd be their GOAT handheld product.
💯
And the same camera setup as in the ultra, otherwise no reason for me to switch
I just want to play with the pens lol. I like having something to fidget with

Na why's we want a apple folding phone it wouldn't do anything 😅 can't even multitask @@gorgonismztruth1551
$3100 dollars for this? No wonder why they didn't release it in the US
It was imported so it's not really the actual pricing. The price of this in South Korea was about 2.8M KRW which is about 2000 USD.
This is a bit bleeding edge... it's like a preview what the normal folds will be in 2 or 3 years.
@QuantumConundrum So it's a beta test?
@@QuantumConundrum Or todays fold from actually good brands like OnePlus. OnePlus open is still the best broadly available foldable phone.
This is what markup prices gonna be if the product not officially released on certain countries
Meanwhile, Apple in 5 years:
Introducing the I-Fold pro. The best folding phone yet 😂
yea but still would coz more media stir ... coz you know ... its Apple
They won’t make a folding phone because they’re plastic junk and the quality is half that of a normal phone. When it gets better they may
I doubt apple will make it. I've used the inner screen, it feels cheap

Right... that was a kiss ass. My flip 5 didn't have a crease until I used it 😂😂
Absolutely, you can see it in the videos the crease appears after closing the lid 😂so its the same thing.
@@gregoryburkhead7813 ...are you joking? The crese is obviously always there from the moment it's manufactured. It's doesn't crease from folding it.

Yes remember note 7 debacle that blew up. Samsung thinks 7 is unlucky so they tested smaller batch first
@@Realism_ai_art batch will be the same
About time they put the Ultra cameras into the Fold. When one pays top dollar for a phone, one expects the best the manufacturer has to offer.
I never understood the grievous lack of good cameras all the time on the "top" phone. And I don't even mean about periscope one.
I've heard Samsung and other tech companies have these limited edition, high profile units to sell to upper class Koreans. This seems to be a showcase of exactly that.

No under display camera would be a deal breaker for me. Takes the immersion away using the bigger screen

💯 I have never even come close to dropping my Fold 3, 4 and now 6 because they are easy to hold in the hand.
I went with the red magic 10 pro ultra. For under 1k the specs can't be beat.
Rog phone 9 pro
Nice to see old unbox therapy again!!!!

For 3k you can build a pretty solid PC
The world should thank those at Huawei and Honor who raised the bar and now everyone is pushing hard to make much better phones.
Damn! really hope we get these upgrades on the Fold 7. Especially the larger displays!
Maybe it's thinner because of the missing pen input components? just guessing. I agree they need the Ultra cameras in the Folds.
They can't though the s series will always be better due to foldable limitations
Apple:
Buy 2 super-duper iphones, slide them together and they automatically produce one super-duper large picture!!!!
I use that internal camera only for meetings and it is good enough. PS: I need the pen
The smaller size of 6 is why i prefer it more than SE. Got used to it already and i absolutly love it
@1:52 DJ Lew in the house!
7:06 the guy she tells you not to worry about
Basically samsung just released fold 7 in trial way 😂
I didnt see fox for second i only read “ the quick brown jumps over the lazy dog”😂
The reason you don't get spen or hidden display and the crease is diminished is they are simplifying the screen
title should be like .."Samsung quietly pays me to say this"
MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE PLEASE. BRING BACK THE OLD DAYS!!!
Nice to see a video on something like this again
i like how Samsung has a complete opposite understanding of "special edition" to apple haha
It fixed every issue with fold 6 👏 Now we need it in fold 7
at least we got the tech for the lesser crease on the screen. excited for next years and future phones

Samsung really said, 'Why settle for one screen when you can fold your way to greatness?'
It will become the 7 for sure.
I love the under display cam. I hope Samsung preserves it in the Fold 7.
Very happy with the s24 ultra as my first true foray into android flagships. Good to see the Z Fold may follow suit with specs.
The one channel that can pop up 3 times a year & get praised.
This episode is nostalgic welcome back unbox therapy
“Are you crazy? don’t want to use an iPhone because who wants to pay a grand for a phone!!?”
Fold 6 under display cam looks great!
This is an insight on what the fold 7 will be
Thanks! They look completely different!
This one should've been the standard Fold 6!
They already said they aren't releasing another se version it was a product to test what users actually wanted. But the 7 series are going to be headed that direction with a new pen technology
The crease is still there 😂 ... Dont BS me
OFC has a phone, that was never folded, no crease wtf. 2:20. Like new shoes, they come creaseless from the factory
The standard fold was also brand new i think. Its fresh out the box
@jeffreyjr1128 my fold 5 looked exactly like the Special edition out of the box
This special edition looks luxurious, I liked it right away, just the price
The folding phone technology has really come a long way.
Saying that a brand new folding phone out of the box has no visible crease is god tier glazing 😂
Looking forward to the 7 version esp with them doing the battery powered pen. If that can be integrated into the phone, then a+
what I like is that something better is not sold at your place... that there is too much discrimination with the processor
The fold 7 bout to go crazy

Beautiful phone some nice refinements from the fold6 but no S-Pen support that's a no-go
The only things the fold needs is a large battery whilst staying thin like de Huawei v3 and regular aspect ratio on outside
