Owning the Z fold 5 from iPhone 14 pro....I LOVE Z fold 5!! Crease and all!! Idk why, but it's so user friendly. I don't even realize the crease is there!!!
Is your screen holding up??
Same here best phone I've ever owned. I was a lifetime ios user and the rest of family wants to switch
I have owned the zfold 2,3,4,5 just used the z fold 6 the crease feels much less noticeable when running your finger across it, I have already pre ordered it before seeing it today. But very happy with the changes much lighter in hand, love the square edges can't wait to see how much brighter outdoors.
I have the Fold 5, love it. Its all about what you want in your phone. Crease is irrelevant, the screen is awesome, wont upgrade not enough changes made and Im happy with what I have.
I must admit, I am quite fond of the navy blue color. 👍 The squared-off edges are also to my liking. 👍 I can envision myself utilizing the Fold 6 for an extended period of time. 👍
Same but Shane missed a trick not trying the zf5 it's way better than my zf4 was
Having the Fold 4 and S24U here, I always find myself drawn to the satisfying tactile sensation of the crease. Weird but it's true 😂
Shane, thanks for being such an honest and genuine creator. Your candid content is why I’ll always continue to support
Super nice of you! Thanks!
@@scaryifliteral between the flip 6 and fold 6 which one is worth getting? I'm coming from a iphone 15 pro max
Fold 6 @@Johnmims65
@Johnmims65 Worth getting is a hard thing to answer for someone else
I just picked up a fold 5 on Mercari for $500, never going back to a regular phone.
Bought one yesterday from Samsung using your links hopefully it worked and thanks for the great and level headed content!
Thank you!
I have Fold 3 since 2021. Samsung offering $900 for my trade in with free 512gb upgrade. Case with the pen is decent $50. I paid $1k for my Fold 3 after my carrier bill credits of $30 a month for 3 years. So basically I paid $1k and Samsung bought it back for $900 after 3 years. Makes paying $950 for $2020 device doable. I'm going to get rid of my expensive plan now that I own the phone outright from day one and try one of the budget carriers who have the pay up front for the whole year that are part of the bigger carriers. The plan I'm looking at brings my monthly bill down for $110 for one phone and smartwatch phone service to $31 total with 50GB of priority 4G and 5G with free smartwatch phone service. Samsung offer monthly insurance for $14 while most carriers have upped it to $17 and up. Time to start cutting costs while upgrading hardware. Win win.
I'm keeping my ZF4, but I'm happy to contribute to your purchase/ deep dive of ZF6.
Very generous, thank you!
You deserve more subs so Samsung and other manufacturers send you review units. I like your dedication in the Fold market.
The Samsung software experience is still unmatched. The seperate homescreens are so important for me. The narrow outer display is the only downside. And maybe a better zoom and Wide angle camera. All the other photos are looking georgious. I'm getting compliments for the beautiful photos all the time. But when I see the unfolded Pixel and other Folding phones I really realise how much I hate those double screens. The inner screen should be used as one big square screen and not 2 outer screens next to each other. And the stylus support is a big win. Nothing beats some doomscrolling with a pen in the hand or making some doodles with the S-pen
I traded in a Fold 4 for a Oneplus Open. Besides the OnePlus Open, I also own a Flip 5 and a Oneplus 12 (yes I have 3 phones lol). I think the OnePlus Open is miles ahead of the Samsung Fold.
Also, not sure why this is, but my audio headsets (Bose QC Ultra, B&W Px8, and Sennheiser Momentum sound better when using the OnePlus over the Samsung.
I think the fold 6 should sound better than the 4
i also went to best buy and checked it out. the squared off sides are very nice. i still think the pixel fold has a more satisfying open/close feel, though. and the zfold still doesn't fold fully flat and there is a noticeable gap when folded between the area closest to the hinge. the WEIGHT of the device though is so much lighter feeling than the pixel fold that i hope google makes the fold 2 (or whatever they're gonna name it) a lot lighter.
Appreciate the Talking Heads reference. Glad to know you're a fan.
I had been waiting for the fold 6 announcement before I bought my first foldable, and after trying it in a store, I went with the OPO. The front screen size, cost, cameras, and interior crease are what sold me. Will miss the Samsung software and wireless charging, but I'm still not sure if I'll keep the OPO or go back to an 24 ultra. Your OPO videos sold me!
The only downside to using Oppo is their customer service. It is absolutely HORRID.
@@JustXavier I've heard and am afraid of that. I have phone insurance through progressive and a backup s23+ in case something goes wrong though 🤞
Absolutely, so true about the crease. nobody who uses any fold cares about it.
I did the same in a bestbuy. Compared my Oneplus Open cover display vs Z Fold 6 and still considerably narrower than Oneplus Open. Samsung still behind all other foldables.
They are only behind in form factor. I do feel like they do have the better software amongst the foldables. Which at this point makes up the difference in form factor
The moment you said "Same as it ever was", that Talking Heads song came to mind!
As a foldable user, having the oneplus open and zf5, I almost never use the cover display for more than 2 mins. It’s always that main display. Don’t care for a slab experience on a foldable. Maybe it’s me.
Have you experience the Pixel Fold yet? That's what I have and I don't open up my phone unless I know I need to do more than just something quick and simple. The Pixel Fold has a height advantage in that you could easily reach most of the phone with one hand depending on how big your hands are.
I think if I had the Z Fold 5 I would be wanting to use it open all the time too due to how narrow it is. I know the one plus open might be wider by a lot but I don't know much about it. I would be using the front more often if anything and only opening it up if I'm multitasking or so.
Just one more thing I'd like to add and I apologize I'm not trying to hijack your video! 🙌 New sub by the way, I really like your content, you're killing it! 🔥 But somebody made a valid point about having both the Pixel Fold and the Galaxy Fold. 🤔 They said they never even unfolded the Pixel, they rarely felt the need to. But with the Galaxy, when they used it for 2 weeks, it drove them to use the inside screen more. 🤔 For some reason, I feel like that's a pro if you can get it to a point. Where It's just big enough that it's not annoying, but not too big that you never use its main feature. 🤔 I thought it was Just a very interesting perspective!
upgrading from a pixel fold to the zfold6. been waiting for this kind of upgrade for awhile from samsung. Also used your link! Hope it helps you out in whatever way you need it too :)
If you trade in your device they give you a really good discount. After holding the z fold 6 I realize how much that form factor needs to stay coming from an s24 ultra.
Only in the US.
Bought one. Can't wait to get it on the 24th
I got to check one out at Best Buy today and wow i LOVED it. I really liked the outter display size. I have the S24U. Thought i would get use to the size but its just too big unless you have gigantic hands. I'm going to get the Z Fold 6!
I have already my unit at home. I confirm generally what you said, just a remark to the crease as it feels and looks really materially smaller and more shallow than on Fold 5 which I have next to Fold 6 so I can judge. But maybe the new unit not yet folded looks better than it will in few weeks...
I understand the crease not being there when it's on and you're looking straight at it. The problem for me was it often catching light. For example I used to use a OnePlus 7pro and the curved screen always caught light. When I went to a flat screen I realized how often I previously maneuvered my phone compared to a flat one. Same thing happened going from the fold to open. If everyone else can reduce the crease it makes it an unnecessary problem.
The matte black squared edges 👌
Aww man I would of used your link if I would of known it helps I already ordered mine thru Samsung right when it came out love your videos .
They just, need to make it much wider and taller, i want a smartphone that folds open, not a foldable that folds closed.
Jumping from the 4 to the 6. The hand feel, frpnt cover, and battery life all all reasons i pulled the trigger (and samsungs trade in value)
I personally don't want a phone as big as a S24 ultra in my pocket. I love the narrow form factor of the fold for that purpose exactly. Its literally the best of both worlds. People insist on having defeating the purpose this phone was made. If people want the size of the 24 ultra.... Then buy the S24 ultra
I noticed a difference from my ZFold 5 with the crease, The smaller hinge makes way bigger of a difference than I thought it did. Idc about the crease, but I noticed a clear difference. Could just be that one is fresh and I've had my fold 5 for a while
I do appreciate your reviews. You are rock solid and the information is very informative and helpful.
bought the pixel fold because of it's form and because it is "cheap". hope they will support it as long as possible
It’s the same except for a couple of refinement. It’s a solid device. If you NEED a phone it’s a solid choice. If you a tech nerd. Probably not. I got it. Hopefully we get early delivery
Enjoy watching these videos. Hope you do get the ZF5!
Thank you!
@@scaryifliteral meant to say zf6 lol
I literally just got home from Best Buy checking out the Zfold 6. And in my experience while the crease is on the 6 is as visible as it is on the 5 it's not as tactile. You can feel it a little bit more than the OnePlus Open but less than the Zfold 5
Love my zfold5 1tb in blue with Matt black edges I like the look of the 6 but it's too similar to change it
Sorry the link is for US customers only, would buy if I could I'm in the UK
Thanks!
Thank you!!!
The weight is noticeable vs my fold 4. Same with thickness. Chunky still but lighter and thinner feels like a nicely refined upgrade.
But tbh if i had a fold 5 id probably wait to see if fold ultra coming to NA
Thanks for the video. I preordered mine already. Can’t wait to get off the iPhone.
Do yourself a favor, and get a 24U... much perfect overall package..
I saw it and compared next to the fold 5 and definitely the crease is less noticeable and barely can feel it.
Does it have the AOD wallpaper?
Thanks so much for doing that, Shane. I was really considering getting the z fold 6 but seeing the difference between its cover display and the pixel folds cover display was a major turn off for me.
Would be cool if you get foldables available overseas
Great video! Informative enough for me to know that maybe going back to the z-fold series is not for me I think I'm going to go ahead and stick with this Pixel fold series thanks Shane. By the way we wear a lot of the exact same shirts dope shirt choices brother. Staying nerdy!
Target shopper? lol
@@scaryifliteral yes sir! 💯
Tried 2 different BestBuy's + T-Mobile but they only had the Flip 6 on display. Despite the great pre-order savings, I don't think it's worth the price and better to wait what Google will do. Currently OnePlus Open at Amazon is $1400. Second if you look at the recent Honor Magic v3 and upcoming Xiaomi Fold 4, they make the Fold 6 look old: thinner, lighter and better camera specs again. Likely we'll see similar improvements into the next OnePlus 2.
Something I'm really interested to know, that nobody has mentioned yet - how does the crease _feel?_
It IS smaller. Visually, it's hard to tell that, but visually the crease never really bothered me. Feeling the crease while scrolling, though, while not a big deal, _does_ bother me.
Anyway, very happy with what I've seen so far. It doesn't change any of the things I like about the Z Fold (a worry I had because a vocal chunk of people keep begging for it to be wider), but does improve several things I felt were problems with my 4.
I didn't feel a significant difference in that short time
Upgrading from the 3 to the 6. I think there are enough differences from the version that I am on to justify the upgrade.
I've always been a 📱 guy! I've enjoyed all the notes Samsung made, now from the #Fold4 to the #Fold5! I've been bashing this release for weeks as the hardware is just underwhelming, but after hours and hours of reviews from gushers and haters alike, I said I wasn't going to do it, but I did it! It has seemed to win over more and more, and it's basically known as the refinement release! It's like Samsung knew it; they made the discounts and the trade-in values so good, I caved! I still believe this is the best fold in the game, software, hardware, and support combined! #Samsung #Tech #Mobile #Foldable #gotme
Hey @shanecraig ! Love your content! I also have a ZFold4 and skipped the 5. The inner screen broke cuz the protector lifted and boom new ZFold4 a few months ago....
I'm really wondering if the 6 is worth it for a tiny outer screen improvement... My 4 is still wicked powerful and fresh. Whaddya all think... Would love your thoughts :)
It definitely feels like a different phone. In a good way.
Literally went to best buy today to see what i was getting myself into with my pink fold 6. Visually? Kind of? Feeling wise? The crease is a good bit better than the fold 5 astoundingly so. not OPO good but far better than i expected. The feeling of the device in general? Yeah...i feel like its the sleeper foldable that folks wont appreciate until they have it. Guess ill wait until it gets here and see but the fold 6 display unit proved me wrong today.
I would not be surprised at all if you're right
The sharp corner digs into your hand. Any recommendations
Another great video!
When I went to see it at bestbuy I compared it to my z fold 5 and feel that the outer display was alot better for me. I use my outside display more.
I don't have a folding device but i do own an s21 pixel 8 and a few Chinese budget devices
Watching this video made me realize that it's not small phones I prefer but a less wide screen is what i prefer
Maybe I'll grab a Sony for my first 1k plus phone?
Still love the form factor of my pixel fold. Dont get it Why they have such a large and small front screen
A little money towards that 6. Thank you my friend.
Thank you!
the Z fold 6 to me seems...lackluster. Given the price bump and no real new features that i can find useful... i dont see why people would upgrade. Maybe if its their first foldable, but im more excited for the Pixel 9 pro fold!
I looks absolutely awesome and the software is also very nice
Hey Shane do you ever think we will see better IP rating than 48? Spend alot of time in dusty/sandy environments and wondering if folds will ever hold up
This top end phones like the ultra and plus phones are big ans its noc ethey are big for like media consumption and note taking like on the ultra. But damn are the phones big. I have a s23 ultra and a pixel 6a. The pixel 6a is so nice to hold and use in comparison to the big ultra. The z rold 6 is yoing to solve everytbing i have about the pixel and about the s23 ultra. A slim phone that becomes a mini tablet.
It is time to review the new Razr 50 plus !
I absolutely love my fold 5. Im in 2 minds whether to upgrade
The screen is supposedly equal to the sony Xperia 5V
I bought 2 Zold 6 From you links :)
I appreciate you!
I am so wanting to jump on the folding phone market just not if the front screen is enough went into local store today but couldn’t actually use front screen as it was clamped down hard to support a company that doesn’t charge anything which a new phone
wish they gave us a smaller size
The black camera covers make it look like a cheap Motorola phone. Id still buy it but I'll end up sticking with my z fold 4, the trade in wasn't really helpful
Im trying my hardest to skip the Fold 6 and save my S24 ultra for the S25 Ultra or Z Fold 7
Is lighter because the cameras missing lol😂😂😂
What was your favourite fold 6 color?
Pink or Blue
I've been following the trade in promo from z fold 4 to 6, AI fiture kinda gimmicky for me.
Just need a better design, maybe camera improvement and the aspect ratio of the fold itself. If samsung keep slappinng AI and called it a day for the next fold, I'll skipping them eventually. or just entirely stop upgrading phone since there's no significant performance upgrade / hardware upgrade anyway.
I wish you had gone with your OnePlus Open instead of the Pixel Fold. I will have to check out my Best Buy. My location rarely has these demos. 😢
He has all 3
@@stankozniewski9385he was talking about having his OPO with him at the store vs his Pixel Fold at that time.
I am gonna buy the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL I am not ready for a fold just yet
Again u r best
Not there yet. Last one I had was the Fold 4 and not gonna get another one until they stop being stubborn and make that outer display a reasonable width. Sadly won't even try the other Foldables from Google or Oneplus mainly due to the fact that Samsung is the only one who allows the outside and inside home screen setups to be completely different from each other. If Google did that, I'd get the Pixel Fold.
Does the pixel fold have the same camera as the regular? I know the fold 6 isn't as good as the ultra
No, the Pixel Fold does not have the same camera as the Pro Pixels.
The new Pixel 9 pro fold will have the same flagship cameras as the other pro models.
But the fold 6 looks sleeker and premium.
Anything that folds will have a crease . They cant ever fix that
Best fold is vivo x fold 3 pro
Samsung screen is far superior and more brighter soooo I'm staying with Samsung fold phones ❤
Get the fold 6 look Forward to ur. Vids
its still the oneplus open for me
Im waiting for after the Google event to make a decision
Smart
I just bought a OnePlus Open a few days ago. Would you return it and buy this? I paid $1,800
Don't..
No definitely keep your oneplus open it's a much better phone and how come u paid 1800? Mine was 1550 on discount..
@@Kemallovic Thanks, I Bought it on a whim through Amazon when I was buying the OnePlus Watch 2, which I love by the way.
No real opinion until I can review it properly
Another blunder from Samsung, hopefully the pixel fold 2 won't disappoint
Phones not even out yet settle down
We ell, the pixel fold 2 should be by default better...since most people didn't appreciate the landscape design.
Pixel soc's are rebranded exynoss chips, aka they suck.
If you like the One Plus Open you might like the GPF2... Wish they would have stayed with the GPF1 design.😢
@@gagewyant7886they are out, just not in the consumers hands yet.
How could they ever make a foldable phone without the crease ?
It’s the dumbest complaint and it’s all from people who never had one
When you own and use one, you don’t even notice the crease
Great vid as usual. Is it 25 or 45w charging ? Either way Samsung need to get a grip and get it to 67w with thier next iteration
IIRC, 25w
still looks like a remote. don't understand why they keep holding out on this remote size.
Trade in your z fold 4 towards it.
I keep older phones for comparisons later on
Shane, any plan to review Chinese foldables? They have some banger foldables. We don't have many options here apart from Scamsung, Google or Oneplus. I love my oneplus open and really curious how good non oneplus foldables like Vivo Fold X3 pro/ Mate X are.
It's definitely something that I would like to do, but the unfortunate fact of the matter is that there's just way less profitability there for coverage. I'm not going to be able to have affiliate links to help pay for the device and videos covering Chinese phones have to get about double the views to earn the same amount of revenue as a Samsung or Pixel video.
@@scaryifliteral That makes a lot of sense. I think other reviewers like Flossy Carter have admitted that they straight up buy the phones flat out from Giztop and that's how he does them. However, I think Flossy is rich cause aside from phones the car that dude drives is pretty damn gucci lol.

Nor did I claim to at any point. Headline literally reads "brief hands on." Sorry that confused you. Take the negativity elsewhere.
still prefer the OnePlus open
I agree, I love my OnePlus open,shame on Samsung, hopefully they take a hit on the fold 6 n learn their lesson
@@MrCougar56Samsung has become the apple of the android world. I'm finally going to leave them this year, for good. OnePlus all the way.
Nothing (new) to see here, folks! 😜
Z fold i much to small both display WHE WHANT A DOPPLE SCREEN FROM S 24 ULTRA PLYS S PEN
No we dont
I'm not worried about seeing as much feeling it, foldable should never have creases on them, and the design was stolen by the greatest phone ever or will be made, the note. RIP greatness.
Vivo is who I am going with after seeing the 6
Absolutely tiny little phone. Just can't do it
