I agree and he definitely will no doubt review every single foldable and nail it every single time he's literally the only reviewer I watch for any kind of tech review cause he's got the goods dudes😁
@@ashermathew2041Z Fold 3 is like $400 refurbished on Amazon. Z Fold 4 is like $650 refurbished on Amazon. Those are amazing prices. Nobody is FORCING to buy the latest model phone. Refurbished phones work perfectly fine just like brand New phones.
Why don't we just use the camera hump to argue for a bigger battery... Makes the design more flat. This obsession about thin phones killing battery for me. Battery tech is evolving where they are actually becoming lighter and holding the same capacity. Either that or go back to swappable batteries again. 0 to 100 in 10 seconds. Done
This and the obsession of tiny bezels at the expense of front facing stereo speakers and front facing camera that doesn't get in the way of the screen is the 2 most stupid things the mainstream love that is killing good phone design.
Apple did the same with the 12Pro vs the 11. With more efficient processors, both companies could keep the same battery sizes for years to come and still gain usage hours due to ever-increasing chip efficiency.
@@Jmort93 except that the 12 Pro had noticeably worse battery life compared to the 11 Pro, no amount of efficiency gains can offset the sheer difference in battery capacity (unless there's a dramatic shift in SoC architecture like from x86 to ARM on PCs)
It's not that outlandish. Battery life is more than just mah rating. Efficiency matters a ton. It's so much easier to just throw a bigger battery in any device than it is to fine tune software etc. A huge battery with an inefficient chipset is lipstick on a pig. Are batteries supposed to get larger with every phone that comes out? Cell phones have been around a while, if battery size were all people cared about phones would be 30lbs by now. I have the F6 and I easily get over a day. So mah doesn't matter to me. If you're outdoorsy and need multi day battery life you're not picking up a foldable anyway. For a multitude of reasons.
I have the money and I still can't justify paying all that money for a phone that has subpar cameras, too small outer screen and too slow charging speeds
@@nickthaskaterIt doesn't matter about other users, because his preference is a wider one... why would he care about other users?? And the charging speed were literally said to be noticeably better in the video you're commenting on... And the cameras were classed as 2nd class citizen, at that price, it should be only the best
@@nickthaskateri have been using xiaomi 12 pro with 120w. Regardless of the peak charge, it is exceptionally fast compared to samsung and iphone. Mostly full charge in just around 15min from 20%. Been using it for 2 years, battery still doing great, no issue. Once you used to it, you can't never go back to charging speed of either samsung or iPhone, they just feel so 2010.. Plus the super fast charger is included in the box 😅
Thank you for an actual review. The lip service, dog and pony reviews by CNET and other reviewers for Fold 6 had lacked depth and just don't sound like reviews from people who genuinely use foldables. It's nice to hear the fold 6 compared to other non NA market phones as well. Keep up the great reviews Mr Mobile! Even though this review was released later than everyone else's, it's the only one that counts.
They would have to make the phone a lot thicker and the big competition for foldables is thin and light currently. You're talking at least 2 mm thickness if not more for an item many don't use. It would not help
Coming from the Pixel Fold I have to say I love the Fold 6. With how long they are updating their devices now maybe R&D just isn't the priority it once was. Still feels like a very polished device compared to competition to me though
@@volkhardjuergens6190 That's EXACTLY what I've been saying after a year of use with my S23. Samsung wants to be Apple, from pricing, to a progressively more-closed ecosystem. By next spring, I'm hoping to have moved away from Samsung. Looking towards either a return to Pixel, or a move to OnePlus. (Or possibly Nothing, if they get better LTE/5G band support in NA.)
OnePlus isn't a proper option. It's China. In the Android space, the options are Samsung, Google, Sony and Asus. And not all of these even makes foldables
Subbed to you within 2 minutes of watching this because you are honest and that hot take was the one for me. You've gained a supporter and hopefully a loyal one into the future!
Yep, Wife has a Fold 3 that is dying and we pre-ordered the 6. Despite all the short cummings it is still the only real option here in Australia unfortunately. We had been in China recently and saw the amazing options they have there from Oppo and Huawei. They are way ahead.
Just out of curiosity, why is your Fold3 "dying"? What's the issue?; Is it slowing down? Battery degradation? Wear and tear? I'm on a Fold2 that I would say is doing just fine. But like you, I have also pre-ordered the Fold6.
Telstra won't sell you the Pixel Foldable? They carry Pixel phones. If you want more range just look on the usual Australian sites (if you don't mind paying outright).
The problem with folding phones expect to trade it every year slab phones are more durable can last a little longer but these folding phones you need to upgrade or find a repair service to replace a battery
I have been switching between Flips and Folds for the past 5 years so I am coming to the Fold 6 from the Fold 4. I don't know if it's because I haven't been on the fold in awhile but this Fold 6 feels fantastic. The squared sides really makes it feel great. For me the cover screen is just wide enough and the weight and thickness are pretty great. I was on the edge with trying out importing the Vivo or an Honor, but I am glad I stuck it out with the Fold6 because I am really liking it so far. The slight size changes from outer to inner screens makes it feel a bit more comfortable to me
I jumped from the fold 3 to the fold 6 because of the very good price they gave me to trade in my fold 3. You can feel the improvements in weight and thickness but my main problem was video consumption in the main screen. The crease was too noticeable to me but now with the fold 6 is way better, is still there but you really can forget about it. The cover screen is good enough for me now, is used to be a bit too narrow to type and watch videos without too much cropping. Samsung has removed almost all of the pains of daily driving a foldable with the 6, well, if you don't want the top cameras.
Crease will inCrease over time. Thats why you noticed so much difference comapring to F3. Trust me. I had inner screen replaced in my F4 after 1.5year and i forgot how small this crease were at the start. I felt like this is completely new phone.
biggest issue with foldable is the screen durability, which can be broken by using only fingernail. if they want to mass adoption they need to find a way to improve the screen
Truth be told I've had a Fold 4 for a while and have gotten no scratches on the inside screen, even while I had the screen protector off. You're never really moving with the phone unfolded since its so easy to fold back up so scratching the inside screen would be pretty difficult
I second you on this. It really is harder than you would initially think to damage the inner screen. I've had mine for two years, and, with admittedly some understanding of its durability, have yet to damage it even with my fingernails being way too long at times. Its harder than people think.
@DBD120 Yeah I see people complain about durability on the folds and I dont get it. Aside from the manufacturing defect that causes pixels near the crease to eventually die, they're perfecr. And that defect is only on select phones, seems my Fold 4 wont be encountering it as it should've happened by now if it were going to. Overall, these things are built like a tank. My Fold 4 has survived water, sand, dust, and a lot of drops. Its got some dings on it and the smaller front screen is scratched because I didnt put a screen protector on, but other than that its in perfect condition
I love my Z fold 6. Only thing I need is a flagship camera BUT the actual pictures are great and usable. Don’t let these tech people fool you. Sure limited upgrades but it’s one hell of a device! And the device doesn’t get as hot. Better heat reduction ( only time it got hot was during set up)
@@mrnarason I've used Michaels reviews for years because he is brutally honest. With the announcement of the fold 6, I wanted to see what his hot take was 🤷. Since I'm looking into FINALLY switching to a foldable, I wanted to see if the 6 was gonna be worth the extra $800. I typically by flag ship phones and keep them as a daily driver for 4-5 years, then switch to a new flag ship and push my old phone as a backup (I work overseas for most of the year and keep an extra smart phone for a hotspot or to use local sims) After this review, I'm just going to go ahead and pick up the fold 5 🤷
Just here to hear MrMobile tell a story. 😁 Great review as always, really enjoyed how you deliver each word followed by great video editing. Been following you since Pocketnow days along with Joshua Vergara..
Don't know about ya'll I've been a Regular Brick/ Slab Phone person all my life. Have Pre-Ordered my ZFold 6. Couldn't believe, firstly, how light it was. Couldn't tell a difference between the ZFold and my S22 Ultra. Secondly, I absolutely am in favour of a Thin/ Slim Cover Screen. With a device this big, it is really easy to operate the Cover Screen with 1 hand. The exact issue with OnePlus Open is that since the Cover Screen is wide, it almost makes one-hand operations impossible without doing those dangerous sliding maneuvers. OneUI really is the best of em all. S-Pen, cherry on top. What I love tho are the crazy deals Samsung offers if you Pre-Book. Can't wait for my ZFold 6 to come!
@@xelaander8429 On that I'll agree maybe. Given how minor updates the ZFold's been getting [this dude's video really puts that out in a nice perspective], many people like you are bound to feel short-changed. Although leaks and rumours suggest that maybe the ZFold 7 would be kinda revolutionary. Let's see.
Why does everyone assume people getting this fold6 are upgrading from previous fold(s) or ultras, then ripping on it. How about us people that never had a foldable yet, and are coming from budget phones like my A53 5G, a 2 year old $300 phone ( that was pretty good!) and they are still giving me $1027 for it on tradeii, i can't wait to get this fold 6 arrive to me!
@@russmode Yeah. I think that the ZFold 6 is for the first time that a Flip/ Fold Phone has caught my attention. As in, for the first time I even thought of considering to buy one. Earlier I was like nah. But the disappointment of previous-Gen users is not misplaced, and actually justified.
I recently went all in on the Apple ecosystem but I previously had the Fold 3. After holding the Fold 6 in store the difference is night and day. It feels amazing in hand, the lighter weight, improved and squared off design make it feel like a normal pocketable phone in it's folded mode.
Pound for pound (trade ins, software updates, warranty, repairs, performance) this is still the best foldable for those living in United States and Canada. Every one else yes look else where. ✌️
Yes, the US are fortunate for the deals they get that make the price factor less relevant. Still the front display remains a thorn and I am happy with my Honor Magic V2. It makes such a difference for me to have a wider front display, and the Honor cost £600 less than the Fold 6 and came with 16GB/512GB and free headpjhones (£350 retail). We are lucky in the UK to have greater smartphone choices with Xiaomi, Honor, Huawei, OPPO, etc all having local releases.
There's a reason why samsung's trade in program is so much better in the US, because of Apple. Everywhere else, they are giving you a middle finger for your pristine 1 year old phone
As someone who is still happy with the zflip3, I can't justify dropping that kind of money on a newer foldable. The closest "best deal" I can find is the Moto razor+. I'm happy with what Samsungs competition has been doing with foldables and hope that the trend continues with improvements
Crazy how more advanced the competition looks from Honor, Vivo, Xiaomi or even Oneplus (and that's a last year model). And the charging speed from 2019 is ridiculous. I currently have a Fold 5 and as much as I like Samsung and the SW/support, my next foldable will be from someone else next year.
Thank you for giving HONEST reviews dude! I've been wanting to get a fold for a long time and I think I'm just going to buy the fold 5 and save myself the money 😂
Definitely want to try the Pixel Fold 2 now. I had the open for a year now. The only thing that worries me is that Google neglects it's Regular Pixel pro features on a premium priced Fold.
After using fold 4 for 1 year 10 months, the inner screen stopped working I babied it, the screen protector is guaranteed to peel if water gets around the phone. Broke down in the worst time financially had to get s24u, I think I'll look into foldable with the fold 9 or 10. However I loved using that phone so much I still miss it despite lot of the compromises I had to endure.
@@SIPEROTH if I switched to apple I would have had to switch my watch as well, won't go to other android manufacturers due to inconsistency, and I don't want to deal with changes.
For a hardcore Samsung user the price doesn't really mean much as the pre order & trade in deals are great. With a Fold 5 trade-in I'm literally paying $625 for the new Fold 6 with a free storage upgrade.
I mean, that's not everyone. And they were getting this any which way. Almost Leasing your phone has to have some pretty big asterisks next to it as well.
@@Steriodsman1 After a few trade-ins you forget that you initially put up any money for that first device. Like I said for the hardcore Samsung user it's a no brainer. It's better than going to a different manufacturer and paying all that money. And then have the hassle of getting rid of your old phone.
The Fold 6 is just disappointing in too many ways that it shouldn't. The Samsung I used to know isn't the same Samsung anymore. By now the Z Fold 6 should look like the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro.
There's a part of me that knows he'll give credit where it's due...but I also know there's a part of me that knows he's gonna tear the fold 6 a new one. As a new owner of one for the last hour? I think I know a few of the points of what he'll go to town on and I can't blame him this time. Edit. YUP. Called it. Same problems I have. I dig it and thankfully got it for far cheaper than expected but ..yeah...same bait, slightly different hook so far. I can see my OPO or pixel fold having my Sim before long.
Hi Michael, what was your experience with Fold generations from the inner screen reliability? Do you have one that still has the original inner screen?
As someone who is getting this as my first ever foldable, this is gonna be a major improvement on all fronts for me, I’m coming from the iPhone 13 Pro, I welcome the narrower cover display with open arms, and I am not too worried about the camera quality. The reason why I got this over the OnePlus Open is because I am on a carrier contract, so I didn’t really have a choice in terms of foldables, it was either the Fold 5 or the 6, I am not that into the flips, so yeah, I didn’t really have many options. Come on AT&T, give us more options!
Hi Michael, long time follower of you since your Pocketnow days. I appreciate the review but for me coming from Fold 3 this is a HUGE leap in tech. I am absolutely loving everything about the Fold 6. Still lots of features I am yet to unearth.
While there are notable improvements (maybe more than initially meet the eye), I too am concerned about Samsung's apparent complacency with the Fold, which feels prominent to the point where they are comfortable increasing the price further despite continuing to lag behind competitors. Great coverage - looking forward the Flip 6 Review as well - one thing I am hoping for with the Flip is real improvement with the screen protector. I don't want to have to worry about the protector bubbling after 8-12 months and then worry about damaging the display if I fold it before replacing the protector immediately at a Samsung repair location. The anxiety I know I'd have around the screen protector for the Flip is just too much for me, lol.
Just wanted to pop in and say : Love your videos man , don't stop making them especially the quirky ones like the e-bike review that one was really fun. I look forward to your videos the most out of the ocean of content we're served. :}
Michel i have been following you since your early days at Pocket now....how true you are just stands out, no artificial praises, just straight to the point 👏👏
Always love your honest reviews. As a fold 5 user. I love the cover screen format currenrly. Tho like the fold 6's design more. Its nice to have both a small one handed device and tablet at the same time.
Aspect Ratio is garbage.. Literally that tall skinny screen is garbage.. It really should be wider.. I have a Note 5 i want to say, and as an iPhone user i would've totally kept it if the Cameras were Galaxy level and the aspect ratio was more wider folded.
I waited a long time to decided if I wanted an open or a fold. Then I was able to get a big discount for the open. And I don't regret my decision. Even after the 6 fold was revealed.
Ironically after having the Flip 3,4,5 I will be switching to the Fold this year. At&t was giving me more than MSRP for trading in my flip 5. It was time for a telephoto lens
5:29 - Just a small correction: The Fold2 has a 4500mAh battery and has been the last to have it since. I should know, I have one, and have just pre-ordered a Fold6. Other than that, great and honest review. I understand where you're coming from, and I myself had thoughts about waiting till the Fold7, haha. But Fold2 to Fold6 is absolutely a jump, so here goes.
People are so focused with "UPGRADING". You got to see the bigger picture. Most of people who bought the ZF6 got a foldable for the times time Me personally I'm coming from an S21U, so it's a massive upgrade in my case, and I don't change phones regularly, maybe 3 or 4 years. Plus with the trade in offer I'm only paying $650 for the ZF6, while trading-in a broken Note3 that doesn't even turn on lol. People should stop measuring phones compared to their previous year and focus on the overall value of the device. I wouldn't buy a $2k phone at all if it weren't for the trade in offers of course.
They are not necessarily comparing year-on-year, it is more a comparison versus the competition from China which are far superior in most regards, including: 1/ 5000mah+ batteries 2/ 3X faster charging 3/ Better camera hardware 4/ Wider front display 5/ 16GB RAM options 6/ Much lower pricing outside N America for Chinese phones with superior pre-order deals. 7/ Better display insurance. In the UK no option to insure display for more than a year--Moto has a three-year option for £140. It is hard for me to see anyone defend the Galaxy Fold without thinking they are apologists. But I guess Samsung are happy with what they are doing for their fanbase and the rest of us will knock the Fold off our shortlist.
I have a few questions. How significant is the upgrade from the Fold 3 to the Fold 6? Does it make more sense to upgrade to the Fold 5 instead? If not the Fold series, which foldable phone would you recommend for someone who values advanced technology and works in IT? Alternatively, is there a non-foldable phone you recommend? I loved my Samsung Note phones and hoped the Samsung Fold would become the new Note but with a foldable feature.
I finally just upgraded from my z fold 3 to the 6, because my 3 no longer charges, wired or wirelessly. I'm keen to repair my phones rather than replace, and I've been fixing phones for 15 years but even I.... am not brave enough to open my z fold 3. Great video as always sir
I don't know... I'm still waiting for my z fold 6 from spectrum... They are on back order... I've got the one plus open and the Google fold, so I'm not sure I'm gonna like the Samsung since I traded the z fold 5 for the one plus open... And all the TH-cam reviewers aren't too Keen on it... Maybe I cancel my order... What do you think if you've got this one?
Hi Mr Mobile, waited since the announcement on your review for this phone 👍🏻 Anyway, long time iPhone user here, I’m contemplating the idea of picking up a foldable. Obviously it’s available only in the android world. I’m not a heavy ecosystem person, so it’s not really a pain to move. BUT my biggest question is, do you foresee foldable from brands like vivo or OnePlus able to last for 3 years with the internal screen? I know this is heavily depend on the usage rate, I see myself as an average user (if your usage during review is a 10 I maybe a 4 daily) I live in singapore so the weather is hot all year around (no winter) Based on your years of experience with foldable, do you think those brands can last a good 3 years?
I always wait for your Reviews. I only trust you, I never bought a phone in the last 6 years before watching a review of yours. I'm changing them every year so your Reviews are very important for me.
Coming from a Fold 4, this phone has decent improvements and I'm very happy with it. The wider front screen, even 1mm more, makes a big difference. It's thinner, lighter and much better hinge. I don't know why people are expecting big changes every year. Most people don't buy every year. The R&D to make sweeping changes is way too expensive. Also it will make people always want to wait until next year to purchase.
one funny thing is when I actually measured oneplus open and fold 6 fold 6 was measured at 241 g and open was 250g wasn't sure where that gap came from
You nailed it! I don't regret upgrading from the ZF4 to the 5 because there was a pretty noticeable jump in build quality and little else. But your video has confirmed what I suspected and no other creators are talking about: waste of money.
After 6 version, do you still dent your screen if you are a person that have nails at the end of your fingers ? Because everyone i know who buy a fold end up with a deformed or broken screen in matter of months. That the only upgrade we need right now...
Michael I Love you Man. I waited specifically for this phone to arrive & the moment I saw that they cheated again on the widening of the outer screen and the lack of a charger or a S pen that can be stored in the phone I discarded my fold and I am officially a One Plus Ho😂😂😂😂😂 THE ONE PLUS OPEN IS THE BEST FOLD!!!❤
Another fine masterpiece, and of course information that is useful on the fold6🤟🏻 long time viewer more than multiple years probably your whole career before Mr. mobile
I was looking at switching from iPhone to either the Z Fold 6 or the next Pixel Fold. Looking forward to your review on theirs before I make the decision.
I upgraded to Fold 6 from Flip 3 since the back glass broke one day. I love the bigger foldable but the camera is nowhere as good as it should be for 1.6L₹. One of the most underrated feature from samsung is good lock. Google/Oneplus lack that level of customisation and that single app suite is the reason I am still rocking a samsung. Great video as always Mr.Mobile
I've had my zflip3 for three years and was waiting for the zflip6 to upgrade, but I don't like the look of it. The only thing keeping me away from the zfolds were how monstrously big they are. But I love how much it's slimmed down this year, and im getting it as soon as it goes on sale.
This has done it - was waiting for the king of foldable reviews and he came through. Have been sitting on the fence about pre-ordering the 6 to get in on some of the deals - I've still got the 3 and it was replaced last year for a brand new one phone due to a warranty issue. For my needs, I can't see how this has moved the dial where I'd get a overall experience improvement to match the high cost of an upgrade (perhaps some reliability improvements aside).. Will wait for the Pixel Fold now.
All manufacturers should learn a lot from Honor about how to truly modernize battery and charging technology. 5,500 mAh in the Magic V3 and 66W charging without performance loss is incredible for today's standards.
The price is nuts but (here in Europe) you can already find it for €1,400 (down from €2,000) only 10 days after launch, which speaks for Samsung's terrible resale value - but it's awesome if you want a "bargain". 8:22 I think you're being a bit unfair here. Software features like Summarize (web pages), Circle to Search, Chat translate, and Sketch to Image are new to the Fold 6 - they are super useful, and work very well.
Two days ago my Z Fold 4 inner display just stopped working. I had opened it and used it earlier in the day with no problems, then about an hour and a half later I opened it to a black screen. Even the outer display wouldn't come on. I tried several button holds and the outside one will come on as long as I don't open the inside screen. I'll get a System UI error once it has restarted. If I barely open the phone as it is restarting the inner display will come on, then it will shut off if I open it further and the outside display takes about 45 seconds to start working again. The interface will be slow and not responsive. It's so weird. This is my second Fold 4. I'm still loving the form factor, but I hate this uncertainty about it as a solid piece of hardware. Plus if the screen had just waited another two months I'd have the money to trade it in. Now I won't be able to trade it in for the higher offer.

Yah, may as well also move the USB-C port to camera bump. Then the rest of the phone can go even thinner than the port.
@@Fearrange Don't give them any ideas

5:33 crazy part, the Fold2 actually had a slightly BIGGER battery than every one of its successors, at 4500mAh ;)
Came here to say that. It got reduced to 4400mAh on Fold 3 and stayed that way up to Fold 6... sad

The lip service, dog and pony reviews by CNET and other reviewers for Fold 6 had lacked depth and just don't sound like reviews from people who genuinely use foldables.
It's nice to hear the fold 6 compared to other non NA market phones as well.
Keep up the great reviews Mr Mobile! Even though this review was released later than everyone else's, it's the only one that counts.
The fact that there is still no place to store the pen is such a disgrace. The only way to carry a pen is to buy a hideous case.
They would have to make the phone a lot thicker and the big competition for foldables is thin and light currently. You're talking at least 2 mm thickness if not more for an item many don't use. It would not help
Coming from the Pixel Fold I have to say I love the Fold 6. With how long they are updating their devices now maybe R&D just isn't the priority it once was. Still feels like a very polished device compared to competition to me though
It's not a hideous case. I know it's sucks we need that but I like the spen case
How the price went up?? They didnt even change to Titanium
Greedflation

Do you know what inflation is?

@@volkhardjuergens6190 That's EXACTLY what I've been saying after a year of use with my S23. Samsung wants to be Apple, from pricing, to a progressively more-closed ecosystem.
By next spring, I'm hoping to have moved away from Samsung. Looking towards either a return to Pixel, or a move to OnePlus. (Or possibly Nothing, if they get better LTE/5G band support in NA.)

I agree I switched the OnePlus fold and actually prefer over my previous Samsung fold
OnePlus isn't a proper option. It's China.
In the Android space, the options are Samsung, Google, Sony and Asus. And not all of these even makes foldables
@@BaardFigur fair comment but have to say I have been super impressed with my OnePlus

So surreal to see my favorite TH-camr taking a walk in the city I live in. Thanks for another excellent video!
Subbed to you within 2 minutes of watching this because you are honest and that hot take was the one for me. You've gained a supporter and hopefully a loyal one into the future!
HOW is this not at least among the top 5 tech channels on TH-cam, I'll never understand. Awesome review video as always, Michael!
I can't think of a better reviewer for this (and all high end phones) than you. Thank you for all the minor details you cover!
Yep, Wife has a Fold 3 that is dying and we pre-ordered the 6. Despite all the short cummings it is still the only real option here in Australia unfortunately. We had been in China recently and saw the amazing options they have there from Oppo and Huawei. They are way ahead.
Just out of curiosity, why is your Fold3 "dying"? What's the issue?; Is it slowing down? Battery degradation? Wear and tear? I'm on a Fold2 that I would say is doing just fine. But like you, I have also pre-ordered the Fold6.
Short WHAT?
Telstra won't sell you the Pixel Foldable? They carry Pixel phones.
If you want more range just look on the usual Australian sites (if you don't mind paying outright).
Check out the Honor Magic V3!
The problem with folding phones expect to trade it every year slab phones are more durable can last a little longer but these folding phones you need to upgrade or find a repair service to replace a battery
I have been switching between Flips and Folds for the past 5 years so I am coming to the Fold 6 from the Fold 4. I don't know if it's because I haven't been on the fold in awhile but this Fold 6 feels fantastic. The squared sides really makes it feel great. For me the cover screen is just wide enough and the weight and thickness are pretty great. I was on the edge with trying out importing the Vivo or an Honor, but I am glad I stuck it out with the Fold6 because I am really liking it so far. The slight size changes from outer to inner screens makes it feel a bit more comfortable to me
I jumped from the fold 3 to the fold 6 because of the very good price they gave me to trade in my fold 3. You can feel the improvements in weight and thickness but my main problem was video consumption in the main screen. The crease was too noticeable to me but now with the fold 6 is way better, is still there but you really can forget about it. The cover screen is good enough for me now, is used to be a bit too narrow to type and watch videos without too much cropping. Samsung has removed almost all of the pains of daily driving a foldable with the 6, well, if you don't want the top cameras.
This is the only upgrade worth making. Anyone else who had the fold 4 or 5 shouldn't bother upgrading to the 6
Crease will inCrease over time. Thats why you noticed so much difference comapring to F3. Trust me. I had inner screen replaced in my F4 after 1.5year and i forgot how small this crease were at the start. I felt like this is completely new phone.
As someone who had all the Folds except the OG - Fold 3 has the best aspect ratio when opened
biggest issue with foldable is the screen durability, which can be broken by using only fingernail. if they want to mass adoption they need to find a way to improve the screen
And lower the price lol.
Truth be told I've had a Fold 4 for a while and have gotten no scratches on the inside screen, even while I had the screen protector off. You're never really moving with the phone unfolded since its so easy to fold back up so scratching the inside screen would be pretty difficult
I second you on this. It really is harder than you would initially think to damage the inner screen. I've had mine for two years, and, with admittedly some understanding of its durability, have yet to damage it even with my fingernails being way too long at times. Its harder than people think.
@DBD120 Yeah I see people complain about durability on the folds and I dont get it. Aside from the manufacturing defect that causes pixels near the crease to eventually die, they're perfecr. And that defect is only on select phones, seems my Fold 4 wont be encountering it as it should've happened by now if it were going to.
Overall, these things are built like a tank. My Fold 4 has survived water, sand, dust, and a lot of drops. Its got some dings on it and the smaller front screen is scratched because I didnt put a screen protector on, but other than that its in perfect condition
I went from Fold 4 to Fold 6. I am happy with the refinements. I do still miss my S21 Ultra with 10x zoom. The lack of camera updates is disappointing
I love my Z fold 6. Only thing I need is a flagship camera BUT the actual pictures are great and usable. Don’t let these tech people fool you. Sure limited upgrades but it’s one hell of a device! And the device doesn’t get as hot. Better heat reduction ( only time it got hot was during set up)
I've literally been checking your channel 5 times a day waiting for this video 😂
Haha he's really the king of foldable reviews huh! I've been doing the same - skipping the 6 now
why lol, this is the same phone
@@mrnarason I've used Michaels reviews for years because he is brutally honest. With the announcement of the fold 6, I wanted to see what his hot take was 🤷. Since I'm looking into FINALLY switching to a foldable, I wanted to see if the 6 was gonna be worth the extra $800.
I typically by flag ship phones and keep them as a daily driver for 4-5 years, then switch to a new flag ship and push my old phone as a backup (I work overseas for most of the year and keep an extra smart phone for a hotspot or to use local sims)
After this review, I'm just going to go ahead and pick up the fold 5 🤷

Just here to hear MrMobile tell a story. 😁 Great review as always, really enjoyed how you deliver each word followed by great video editing. Been following you since Pocketnow days along with Joshua Vergara..
watching this on my freshly unboxed flip6. First time flipper, long time watcher.
Don't know about ya'll
I've been a Regular Brick/ Slab Phone person all my life.
Have Pre-Ordered my ZFold 6.
Couldn't believe, firstly, how light it was. Couldn't tell a difference between the ZFold and my S22 Ultra.
Secondly, I absolutely am in favour of a Thin/ Slim Cover Screen. With a device this big, it is really easy to operate the Cover Screen with 1 hand.
The exact issue with OnePlus Open is that since the Cover Screen is wide, it almost makes one-hand operations impossible without doing those dangerous sliding maneuvers.
OneUI really is the best of em all. S-Pen, cherry on top.
What I love tho are the crazy deals Samsung offers if you Pre-Book.
Can't wait for my ZFold 6 to come!
I agree with this sentiment almost entirely, but the phone is a slap in the face to Samsung fold faithfuls who only get incremental updates
@@xelaander8429 On that I'll agree maybe.
Given how minor updates the ZFold's been getting [this dude's video really puts that out in a nice perspective], many people like you are bound to feel short-changed.
Although leaks and rumours suggest that maybe the ZFold 7 would be kinda revolutionary.
Let's see.
Why does everyone assume people getting this fold6 are upgrading from previous fold(s) or ultras, then ripping on it. How about us people that never had a foldable yet, and are coming from budget phones like my A53 5G, a 2 year old $300 phone ( that was pretty good!) and they are still giving me $1027 for it on tradeii, i can't wait to get this fold 6 arrive to me!
@@russmode Yeah. I think that the ZFold 6 is for the first time that a Flip/ Fold Phone has caught my attention.
As in, for the first time I even thought of considering to buy one.
Earlier I was like nah.
But the disappointment of previous-Gen users is not misplaced, and actually justified.
I recently went all in on the Apple ecosystem but I previously had the Fold 3. After holding the Fold 6 in store the difference is night and day. It feels amazing in hand, the lighter weight, improved and squared off design make it feel like a normal pocketable phone in it's folded mode.
Pound for pound (trade ins, software updates, warranty, repairs, performance) this is still the best foldable for those living in United States and Canada. Every one else yes look else where. ✌️
Yes, the US are fortunate for the deals they get that make the price factor less relevant. Still the front display remains a thorn and I am happy with my Honor Magic V2. It makes such a difference for me to have a wider front display, and the Honor cost £600 less than the Fold 6 and came with 16GB/512GB and free headpjhones (£350 retail). We are lucky in the UK to have greater smartphone choices with Xiaomi, Honor, Huawei, OPPO, etc all having local releases.
r/usdefaultism
There's a reason why samsung's trade in program is so much better in the US, because of Apple. Everywhere else, they are giving you a middle finger for your pristine 1 year old phone
Worst part is, the OnePlus Open is from last year and it's still competing harder than ever!
There's a reason I never felt a need to upgrade from the Open even after the fold 6 release
As someone who is still happy with the zflip3, I can't justify dropping that kind of money on a newer foldable. The closest "best deal" I can find is the Moto razor+. I'm happy with what Samsungs competition has been doing with foldables and hope that the trend continues with improvements
You in the USA?
With the trade-in discount, the Fold 6 is a much better deal.
@@costafilh0yeah but the upgrades are very minor
@@JeskidoYT Coming from Flip 3 to Fold 6? I strongly disagree.
Crazy how more advanced the competition looks from Honor, Vivo, Xiaomi or even Oneplus (and that's a last year model). And the charging speed from 2019 is ridiculous. I currently have a Fold 5 and as much as I like Samsung and the SW/support, my next foldable will be from someone else next year.
Thank you for giving HONEST reviews dude! I've been wanting to get a fold for a long time and I think I'm just going to buy the fold 5 and save myself the money 😂
Definitely want to try the Pixel Fold 2 now. I had the open for a year now. The only thing that worries me is that Google neglects it's Regular Pixel pro features on a premium priced Fold.
After using fold 4 for 1 year 10 months, the inner screen stopped working I babied it, the screen protector is guaranteed to peel if water gets around the phone.
Broke down in the worst time financially had to get s24u, I think I'll look into foldable with the fold 9 or 10.
However I loved using that phone so much I still miss it despite lot of the compromises I had to endure.
I like how you get bad products from a company and you still buy from same company without even a thought.
@@SIPEROTH if I switched to apple I would have had to switch my watch as well, won't go to other android manufacturers due to inconsistency, and I don't want to deal with changes.
Fold 4 is the least reliable of the folds series
So I have a fold 3... would you say the jump from 3 to 6 is significant enough to upgrade?
For a hardcore Samsung user the price doesn't really mean much as the pre order & trade in deals are great. With a Fold 5 trade-in I'm literally paying $625 for the new Fold 6 with a free storage upgrade.
I mean, that's not everyone. And they were getting this any which way. Almost Leasing your phone has to have some pretty big asterisks next to it as well.
Well only the US gets these generous trade ins, rest of the world have to suck it and pay up the price hike.
@@Steriodsman1 After a few trade-ins you forget that you initially put up any money for that first device. Like I said for the hardcore Samsung user it's a no brainer. It's better than going to a different manufacturer and paying all that money. And then have the hassle of getting rid of your old phone.
I love Michael videos man , he never hesited to criticize where company nedds criticism
The Fold 6 is just disappointing in too many ways that it shouldn't. The Samsung I used to know isn't the same Samsung anymore.
By now the Z Fold 6 should look like the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro.
ZF3 to ZF6, cant wait for mine! Thanks Captain Two Phones for this coverage.
There's a part of me that knows he'll give credit where it's due...but I also know there's a part of me that knows he's gonna tear the fold 6 a new one. As a new owner of one for the last hour? I think I know a few of the points of what he'll go to town on and I can't blame him this time.
Edit. YUP. Called it. Same problems I have. I dig it and thankfully got it for far cheaper than expected but ..yeah...same bait, slightly different hook so far. I can see my OPO or pixel fold having my Sim before long.
Hi Michael, what was your experience with Fold generations from the inner screen reliability? Do you have one that still has the original inner screen?
Samsung is the Apple of Android phones. Small incremental updates, big price hike.
What is your actual daily driver?
I've been waiting for your review 👏👏 got my coffee, I'm ready!
As someone who is getting this as my first ever foldable, this is gonna be a major improvement on all fronts for me, I’m coming from the iPhone 13 Pro, I welcome the narrower cover display with open arms, and I am not too worried about the camera quality. The reason why I got this over the OnePlus Open is because I am on a carrier contract, so I didn’t really have a choice in terms of foldables, it was either the Fold 5 or the 6, I am not that into the flips, so yeah, I didn’t really have many options. Come on AT&T, give us more options!
I can almost see exactly why Samsung employees are on a historic strike at the moment.
Hi Michael, long time follower of you since your Pocketnow days. I appreciate the review but for me coming from Fold 3 this is a HUGE leap in tech. I am absolutely loving everything about the Fold 6. Still lots of features I am yet to unearth.
Michael!! Love your videos, years suscribed...greetings from Mendoza Argentina...
While there are notable improvements (maybe more than initially meet the eye), I too am concerned about Samsung's apparent complacency with the Fold, which feels prominent to the point where they are comfortable increasing the price further despite continuing to lag behind competitors.
Great coverage - looking forward the Flip 6 Review as well - one thing I am hoping for with the Flip is real improvement with the screen protector. I don't want to have to worry about the protector bubbling after 8-12 months and then worry about damaging the display if I fold it before replacing the protector immediately at a Samsung repair location. The anxiety I know I'd have around the screen protector for the Flip is just too much for me, lol.
It feels like Samsung is now the Apple of Android phones if you look at their flagships.

Watching this on my fold 6, just came in today. the hype is real
How is the aspect ratio when watching movies?
@tyronebiggums69 its same as previous gen. You have to unfold and turn it horizontally. Need better aspect ratio like oppo or pixel.
@@user-dibribhsvj36d ahhh. I've never actually used one before.
There literally has been no hype over this phone. Unless you mean the disappointment is real.
Always love your honest reviews.
As a fold 5 user. I love the cover screen format currenrly. Tho like the fold 6's design more. Its nice to have both a small one handed device and tablet at the same time.
Aspect Ratio is garbage.. Literally that tall skinny screen is garbage.. It really should be wider.. I have a Note 5 i want to say, and as an iPhone user i would've totally kept it if the Cameras were Galaxy level and the aspect ratio was more wider folded.
I waited a long time to decided if I wanted an open or a fold. Then I was able to get a big discount for the open. And I don't regret my decision. Even after the 6 fold was revealed.
Ironically after having the Flip 3,4,5 I will be switching to the Fold this year. At&t was giving me more than MSRP for trading in my flip 5. It was time for a telephoto lens
There's fold slim in the making
Wait for it
It should be released at the end of the year
5:29 - Just a small correction: The Fold2 has a 4500mAh battery and has been the last to have it since. I should know, I have one, and have just pre-ordered a Fold6.
Other than that, great and honest review. I understand where you're coming from, and I myself had thoughts about waiting till the Fold7, haha. But Fold2 to Fold6 is absolutely a jump, so here goes.
People are so focused with "UPGRADING". You got to see the bigger picture. Most of people who bought the ZF6 got a foldable for the times time Me personally I'm coming from an S21U, so it's a massive upgrade in my case, and I don't change phones regularly, maybe 3 or 4 years. Plus with the trade in offer I'm only paying $650 for the ZF6, while trading-in a broken Note3 that doesn't even turn on lol. People should stop measuring phones compared to their previous year and focus on the overall value of the device. I wouldn't buy a $2k phone at all if it weren't for the trade in offers of course.
They are not necessarily comparing year-on-year, it is more a comparison versus the competition from China which are far superior in most regards, including:
1/ 5000mah+ batteries
2/ 3X faster charging
3/ Better camera hardware
4/ Wider front display
5/ 16GB RAM options
6/ Much lower pricing outside N America for Chinese phones with superior pre-order deals.
7/ Better display insurance. In the UK no option to insure display for more than a year--Moto has a three-year option for £140.
It is hard for me to see anyone defend the Galaxy Fold without thinking they are apologists. But I guess Samsung are happy with what they are doing for their fanbase and the rest of us will knock the Fold off our shortlist.
I have a few questions. How significant is the upgrade from the Fold 3 to the Fold 6? Does it make more sense to upgrade to the Fold 5 instead? If not the Fold series, which foldable phone would you recommend for someone who values advanced technology and works in IT? Alternatively, is there a non-foldable phone you recommend? I loved my Samsung Note phones and hoped the Samsung Fold would become the new Note but with a foldable feature.
Honor and Xiaomi foldables are getting cheaper and cheaper, meanwhile Samsung.... 😅
I finally just upgraded from my z fold 3 to the 6, because my 3 no longer charges, wired or wirelessly. I'm keen to repair my phones rather than replace, and I've been fixing phones for 15 years but even I.... am not brave enough to open my z fold 3.
Great video as always sir
Wooo Mr mobile.....this will make my day
I don't know... I'm still waiting for my z fold 6 from spectrum... They are on back order... I've got the one plus open and the Google fold, so I'm not sure I'm gonna like the Samsung since I traded the z fold 5 for the one plus open... And all the TH-cam reviewers aren't too Keen on it... Maybe I cancel my order... What do you think if you've got this one?
Just upgraded from a fold 3 to the Honour Magic V2 and I'm in love with it!
I went from Fold 4 to V2 and agree that the Honor is great. Certainly until Samsung widens the front display they have lost my business.
It's crazy how Samsung used to make fun of Apple for not innovating and now they're doing the same thing.
Far too small not wide enough. Far too expensive. No Flagship cameras...
Hi Mr Mobile, waited since the announcement on your review for this phone 👍🏻
Anyway, long time iPhone user here, I’m contemplating the idea of picking up a foldable. Obviously it’s available only in the android world. I’m not a heavy ecosystem person, so it’s not really a pain to move.
BUT my biggest question is, do you foresee foldable from brands like vivo or OnePlus able to last for 3 years with the internal screen?
I know this is heavily depend on the usage rate, I see myself as an average user (if your usage during review is a 10 I maybe a 4 daily)
I live in singapore so the weather is hot all year around (no winter)
Based on your years of experience with foldable, do you think those brands can last a good 3 years?
They could have done more. But you have to use the fold 6 in person, it's so good
I always wait for your Reviews. I only trust you, I never bought a phone in the last 6 years before watching a review of yours. I'm changing them every year so your Reviews are very important for me.
Pre ordered the navy blue color. Can’t wait for it to get here
This is what I call a feel good, laid back and relaxing review......well done!
Even if folding phones were cheap, I'm not sure I would buy one. I think I would rather prefer a small, well built classic smartphone.
Is it durable enough to be carried in a pants' front-pocket without a protective casing?
Coming from a Fold 4, this phone has decent improvements and I'm very happy with it. The wider front screen, even 1mm more, makes a big difference. It's thinner, lighter and much better hinge.
I don't know why people are expecting big changes every year. Most people don't buy every year. The R&D to make sweeping changes is way too expensive.
Also it will make people always want to wait until next year to purchase.
great video as always Michael 🖖🏾 but what exactly does Open Canvas and Pixel's offer in terms of multitasking that One UI doesn't?
one funny thing is when I actually measured oneplus open and fold 6
fold 6 was measured at 241 g
and open was 250g
wasn't sure where that gap came from
You nailed it! I don't regret upgrading from the ZF4 to the 5 because there was a pretty noticeable jump in build quality and little else. But your video has confirmed what I suspected and no other creators are talking about: waste of money.
Samsung is going full applefication, while apple is going androification
After 6 version, do you still dent your screen if you are a person that have nails at the end of your fingers ? Because everyone i know who buy a fold end up with a deformed or broken screen in matter of months. That the only upgrade we need right now...
Michael I Love you Man. I waited specifically for this phone to arrive & the moment I saw that they cheated again on the widening of the outer screen and the lack of a charger or a S pen that can be stored in the phone I discarded my fold and I am officially a One Plus Ho😂😂😂😂😂 THE ONE PLUS OPEN IS THE BEST FOLD!!!❤
Yea, the Fold 6 is a pos.
Mr Mobile. Whats your favourite fold/flip? Greetings from Dundalk, Ireland
Samsung got super lazy over the years
Another fine masterpiece, and of course information that is useful on the fold6🤟🏻 long time viewer more than multiple years probably your whole career before Mr. mobile
I was looking at switching from iPhone to either the Z Fold 6 or the next Pixel Fold. Looking forward to your review on theirs before I make the decision.
I upgraded to Fold 6 from Flip 3 since the back glass broke one day. I love the bigger foldable but the camera is nowhere as good as it should be for 1.6L₹. One of the most underrated feature from samsung is good lock. Google/Oneplus lack that level of customisation and that single app suite is the reason I am still rocking a samsung. Great video as always Mr.Mobile
Finally upgraded my Fold2. RRP is expensive but I got mine for 50% of that by pre-ordering. Maybe consider this in your reviews?
I've had my zflip3 for three years and was waiting for the zflip6 to upgrade, but I don't like the look of it. The only thing keeping me away from the zfolds were how monstrously big they are. But I love how much it's slimmed down this year, and im getting it as soon as it goes on sale.
Best honest and transparent review of the Fold 6 by far.... Massive respect
This has done it - was waiting for the king of foldable reviews and he came through. Have been sitting on the fence about pre-ordering the 6 to get in on some of the deals - I've still got the 3 and it was replaced last year for a brand new one phone due to a warranty issue. For my needs, I can't see how this has moved the dial where I'd get a overall experience improvement to match the high cost of an upgrade (perhaps some reliability improvements aside)..
Will wait for the Pixel Fold now.
All manufacturers should learn a lot from Honor about how to truly modernize battery and charging technology. 5,500 mAh in the Magic V3 and 66W charging without performance loss is incredible for today's standards.
The price is nuts but (here in Europe) you can already find it for €1,400 (down from €2,000) only 10 days after launch, which speaks for Samsung's terrible resale value - but it's awesome if you want a "bargain". 8:22 I think you're being a bit unfair here. Software features like Summarize (web pages), Circle to Search, Chat translate, and Sketch to Image are new to the Fold 6 - they are super useful, and work very well.
Two days ago my Z Fold 4 inner display just stopped working. I had opened it and used it earlier in the day with no problems, then about an hour and a half later I opened it to a black screen. Even the outer display wouldn't come on. I tried several button holds and the outside one will come on as long as I don't open the inside screen. I'll get a System UI error once it has restarted. If I barely open the phone as it is restarting the inner display will come on, then it will shut off if I open it further and the outside display takes about 45 seconds to start working again. The interface will be slow and not responsive. It's so weird. This is my second Fold 4. I'm still loving the form factor, but I hate this uncertainty about it as a solid piece of hardware. Plus if the screen had just waited another two months I'd have the money to trade it in. Now I won't be able to trade it in for the higher offer.
The content quality is just top class. I wish him a lot of success in his career.
Waiting for more videos.
