Samsung folds are garbage compared to their Chinese counterparts. Even the Ultras are being ridiculed in every department by Chinese phones, only very slightly lacking behind. Samsung has only got Good Lock, Samsung Pay and DeX to their advantage but not much else... My main a Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and a brand new S24U as backup phone just because the resale value of the Folds is garbage and only Samsung will give decent trade in value... Even the S24 Ultra only shines in the video stabilization and smoothness. For the camera it's a loser.
What most people never talk about is the fold capabilities for working on documents. The larger screen makes it much better to work on office documents. I did all my job applications on my phone, sitting or laying on the couch. It is working really well.
Same, I can need to travel unexpectedly at last minute and if I have my fold with me I can survive for a couple of days without a desktop or laptop as I can still work on Excel, Word and PowerBi information efficiently. Remote Desktop also comes in use when I am travelling for longer periods too and need to use more bespoke applications. Dex is useful when I have a usb c to hdmi cable on me as I can then connect to a hotel TV for a bigger display to work on too. It really is a solid all round road warrior device. I just wish it was a bit more durable as after 2 years of heavy use I have had to replace the front screen after it cracked on my fold 4 and now the inner screen is developing thr black line of death. But given I use it all day everyday in all different conditions I probably can't complain to much given the productivity improvement it's given me.
Same. I work remote solely using my Z fold 5 for Zendesk, Slack and credit card processing. I just use my desktop now for faxing and printing. As a small business owner, all those other specs in the comment section are utterly futile to my $$$ grind.
switched from the S24 Ultra to the Fold 6, and I love it for my daily use. I no longer need to carry my iPad or Galaxy Tab to watch videos or get things done. It's perfect for my needs, and I think some people are missing the point. These two devices serve completely different purposes. The S24U has the best specs, hands down, but I don’t take many photos like my wife does, and I barely use the S Pen. I also don’t understand why people complain about the outer screen size-it’s meant for quick texts or basic one-handed tasks. The big inner screen is where you do all the core stuff. The only thing I miss from my S24U is the super fast charging 2.0.
The little fold screen with that aspect ratio compared to the tab s10 ultra....thanks but no thanks....I will stick with my s24 ultra and tab s8 ultra.... real great for watching vids.
@MKRNaqeebi that's not the point of the video. The video is explaining the features of both phones to help you in determining which phone works for you personally. So watching the video is worth it.
Had the choice between both, and went with the 24ultra, dont like the crease on the screen and my work is rather dirty and simply dont trust the folding mechanism or the inner screens longevity, cameras on the 24ultra is the win as well
I'm a builder and had no problem, the crease is unseen when viewing from the front, especially in door use like when your back home.. travelling.. perfect for flights. I tend not to unfold it much when out at work and enjoy unfolding when I'm chilling
This is my first foldable phone and I think that's an excuse. The crease is barely visible at all majority of the time I forget it's there, and in certain angles it's completely non existent.
Be very careful with the fold devices. I currently have the Z fold 4 and will be going to the S24 ultra next week. The inner screen display on the fold is extremely fragile, mine ended up with a purple laser line going through the middle after just 6 months of owning it. That on top of how the crease gradually gets more noticeable over time has put me off of the fold completely.
My fold 3 had the inner replaced under warranty after a year. When the screen starts to show wear again, I'll be moving back to the S24 probably. Fold is good, but the screen is still a little fragile
I've had 3 Folds. They're all great.... until the first time they need to be repaired. Dead pixels, line down the middle, hinges not opening or folding all the way. I'm sticking with 24 Ultra for now. Be wary of the flaws...
Had the fold 4 and now 5, just replaced a 4 month old one for a hole developing in the inner screen on the crease. And the one before that got the black line down the crease after about 8 months and stopped working entirely. I love the fold functionality, but they clearly have issues with the inner screen.
So true, Z Fold 5 - 14 Months and line in a display and now it's black. Out of warranty and repairing is like up to 700€. Customer support is absolutly bad.
S24 ultra is the best for me. I know a few people with the fold, and they love them. But I am a bit clumsy and can't handle not having full body case protection on my phone. My friend dropped his z fold 6 on the corner a week into having it. The inner screen immediately got the ink blot damage. It will keep me away until the screens have more durability. Plus I can't spend 2 thousand on a phone. I got my s24 ultra and the ultra watch with buds 3 for 1250. Total. I just traded in a s20 fe and took advantage of the deals on my carrier.
For me, my 24 Ultra will remain my best choice. The fold aspect ratios are off on both screens. There isn't a real advantage with the Fold when watching video content (16:9 or even 21:9), just too much black bars and the actual content size is similar to the S24 Ultra. The large screen usefulness is in the rest of the UI usage, i.e. messaging, multitasking, notes, drawing, etc. Would still go for the chinese foldables over Sammy to be honest. Sammy is safe most have not launched global versions.
And other things, like the multi screen for multiple apps. Yes the S24U can do it, but the extra screen makes it better on the fold 6. I for one, like reading kindle books and studying. It's MUCH better on the fold as it takes the whole screen. If one's priority is media solely, then it makes no sense to spend the extra for the fold due to the aspect ratios as you mentioned. But for people who utilize many apps that can take advantage of the full screen (such as myself), who was also in the market for a tablet, but don't want to have to carry an additional device, the fold is just better.
@@Bread_n_Butter. Idk man, it makes more sense to me to buy a separate tablet 😆 You could get a nice phone and tablet… and still save money. Unless you really REALLY need to have these 2in1. For me: square aspect ratio, visible crease, smaller battery, worse cameras - are the compromises that I’m NOT willing to make.
As a owner of Fold 4, I won't go back to another fold until there is a slot for the s-pen, wider outer screen, and the inner screen is more durable. I've busted my screen twice within the 2 years I've had it. I love the usability of the Fold but it has a bit more issues to work out before it becomes a real contender.
Having had the 13Pro (still use this phone) and the S22 ultra, now upgraded to the S24 ultra, I have to admit I really was planning to go for the Fold6. Why I didn’t go for the Fold at the end of the day? 1) Price- I find the price difference simply too high, even if you would consider the Fold6 the winner 2) Unless you really need a bigger screen and need to make selfies with the back camera and/or want to multitask in split screens, then you could consider the Fold6 over the S24 3) Although the weight is almost the same, because the Fold is more compact, it feels heavier (tested myself in the store and confirmed by Fold-users) 4) I don’t use the S-pen daily, but this feature weighs in heavier than the larger screen, and to add to that the larger screen doesn’t allow me to see more of TH-cam for example than on the S24. In other words, the real advantage is that you can split into multiple screens to multitask 5) Camera: better photos and films. non-debatable
I had every fold apart from the 6, moved to the s24ultra prefer it for camera and battery, but mainly the durability dont have to worry about phone when i take it out, had 3 folds fail 2 hinges and 1 screen.
@@admckenna1870 just dropped my fold 4 today so sad. Fixed it like a month ago hinge again ,🤣 just one drop come on. So thinking to get ,s24. I can't understand how from one drop hinge gets broken so easy
This is the comment I was looking for. I have a fold 3 and the inside plastic cover has gone on me 3 times. The fold doesn't feel as sturdy as a normal phone either. Do you think I should wait for the s25 or get the fold 6? I have the fold 3 right now
@@Sheddingreally depends on what you want, I have a ZF5 & a S24 Ultra. I dropped my ZF5 once and it still works perfectly fine. I typically go back and forth month to month to enjoy both worlds but if I had to pick one, just go with the Ultra if durability is your concern. Only drawback you'll face is the cameras, Samsung has yet to fix it the issues that still plagues it, it's post processing is awful. Hope this helps
If you don't have a fold you wouldn't know what you're missing. But I do have a Fold 6 and I've had Samsung Galaxy devices forever and the Fold 6 is amazing, so I do know what you're missing.
@Mattchey94 I know what I'm missing: poorer battery life, mediocre cameras, slower charging, worse IP rating, no integrated stylus, £550 less money in my pocket. Actually, I'm quite happy to miss all those things and keep my S23 Ultra. Although the Fold 6 has that bigger internal screen, no-one would buy a tablet with a screen that small and a nearly square aspect ratio (which is why no-one sells such a tablet).
What exactly am I missing? Almost double the weight? Who the hell unfolds that phone on the street? Nobody. Useless. What I am missing buddy? Maybe the absurd price? Or maybe the S pen? The 5000 maH as on the s24? Take your horse glasses off mate, I'm not missing anything.
I switched from fold4 to s24 ultra because the fold disnt work. Less durable more care and less usability. S24u is all in one screen and no hassle to keep unfolding.
Fold 6 .. all day every day .. its my office-in-a-pocket. Truly. 3 or 4 apps at once opened in a fraction of a second from the edge ... WOW. BTW: swyped this comment on the "narrow" cover screen without problem.
I have a Fold 5. Unless you plan to use the middle screen a lot it's not worth it. Wide screen format is not a lot larger than the Ultra. Reading and square screen content is better. Multitasking is better.
I think something that gets over looked is the inner screen wear. If you're not changing phones on a yearly basis, you'll notice a wear spot on the keyboard section on the inner screen since it's plastic. Has my fold 3 since release, saw no point in upgrades over the last while but I've noticed no one brings it up.
@@RonRidao I have both phones. Yes I agree with you. However I'd like to think of the S24 ultra as the manly muscle man husband, and Z Fold 6 as the tall handsome intelligent but slightly fragile husband.
Z Fold 6 wins by a mile on my scoresheet. Gave my S24U to my wife; she was not happy, she wants my Fold 6 😁. Thanks for this comparison video. Liked and subbed.
Neither.....I'll stick with ultra. Six models in & Samsung still has not eliminated crease somewhat & not included stylus storage. Flagship status is yet to be reached.
I agree, funny how it used to be a markdown for a phone if it had too big a camera notch in the screen or was 1mm too thick. None of this seems to matter on a fold, it is thicker and has a horrible crease which to me is worse than any camera notch, and somehow this is acceptable !!!!!
If you thinking to buy the Fold instead of the S because you can see much more on TH-cam or any videos don't. The only way you can see on the whole screen on the fold if you zoom in. But than you loose much from the content. If you use it regularly there are no differences. You got a black bar up and down. That's it. In my opinion if you do not utilize the bigger inner screen for daily workflow (documents or heavy multi tasking) the S24U is a better choice. (and yes I had a Fold before and now using the S24U)
Switched form iphone 15pro to Z6, 0 regrets i never had a foldable before so its a fresh experience and android always felt more intuitive and comfortable to use for me. Finally some actual emotions from purchase instead of usual meh from unboxing another iphone or a galaxy s. To anyone who is in doubt because of the dreaded crease in the middle - you really only notice it under certain angles or when there is a bright light source like a lamp or a sun behind you and even then it nothing dramatic - it doesnt interfere with content unlike a certain "island". My only real complaint would be battery life because its kinda subpar for the cost - not terrible but for 2k bucks i think i have a right to expect smth better and of course the absence of famed "titanium" - yeah the "titanium frame" in phones is just marketing and its mostly aluminum + a tiny little bit of actual titanium anyway but Z6 is their most premium device like wtf samsung i dont deserve titanium for 2000 bucks? xD
Having both as well without being a successful youtuber, I must say, I don't want to lose 1. The fold is unbeatable when going for a terrace for a few pints and no one here shows rugby her in Germany. Just stand that thing on a standard and you make friends with a few (low sound level of course) The S24 is more the all rounder in this "battle". The camera, the jeans friendliness, the battery life AND ofter underrated, the coating on the screen. For longer trips in a DB train, a fold definitely is your best companion. Both have their charms and both deserve the Titel best phone. It's just your needs and your bank account do play a big factor. Disclaimer: both phones where a gift.
I traded my Fold 3 in and got the Fold 6, and love it. Trade in prices are crazy right😂 now. The battery life on the Fold 6 is awesome. I also got the Galaxy watch ultra , which is an amazing watch. The battery life is crazy. I'm on my 3rd day of not charging the watch. I was using a Galaxy S3 Frontier since 2017 everyday and love it but it was time for an upgrade on the watch.
Your Fold 3 still worked? My died after 2 years. First inner screen went out and then the outer screen. Had to use a used beat up android phone until I could upgrade to a S24 Ultra. I won't go back to a fold.
I grew tired of my 13 max pro and wanted a bigger screen, so I had the opportunity to trade in my moto fold and received a 700 dollar trade in promotion thru spectrum mobile, which I used to get the 24ultry. Then, just recently, t mobile had a deal with 0 down for the Fold 6 and gave me a 500 dollar credit with my 13 max pro trade in. Both are awesome, but my daily driver is my fold 6, LGv60 was my main phone for about 2 years and having 2 screens made life so much better ( even more so when I was DoorDashing, one screen on the map and the other on the order ) so natural the fold 6 fit me just perfectly, I didn't care for the previous predecessors. I'm not big on the whole camera craze, so either one works well for me. And since I have the Bud Pro 3, I can listen to music from either phone easily, i haven't tapped into Dex yet, but from what I've seen, it works well on both. Anyways, great video.
It's a matter of how much you value the best camera and battery life vs the giant inner display. There is no clear winner, it's just what is best for you vs what's best for me. For me it's the Fold. But I think it's the Ultra for most.
First fold so far loving it, managed to grab the 256 bundled with Spen case, Ultra watch with 2 extra straps plus one year free accidental damage for fold 6 for the RRP of fold 6. Also got S24 Ultra probably keep it until S25 release the 1decide what to then.
problem with Fold is that most of the Video contents are made in 16:9 ratio. folds screen is long rectangle folded and square when opened up. which doesn't work with 16:9 ratio contents. so unless you do a lots of multi app work or text based work, fold's larger screen is useless. just heavier, thinker, less durable, and more expensive. I am waiting for trifold phone from samsung. that will be the game changer.
Zfold 6 win. I'm sorry. I can't go back to a candy bar anymore. A phone and a tablet. Nothing is better than a foldable. I have z fold 3 day 1 and z fold 6 day1. I have both. Love my phone
Bizar if you see the comment section how much people had issues with their fold. Reminds back in the days that there were a lot of issues with the sony mdrx headphone that broke easily
I had a fold 5 but sold it after only 3 months for an S24 Ultra. The concept of the phone is cool but the strange aspect ration on the front and main display makes any video watching completely pointless. Massive black borders top and bottom. Didn't use it as much for side to side applications as I thought, the screen just isn't big enough to really make it a positive point. The cameras were pretty unusable for anything past 1x zoom and again taking photos with the phone unopened would mean you need to crop them for upload to social media etc. It's a decent phone but for the price it's absolutely a waste of money imo
I'm on that boat right now . I ordered it and looking to use it and if I am unimpressed I will send it back, but I did get $1400 off with trade in and promotion. However my S24U is 1TB, so I need some hands on convincing
started to use Fold 5 last year and it has been incredible for me, I use it for work and play games. Very comfortable large screen to watch videos as well.. only down side for me for Fold is the durability, need extra care.
i will get z fold when samsung: 1.Puts the S pen to the next Z fold 2. change the main screen aspect ratio to a bigger one (at least something close to s24. 3.increase the battery and fast charging speed to 45-65w
For me, I held off on the fold due to the camera. I use the 10x on my s23U a lot to film space launches ... for the price, they need to step up the camera on the fold.
if money is not an object, both phones are excellent in their own way, it will be up to the user on what they prioritize on a phone. prioritizing is always the case in buying anything
had my fold 6 for about a month now, i love it, couldnt go back to a smaller screen size now im used to it (although i did go from a fold 3 so got used to the screen a couple of years ago)
Fold3 then fold4 then back to the "note" line. S23ultra now. It's just a more useful phone. Also the fold needs a pen. And the best cameras. Not spending more to get less.
These products have two different purposes. Stop misleading people. This is an apples to oranges comparison, and it's terrible that you can't understand that.
For larger canvas, I use my tab S9 ultra, which is absolute behemoth. Even fold looks tiny to me, thats why I go with s ultra series only, which also has a better camera setup.
@jermainemouzon4909 yeah, this is my concern with it. I'm happy with the phone I have. Like I said, the flip stuff is simply a gimmick. It's cool and I like it, but I really don't need it.
The video compares the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. The S24 Ultra is a traditional smartphone, while the Z Fold 6 is a foldable phone. Both phones have their own advantages and disadvantages. The Galaxy S24 Ultra has a larger battery, faster charging, and a more durable display. It also has a built-in S Pen. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a more versatile folding design, which allows for split-screen multitasking and other unique features. It also has better selfie cameras. Ultimately, the best phone for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you value battery life and durability, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is the better choice. If you value versatility and multitasking, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is the better choice.
Had the fold 5 with a rugged case drop it screens were unharmed but the inside screen stopped working only 2 months old i think they can be fragile in a way but got a s24 ultra
The inner screen on the fold is fragile and will suffer from material fatigue as time passes. Also, its protective foil comes off after a little over a year of use, so you need to have it replaced every now and then. Besides, it's easy to lose the fold's s-pen because you have to keep it in the case, which gets worn after a while and loosens its grip on the pen after a while. For these reasons I'll be mainly keeping my fold at home and will be switching to the S25 Ultra model when it arrives so I can have more peace of mind when I'm out and about. The Ultra model seems more durable, has better cameras and has its own compartment for the s-pen. The fold is great for reading and gaming, though. I just don't think the foldable technology is mature enough yet as it still requires better durability and tougher materials for the inner display.
I love the fold design. Its a big differentiator from the crowd. Its actually more of a statement than carrying an iPhone. Sick of the bar design mobiles. Fold takes me to the golden times when we had Nokia communicator.
Great review. I like your voice bro, its really professional. Watching from India. I am blessed with a 1TB S24 Ultra and I will in no way trade it for a fold with a crease, inferior camera and no S-Pen.
I traded my s24 ultra for the Fold 6. I primarily traded it for the larger writing canvas for note taking. Howeber the S24 ultra is so polished it is all around a great phone. I do miss the build quality, the battery, and the cameras.
Wow.....I was so hyped up for the Z Fold 6, and then found out the camera specs are not even besting my S22 Ultra! I was so bummed......but.....in your video, I'll admit, the S24 seems only marginally better....not sure why that is....but maybe I can still pull off the Z Fold. Image quality is important for me....but based on the samples presented in this video, maybe not enough to sway me from the Z Fold.
Imo the titaniem hinge is a downside because while yes it has stronger resistance to say denting, it means that impact isnt absorbed and is instead transferred somewhere else inside the phone
I had the fold 4 and traded for an s24 ultra. I saw the fold 5 and 6 still had screen crease when open, hinge seemed like it won't last, and black bars were very annoying when fold was open.
@@TtikNoh that's right, unless multitask is a must for you, then go with s24 ultra. That big screen of fold is really designed for multitasking, not for media consumption.
@@yvonnemohenry Thank you for this bit of advice.. I've been flipping back and forth between the S24 and the Fold6 for the past few months as my contract comes up for renewal with my provider..! I love my S23.. and was sold on the S24 when I first saw it upon release.. Then the Fold6 came out and I was that look so cool.. I think I am gonna switch just for the sake of having the inside larger screen.. But if its not great for media consumption or streaming. I will stick with the S series of phones! Once again. much obliged!
I've had the pleasure of having the fold series prior to the fold 6 and i just swapped it for the s24 ultra for the fact that these fold and flip phones will eventually encounter problems with the hinge as u constantly open and close it and it aint cheap to get it replaced.
Just got my Fold 6 and I feel like I downgraded from my S 24 Ultra, as far as the camera and video quality is concerned. AWFUL! I will be getting the S25 in January. I love the cam on my S23 and S24 ultras
One drawback type c wired headphones have been a little tricky to find. Wireless are the trend but drain battery and open get lost. IPhone still offers Wireless wired headphones. I hope they don't become a lost technology.
Foldables are getting there gradually. I just wish they were adopting the Oppo Find N size and form factor. That phone really is the perfect sized foldable in my opinion and I was optimistic we were heading that way (with brands other than Samsung) when the first Pixel Fold came out. But, alas, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is huge so I guess not.
Other than the folding feature, the ultra wins in every category. No reason to pay more money for a lesser phone. Make the fold match the camera and everything else in the ultra to justify its price and then i will get one
when folded, the size of z fold 6 size should be at least should be size of s24 ultra i.e. Because most of the time, even an fold phone is used with single hand and a small screen doesn't make sense.
after using the fold 4 I got sick of foldables. It was too narrow when using the outer screen, too wide when using inner, and was bulky. Probably improved a bit but im gonna wait until they're cheaper and improved
I bought a Samsung Fold4 for £1440 ($1900) in the UK. After 18 months, still in its warranty period, the hinge stopped working and the phone stopped opening up fully flat. When I took the phone to Samsung, they asked for £600 to repair it saying that a cosmetic scratch on the outer cover of the phone voided the warranty on the hinge which is nowhere near the scratch. Worse, they sent my phone with all its data to a 3rd party dodgy repair company without my knowledge and that dodgy company started sending me ransom mail and text messages asking for £600 to return my phone. RIP OFF! SCAM! DON'T BUY ANY SAMUNG FOLD PHONE, they are very expensive yet very cheap in quality. BETTER YET, DON'T BUY ANY SAMSUNG PRODUCT.
If I was to change the Z fold design, I don't think a large outside display is needed. Still what a machine. A tablet with you always. Got an older car with shitty infotainment ? Get this, get a charging wireless mount. Better than any infotainment. No lag, massive HIGH RES screen.
If the zfold 6 closed had the dimensions as the 24 ultra... I would upgrade.... I just think the screen is still small, if they brought out a LARGER OPTION, I WOULD JUMP IN THE RING , but until then, I'll stick with my mayback S22 Ultra...💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
*I have a s23 ultra 1tb for 6 months now and planning to buy OnePlus open apex edition, reason is I mostly use phone for TH-cam and browsing apart from calls, msges but the screen feels small, I'm 41 and eyesight dwindles slowly.. So a bigger screen is definitely a plus.. Not taking photos much like earlier years, so daily usability with big screen is more important than camera at this point...*

@@droo3010 ok I received my apex yesterday and after Owning s23 u i feel the os is somewhat tricky to use even for small things, Samsung made it easy...i think pixel will also feel the same...
Fortunately, I'm on O2 SwitchUP, so I can switch back to my older S24 Ultra after 90 days............My Z6 (ZED not Zeeeeeeeee. We're not yanks lol) is fine but the camera's are significantly poorer, the folds screen is ok-ish (not much bigger when watching movies and the crease is a tad annoying - Not to mention worrying about damaging it) My biggest gripe is the stupid narrow front screen..........If you dont need a phone to work on, get the S24 Ultra.
They need to make the front screen on the fold as wide as the s24 screen. I've had the fold and it's narrow front screen is it's down fall. Makes typing difficult.
Well I have both S23U and I just bought the ZF6. S23U have by far better audio quality, screen quality, battery life and charging and overall power. I'm happy with both, but the S23U will remain as my daily phone.
I'm trading in my s24 Ultra to get the Z Fold 6 personally. They currently have it $300 off for the black and white colors and offering $1000 trade in, so to me worth it at the moment. I've had Fold 3 and 4, so I just miss the versatility and gaming on the big screen.
Soldier deployed in Germany here, I have the Fold 6 and I love it... but being that my job requires me to wear my kit(body armor) for 8 to 12 hours a day, needing to use my hands at a moments notice... I have my wife back home, which is mailing me the S24 Ultra because it can be mounted to my kit with the juggernaut system. I'm going to miss the Fold 6 when I mail it back home to her... but practicality is more of a necessity than luxury... and this fold 6 is most definitely luxurious.
The Fold having that large inside screen is a +2, but the crease is a -1 and that it's square instead of 16:1 is a -1. So that's a washout of that initial advantage. Plus, over time how bad is that crease in the screen going to be on the overall display experience? I suspect it's a flaw that will worsen with extensive use.
I've had Fold5 for months. It's just too heavy and cumbersome. It's nice to have the big screen, but the inside one is cheap looking and feeling... because it is. The outside screen is tiny. And I'm tired of having to open unfold the phone every time Ixwant to be productive or be entertained. I guess everyone has their own needs and prefs. 🤷♂️ I moved to the s24 Ultra and I'm sticking with it for the Samsung ecosystem. Works great with my galaxy watch.

The little fold screen with that aspect ratio compared to the tab s10 ultra....thanks but no thanks....I will stick with my s24 ultra and tab s8 ultra.... real great for watching vids.
@@actie-reactie whos carrying a tablet in their pocket daily?
Save your 10 minutes: There is no clear winner and the buyer has to decide himself/herself.
@MKRNaqeebi that's not the point of the video. The video is explaining the features of both phones to help you in determining which phone works for you personally. So watching the video is worth it.
Had the choice between both, and went with the 24ultra, dont like the crease on the screen and my work is rather dirty and simply dont trust the folding mechanism or the inner screens longevity, cameras on the 24ultra is the win as well
I'm a builder and had no problem, the crease is unseen when viewing from the front, especially in door use like when your back home.. travelling.. perfect for flights. I tend not to unfold it much when out at work and enjoy unfolding when I'm chilling
This is my first foldable phone and I think that's an excuse. The crease is barely visible at all majority of the time I forget it's there, and in certain angles it's completely non existent.
Be very careful with the fold devices. I currently have the Z fold 4 and will be going to the S24 ultra next week.
The inner screen display on the fold is extremely fragile, mine ended up with a purple laser line going through the middle after just 6 months of owning it. That on top of how the crease gradually gets more noticeable over time has put me off of the fold completely.
the same w mine, really really fragile.
My fold 3 had the inner replaced under warranty after a year.
When the screen starts to show wear again, I'll be moving back to the S24 probably.
Fold is good, but the screen is still a little fragile
I've had 3 Folds. They're all great.... until the first time they need to be repaired. Dead pixels, line down the middle, hinges not opening or folding all the way. I'm sticking with 24 Ultra for now. Be wary of the flaws...
The 6 is two generations ahead of your Fold 3. A lot has changed since then.
@@Tcwilliams07 agreed. I had the fold 4 for 1.5 years and just got the infamous black line of death. Had to get a replacement.
O2 contract.. upgrade every 90 days.. so can upgrade soon as the next generation fold comes out
Had the fold 4 and now 5, just replaced a 4 month old one for a hole developing in the inner screen on the crease. And the one before that got the black line down the crease after about 8 months and stopped working entirely. I love the fold functionality, but they clearly have issues with the inner screen.
So true, Z Fold 5 - 14 Months and line in a display and now it's black. Out of warranty and repairing is like up to 700€. Customer support is absolutly bad.
When the Fold houses an S pen like the Note line, I'll get one.
I think if they made the cover screen slightly wider. There would be space for it, too. I'm not sure why they haven't done it yet tbh
@WhatGear Agreed. We are now on the 6th edition! For an electronic notepad to not come with a pen is weird.
@@geraldjennings3188 same..once the pen is housed in..i’ll get it!
I got the fold 6 with the spen case.... the pen is wasted on me I hardly ever use it. Different folks different strokes I guess
When they come up with similar camera lenses as ultra series, I'll plan to switch to fold 😅
The clear winner for each of us is, in the end, the one we enjoy the most.
@@CocosBoss007 the most sensible comment in this comment section haha
@@CocosBoss007 exactly
@CocosBoss007 I like this but it needs a "Breaking News" chryon
The fold should be 2 S ultras put together, outer screen is just too narrow
That would be cool
Tha would be perfect!
Yeah that is why the Galaxy Fold 6 Ultra will fill out that void, as big as the S24U but folding
That would make it more bulky tho
S24 ultra is the best for me. I know a few people with the fold, and they love them. But I am a bit clumsy and can't handle not having full body case protection on my phone. My friend dropped his z fold 6 on the corner a week into having it. The inner screen immediately got the ink blot damage. It will keep me away until the screens have more durability. Plus I can't spend 2 thousand on a phone. I got my s24 ultra and the ultra watch with buds 3 for 1250. Total. I just traded in a s20 fe and took advantage of the deals on my carrier.
For me, my 24 Ultra will remain my best choice. The fold aspect ratios are off on both screens. There isn't a real advantage with the Fold when watching video content (16:9 or even 21:9), just too much black bars and the actual content size is similar to the S24 Ultra. The large screen usefulness is in the rest of the UI usage, i.e. messaging, multitasking, notes, drawing, etc. Would still go for the chinese foldables over Sammy to be honest. Sammy is safe most have not launched global versions.
And for video games I played gta thru Netflix on my fold 6 uses the entire screen an is pretty awesome
And other things, like the multi screen for multiple apps. Yes the S24U can do it, but the extra screen makes it better on the fold 6. I for one, like reading kindle books and studying. It's MUCH better on the fold as it takes the whole screen. If one's priority is media solely, then it makes no sense to spend the extra for the fold due to the aspect ratios as you mentioned. But for people who utilize many apps that can take advantage of the full screen (such as myself), who was also in the market for a tablet, but don't want to have to carry an additional device, the fold is just better.
You have no knowledge on how to properly use the fold and ajust settings.
@@Bread_n_Butter.
Idk man, it makes more sense to me to buy a separate tablet 😆 You could get a nice phone and tablet… and still save money. Unless you really REALLY need to have these 2in1.
For me: square aspect ratio, visible crease, smaller battery, worse cameras - are the compromises that I’m NOT willing to make.
@@RabianskiT you can not get a tablet in your pocket
As a owner of Fold 4, I won't go back to another fold until there is a slot for the s-pen, wider outer screen, and the inner screen is more durable. I've busted my screen twice within the 2 years I've had it. I love the usability of the Fold but it has a bit more issues to work out before it becomes a real contender.
I got my hands on the latest Samsung Galaxy Flip6 and Fold6! Currently rocking the S22 Ultra, but I'm keeping the Fold for sure!
Bro what u say Is it good to buy fold 6 as a business and primary phone 🤔
Hands down, ZFOLD 6! I traded in my S24 Ultra for the fold 6 and absolutely don't regret it....
Congrats, you just downgraded in every aspect
Congrats. You just threw away a better phone. S24U is definitely better
@Tonioo_409 disagree, only thing good on s24 was camera, which i don't use that often..
@dfranzen6043 well I upgraded to the s24 ultra from the z fold 4, the inner screen plastic was cracking by itself from opening and closing it
@toxiccuban7000 that happened in my fold 4 also, Sammy replaced for free. Hopefully fold 6 won't do it
I think if Samsung gave us a 22:9 6,6 inch front cover screen including the S-pen, everyone would be more than happy. 😮
Having had the 13Pro (still use this phone) and the S22 ultra, now upgraded to the S24 ultra, I have to admit I really was planning to go for the Fold6. Why I didn’t go for the Fold at the end of the day?
1) Price- I find the price difference simply too high, even if you would consider the Fold6 the winner
2) Unless you really need a bigger screen and need to make selfies with the back camera and/or want to multitask in split screens, then you could consider the Fold6 over the S24
3) Although the weight is almost the same, because the Fold is more compact, it feels heavier (tested myself in the store and confirmed by Fold-users)
4) I don’t use the S-pen daily, but this feature weighs in heavier than the larger screen, and to add to that the larger screen doesn’t allow me to see more of TH-cam for example than on the S24. In other words, the real advantage is that you can split into multiple screens to multitask
5) Camera: better photos and films. non-debatable
I had every fold apart from the 6, moved to the s24ultra prefer it for camera and battery, but mainly the durability dont have to worry about phone when i take it out, had 3 folds fail 2 hinges and 1 screen.

This is the comment I was looking for. I have a fold 3 and the inside plastic cover has gone on me 3 times. The fold doesn't feel as sturdy as a normal phone either. Do you think I should wait for the s25 or get the fold 6? I have the fold 3 right now
@@Sheddingreally depends on what you want, I have a ZF5 & a S24 Ultra. I dropped my ZF5 once and it still works perfectly fine. I typically go back and forth month to month to enjoy both worlds but if I had to pick one, just go with the Ultra if durability is your concern. Only drawback you'll face is the cameras, Samsung has yet to fix it the issues that still plagues it, it's post processing is awful. Hope this helps
If you don't have a fold you wouldn't know what you're missing. But I do have a Fold 6 and I've had Samsung Galaxy devices forever and the Fold 6 is amazing, so I do know what you're missing.
@Mattchey94 i just got a fold 6 from an S22 Ultra and I like it. It's just taking some getting used to.
@Mattchey94 I know what I'm missing: poorer battery life, mediocre cameras, slower charging, worse IP rating, no integrated stylus, £550 less money in my pocket. Actually, I'm quite happy to miss all those things and keep my S23 Ultra. Although the Fold 6 has that bigger internal screen, no-one would buy a tablet with a screen that small and a nearly square aspect ratio (which is why no-one sells such a tablet).
What exactly am I missing? Almost double the weight? Who the hell unfolds that phone on the street? Nobody. Useless. What I am missing buddy? Maybe the absurd price? Or maybe the S pen? The 5000 maH as on the s24? Take your horse glasses off mate, I'm not missing anything.
I switched from fold4 to s24 ultra because the fold disnt work. Less durable more care and less usability.
S24u is all in one screen and no hassle to keep unfolding.
@Mattchey94 me also watching from Fold Six. Really amazing and Beautifull
and Wonderful
I still choose s24 ultra. Love multitasking but not the level until I need to bring television along with me everywhere.
Fold 6 .. all day every day .. its my office-in-a-pocket. Truly. 3 or 4 apps at once opened in a fraction of a second from the edge ... WOW.
BTW: swyped this comment on the "narrow" cover screen without problem.
there is a problem though....
@@baribari. not Apple enough for you?
I have a Fold 5. Unless you plan to use the middle screen a lot it's not worth it. Wide screen format is not a lot larger than the Ultra. Reading and square screen content is better. Multitasking is better.
I think something that gets over looked is the inner screen wear. If you're not changing phones on a yearly basis, you'll notice a wear spot on the keyboard section on the inner screen since it's plastic. Has my fold 3 since release, saw no point in upgrades over the last while but I've noticed no one brings it up.
I compared the S24 Ultra versus the Fold 6 on the market, and the S24 Ultra is still the winner for me. 😎
@@RonRidao I have both phones. Yes I agree with you. However I'd like to think of the S24 ultra as the manly muscle man husband, and Z Fold 6 as the tall handsome intelligent but slightly fragile husband.

Neither.....I'll stick with ultra. Six models in & Samsung still has not eliminated crease somewhat & not included stylus storage. Flagship status is yet to be reached.
I agree, funny how it used to be a markdown for a phone if it had too big a camera notch in the screen or was 1mm too thick. None of this seems to matter on a fold, it is thicker and has a horrible crease which to me is worse than any camera notch, and somehow this is acceptable !!!!!
If you thinking to buy the Fold instead of the S because you can see much more on TH-cam or any videos don't. The only way you can see on the whole screen on the fold if you zoom in. But than you loose much from the content. If you use it regularly there are no differences. You got a black bar up and down. That's it. In my opinion if you do not utilize the bigger inner screen for daily workflow (documents or heavy multi tasking) the S24U is a better choice. (and yes I had a Fold before and now using the S24U)
Switched form iphone 15pro to Z6, 0 regrets i never had a foldable before so its a fresh experience and android always felt more intuitive and comfortable to use for me. Finally some actual emotions from purchase instead of usual meh from unboxing another iphone or a galaxy s. To anyone who is in doubt because of the dreaded crease in the middle - you really only notice it under certain angles or when there is a bright light source like a lamp or a sun behind you and even then it nothing dramatic - it doesnt interfere with content unlike a certain "island". My only real complaint would be battery life because its kinda subpar for the cost - not terrible but for 2k bucks i think i have a right to expect smth better and of course the absence of famed "titanium" - yeah the "titanium frame" in phones is just marketing and its mostly aluminum + a tiny little bit of actual titanium anyway but Z6 is their most premium device like wtf samsung i dont deserve titanium for 2000 bucks? xD
Having both as well without being a successful youtuber, I must say, I don't want to lose 1. The fold is unbeatable when going for a terrace for a few pints and no one here shows rugby her in Germany. Just stand that thing on a standard and you make friends with a few (low sound level of course)
The S24 is more the all rounder in this "battle". The camera, the jeans friendliness, the battery life AND ofter underrated, the coating on the screen.
For longer trips in a DB train, a fold definitely is your best companion.
Both have their charms and both deserve the Titel best phone. It's just your needs and your bank account do play a big factor.

Bite nails. No worries!
I grew tired of my 13 max pro and wanted a bigger screen, so I had the opportunity to trade in my moto fold and received a 700 dollar trade in promotion thru spectrum mobile, which I used to get the 24ultry. Then, just recently, t mobile had a deal with 0 down for the Fold 6 and gave me a 500 dollar credit with my 13 max pro trade in. Both are awesome, but my daily driver is my fold 6, LGv60 was my main phone for about 2 years and having 2 screens made life so much better ( even more so when I was DoorDashing, one screen on the map and the other on the order ) so natural the fold 6 fit me just perfectly, I didn't care for the previous predecessors. I'm not big on the whole camera craze, so either one works well for me. And since I have the Bud Pro 3, I can listen to music from either phone easily, i haven't tapped into Dex yet, but from what I've seen, it works well on both. Anyways, great video.
It's a matter of how much you value the best camera and battery life vs the giant inner display. There is no clear winner, it's just what is best for you vs what's best for me. For me it's the Fold. But I think it's the Ultra for most.
It is absolutely the best phone I've ever had.I had the ultra 23 I moved to the 6 Fold awesome device 😅
First fold so far loving it, managed to grab the 256 bundled with Spen case, Ultra watch with 2 extra straps plus one year free accidental damage for fold 6 for the RRP of fold 6. Also got S24 Ultra probably keep it until S25 release the 1decide what to then.
problem with Fold is that most of the Video contents are made in 16:9 ratio. folds screen is long rectangle folded and square when opened up. which doesn't work with 16:9 ratio contents. so unless you do a lots of multi app work or text based work, fold's larger screen is useless. just heavier, thinker, less durable, and more expensive. I am waiting for trifold phone from samsung. that will be the game changer.
You had me Laughing. I personally am waiting for the Quatro fold
@lars4360 waiting for something like huawei mate xt. But from samsung. Thats is when you can actual have meaningful expansion.
1:12 I did not see that coming! That would be amazing for my work/college apps!
The fold 4 and fold 5 also do that and are cheaper
Zfold 6 win. I'm sorry. I can't go back to a candy bar anymore. A phone and a tablet. Nothing is better than a foldable. I have z fold 3 day 1 and z fold 6 day1. I have both. Love my phone
Bizar if you see the comment section how much people had issues with their fold. Reminds back in the days that there were a lot of issues with the sony mdrx headphone that broke easily
I had a fold 5 but sold it after only 3 months for an S24 Ultra. The concept of the phone is cool but the strange aspect ration on the front and main display makes any video watching completely pointless. Massive black borders top and bottom. Didn't use it as much for side to side applications as I thought, the screen just isn't big enough to really make it a positive point. The cameras were pretty unusable for anything past 1x zoom and again taking photos with the phone unopened would mean you need to crop them for upload to social media etc. It's a decent phone but for the price it's absolutely a waste of money imo
People actually traded in their s24u and paid ontop of it 😅😅😅
So what, they got what they want.
I'm on that boat right now . I ordered it and looking to use it and if I am unimpressed I will send it back, but I did get $1400 off with trade in and promotion. However my S24U is 1TB, so I need some hands on convincing
@@oc3144 how is it?
started to use Fold 5 last year and it has been incredible for me, I use it for work and play games. Very comfortable large screen to watch videos as well.. only down side for me for Fold is the durability, need extra care.
i will get z fold when samsung:
1.Puts the S pen to the next Z fold
2. change the main screen aspect ratio to a bigger one (at least something close to s24.
3.increase the battery and fast charging speed to 45-65w
For me, I held off on the fold due to the camera. I use the 10x on my s23U a lot to film space launches ... for the price, they need to step up the camera on the fold.
I can't deal with a screen that can be scratched with my fingernail, so it was the S24 Ultra for me
I'm watching this video on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 😊
if money is not an object, both phones are excellent in their own way, it will be up to the user on what they prioritize on a phone. prioritizing is always the case in buying anything
had my fold 6 for about a month now, i love it, couldnt go back to a smaller screen size now im used to it (although i did go from a fold 3 so got used to the screen a couple of years ago)
Fold3 then fold4 then back to the "note" line. S23ultra now. It's just a more useful phone. Also the fold needs a pen. And the best cameras. Not spending more to get less.
These products have two different purposes.
Stop misleading people.
This is an apples to oranges comparison, and it's terrible that you can't understand that.
For larger canvas, I use my tab S9 ultra, which is absolute behemoth. Even fold looks tiny to me, thats why I go with s ultra series only, which also has a better camera setup.
Hands down the S24Ultra all day love mine
@@Darkness_91 just because you never owned Z fold lol. You should try it and you would realise what a world of difference there is
Ultra is the way to go for me. No regrets. The fold is cool, but it's a gimmick, so until the crease is gone, I'm very happy with my S24 Ultra. 👌🏾
No foldable will ever eliminate the crease entirely. Even if they did the more you open close the fold it will eventually get a crease.
@jermainemouzon4909 yeah, this is my concern with it. I'm happy with the phone I have. Like I said, the flip stuff is simply a gimmick. It's cool and I like it, but I really don't need it.

watching content on the fold with the black bars is absolutely revolting
S24 is not bad I'll go with fold6.
It's kinda exclusive.
The video compares the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. The S24 Ultra is a traditional smartphone, while the Z Fold 6 is a foldable phone. Both phones have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra has a larger battery, faster charging, and a more durable display. It also has a built-in S Pen. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a more versatile folding design, which allows for split-screen multitasking and other unique features. It also has better selfie cameras.
Ultimately, the best phone for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you value battery life and durability, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is the better choice. If you value versatility and multitasking, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is the better choice.
Had the fold 5 with a rugged case drop it screens were unharmed but the inside screen stopped working only 2 months old i think they can be fragile in a way but got a s24 ultra
No stylus, no sale.
I have them both, they both work great. I have no complaints of either one
The inner screen on the fold is fragile and will suffer from material fatigue as time passes. Also, its protective foil comes off after a little over a year of use, so you need to have it replaced every now and then. Besides, it's easy to lose the fold's s-pen because you have to keep it in the case, which gets worn after a while and loosens its grip on the pen after a while. For these reasons I'll be mainly keeping my fold at home and will be switching to the S25 Ultra model when it arrives so I can have more peace of mind when I'm out and about. The Ultra model seems more durable, has better cameras and has its own compartment for the s-pen. The fold is great for reading and gaming, though. I just don't think the foldable technology is mature enough yet as it still requires better durability and tougher materials for the inner display.

Great review. I like your voice bro, its really professional.
Watching from India. I am blessed with a 1TB S24 Ultra and I will in no way trade it for a fold with a crease, inferior camera and no S-Pen.
I traded my s24 ultra for the Fold 6. I primarily traded it for the larger writing canvas for note taking. Howeber the S24 ultra is so polished it is all around a great phone. I do miss the build quality, the battery, and the cameras.
I will only switch over to the fold if they release a ultra version. I need the bigger battery, same cameras as the ultra and lastly the spen.
Wow.....I was so hyped up for the Z Fold 6, and then found out the camera specs are not even besting my S22 Ultra! I was so bummed......but.....in your video, I'll admit, the S24 seems only marginally better....not sure why that is....but maybe I can still pull off the Z Fold. Image quality is important for me....but based on the samples presented in this video, maybe not enough to sway me from the Z Fold.
Imo the titaniem hinge is a downside because while yes it has stronger resistance to say denting, it means that impact isnt absorbed and is instead transferred somewhere else inside the phone
My 24 Ultra will always remain my ultimate choice for me, as I've never been fan of the Z Fold series at all.
Where did you get that clock widget from on your home screen?
I had the fold 4 and traded for an s24 ultra. I saw the fold 5 and 6 still had screen crease when open, hinge seemed like it won't last, and black bars were very annoying when fold was open.
I have wanted a fold for awhile... but I still go with ultras for a few reasons.
I think its pretty simple. If you multitask on a daily = fold, if you dont = ultra.
@@TtikNoh that's right, unless multitask is a must for you, then go with s24 ultra. That big screen of fold is really designed for multitasking, not for media consumption.

Once again. much obliged!
I've had the pleasure of having the fold series prior to the fold 6 and i just swapped it for the s24 ultra for the fact that these fold and flip phones will eventually encounter problems with the hinge as u constantly open and close it and it aint cheap to get it replaced.
Just got my Fold 6 and I feel like I downgraded from my S 24 Ultra, as far as the camera and video quality is concerned. AWFUL! I will be getting the S25 in January. I love the cam on my S23 and S24 ultras

One drawback type c wired headphones have been a little tricky to find. Wireless are the trend but drain battery and open get lost. IPhone still offers Wireless wired headphones. I hope they don't become a lost technology.
Good review, but what is the theme on phone that you are using?
Foldables are getting there gradually. I just wish they were adopting the Oppo Find N size and form factor. That phone really is the perfect sized foldable in my opinion and I was optimistic we were heading that way (with brands other than Samsung) when the first Pixel Fold came out. But, alas, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is huge so I guess not.
where can I get the blue clock on your phone?
Other than the folding feature, the ultra wins in every category. No reason to pay more money for a lesser phone. Make the fold match the camera and everything else in the ultra to justify its price and then i will get one
Had all the ultra phones. Z folds too. Z fold is so much nicer to use and kinda makes made me realise how dead boring S24 ultra is.. Try it
when folded, the size of z fold 6 size should be at least should be size of s24 ultra i.e. Because most of the time, even an fold phone is used with single hand and a small screen doesn't make sense.
вся прелесть в том , что в сложенном виде телефон уже не лопата и удобней носить
after using the fold 4 I got sick of foldables. It was too narrow when using the outer screen, too wide when using inner, and was bulky. Probably improved a bit but im gonna wait until they're cheaper and improved
I bought a Samsung Fold4 for £1440 ($1900) in the UK. After 18 months, still in its warranty period, the hinge stopped working and the phone stopped opening up fully flat. When I took the phone to Samsung, they asked for £600 to repair it saying that a cosmetic scratch on the outer cover of the phone voided the warranty on the hinge which is nowhere near the scratch. Worse, they sent my phone with all its data to a 3rd party dodgy repair company without my knowledge and that dodgy company started sending me ransom mail and text messages asking for £600 to return my phone. RIP OFF! SCAM! DON'T BUY ANY SAMUNG FOLD PHONE, they are very expensive yet very cheap in quality. BETTER YET, DON'T BUY ANY SAMSUNG PRODUCT.
Hi, I just bought the Galaxy Fold 6. I need the clock just like yours but unable to find it. Can you please share how to find it?
If I was to change the Z fold design, I don't think a large outside display is needed. Still what a machine. A tablet with you always. Got an older car with shitty infotainment ? Get this, get a charging wireless mount. Better than any infotainment. No lag, massive HIGH RES screen.
Ive seen the Fold fold under pressure. Go Ultra for the durability and long haul
Where can I get that phone wallpaper?? It looks awesome!
If the zfold 6 closed had the dimensions as the 24 ultra... I would upgrade.... I just think the screen is still small, if they brought out a LARGER OPTION, I WOULD JUMP IN THE RING , but until then, I'll stick with my mayback S22 Ultra...💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
*I have a s23 ultra 1tb for 6 months now and planning to buy OnePlus open apex edition, reason is I mostly use phone for TH-cam and browsing apart from calls, msges but the screen feels small, I'm 41 and eyesight dwindles slowly.. So a bigger screen is definitely a plus.. Not taking photos much like earlier years, so daily usability with big screen is more important than camera at this point...*
I would select Z fold 6 any day over oneplus open.. But.... The Apex color is so freakin gorgeous that I would not mind changing just for the color lol
@@droo3010 ok I received my apex yesterday and after
Owning s23 u i feel the os is somewhat tricky to use even for small things, Samsung made it easy...i think pixel will also feel the same...
Fortunately, I'm on O2 SwitchUP, so I can switch back to my older S24 Ultra after 90 days............My Z6 (ZED not Zeeeeeeeee. We're not yanks lol) is fine but the camera's are significantly poorer, the folds screen is ok-ish (not much bigger when watching movies and the crease is a tad annoying - Not to mention worrying about damaging it) My biggest gripe is the stupid narrow front screen..........If you dont need a phone to work on, get the S24 Ultra.
Great comparison! Thanks for posting this video
They need to make the front screen on the fold as wide as the s24 screen. I've had the fold and it's narrow front screen is it's down fall. Makes typing difficult.
they just need to make a fold version of the 24ultra lol
Well I have both S23U and I just bought the ZF6. S23U have by far better audio quality, screen quality, battery life and charging and overall power. I'm happy with both, but the S23U will remain as my daily phone.
I'm trading in my s24 Ultra to get the Z Fold 6 personally. They currently have it $300 off for the black and white colors and offering $1000 trade in, so to me worth it at the moment. I've had Fold 3 and 4, so I just miss the versatility and gaming on the big screen.
Soldier deployed in Germany here, I have the Fold 6 and I love it... but being that my job requires me to wear my kit(body armor) for 8 to 12 hours a day, needing to use my hands at a moments notice... I have my wife back home, which is mailing me the S24 Ultra because it can be mounted to my kit with the juggernaut system. I'm going to miss the Fold 6 when I mail it back home to her... but practicality is more of a necessity than luxury... and this fold 6 is most definitely luxurious.
The Fold having that large inside screen is a +2, but the crease is a -1 and that it's square instead of 16:1 is a -1. So that's a washout of that initial advantage. Plus, over time how bad is that crease in the screen going to be on the overall display experience? I suspect it's a flaw that will worsen with extensive use.
I've had Fold5 for months. It's just too heavy and cumbersome. It's nice to have the big screen, but the inside one is cheap looking and feeling... because it is. The outside screen is tiny. And I'm tired of having to open unfold the phone every time Ixwant to be productive or be entertained. I guess everyone has their own needs and prefs. 🤷♂️ I moved to the s24 Ultra and I'm sticking with it for the Samsung ecosystem. Works great with my galaxy watch.
