Galaxy AI can be a lot of fun
Flagship performance

$100 price increase
Same battery capacity once again
Only minor improvements to battery life
Slow charging
Takes nearly an hour and a half to fully recharge
$100 price increase over last year's model

Final verdict
Verdict
SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD6 VIVO X FOLD3 PRO ONEPLUS OPEN
Abstract: The Galaxy Z Fold 6 iterates Samsung 's foldable formula, taking the Galaxy Z Fold 5 as a blueprint, squaring off the corners, widening the design slightly, making it lighter, and updating the internals with 2024 power. When phones like the OnePlus Open a...

Galaxy Z Fold 6 is priced starting at $1899. That's $100 increase from last year, but in my mind, these hardware improvements are worth that alone. And remember, Samsung always has deals going on, so the chances of having to pay full price for this phone...

On the surface level, it doesn't seem like Samsung really put much thought into the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Samsung is no longer leading and innovating in the foldable space, as it's been surpassed by better and more complete devices. But for one skepticism, it...

For me, it's always hard telling someone whether they should buy a phone that costs $1,899. That's a lot of money to spend on a phone. I will say, however, if this is your first foldable and you can get a good deal with trade-ins and other promos, then ye...

The lack of real competition isn't helping the Galaxy Z Fold get better faster - Samsung is enjoying a rather trouble-free position in the large foldable space, and it's showing. The Galaxy Z Fold6 has the same cameras as the Fold4 from two years ago, and...

Bigger front screen makes it easier to type, Improved hinge, Thinner and thus easier to hold, Seven years of software updates
No improvement to battery life, Still doesn't take full advantage of the dual screens, More expensive
The whole point of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold range is productivity, and this is a high-performance phone that means business in both the metaphorical and literal senses...
