Samsung makes it easy to upgrade from the Fold 5 to the 6. I do love the 6 but really there is very little difference between the phones. If you have the 5 and money is tight than keep your 5. I really want a much larger foldable phone by a 1/2" when open.
I've owned the Fold 3, 5, and now 6. This phone is my favorite that I've owned, period. I appreciate Samsung's careful iteration in design despite all the internet yelling for Samsung this phone to be as wide as the Pixel Fold. The slimmer cover display is part of the appeal (and making a wider cover display sacrifices the ideal portrait aspect ratio on the interior), and Samsung's version on the 6 is perfect. Cleaned up bezels, slightly wider, and less hinge protrusion. And the inner display--of man. Yes, sure, it still has a slight crease--but it's significantly less visible than on the 5, and when viewing content is disappears more than ever before (on the fold 5, even when you didn't get any glare or off-axis colors from the crease, you could still notice a very slight distortion in the picture. No more! It's nearly perfect). The flat sides really help this feel like a single device when folded, and also just look beautiful. Samsung is making all the right moves, and patiently refining their already excellent product. Ever product has tradeoffs it has to make, and for me, the Fold series makes all the right ones. I don't need wild innovation--I just want them to keep making a good thing even better in small ways. I'll 100% pleased with this new version, and will almost certainly buy the next one as well. :) Keep up the good work, Samsung.
It's great esthetically. It's over heating a bit for now. Hopefully and update will fix that. The processor has improved my photos. I really like the larger size of the outside screen. I also appreciate the trade-in incentives. Hopefully the Fold 7 will have better cameras, battery, and a place to put the pen.
So much more refined and refreshing. Coming from the Fold 5, my initial thoughts prior to preordering were not too overwhelming. However, once I unwrapped the device, I couldn't have been more wrong:
Significantly lighter. The form is just right. Cover screen actually now feels like it's spot on. Build quality is better. Popping and brighter display Even the cameras perform better even though on paper it's the same hardware with the fold 5.
If you're in doubt, all I can say is just get the fold 6. You wouldn't be disappointed.

This is my 3rd Fold and they keep getting better and better, The 3 was great but I broke it 4 times. The 5 was phenomenal. Much more durable. The 6 is by far the best one yet. So fast and smooth. Not even a hiccup. The screen actually fits the hand a little better. The AI upgrades have been a game changer too. I'm loving the circle to search. The new Gemini are great too. Phone seems even more durable. Battery life is great. Already looking forward to what comes next.
