I will start by saying that I've had almost every version of this phone from the Fold 2 onward. I can understand some of the views that a foldable like this should be a bit wider and taller. But i think the designers and engineers at Samsung wanted this foldable to be TRULY one handed and pocketable with a beefy operating system and a clean software environment... And the fold 6 delivers that in spades... From its square form factor when opened to its svelte form factor when closed this phone is just about as refined as it can get. Will samsung give us a larger version of this? Hopefully! (I'd definitely be interested in that) but as far as foldables go this is the best of them.
The bigger screen and resolution is pretty amazing. Face recognition is so so. The camera features are pretty good, but you gotta get used to them. The corners of the camera could’ve been a little more rounded the security on the camera is OK but you need to watch out for 2G hacking
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought this a week ago to try but love it instead, just wish it come in with better battery but still last me whole days without do any heavy task. This my first fold and it really enhanced my experience using a phone now. Doing a lot of multitasking, reading documents and website so much better now. Camera yeah it still sucks but I barely use it same with s pen but it nicer to have it in the phone than add extra bulky to the case. The narrow screen, please keep it, or just change little more space. A lot of people complain about it but I say it perfect. I can use it comfortable with one hand included scrolling media, reading manga, and messaging. It also encouraged me to use the inner screen for better view of content so there so reason to change the outer screen. If change just add the anti-reflective screen and that will be perfect. Also got this for 1200 with our trade in, so this a really good deal.
Reason for only a 4 star is due to Smart Switch not moving some very needed profile settings from my Z5. The main piece was the Samsung password saver folder I come to find out, less than 1/2 of the stored files were actually transferred. Why it only transferred 22 of 48 files, I could not find an answer anywhere and with limited time to get the 5 back for the credit, the credit is worth more than the 26 missing files.
Other than the above, so far so good minus the system not recognizing .wma's from my music files. I def like the weight reduction and the little bit larger screen. Makes reading smaller print easier if I forgot my readers. I am only about 2 weeks in to owning, so if possible, I will update my review.
While not the upgrade I was hoping for in the 6th model, moving from the fold 3 to this device was a very pleasant experience. The form factor, decreased weight/thickness, and processing are all noticeably upgraded and worth moving to the fold 6. Larger inner display, slight wider outer display, s pen included IN the phone itself, thinner, lighter, and top line cameras are all MUST HAVE in the fold 7.
