Before purchasing the Z Fold 6, I had the 5. In my honest opinion, there really aren't many differences. I passed my 5 onto my wife and after all the updates from the release of the 6, there really isn't much of a change. I will say this is the time of the year where I travel more so I really haven't had the chance to dig into the weeds of this phone. I will have an update here in a few weeks.
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.
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.
Great phone with az awesome battery and performance
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.
