Good upgrade from Fold 4, not a big upgrade though

Quite a upgrade from my old z fold 4, but honestly not too big of an upgrade in terms of specs over the z fold 4. Yes, it runs faster than my previous fold but where I was looking for improvement was the cameras since its such a high priced and premium device. Its still a very great device but it leaves much to be desired. A proper place to store the s pen would've been nice upgrade on this iteration too. Overall, its a good upgrade but there are better options out there at this point in time that have a lot more going for them then the z fold 6.

Still learning about & getting used to this new phone, but really loving it at this time! Tried the Circle to Search feature, works really great when you have the Buttons instead of Swipe gestures feature activated. However, I've been so used to swiping everything on this phone, that when the Buttons feature is used, I end up tapping the wrong buttons coz they replace the normal buttons or the area where I would normally start swiping on. So I would just toggle between Swipe gestures or Buttons when I wanna use AI, Circle to Search, or Samsung Notes. It's a learning curve, but I enjoy using the phone and all the neat features and suggestions and tips that pop up once in a while. Some of my games didn't port over with Smart Switch coz they're incompatible, but they were ones I hardly play with anyway, so it was fine.
Love the phone! But I just wish they put there best cameras in there most expensive phone! And for God sakes for this kind of money put the charger and a case in the box!
