I've been using the Fold 6 for two weeks now, and I'm impressed with the improvements over older models. While it's too early to tell if the issues with screen durability and dust ingress have been fully addressed, the build quality seems more robust. However, I'm withholding a 5-star rating due to one major limitation: the device's usability when folded. The screen size feels slightly too small, making it cumbersome to use in its compact form. Increasing the screen size would have enhanced the overall experience. Nevertheless, the Fold 6 shows promise, and I'm eager to see how it holds up over time.
Best FOLD yet and the AI functions have been pretty amazing also. Translation is my favorite so far and it's never far from my reach. The only thing I hate, is that the case covers the carbon-fiber design of the device but I can live with that. Couldn't live without the s-pen though. This phone is pretty phat.
It is a great phone but lacks in 2 areas which aggravate me. 1. The cameras of less quality than my S24U. 2. I can't store the S Pen in the body of the phone. This makes casing the phone a terrible experience. Either the S Pen is on the back of the case eliminating the chance of using magsafe cases (a must for me), or the S Pen is stored on the right side of the case making it difficult to get to the buttons or on the hinge side making the case bulky. Either way, these type of cases are all ugly and awkward. I'll probably transfer my sim back to my S24U.
If on the other hand, I didn't use an S Pen this phone would be 5 stars and easy to put a good looking case on.
