The functionality of the phone is what you would expect from Samsung. It's excellent.
The almost non-existent bezel around the front screen is a great improvement.
Also, the lighter weight and thinness improvements are noticable.
The practicality of dealing with a phone that isn't waterproof or sand proof in this day and age is hard to stomach. I likely won't buy the next one until this is solved.
Also, I would love it to my bigger. Samsung should endeavor to make the closed version of the phone to be the size of the S-ultra series. The reality is, with the z fold open, watching a video in letterbox, the viewing area is still smaller than the S ultra series phone, flipped on it's side to landscape. This kinda defeats the whole point of a bigger screen.

I had the fold 5 which I loved. The fold 6 gives you better battery life and better performance. The screen is easier to see in bright sun light. The seam in the middle is not as noticeable as the fold 5 but is still there.
I have a GalaxyZ fold 3 (12 megapixel camera) and I used it alot for photo and it was okay, then after 3 years I decided to upgrade to Z fold 6 and I saw a big difference, having a 50 megapixel. I don't need to bring my camera. It's fast when I'm searching the internet, it has a good reception, and the battery are way better now.
Great phone. None like it but count on your screen cracking in a years time forcing you to trade it in for an upgrade. I have have every fold since the first.
