Could be better

So i bought this phone as soon as it was available i traded in my z fold 5 which was a really solid phone. So I've noticed some pros and cons mostly cons compared to the z fold 5. The z fold 5 worked great for calls. All my calls came in clear and fine. On the Z fold 6 I've noticed my calls aren't as clear as the z fold 5. Could be just my specific phone maybe mine is defective but calls aren't as clear. 2nd i download a lot of movies on my phone then mirror them on the TV. Never had a problem doing this on the Z Fold 5 the movies came in clear and smooth. The z fold 6 on the other hand for some reason as I'm watching the mirrored movie on my TV every once and a while it skips or lags and of course it's super annoying especially since this phone is supposed to be better and faster. I never had that problem with the Z Fold 5. I'm just hoping maybe I got a defective model and if someone from samsung is reading this I would love to send this phone back and replace it to see if it was just the phone I got. The only better thing this phone does compared to the Z Fold 5 is play video games better. I tried to play the Wind Waker on the Z Fold 5 and it skipped way too much but on the Z Fold 6 it actually works great so props to that. Being able to play a gamecube game like that on ur phone is pretty cool. I love the fold phones and I get a ton of compliments when people see mine. When I show people pictures they say wow what phone is that. I've owned the Z Fold 2, 4, 5, and now 6 and honestly until they make a tri fold or slide phone this will be the only phone I will ever buy again. I would of gave the Z Fold 5 a 4 star rating cause they can always make it better but I really hope samsung will read this and consider trading me another Z Fold 6 for the one i have because I think i got a bum phone. That's why I gave MY Z Fold 6 a 3 star rating and that's too bad. 😕
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung has always made high-quality devices, and this is no different. This is my first folding phone, I've always been hesitant because of the hinge and screen technology, but it was something I wanted to try.
This, by no means, is the perfect folding phone, and you can still see the crease, but it definitely seems like its come a long way based on other's comparisons.
I'm a fan of having a large screen when unfolded to see my google sheets, which was hard to do/navigate in my Galaxy S24 Ultra. The front screen is nothing to write about, as it is smaller (sadly), but I am finding it easier to navigate using 1 hand. So lots of the gestures I use to navigate or on Outlook are much easier to perform.
I am definitely a fan of this phone, and would say if you are upgrading from an older phone, i.e. Ultra S21 or older fold, then I would recommend giving this a try, but if your primary phone is S23/S24 Ultra, upgrading is up to your personal preference.
I did swap my phone, because I couldn't pass up on the deal, and as mentioned in the beginning, really wanted to give a Fold phone a try.
Having nearly every full that's been made so far I can honestly say this is the best hold yet and the Galaxy AI is just some incredibly useful and resourceful tool I don't think there's anything I'd change about this cold at all it feels great in the hand nice and thin but yet sturdy it doesn't feel bulky or overly cumbersome the display is just gorgeous really Samsung knocked it out of the park this time I couldn't be a happier
I likes it much, it is very fast, you can run more than one apps at the same time. Also when you want to do something with app or you wan to watch something the big screen is very perfect for this purpose. Thanks
So far I am loving the fold. The screen is large and that is what attracted me to it. It can fold to a great size and it can be used in so many ways. I am not a phone buff where I need to do intricate stuff. The entire process to get my phone went as planed and came in earlier than expected.
The 3 big improvements over my Fold 3: 1. Camera is worlds better. Clearly a multi-generational leap in processing and the return of the 3x telephoto 2. Screen gets WAYYYYY brighter 3. The hinge feels so much nicer and it folds close to flat!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Z Fold 6 battery life is inferior in comparison to the Z Fold 5 I just had. My habits of use appear to be within minutes when looking at use per week and the 5 battery % would be at 82 to 85% and the 6 is all the way down to the low 50s. The other concern is the phone shut off by itself on the 2nd day I owned it and would not turn on with the power button and took over an hour for a soft reboot to work: it's been about 2 weeks since that happened and it hasn't happened again. I like the phone, it's function, the slimmer hinge, the front screen is easier to read, and the only downside for me is the darn battery life. It's still worth getting, but some people who use the phone more may find the battery doesn't work for them.
