The battery life is inferior compared to the Z fold 5. The same weekly usage, within minutes for the last few weeks, and the battery is 50% on Z fold 6 and would be up near 80 on the Z fold 5vfor the same use duration. There are some pluses to the 6 like the hinge is less ridiculous, the front screen is easier to read, and it feels slightly thinner. If you burn through minutes on your phone the battery is the deal killer for you. I still like it but the battery kills me because it is the same battery as the 5.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overall, my experience with the Fold 6 has been decent. The trade-in process was straightforward and seamless, which I greatly appreciated. Regarding the Fold 6 itself, it’s a well-built device and performs as smoothly as my Ultra 24 Plus. While I haven’t noticed a significant difference between the cameras on both devices, I digress. Having experienced Fold phones from the 3 to the 6, I must admit it feels like déjà vu.
That said, I do have some thoughts on areas for improvement. I believe certain services, such as video chat, shouldn’t be locked behind carriers or specific apps. Additionally, the S-Pen should be included with the device to truly maximize the user experience, rather than being an additional purchase. With the advancements in technology, it seems feasible that the S-Pen could be integrated into the device itself without compromising its design.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this feedback. I look forward to seeing how future iterations evolve.
Good phone so far. The outer screen needs to be bigger.
I would recommend this to a friend!
