The phone is not all that much better then my Zfold4 , seems to be just a bit faster (but then a new install is always faster) and even though the outside screen is a bit bigger, I was under the impression that it was going to feel more "normal" and I was wrong. It is a lot better, but could still be a bit bigger. Battery life is better than my Z4, and it closes better, but otherwise I am not a huge fan of the upgrade
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for sharing your detailed review of the Galaxy Z Fold6, Max. It’s clear you have specific expectations when it comes to upgrades, and we appreciate your insights. It's great to see that you've made the upgrade from the Z Fold4. The Galaxy Z Fold6 stands out as the thinnest version yet, making it even more portable. Additionally, the screen is 1.5 times brighter, offering an enhanced viewing experience that is hard to ignore. With the advanced ProVisual Engine in the camera, your photography skills can really shine. Plus, the device allows for up to 2 extra hours of video playback, making it perfect for binge-watching or gaming. Finally, its improved durability and dust resistance ensure that the Z Fold6 can withstand the rigors of everyday life. We’re glad to hear that you noticed improvements in battery life and the closing mechanism, as these were key areas of focus in our design. However, we noted your concerns regarding the performance and usability of the larger external screen. Your feedback on the overall experience will be invaluable as we work on improving future models. We aim to continually enhance our devices to meet our customer's expectations, and your input will help us in that endeavor. If you have any further concerns or questions, please be sure to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus
There's nothing about this phone i dont love. The front screen is small and easy to use, and the larger screen for multitasking and in general for when I'm reading. I can understand someone not liking that it might feel unwieldy when it's unfolded, but generally, I'm just using 2 hands, and it's fairly easy. The battery typically lasts the whole workday with about 40 to 60 percent by the time I'm getting home, and I'll just keep a bank with me if I'm planning on being out all day. Camera is sharp and clear. Audio is overall great. I suggest it.
It does comes with charger & cable so im not happy i pay from my pocket

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Z Fold6, Hussam. The Galaxy Z Fold6 includes the smartphone itself, a data cable, and an ejection pin. Please note that the Galaxy Z Fold6 does not come with a travel adapter. Samsung smartphones come with a USB Type-C data cable, but they do not come with earphones or a charger plug in the box because we want to minimize the impact our products have on the environment. More and more Galaxy users are making sustainable choices in their daily lives to promote better recycling habits. To support our Galaxy community in this journey, we have removed earphones and charger plugs from Samsung Galaxy smartphone boxes. Once again, we appreciate your feedback and hope to hear more from you in the future. If you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Z Fold6, John. The Galaxy Z Fold6 offers improved battery life compared to the Galaxy Z Fold5. Both models have a typical 4400mAh battery, but the advanced processor in the Galaxy Z Fold6 enhances power efficiency. As a result, you can listen to music for up to 77 hours or watch videos for up to 23 hours. To ensure that your battery life is optimized, make sure to keep your phone updated with the latest software. Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets come equipped with settings and features that help you monitor and extend your device's battery life. Keep an eye on battery performance and utilize power-saving modes when necessary to get the most out of your battery.

Samsung is ignoring the fact for years, that their phone screens are A CATASTROPHE for people with cataract and bad light reception.
Because of whatever reason, the phone screen is turning down brightness so much, that it is impossible to see anything- and that during daytime, deactivated auto-brightness and "extra brightness" activated.
I need my phone for my job in the car, so it is hooked to the charging cable all day. Other phones like Motorola do not do that.
I have noticed that the screen is at full brightness when it's dark,but darker when it is bright outside which makes ABSOLUTELY no sense!
I'm also amazed, that your phones seem unable to run split screen with simple apps permanently. The phone always shuts off apps after a while. Why do you offer features that are unusable????
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Z Fold6, MJ. The Galaxy Z Fold6 is perfect for watching videos and enjoying an immersive gaming experience. It boasts a peak brightness of 2600 nits, an increase from the Galaxy Z Fold5's 1750 nits. Additionally, its 3-Step Vision Booster adjusts the display's color based on the surrounding brightness, ensuring clarity even outdoors or while on the go. We appreciate your feedback and noted your concerns regarding screen brightness and app performance. We recommend checking the display settings to optimize brightness under different conditions . To optimize the brightness on your Galaxy phone or tablet, start by opening the Settings app and tapping on Display. From there, disable the Adaptive Brightness feature by turning off the switch next to it. This feature adjusts the screen brightness based on ambient light, which can lead to constant dimming and brightening of the screen. Once you have turned off Adaptive Brightness, you can manually adjust the Brightness bar to achieve your desired level of brightness. This way, you can ensure that your screen remains consistently bright and comfortable, regardless of your surroundings. Our team continuously works on improving software features, including split-screen functionality, and we’re always looking for ways to enhance user experience. Make sure to keep your device up to date and update the apps as well. Your input is valuable in helping us make our products better for everyone.
