I recently upgraded from my Z Fold 3 to the Z Fold 6, and I'm liking it so far. The biggest difference for me is the front screen size which makes a big difference when looking at and typing on the front screen. But weirdly enough, I kinda miss the old hinge on my Fold 3 which seems to be a lot smoother to open, not so stiff and rigid like the Z Fold 6, but the 6 is still solid I'll get use to it. I’m loving the AI features, and it’s awesome that I can still use my pen to jot down notes. I appreciate that the DeX feature is still offered on this phone as I have had in the previous Samsung phones. The phone feels super premium, though I do miss the curved edges a bit. This phone seems a bit more masculine with sharp edges I don't really like corners being so sharp wish it was a bit smoother on the edges. I do wish they could have made the phone a lot slimmer this go round, but I do notice the weight of the Z-Fold 6 is a lot less heavier than the Z-Fold 3. So I would have given the phone a 5 star but I really don't like the sharp edges and the phone could have been a lot slimmer this go round and they need to figure out how to implement the S-pen inside the phone instead of buying a bulky case to support the pen. Overall this is a good solid phone. I have no regrets, just looking for better results with the with the next upgrade.
I am very happy with my Fold6! While the front screen is narrow, I'm able to use it for most everyday functions. The large screen is terrific! I just watched several movies on it while flying home from a tirp. The screen is top notch and does the job when the front screen isn't enough.
Two stars only because its a phone and it does make calls. The rest is frustrating. I've had all the Samsung phones since the Note 3 through a ZFold 4,5 and now 6. Did the smart transfer twice. It dumped all but the recent text message history - years of it. Photo's are half there. They are forcing google talk on you now for a chat client. Samsung is become the Sony of the early 2000's, all hype no service. Odyssey Ark was an instant waste of thousands of dollars with no fix, Just buy our new addition. It didn't last two months, no honoring of warranty, just the suggestion to buy the Ark 2. Galaxy buds pro 2 were a waste. Galaxy Book4 Ultra continues to disappoint. 3 Samsung Tv's and 3 Monitors, all mediocre at best. I am done with Samsung!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
