Thanks to @Lucyc and @SocietyGirl I have the opportunity to test another premium Samsung Phone: the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

The phone was released on the 10th of July 2024 and when I received it at the end of April, it was running Android 14 OS UI 6.1.1 and it upgraded to Android 15 OS UI 7 at the beginning of May.
The one I received is Pink and I love the OS reinstalled customisation, it's not like me not to ad customisation to a phone I am using, but this is beautiful.💖

The phone features a Foldable Dynamic LTPO AMOLED X2, 120 Hz, HDR10+ 7.6 inches, screen, 1856 x 2160 pixels (~374 ppi density) which is bright and comfortable to look at and has a natural feel to it, thanks to the 2600 nits, which is bright and easy to look at in bright light as well (credits GSM Arena).
A Cover Display: Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2x, 120 Hz, 2600 nits, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, 6.3 inches, 968 x 2376 pixels, 410 ppi (GSM Arena), which is easy to use and access all the menu from it, but I wish it was a bit larger.

The phone is super responsive and it's a delight to use, to me it feels like a miniature tablet, and while using it, you question yourself if you need a tablet, because this phone has it all. 
CPU Qualcomm SM8650-AC, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4nm) 8-core, GPU Adreno 750 (1 GHz) (GSM Arena).
I noticed while using this phone, I felt more inspired and I tend to have increased productivity as the smoothness and the larger screen size compared to a 'slab' phone make the experience more ergonomic. I would recommend this phone for office workers or even students.

Phone has integration to all the social media, movie watching and Office Apps which are easy to use due to the Flex Mode feature, which allows the user to use the phone in landscape mode any way you turn it. The phone can be connected to other devices by using Samsung Dex, but I would recommend Samsung Flow instead, as Dex has been sadly downgraded recently. 
The Fold Z 6 features all the AI capabilities such as Circle to Search, Note Assist, Chat Assist, Browsing Assist, Gemini, effortless picture editing, portrait Studio, language Interpreter and much more.

An Spen Fold edition can be purchased separately, which also supports Air Command.

You can also drag and drop Apps or links between screens or use Multi- App view to open and use multiple apps simultaneously. 

The camera section features a triple camera 📷 50 Mp dual pixel, 10 Mp, 3x optical zoom and 12 Mp 12 nm (ultrawide) and a single Selfie camera 4 Mp under the foldable display a 10 Mp Selfie camera on the Cover Display, which take wide and detailed selfies. Phone's video capabilities support 4 K filming. 
The rear camera takes great pictures, but the Zoom is not impressive if you are trying to zoom into a far away scenery.

The Galaxy Z Fold weights 239 g but when it's opened it feels very light to hold with both hands.

To me this phone creates addiction, it gives PC- like or Tablet- Like feeling, it's super powerful and the 4400 Mh battery lasts a long time, although I would like to test it more until I can give a final review, but I am impressed with the lifespan I can say.

I wish it had more in camera section, but you forget about it when you are using it to perform your tasks with it, I would say it's dedicated for office work, social media work or for people who simply want more from their phone. 


🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 100% positive review from me.💖

Nice detailed post with lots of pictures is always welcome 😊

I have a feeling they will be popular with ONE UI 8 as Samsung has almost finnesed both hardware and software starting with ONeUI 7 and the S25 edge.

Yet another tremendous review of what is a truly fabulous device.

I product tested this last year and really enjoyed it but wanted more from the cameras.

Would like to see Samsung update the cameras to at least S25 Ultra standard for the Fold 7 if we are getting one this year. 🙏
S24 Ultra

Thank you GoanGeek.
Z Fold 6 felt great on UI6 and it feels great on UI7 as well. Somewhat it's from another league than the Ultras when it comes to being fast, although the Ultras are very fast too.

I believe they will be popular, but for the people who can afford them. Great phone though, feels like a desktop, but on Android.

Thank you Piper123.

I am really enjoying the phone too, there no fault, I have not encountered bugs or lagging whatsoever, which makes it a premium product and probably worthy of it's price. I really wish it was more rich in camera area. The rear camera takes sharp and accurate pictures, but the Zoom is not really great at the moment.
