It seems that all leaks seen over the past month are fairly accurate with the minor incremental changes.
It does look nice as a hardware unit... but a certain 1mm width to the cover screen, and still with almost identical specs in many areas to the fold 5... isn't exactly the encouragement for me to buy the latest and greatest model. I was really hoping they would have found a way to integrate the s-pen, and at least improve the screen crease... both slightly let down.
I may bide my time for a little while... keep an eye on youtuber reviews and decide whether fold6 or fold5 is the most economical.
Tempted...yes. overwrought with pulling the trigger. Not really. 😄
I think when there is another opportunity to get a fold5 at large discounts... this may be my first foldable introduction 👍

There really isn't any good reason to upgrade from flip 5 tbh. If Samsung throw in new buds 3 pro for free lke last year, then I may consider.

I'm in the now redundant Samsung Upgrade Programme. Samsung say the scheme is "ending, but you can still get one of our latest AI-powered devices1 when you head to the Upgrade Lounge and switch to Samsung Finance."
This has got to be the worst of all the offers. I can hand my Fold5 back and buy the Fold 6 (but with only 256Gb of storage. My Fold5 got a free 512Gb upgrade and 2 years Samsung Care+ Insurance) for £1,799. I have a £100 discount voucher which reduces the cost to £1,699. This includes one year free Samsung Care+.
Using a variety of discount codes I can actually get a new Fold6 with one-year Care+, a case, screen protector, a Galaxy Watch Ultra with a free strap, all for less than £1,600. That's over a £1,000 discount compared to full prices.This involves a trade in of and older Android phone for a guaranteed £100 and a Samsung Watch5 Pro for £150. Of course, I then need to sell my Fold5 to repay the original loan.
Overall Samsung's lauch offers are far poorer than for previous years. No Buds3Pro, no 'free' starter pack with case, stylus and charger, no two-year Samsung phone insurance, no Samsung Rewards £50 credit, no free Disney Channels for a year...
Reflecting the similarities between the Fold6 and 5 Samsung is not convincing me to upgrade!
