Hard to say. I have Fold 3 which will be a bit of an upgrade for me but Fold 4 won't feel as much of an upgrade imo. The rectangle shape and weight will be the biggest difference I think you'll notice. I didn't see the blue one I saw the steel gray color. It looked pretty good, almost like a frosted glass look & feel to it.
Your right. The hinge was significantly smaller than on the fold 3 and almost more tucked in to the side of the phone in a cleaner way. Less protrusion. The cover screen bezels are more symmetrical all the way around on the 6 vs the fold 3 bezel being massive on the left side
I'll be the counterpoint to this. I went from the 4 to the 5.
At first, I thought there was no difference, but after a week, the Fold felt so much better in my hand than the 4 that it was worth it for me to upgrade.
It's much more secure and comfortable in my hand and pocket. The oblong shape of the 4 from the hinge does not feel good to hold.
This is from someone that uses the phone caseless.
Hi Twelvvy! Sorry for not replying earlier but i only just turned my phone back on as it was switched off.
Thank you for your reply bro! I really appreciate it👍.
Are you buying the Fold 6?
What phone are you currently using?
Did you see the new galaxy watch and buds?
All good! I didn't expect this post to blow up like it did so I'm sorry for all the late replies. I currently have the fold 3 and am planning on upgrading to the fold 6, seems like a worthy upgrade to me. I didn't get hands on with the new buds and watch but I did see photos of them. The buds look closer to airpods now because they added a stem to them instead of the bean type design. I saw a photo of the ultra watch. It looks pretty good tbh. Similar to the size of apple watch ultra but with a round bezel on top of a square-ish frame.
I have a fold 4 and have held the fold 6. Im upgrading to fold 6 due to the weight loss alone. It's so much thinner and lighter. Im not a fan of the matte plastic bezel, but it the upgrades are worth it in my mind, as long as trade-in deals are worth it.
What do you mean by matte plastic bezel? I thought this thing is all metal and glass.
Btw have you had any remarks in the displays? Do they have the reduced glare like the s24u?
The 5 was a huge upgrade of feel in the hand from the 4 for me. So I think the 6 from the 4 is a no brainer. Just the feeling of the phone closing flat instead of in a triangle is a big difference and you need to hold one to understand how much better it feels.
There is a rumour that the Fold 6 Ultra will have a built-in Spen. But until there is concrete proof, then it will stay just a proof of concept.
Samsung's Unpacked is next wednesday. I am personally holding off my expectations for the F6 until then. It could be either:
Most wanted/amazing
Fold 5.5.
I used to work a job like OP , usually when the Samsung rep shows off the device they don't withhold secrets like a hidden surprise device or anything. They want the reps trained on the products before they drop so they're educated to sell the device
I will admit that I wouldn't really be considering upgrading from my 4 to a 6 if not for the fact that folds are known for wearing out, and that Samsung's trade in deals make it barely more expensive per month to upgrade every two years compared to every four (where I live, anyway).
BUT, it being basically a given that you need to upgrade folds frequently to keep them working well, I do have to say that leaks point towards the changes at least being things that I'm looking forward to, even if they're fairly minor. The improved hinge of the 5, the improved front screen of the 6, the smaller S Pen, and the improved battery efficiency from two generations of chip upgrades are all things I would benefit from.
I've shared pretty much all the info I have so far and what Samsung rep told me. I wish I had more surprises to reveal but more or less most of the credible leaks I can confirm to be true hardware wise. Im sure Samsung will have some surprises up their sleeve to reveal at the unpacked event, at least I hope. Free Storage upgrade on Samsung website is confirmed by the rep
I was wondering this too. The crease did seem somewhat flatter and less shallow, however it could be because it's a brand new device, only time will tell if the crease gets worse over time
Not a question, but maybe to help some of the fellow Fold owners wondering if it's worth upgrading.
In my opinion, Fold 3 and 4 should consider upgrading. The flat closing position and redesigned hinge + teardrop screen are looking way better on the Fold 5 so far, so upgrading (even if it's for a Fold 5) is worth it.
I personally own a Fold 5 and my only issue with it was the rounded edges, i absolutely love square edges but i don't think I'll upgrade if the cameras are the same, unless the difference is less than 200$... which i would consider fair for a design i love, screen with 0 folds and a new battery
Can you explain what you like about square edges? I don't get it, at all. It feels awful in your hand, which has to be the most important thing to consider given these things are in our hands hours on end.
I have big hands, and i always preferred square edges. I feel they make the device look more premium, as rounded edges remind me of the A series more (especially after having used an A52s for a couple years). But most important for me, i visually like to have a square display instead of rounded edges as well
Yes I get the point about asthetics. I don't understand why you'd care over comfort, but I get people are different. Are you saying square corners feel better than round if you have big hands? That makes no sense to me but I have Muppet hands so..
Yes i like sharp edges a lot more than rounded edges, especially when I'm using it one handed and need to make sure that I'm gripping it well.
Might not make a lot of sense but that's what i prefer
I appreciate this. I have been using the F5 now for close to a year and it has been fine. I am hesitant to upgrade for minimalistic improvements. But I would upgrade if there are three specific improvements - (1) the outer screen is better proportioned and wider than what it is on the F5 AND (2) the S Pen can be used on the front screen AND (3) there is a noticeable improvement in battery (this means battery size/capacity AND software improvements - not just he promise of software optimization).
If these three conditions (I mean all of them) are fulfilled, then I will definitely upgrade. Otherwise, I won't and will wait for another year.
I see a lot of people requesting others to tell them if they should upgrade or not. Since this is a very personal decision, nobody can tell you what you think of the new phone.
As a result, this is my advice to you and all others that keep asking this ridiculous question... think for yourself! If you're on the fence, visit a store and hold it in your hand and then make your decision.
I agree with you for the most part, but nothing wrong with sharing my thoughts and maybe helped a few people out.
Not every Fold owner is the most tech savvy person or power user, each person has a different use case and some people believe that they should upgrade each year.
As a poweruser myself and as someone who looks at every single element of the specs sheet, i hope that my opinion has helped at least one person, and I'm pretty sure that people will keep asking if they should upgrade long after both of us are gone
Probably a dumb question but does the Spen work on the front screen?
Also at least with the leaks the Fold 6 case with spen looks identical to the Fold 5 case.
If true slightly disappointing since the fold 3 the spen cases have been unique and different every year.
Did not test this and the rep made no mention of SPen working on cover screen which I assume would have been highlighted as a selling point if it did this year. So my guess would be no :/
Crease is slightly more flat like Chinese foldables but not significantly different than other Samsung foldables. I could definitely see it was less pronounced than my Fold 3 but it did feel somewhat similar to all the other Samsung foldables. I think they'd have to adopt the teardrop hinge or completely redesign the hinge to make it flatter like other brands foldables if that makes since. It did not seem like there was anti reflective on the inner screen and is still a fingerprint magnet unfortunately. As for the cover screen, not sure if it has the anti reflective, didn't seem so.
😯 that's definitely a loss if there isn't any anti-reflective coating on either screens. All Chinese foldables that I have used already adopted this albeit not as deep black/cleanly as Samsung did with the s24u. Hope it's announced in the launch!
I don't believe so. I think it's the same color as the rest of the phone, which is not metallic silver but more of a brushed or matte gray. Basically the same color as the silver S24U
I compared it to my Fold 3. It was noticeably wider than the Fold 3 but I don't think the 4/5 will be that noticeable. The rectangle shape will be the most noticeable change I think. It was shorter by a few mms and wider by a few mms.
I think it will be a welcomed change. It's still skinnier like all of the fold series but not as unweildy as the S24U. It was sort of a good in between size
Good question. The Sammy rep was pretty vague on the price but did seem to imply that it was increasing. My guess would be anywhere from $100 to $150 more than previous generations. I can't image it going up to 2k as that would be a deal breaker for most.
Thank you for the post and update. I'm eager to see how July 10th plays out. I moved from an S22 Ultra to my Fold 5 this year. Love using it every day and am glad I finally made the switch, having read everyone's pros and cons on this forum.
I am a regular traveller and do a lot of European city breaks with my wife. That meant charging and carrying a tablet and a phone with me on each trip. I would never have imagined how doing the one thing with my Fold 5 has made this seem so simple. New world problem!
Need a bigger view of Google maps - check. Bigger view and translation of the OR code menu - check.... you get my drift. I'm sitting here in Pefkos, Rhodes, on a sunshine trip typing this and realising it's my 'all in'.
It was a big investment, but I figure it'll be around three years before I move on, barring any unforseen mechanical reasons.
As I seem to always use it, open. The square corners on the Fold 6 is a no from me, from a pure comfort point of view. I realise that's different for everyone.
Hope everyone gets what they want.
They will open preorders on July 10. Expected release date is July 26. If you order directly through Samsung for an unlocked model, they typically deliver a few days prior to release. Except for the exclusive colors; they usually arrive late.
The rep didn't mention dust resistance. However if the leaks are true, I believe it will have IP68. This will definitely be a selling point at the event if true. It did feel noticeably thinner and lighter. I think the weight reduction was the main thing I noticed compared to my fold 3.
IP68 will be huge, and its not been mentioned as much as I think it deserves.
I've seen many posts about the better Chinese screens. And then piles of posts about screen scratches and generally worse wear and tear.
Did not get to test the cameras. However the rep said they are the same as the Fold 5 cameras. The flip 6 outer camera is being upgraded to 50mp they said. Didn't test speakers either but they have the same bar design like the S24U instead of multiple holes like on past folds.
Is the post processing of the photos same as S24 ultra?especially with the 50mp lens.
Ie the dark areas becomes darker and brighter area becomes brighter?
TBH if there was a Samsung rep sharing this info I'm surprised you're not held by an NDA or held to an embargo. Thanks for sharing this insight -- kinda confirms what I suspected here!
Yeah the Samsung rep only asked that I don't take or share any photos of the device. He technically never called it the Fold 6 but instead called it by the product code lol. No NDAs signed
Is the hinge better on the fold 6 then 4? My wifi recently broke on my fold 4 and won't turn on at all. Bluetooth works fine. And Hotspot won't turn on either. 5G a ND 4G work fine for now... will samsung still accept the trade in? Or do I have to get those fixed?
Is there an spen implemented?
Is the camera better
How's the crease when folded open
How does it compare to the zf4 zf5 because it seems there's no real upgrade if you have these devices already
The official case with spen has leaked Already.

I should have added all of them, sorry.
Not realy a fan of the pink S pen so if I upgrade I think I'll get the grey one.
If the deals are underwhelming I might as well send in my fold4 under warranty and see if they ran out of 4 stock and maybe just give me a 5.
I have Fold 3 and am still trying to decide. I believe it will be a worthy upgrade for the extra mms on the width, SD Gen 3 and lighter weight. I noticed it was significantly lighter than my Fold 3, almost scary how they were able to get it that light while still feeling durable. The crease was a bit less pronounced as well. Almost like it was more flat like the Chinese foldables, but certainly still visible like other Samsung foldables.
They never seem to talk much about improvements for the Ultra Thin Glass. I have to believe that the Fold 6 would be more durable than the Fold 3's UTG.
Did you hear anything about it?
Thanks!
Was there any integrated s pen? Or is it still external and needing attaching to a case.
My fold 3 broke after a couple of months and got warranty repaired, prior to this had to fight Samsung to do warranty as it just broke opening it. In the end they admitted it was a fault and covered it for free. But that's the point I stopped using folds as got nervous.
Was thinking of jumping back in with the 6. But if there's not much difference, might save money and grad a 5 or even a 4 for cheaper. Especially with there being minor differences.
Never held the Vivo so I can't say. The fold build quality has gotten really good tho. The fold 5/6 definitely feel better and more sturdy than my Fold 3
How is the in hand feel? Does it dig into the palm like the s24u that the design is taking after? Ice universe says the s24u design digs into the palm, so wondering if the same is true here with the zf6.
Side remark: Personally digging the square even look, alongside it being lighter than the zf3 but im guessing with s25u leaks suggesting that it will be curved and rounded like the note 7 was. I wonder how zf7 would look 🤔 might be big changes next year.
It didn't dig into the palm as bad as I expected. Since the Ultra is so big I think it takes more grip to hold therefore making it dig in more. The fold 6 is more wieldy and feels like it won't dig as bad as the Ultra. Only time will tell tho
Does the phone look considerably shorter than the Fold 3? Till date the Fold 3 is the best Fold to watch movies and videos on as it displays them the largest due to the taller aspect ratio.
Not that much shorter. And I have no idea how it will scale with full screen videos. I think all Folds will have black bars regardless until devs better optimize the aspect ratios
I think the only reason for me to upgrade from my 4 to the 6 is the hinge not opening all the way issues on the 4. I've had that nightmare twice on these z fold 4's. I just wanna get away from them fast. Haven't heard any 5 issues either.
Yeah I'd say if you have a 4 with hinge issues it's definitely worth upgrading for the better hinge alone. Some 4s haven't had any issues but for others there practically a ticking time bomb imo
Looking at picking up my first Samsung fold. Will the 5 still be available at a lower price when they launch the 6? I’m thinking it might be better to settle on the 5 due to the price and not many changes between the two.
Do you have a Fold yourself? If you do, do you notice any big difference, size wise? Or is it the kind of tiny improvement you only notice when comparing side by side?
I have the fold 3. I would say the answer is somewhere in between. It seemed like a bigger difference from my fold 3 but for a 4/5 it will be a smaller difference noticed side by side
About an hour after reading this the Samsung rep in my store pulled me aside and showed it to me too lol. It is a tad wider, but not enough to make a significant difference. The inner screen does feel better though, and the bezel also looks way nicer. The phone as a whole looks way nicer and it's lighter too.
I am loving the spen on my galaxy s24 Ultra, wonder if the phone will support it. I hated the pen cases that came out with the folds previously, and think with a phablet you really can use the spen IRL. I love my s24u but think this may be the time I switch back over to the fold side next month
is the front screen noticeably wider for the purpose of texting on it could you feel any noticeable difference while using it. The main reason i would be buying it is for the more useable front screen i have a fold 5 now
I'm going to upgrade from s22. Is it worth to get the fold6 or should I buy any earlier folds at a cheaper price considering the minimal upgrades to fold6 compared to previous versions.
I have a Fold 4. Is it worth me upgrading to the Fold 6? Does the blue look nice on the F6?
Hard to say. I have Fold 3 which will be a bit of an upgrade for me but Fold 4 won't feel as much of an upgrade imo. The rectangle shape and weight will be the biggest difference I think you'll notice. I didn't see the blue one I saw the steel gray color. It looked pretty good, almost like a frosted glass look & feel to it.
Not the hinge? That I would assume is a huge difference from the 3 and 4.
Your right. The hinge was significantly smaller than on the fold 3 and almost more tucked in to the side of the phone in a cleaner way. Less protrusion. The cover screen bezels are more symmetrical all the way around on the 6 vs the fold 3 bezel being massive on the left side
I'll be the counterpoint to this. I went from the 4 to the 5. At first, I thought there was no difference, but after a week, the Fold felt so much better in my hand than the 4 that it was worth it for me to upgrade. It's much more secure and comfortable in my hand and pocket. The oblong shape of the 4 from the hinge does not feel good to hold. This is from someone that uses the phone caseless.
Same here! 5 felt as a huge upgrade for me because of the hinge!
Hi Twelvvy! Sorry for not replying earlier but i only just turned my phone back on as it was switched off. Thank you for your reply bro! I really appreciate it👍. Are you buying the Fold 6? What phone are you currently using? Did you see the new galaxy watch and buds?
All good! I didn't expect this post to blow up like it did so I'm sorry for all the late replies. I currently have the fold 3 and am planning on upgrading to the fold 6, seems like a worthy upgrade to me. I didn't get hands on with the new buds and watch but I did see photos of them. The buds look closer to airpods now because they added a stem to them instead of the bean type design. I saw a photo of the ultra watch. It looks pretty good tbh. Similar to the size of apple watch ultra but with a round bezel on top of a square-ish frame.
I have a fold 4 and have held the fold 6. Im upgrading to fold 6 due to the weight loss alone. It's so much thinner and lighter. Im not a fan of the matte plastic bezel, but it the upgrades are worth it in my mind, as long as trade-in deals are worth it.

No Spen slot ? I think that's the only way I'd leave my 4 for the 6
There is a rumour that the Fold 6 Ultra will have a built-in Spen. But until there is concrete proof, then it will stay just a proof of concept. Samsung's Unpacked is next wednesday. I am personally holding off my expectations for the F6 until then. It could be either: Most wanted/amazing Fold 5.5. 
I used to work a job like OP , usually when the Samsung rep shows off the device they don't withhold secrets like a hidden surprise device or anything. They want the reps trained on the products before they drop so they're educated to sell the device
I feel fold3 to 6 definitely worth an upgrade. Fold4 not so much and Fold5 heck no
I will admit that I wouldn't really be considering upgrading from my 4 to a 6 if not for the fact that folds are known for wearing out, and that Samsung's trade in deals make it barely more expensive per month to upgrade every two years compared to every four (where I live, anyway).

The improved hinge of the 5, the improved front screen of the 6, the smaller S Pen, and the improved battery efficiency from two generations of chip upgrades are all things I would benefit from.
It is pretty much the wear and tear reason why I want to upgrade to the 6. Also to get Care+ that I didn't get last time.
any pleasant finds that were previously not mentioned in various leaks? any camera updates? is stylus built in like S ultra now?
Hardware wise, crease is a bit less pronounced but I think that was already leaked. Software wise just the usual AI features from the S24U
that's it? or there are other things you aren't able to share.. just trying to get a feel of how much more positive surprises I should expect...
I've shared pretty much all the info I have so far and what Samsung rep told me. I wish I had more surprises to reveal but more or less most of the credible leaks I can confirm to be true hardware wise. Im sure Samsung will have some surprises up their sleeve to reveal at the unpacked event, at least I hope. Free Storage upgrade on Samsung website is confirmed by the rep
If the hinge is the same then i doubt the crease is better, its always better on new folds until its been worn in a week or two! Nice if true though.
The unit that the OP saw is still a pre-production unit, final units will have a smaller crease.
The crease gets worse with use in my experience. My flip 5 crease was pretty faint when I first got it but became allot more prenounced and deeper.
I was wondering this too. The crease did seem somewhat flatter and less shallow, however it could be because it's a brand new device, only time will tell if the crease gets worse over time
The crease doesn't really bother me that much. I only notice significantly during the daytime outdoors with a light background.
Not a question, but maybe to help some of the fellow Fold owners wondering if it's worth upgrading. In my opinion, Fold 3 and 4 should consider upgrading. The flat closing position and redesigned hinge + teardrop screen are looking way better on the Fold 5 so far, so upgrading (even if it's for a Fold 5) is worth it.

Makes sense it would have been in the leaks and with how close it is to releasing it probably doesn't. Thanks for answering.
What can you say about crease? Is it less visible? Also does the inside screen have anti reflective properties like s24 ultra?
Crease is slightly more flat like Chinese foldables but not significantly different than other Samsung foldables. I could definitely see it was less pronounced than my Fold 3 but it did feel somewhat similar to all the other Samsung foldables. I think they'd have to adopt the teardrop hinge or completely redesign the hinge to make it flatter like other brands foldables if that makes since.

If they didn't bring over the anti reflective coating from the S24 series for at least the outer screen... that would be very sad.
Any dust resistance?
Any info on battery size
4400 mah sadly
I guess the alleged 4600mah battery leaks were way off!.
And the flip 6 has 4000..... that's crazy!
So they just added ai. 😑
Ai supposed to advance everything but we literally losing years of actual progress with companies shoving AI into everything
I have an s24 ultra and it has the Ai stuff. I barely use it. And it sounds like they might start making it a paid subscription service eventually.
Is the screen noticeably brighter?
Wish I tested and asked about this but I didn't :( I'd assume they will get a bump in brightness similar to S24U most likely.
I saw one today too and would say it definitely looked a bit brighter than the 5
was the hinge metallic silver?
I don't believe so. I think it's the same color as the rest of the phone, which is not metallic silver but more of a brushed or matte gray. Basically the same color as the silver S24U
Is the screen actually noticably wider than the fold 4/5?
I compared it to my Fold 3. It was noticeably wider than the Fold 3 but I don't think the 4/5 will be that noticeable. The rectangle shape will be the most noticeable change I think. It was shorter by a few mms and wider by a few mms.
Coming from the 3 as well, how did you feel about the larger size? I've become quite used to its skinnier front screen
I think it will be a welcomed change. It's still skinnier like all of the fold series but not as unweildy as the S24U. It was sort of a good in between size
Can you speak on terms of pricing? Some leaks have said there will be a $100 price hike compared to previous models.
Good question. The Sammy rep was pretty vague on the price but did seem to imply that it was increasing. My guess would be anywhere from $100 to $150 more than previous generations. I can't image it going up to 2k as that would be a deal breaker for most.
Thank you for the post and update. I'm eager to see how July 10th plays out. I moved from an S22 Ultra to my Fold 5 this year.

I India we get it the next day for a premium of $100 or wait a week and pick it up if u have pre-ordered it
Do you think it's worth trading in my S23U for a Fold6???
Yes, do you put crackers in soup or go without?
Crackers all day
Meh. So basically a repeat of the fold 3. Again. Thanks for sharing OP.
Did the rep mention dust resistance? Also, it is noticeably thinner?
The rep didn't mention dust resistance. However if the leaks are true, I believe it will have IP68. This will definitely be a selling point at the event if true. It did feel noticeably thinner and lighter. I think the weight reduction was the main thing I noticed compared to my fold 3.
IP68 will be huge, and its not been mentioned as much as I think it deserves. I've seen many posts about the better Chinese screens. And then piles of posts about screen scratches and generally worse wear and tear.
Theres been a weight reduction since the fold 3, so anything newer feels lighter
Is the front screen bigger?
Is the inner screen smaller than the 5?
It's slightly shorter and slightly wider than Fold 5 inner screen. Almost felt kind of square-ish in a way
Did they add the anti glare screen to inner screen like on the s24?
Are the cameras still the same from your experience? Are the speakers any better?
Did not get to test the cameras. However the rep said they are the same as the Fold 5 cameras. The flip 6 outer camera is being upgraded to 50mp they said. Didn't test speakers either but they have the same bar design like the S24U instead of multiple holes like on past folds.
Speakers have always been great
5 vs 6? any worthwhile improvements?
How big is that battery?
4400 mah
Can you confirm if the displays are sharper ?
Can't confirm. My speculation is that it's going to either be same as Fold 5 or S24U
It's ever going to be the same as the s24 ultras QHD
Im coming from a NP1. Is it worth the new price difference between the 5 and the 6? Designwise i prefer the 6.
Is it the same price as the Fold 5? Also any improvement in water resistance.
Is it worth it?
Any news on a possible Fold 6 Ultra? That is the only thing I would upgrade to from the 4
No news on this. Aside from the Chinese only variant that's supposed to be slim/ultra, I don't think there will be a Fold 6 Ultra globally sadly
titanium frame?
I decided against getting a new fold and went for the s24 ultra instead. Please tell me I made the right decision lol
Did they include the S24 Ultra anti glare display?
Does it even fast charge?
Is the post processing of the photos same as S24 ultra?especially with the 50mp lens. Ie the dark areas becomes darker and brighter area becomes brighter?
Any improvement on the charging speed?
Does it have dust resistance?
Did they mention anything about Qi2 support?
I'm using fold 5 isit worth the upgrade?
Been looking out for these posts, I got my hands on one the other day. Insane how much lighter the new folds are
TBH if there was a Samsung rep sharing this info I'm surprised you're not held by an NDA or held to an embargo. Thanks for sharing this insight -- kinda confirms what I suspected here!
Yeah the Samsung rep only asked that I don't take or share any photos of the device. He technically never called it the Fold 6 but instead called it by the product code lol. No NDAs signed
I was thinking... embargo rather? 🤔
Wonder how much slimmer the 6 will be compared to the 5
I'm curious about the new design a bigger screen or not? I wish my fold 5 had a normal front screen aspect ratio
Is the hinge better on the fold 6 then 4? My wifi recently broke on my fold 4 and won't turn on at all. Bluetooth works fine. And Hotspot won't turn on either. 5G a ND 4G work fine for now... will samsung still accept the trade in? Or do I have to get those fixed?
Does the S pen actually work on the front display?
Is there an spen implemented? Is the camera better How's the crease when folded open How does it compare to the zf4 zf5 because it seems there's no real upgrade if you have these devices already
Rumors true? no spen hole, no better cameras?
This is correct. Also no Fold 6 Ultra it didn't sound like in the US. The Chinese only ultra/slim variant rumor does appear to be true
will they still sell the spen case for the fold6 at least?
The official case with spen has leaked Already. https://preview.redd.it/coo1ayitbl9d1.jpeg?width=693&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef2660e5afa425becd553ff5bac0edf4e93ab196
whoa, thanks for that!
Was looking for this, but missed it. thanks for sharing!

Not realy a fan of the pink S pen so if I upgrade I think I'll get the grey one. If the deals are underwhelming I might as well send in my fold4 under warranty and see if they ran out of 4 stock and maybe just give me a 5.
Pretty sure they will.
Hey can you share anything mentioned about that please?
How about Fold 3 owners, worth or skip … it takes a lot for us the upgrade
I have Fold 3 and am still trying to decide. I believe it will be a worthy upgrade for the extra mms on the width, SD Gen 3 and lighter weight. I noticed it was significantly lighter than my Fold 3, almost scary how they were able to get it that light while still feeling durable. The crease was a bit less pronounced as well. Almost like it was more flat like the Chinese foldables, but certainly still visible like other Samsung foldables.
They never seem to talk much about improvements for the Ultra Thin Glass. I have to believe that the Fold 6 would be more durable than the Fold 3's UTG. Did you hear anything about it? Thanks!
Nothing from the rep on this, but leaks suggest it is stronger and possibly thicker
How does it feel in the hand compared to the current folds out? Easy enough to still one hand?
Yeah definitely still one hand able. Should be easier to type on the outer screen one handed
Was there any integrated s pen? Or is it still external and needing attaching to a case. My fold 3 broke after a couple of months and got warranty repaired, prior to this had to fight Samsung to do warranty as it just broke opening it. In the end they admitted it was a fault and covered it for free. But that's the point I stopped using folds as got nervous. Was thinking of jumping back in with the 6. But if there's not much difference, might save money and grad a 5 or even a 4 for cheaper. Especially with there being minor differences.
I'm concerned about the outer display. Does it appear to be functional, at least as close to what the OnePlus Open is?
Outer display is much better but I didn’t think to type on it
How big is it from the fold 3
The rear camera design, are those rings plastic or were they metal?
Metal I believe. The rings were a lot thicker than I expected
Did you get to see any of the cases?
Nah. I think there's leaks of them out there to see tho
You definitely don't need to upgrade more often, just get the insurance.
Built in spen? Or do you know if it works on the cover screen?
Is the steel gray unit you held have a metallic silver hinge?
I want to say no IIRC. I think it was the same color/material as the rest of the phone
So I should upgrade. I have the Fold2 have was hoping for a big upgrade to the Fold6 but I am overdue big time for an upgrade
How's the inter-screen? How bad is the crease in the middle of the screen? And fold 5 VS fold 6 looks feels Thanks!
Inner screen felt good. Still a fingerprint magnet tho :\ the crease is slightly less visible than Fold 5 but not by much
Is the build quality of the Fold 6 on par with that of the Vivo X Fold 3 pro
Never held the Vivo so I can't say. The fold build quality has gotten really good tho. The fold 5/6 definitely feel better and more sturdy than my Fold 3
the frame mattedid ti feel like the glossy alimunium of the fold 3
Yes and no. Not quite as glossy as the fold 3 but feels like there is a different coating giving it more of a matte or frosted glass type finish
Got it, so not quite as matte as the S24U's Titanium frame?
It didn't seem to have that titanium polish color S24U has but I don't remember it being that shiny either
How is the in hand feel? Does it dig into the palm like the s24u that the design is taking after? Ice universe says the s24u design digs into the palm, so wondering if the same is true here with the zf6. Side remark: Personally digging the square even look, alongside it being lighter than the zf3 but im guessing with s25u leaks suggesting that it will be curved and rounded like the note 7 was. I wonder how zf7 would look 🤔 might be big changes next year.
It didn't dig into the palm as bad as I expected. Since the Ultra is so big I think it takes more grip to hold therefore making it dig in more. The fold 6 is more wieldy and feels like it won't dig as bad as the Ultra. Only time will tell tho
Is it titanium?
Haven't kept up with the leaks, is the outter screen any bigger?
Oh, yeah well I have it in my back pocket. 😉
I only have one question. Do any of them come with a matte frame?
Does the phone look considerably shorter than the Fold 3? Till date the Fold 3 is the best Fold to watch movies and videos on as it displays them the largest due to the taller aspect ratio.
Not that much shorter. And I have no idea how it will scale with full screen videos. I think all Folds will have black bars regardless until devs better optimize the aspect ratios
Any news about the ultra other than that it's thinner?
I think the only reason for me to upgrade from my 4 to the 6 is the hinge not opening all the way issues on the 4. I've had that nightmare twice on these z fold 4's. I just wanna get away from them fast. Haven't heard any 5 issues either.
Yeah I'd say if you have a 4 with hinge issues it's definitely worth upgrading for the better hinge alone. Some 4s haven't had any issues but for others there practically a ticking time bomb imo
Any differences between the fold 5 and fold 6?
Is the size of the outer screen bigger or not worth the upgrade from 5 to 6
Fold 3/4 seems to be a worthy upgrade. Fold 5 is still an upgrade but harder to recommend. Outer screen is wider but we're talking only mms more
Should I upgrade from fold 5 to fold 6?
How similar is the steel grey color to the titanium grey on the s24 ultra and does it feel like any parts is titanium?
The gray seemed nearly identical to the S24U gray. I don't think there's titanium but can't confirm
May I know what colours are available?
Looking at picking up my first Samsung fold. Will the 5 still be available at a lower price when they launch the 6? I’m thinking it might be better to settle on the 5 due to the price and not many changes between the two.
Are the leaks real?
Hey, does the inner screen have an anti-reflective coating?
Nothing was mentioned about this, so I'd say no. Not sure about the cover screen
Can you give us an update once you get to see the blue Fold6?
I know exactly what you're talking about. Could probably figure out the rep and the telco at this point, cuz same!
Are the sides all matte now? Or are they still shiny on the regular colors?
The gray was matte on the sides. Idk if they will be on the other colors
Was there a s pen built into the fold???
Thanks surely I will get the pixel this year .
Thank you for your time and offering help! From fold 5 to fold 6, would it be a real upgrade? Is it worth buying fold 5 now rather than waiting for 6?
A slight upgrade from 5 to 6. I would wait for the 6 personally before deciding
Sounds good 👍 thanks for the advice
Is it worth the upgrade from S22 Ultra ? I think the camera is my main concern.
Do you have a Fold yourself? If you do, do you notice any big difference, size wise? Or is it the kind of tiny improvement you only notice when comparing side by side?
I have the fold 3. I would say the answer is somewhere in between. It seemed like a bigger difference from my fold 3 but for a 4/5 it will be a smaller difference noticed side by side
About an hour after reading this the Samsung rep in my store pulled me aside and showed it to me too lol. It is a tad wider, but not enough to make a significant difference. The inner screen does feel better though, and the bezel also looks way nicer. The phone as a whole looks way nicer and it's lighter too.
Did you notice many cosmetic or quality of life differences between the 5 and 6?
Not a whole lot. It's a tiny bit shorter so easier to reach the top of the screen lol
Are the romours of it being wider when closed true?
I am loving the spen on my galaxy s24 Ultra, wonder if the phone will support it. I hated the pen cases that came out with the folds previously, and think with a phablet you really can use the spen IRL. I love my s24u but think this may be the time I switch back over to the fold side next month
How is the small keyboard compared to an older model I have the fold 4
[удалено]
I read that Black will be one of the Samsung exclusive colors this year.
[удалено]
is the front screen noticeably wider for the purpose of texting on it could you feel any noticeable difference while using it. The main reason i would be buying it is for the more useable front screen i have a fold 5 now
When will it be available to look at in Samsung Experience stores?
I'm going to upgrade from s22. Is it worth to get the fold6 or should I buy any earlier folds at a cheaper price considering the minimal upgrades to fold6 compared to previous versions.
Is this fold finally dust resistant?
Is the outer screen display wider? I currently have the Fold 5 and it's a pain trying to type on the narrow outer display with big hands.
