The baseline variant with 256GB of storage costs $1,899.99, while the 512GB variant costs $2,109.99. The 1TB variant sells for $2,259.99; all are marked up by $100. The retail pricing makes the Fold 6 one of the most expensive smartphones money can buy, which might not be all that good, especially since other manufacturers like Google, OnePlus, Vivo, and Xiaomi are catching up. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":1,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":798} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":798,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":true,\"countRemainingForInjection\":102,\"nextBlockCount\":353,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":true,\"nextCount\":1151} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":1,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":900} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<p> The Fold 5&#8217;s price range is slightly lower than that of the Fold 6. For instance, you can get the 256GB model for $1,799.99 or the 512GB model for $1,919.99. The top-tier Fold 5 with 1TB of storage is available for $2,159.99.

First, the tall and narrow cover screen isn&#8217;t as comfortable as a traditional smartphone. This became more prominent after the OnePlus Open and Pixel Fold arrived with their nearly perfect cover screen and a square-ish inner display. The bulky form factor isn&#8217;t one of the strongest suits of the Z Fold series either. With the competition launching thinner and lighter book-style foldables, Samsung had to catch up big time, and that is exactly what it has done with the Galaxy Z Fold 6. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":3,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":3,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":3,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":461} --><\/p>\n<p> Unlike the Fold 5, which measured 154.9 x 129.9 x 6.1mm when unfolded, the Fold 6 measures 153.5 x 132.6 x 5.6mm, making it slightly shorter and wider, and not to forget, thinner at the same time. Even when folded, the Fold 6 measures 153.5 x 68.1 x 12.2mm, making it 1.4 mm shorter, 1mm wider, and 1.2mm thinner than the Fold 5. With the change in dimensions, the Fold 6 now has a larger and broader cover screen of 6.3 inches (with an aspect ratio of 22.1:9) compared to the 6.2-inch external display (with an aspect ratio of 23:9) on the Fold 5. It&#8217;s not a stark development, but it does have an impact on the overall usability of the device, especially the cover screen. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":3,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":3,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":3,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":1141} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":4,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":4,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":3,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":0,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":null,\"countRemainingForInjection\":null,\"nextBlockCount\":null,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":null} --><\/p>\n<p> With the launch of lighter foldables like the OnePlus Open (239.39 grams for the Voyager Black finish) or the Vivo X Fold3 Pro (236 grams), the Galaxy Z Fold series did start to feel a bit bulky. Acknowledging the competition, Samsung has managed to reduce the weight of its latest foldable by a good 13 grams. The Fold 6 weighs 239 grams, while Fold 5 weighs 253 grams. Purely from a portability perspective, the Fold 6 should feel lighter and easier to carry around, fit in pockets, slide in a bag, etc. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":4,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":4,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":4,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":507} --><\/p>\n<p> Besides being lighter and slightly wider than its predecessor, the Fold 6 comes in three primary colors: Navy, Pink, and Silver Shadow. Buyers can also get the phone in White and Crafted Black finishes if they purchase it from the Samsung Store.

Yes, even the Fold 5 came with that level of water resistance.

The updated hinge isn&#8217;t just twice as strong as the one on the Fold 5; it also reduces the crease&#8217;s visibility. The new design also helps the company reduce the hinge&#8217;s weight, making the Fold 6 more portable. Protecting the cover screen is Corning&#8217;s Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Moreover, the Korean tech giant has put in a lot of effort and resources to make the new foldable more durable. It may not be as sturdy as a regular slab-style smartphone like the S24 Ultra, but perhaps as robust as phones with a folding screen can get at the moment. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":7,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":7,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":7,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":379} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":7,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":7,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":7,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":379} --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"snapdragon-8-gen-3-vs-snapdragon-8-gen-2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snapdragon_8_Gen_3_vs_Snapdragon_8_Gen_2\"><\/span> Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 vs. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> Last year, Samsung&#8217;s flagships relied on Qualcomm&#8217;s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which doesn&#8217;t feel underpowered, even in 2024. However, with the Fold 6, buyers get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC (4nm), which offers a significant upgrade over its predecessor, both in terms of raw performance and efficiency.

Samsung partnered with Google to integrate the latest Gemini app into the Fold 6. While these features are a part of One UI 6.1.1, the operating system that Fold 6 ships with, there&#8217;s a good chance that Samsung will introduce some of them, if not all, to the older flagships (including the Fold 5) via a software update. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":9,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":9,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":9,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":542} --><\/p>\n<p> What won&#8217;t expand to the Fold 5 is the promise to provide seven years of major operating system and security updates for the Fold 6 <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":9,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":9,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":9,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":679} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":9,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":9,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":9,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":679} --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"fold-6-features-the-same-cameras-as-the-fold-5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fold_6_Features_the_Same_Cameras_as_the_Fold_5\"><\/span> Fold 6 Features the Same Cameras as the Fold 5 <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img image-expandable img-article-item\">\n<figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Person holding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 showing the three rear cameras\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1724818276_115_Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-6-Vs-Galaxy-Z-Fold-5.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1724818276_115_Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-6-Vs-Galaxy-Z-Fold-5.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"height:auto;max-width:100%\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Justin Duino \/ How-To Geek<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":9,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":9,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":9,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":919} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":10,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":10,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":9,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":0,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":null,\"countRemainingForInjection\":null,\"nextBlockCount\":null,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":null} --><\/p>\n<p> While the Fold 6 does have some worthwhile upgrades, the cameras aren&#8217;t one of them (except the ultrawide sensor). Like the Fold 5, the Fold 6 ships with a 50MP (f\/1.8, OIS) primary camera, a 12MP (f\/2.2) ultrawide sensor, and a 10MP (f\/2.4, OIS) telephoto sensor that provides 3x optical zoom. On the cover screen, users get a 10MP (f\/2.2) selfie shooter, whereas the main screen houses a 4MP (f\/1.8) under-display sensor (which still doesn&#8217;t come up to the mark of regular sensors). <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":10,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":10,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":10,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":494} --><\/p>\n<p> The new 12MP ultrawide sensor on the Fold 6 can record 4K HDR videos at 60 fps, which could be significant for vloggers or content creators. Further, the sensor clicks brighter and more detailed images in low light (folks at <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/galaxy-z-fold-6-vs-z-fold-5-testing-samsungs-new-ultrawide-camera-sensor\/\">CNET<\/a> put it to test), but I suspect that&#8217;s more about the software than the hardware itself, as the camera&#8217;s aperture hasn&#8217;t increased. Though the Fold 6 has a familiar camera setup, Samsung aims to improve the overall image quality by integrating the ProVisual Engine that debuted with the Galaxy S24 series, including several AI-based features, including Auto Zoom. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":10,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":10,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":10,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":1100} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":11,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":11,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":10,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":0,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":null,\"countRemainingForInjection\":null,\"nextBlockCount\":null,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":null} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":11,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":11,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":11,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"battery-life-and-charging-speed-are-no-upgrade-either\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery_Life_and_Charging_Speed_Are_No_Upgrade_Either\"><\/span> Battery Life and Charging Speed Are No Upgrade Either <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> Unfortunately, there are no upgrades in the battery department. The Galaxy Z Fold 6, like the Fold 5, draws its power from a 4,400 mAh battery that supports 25W wired charging.

First, it has a more durable hinge, the backbone of the large 7.6-inch foldable screen. There&#8217;s an improved IP rating, a more powerful yet efficient processor, and a slightly better ultrawide camera. It&#8217;s like the company has fulfilled all the shortcomings of the Fold 5 and presented it as a new smartphone. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":11,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":11,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":11,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":842} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":842,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":true,\"countRemainingForInjection\":58,\"nextBlockCount\":342,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":true,\"nextCount\":1184} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":11,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":11,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":11,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":900} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":12,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":12,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":11,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<p> However, to answer the question of which is right for you, we&#8217;d have to consider your current smartphone. If you&#8217;re using an old Samsung foldable, like the Fold 3 or the Fold 4, upgrading to the Fold 6 will create a world of a difference, provided your budget allows.
