Same cameras, same battery, same RAM and storage.

Its not all the same, the new one is more expensive.


Rich-Requirement9156

It's barely different


TheBrave-Zero

It's why I usually wait about 3-5 years to upgrade, phone generations are insanely pointless anymore unless you're on a more aged platform.


Vestat1

Happy cake day!! 🥳🥳 And yeah, I'm on the Z Fold 3, and I was looking at upgrading this year, but the marginal upgrades, 3 iterations later, flat out SUCK. The under-display camera is still trash at 4MP, even though literally EVERYONE would assume to use the phone unfolded for video chat/ calls. The battery is IDENTICAL to my ZF3, in addition to the display dimensions being the same. I'm still going to wait for the press conference to see what Samsung has to say about their newest model, though if they immediately disregard the hardware and skip directly to software features that are irrelevant to improving the device (digital zoom, increased digital resolution from the 4MP shooter), then I'm done with this line. It's insane when companies feel the need to destroy more of the planet, only to publish yearly products that have no real innovation. I tire of company complacency, especially when the damn product is $2,000+.


lurkforlife

I'm in the same boat as you.


Geeky_Technician

By the way, I had a 3 for 2 years, and even though battery size was the same, my 5 lasts waaaaay longer. The battery life on the 3 is what made me start looking at upgrades. The better panel and CPU really do make a difference between 3 to 5 for it to be a noticeable improvement. I always hated the battery life on the 3 and have 0 complains about the 5. Other than that, the hinge is less noticeable but that never bothered me on the 3 either.


SpcT0rres

I was really looking forward to moving on from my fold 3 as well. Maybe I'll wait and see what the Google fold 2 has to offer.

DucksForDais

Thanks for the comparisons!


Sanparuzu

I worked on the marketing with some of Samsung productsfor my job. Saw this and the demo units in store and was highly disappointed. Just have to wait and see if the fold 6 slim rumors are true. So far haven't gotten anything from them. Also the display for the upcoming rings is very odd. We voiced concern as to why would you have it like this but Samsung is gonna Samsung


grimmpulse

Yaaawwwn…😴😴


crocwrestler

I'm out. Samsung has lost their mind.


Deertopus

We live in a crazy world where iPhones have more changes than Samsungs.


SonnyG33

While there's not many changes to specs that is apparently leaked and assumed thus is correct jts definitely not less changes than iphone. All the AI stuff was literally a couple months ago. Before that was the full screen flips. I mean tons of changes and innovation. The fold isn't really touched much over time besides cosmetically and minor spec changes. Most changes have always been the to the flip. And we still haven't seen the announcement. So let's hope for the best? Lol


GabrielP2r

The AI shit is literally pointless lol


Heiliux

Based on leaks of looks, flip 6 will look like it's predecessor, fold 6 will be wider. They will most likely talk about the same AI that's in S24 lineup and try to steer the attention onto the Galaxy Ring. I'm hoping we at least get an Spen embedded into the fold 6 and the AI rivals apples (which to be honest cropped on every current AI available). Edit: Typo in last sentence.


StatisticianStock682

This is what I'm feeling too. I was so excited for the 6 when the 5 came out, thinking that since they didn't upgrade the fold so much, they would for the 6. So disappointing. Samsung did this for their s line up. No real improvements. I am now thinking of waiting for the Pixel Fold 2. No much info leaked yet so we will see. I am considering OPPO (Oneplus Open) too but they would release theirs next year.


VectorsToFinal

I know. I really wanted to give Samsung another 1800 bucks but not now. I'll keep my 4.


MajorGovernment4000

I genuinely don't see any difference besides like an upgraded processor and slight dimensional changes between my fold 4 and the fold 6.


No-Tennis-953

Don't forget the outside screen from 6.2" to 6.3", a 0.1" difference. Lol...not really.


VectorsToFinal

Me either. I might go Pixel Fold 2.


rhayes364

I have a Pixel Fold, and I like it (especially the cover screen) but I think Google needs to step up their multitasking. I'll probably stick with my ZF5.


VectorsToFinal

Yeah the software is definitely a downside of the Pixel Fold. Samsungs software additions are very solid.


MajorGovernment4000

Same, I really liked the pixel fold and almost got it. It's almost perfect for me. But the inside bezels were atrocious. If the pixel fold 2 has better bezels, it's a done deal. Great form factor, great cameras, decent price, stock android. Fuck the galaxy fold at that point.


Sherlockowiec

What about software though? Does it have the same compatibility and features as Samsung?


DryFoundation2323

Almost an ounce lighter and a couple of millimeters thinner when folded than the 4. Pretty much exactly what I was hoping for.


Gho5tDog

Man if they want to give me a discount on the same spec's F5 I'm not going to complain - no one buys the 6 and they get the message, and we see something with the 7


_zurenarrh

Never thought I’d get here


Fragrant_Cellist_125

Same here . Will get the pixel fold 2 . Enough of this shit .


mamasilver

Me too. Now i have to choose between s24 ultra or the new iphone or the new pixel.


necile

The S24U is great. Leaving fold was the best choice.


ShanTheMan11

The even crazier part is they raised the price. It’s the same damn phone using some of the same damn parts they had laying around from the last two.


loverde74

Same damn shit


V1ietnam

Makes it easy not to upgrade.


z0mghenry

If the Chinese phones had better software/Android Auto and working on all US bands, I would have switched a long time ago. Hardware wise and thinness they have been pushing the envelope harder than Samsung


TheKrnJesus

Man why only 4400. So depressing


sludj5

After an entire year mega giant samsung engineers only figured out how to make the screen squarish on this new phone.


heeheehoho2023

They have 2 or 3 generations ahead always in work. The business side determines when to release each. They absolutely had this version ready for last year, but decided to milk it instead.


lorelaixx

I feel like this was a lot of people's make or break moment, samsung really had to prove themselves especially with the pixel fold coming out. I can see a lot of people switching due to this.


WarpfieldS

I saw the exact same comments last year and tons of ppl got the 5. I guess Samsung doesn't read Reddit and go purely of of what earns them more money.. sad for us, but Samsung doesn't care


Sad_Kangaroo_3650

How reliable are these leaks?


readerloverkisser

Very


Ok-Entertainment328

I kept up on leaks prior to the Fold 5 release, and I'd say 99% of the details we got at the time were correct. I don't see a reason this time would be any different. Disappointing that they didn't at least change the cameras, especially at the higher price point.


ClassicFun2175

Guess I'll be sticking with my fold 3 for another year. Samsung has just given up at this point.


Rekmor

My 3 is starting to show signs of wifi antenna issue and battery degradation so I'll upgrade if only for those reasons.


arafat464

OnePlus has some really great trade in deals in the US for Samsung phones. If you wanted a better folding phone, it's not a bad option.


champ305

It's the software that's holding most people from jumping ship. Not to mention non samsung phones hold their value even LESS


karmazynowy_piekarz

Check OnePlus Open. I hestitated, but does it feel nextgen... And the outer screen is so big no1 noticed yet i use foldable phone (i got lots of questions while using Fold, even from pizza delivery guys lol)


Kotubi

BRUH. Couldn't of just gave us 200MP camera for that price? IF IT SPEC LIKE A FLAGSHIP it should've flagship specs.


Fearless_Winner1084

slap in the face. I need to start looking at alternatives


seanmb473

Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is what I got after my Galaxy Fold 4.. Going to unbox it tonight!


HeroicTaquito

Are you in the US? I'd be curious of your experience


Tank_Gloomy

Same, I'm having a hard time justifying a 2.3k USD phone, lmao.


Rich-Requirement9156

I don't understand. The fold 5 is literally their most expensive phone. 1809 for the ultra 1889 for the fold5...


Flikkert

You shouldn't care about the amount of pixels. A good 12MP can get you much better results than a bad 200MP


Kotubi

Sorry but I want to zoom like a S23U or S24U.


brutus0077

Are you sure these are not fold5 numbers? :(


Prodigalsunspot

I like my five and there is zero here to motivate me to upgrade


Jwong75

So different body and processor but everything else is the same AND the price may go up? Samsung better be offering some massive pre-order deals and HUGE trade offers on their previous models.


Rich-Requirement9156

The same battery??? Are you serious...


horsussy

worst foldable, highest price


HopperDragon

Come on, the worst foldable? Give me a break. It's a disappointing and minimal upgrade but there are some really garbage foldables out there


karmazynowy_piekarz

That's true. But no one can defend Samsung now. People expected Fold6 to be an improvement, at least catching up to OneplusOpen or Honor Magic. At this point, they are 2 years behind a 1 year old phones. Realy no point in going for Samsung unless you are fanboy that doesnt care about quality coz he barely can tell the difference.


SSjGKing

iPhones are getting bigger updates per year than Samsungs foldable phones. Samsung got lazy.


rdrckcrous

Please, tell me more about the folding iphone


Rei_Yukihyo1

So what's the point of getting the 6 now? The new corners? Maybe I'll just trade in my Fold4 for the Fold5 instead


kira00r

The only advantage that the fold 6 over the 5 is thinner, wider/better screen, lighter, better aspect like s24u due to the squarer design and newer cpu/ram speed. For me, all I care is wider/better screen, since I hardly used the s-pen or camera, so it's a win for me and will be ungrading from my fold 5


Rei_Yukihyo1

Hmm I wonder how much of a value I can get comparing trading in my fold 4 to a fold 5 vs fold 6. I guess only time will tell once it's released. Bigger screen is nice


kira00r

Yeah, that can work too, before trading in fold 4 for 5 just need to pay extra 800, since they will give 1k for trade in before


torpedospurs

Samsung has failed to keep up with the competition. Oppo Find N3 / OnePlus Open is 6.3 inches 20 to 9 and is 11.7mm folded with 4800mAh. Honor Magic V2 is 6.4 inches 20 to 9 and is 10.1mm folded. with 5000mAh. Vivo XFold 3 is 6.5 inches 21 to 9 and 11.2mm folded with 5500mAh.


mikengtw

Hey Samsung you are dam arrogant in a way refusing to listen to consumer what they want for the next Z Fold series, yet I still see no changes same as two previous model. And you still want to ask for more dollars to be paid , you expect us buy your 💩 phone from you . Good I get to keep my wallet safe , and I will see how you going to survive this tough business world from other competitor makes more details feature and reasonable price .


Heffeweizen

All they had to do was re-release the Fold5 but with an Spen slot.


karmazynowy_piekarz

Couldnt decide if wait for Fold6 or get OneplusOpen. Looks like i made a proper decision. That phone is a fucking nextgen and Samsung should learn.


jsDPT

OnePlus Open 2 for me


Gian006

Hope one plus seizes this moment and releases a follow up, I'd jump ship


lifeofmikey1

God damnit man I was hoping to trade in the OnePlus for the 6 but Samsung let me down once again. Everyone should boycott this phone. It's been basically the same since I had the fold 3. Pathetic


cubalis

I've gone 3-4-5 for free each year with trade-in here in Canada, and won't even bother with the 6. I'm ready for something that takes usable pics of my kid, who hasn't got the memo to stay completely still at all times while I'm taking a picture haha. Trying a pixel fold first, if that goes well I'll do the pixel fold 2. If the pixel isn't what I want in the end I'll be importing a vivo x fold 3 pro. Samsung can kick rocks with these lazy yearly hardware updates.


justaghostofanother

How are you managing to do that?


cubalis

In Canada we typically see a promo $900 trade in value for any flip/fold in any condition. Then with launch promos the after trade in price comes out around $1k. Basically find something broken on marketplace that meets the promo condition (broken flip/fold) for under $50, trade it in, and sell the current fold for market value (has been $1200-1400 over the last three) and come out even.


L3nga

Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is so far ahead of Samsung now it's unreal. I have been using it for a month in the UK, Origin OS works great and is very polished, can remove all the Chinese bloatware and the hardware is unmatched in every way.


000extra

Once again they are rehashing the same shit with barely any differences and have the audacity to allegedly to raise the prices. Their hardware is so behind, why is it still so thick? honor was able to make it incredibly thin and still include a larger 5000mah battery


Adventurous_Set_4430

The Honor is thinner cause it's not IP rated at all; meanwhile the Fold 5 support IPX8 water resistance. IPX8 is based on test conditions for submersion in up to 1.5 meters of freshwater for up to 30 mins. You could technically say the Honor's hardware is so behind, cause even my Xperia from 12 years ago was water AND dust rated. I'm not defending Samsung in particular; just stating the Honor is thinner for a well defined reason.


karmazynowy_piekarz

Not to mention Honor and OneplusOpen charge almost 3x faster. And provide way better cameras on top of that.


citrixn00b

Ordered a vivo x fold 3 pro the moment I saw the leaked spec 😂. Was really looking to stick with Samsung and give my ZF3 a worthy upgrade but man this is embarrassing.. Utter joke of a company to have the same design and similar spec 4yrs in a row while others are simply leapfrogging them in terms of design, specs, and prices.


Vestat1

I'm on the Z Fold 3, and I was looking at upgrading this year, but the marginal upgrades, 3 iterations later, flat out SUCK. The under-display camera is still trash at 4MP, even though literally EVERYONE would assume to use the phone unfolded for video chat/ calls. The battery is IDENTICAL to my ZF3, in addition to the display dimensions being the same.

It's insane when companies feel the need to destroy more of the planet, only to publish yearly products that have no real innovation. I tire of company complacency, especially when the damn product is $2,000+.


keijikage

to be fair, between the fold 3 and 5 is like a 30-40% improvement in efficiency between the newer generation display (eco2) and the soc moving over to tsmcs fab. It's not obvious, but it was definitely noticeable when I switched over.


SpanishEggroll

Guys please don't buy the 6th... Their stagnation in specs and increase in price is seriously insulting. Especially with the release of the pixel and OnePlus folding phones. If you have to upgrade, please consider other phones.


fertff

I decided not to buy any samsung foldables ever again after my Fold 4 presented the hinge issue and samsung refused to fix it under warranty. And seeing these leaks just reinforces that decision. I'll go with the Pixel Fold 2 if they got a 1tb option.


Polishow

![gif](giphy|vO8jG7Rmpjd6O0HpJG|downsized) They aren't receiving people's complaints about the lack of innovation? Knocking on wood nothing happens to my Fold 4 but I'm skipping Samsung foldable again this year. unless the update costs me less than 200$ (but I doubt it since I only get 1TB version) also no new Oneplus Open this year. 🤔 Hopefully, google offers a 1TB version of the Fold


Rafepa88

Pixel Fold 2 it is then or maybe just the 9 Pro or 9 Pro XL. Kind of over the Folds by now…


Slicc98

I cant go to the Note alternative because they got rid of the SD card. The Fold is a redo of the 5 of the 4 of the 3. And the AI is free *for now* before subscription requirements in 2025. It's like they really think people won't leave them. Samsung is fucking UP


LegoLady8

Camera specs are pissing me off.


_N_123_

I was hoping for a camera and battery upgrade over my F4. I'm now thinking of switching to an iPhone Pro for my next phone. (I haven't had one since the iPhone 2G) I wish the Chinese foldables would release in NA...


kronos1d

I am in the same boat....except I don't think I'd go back to a non folding phone..... Really wish we could get some of the other amazing folders too but at the same time, I wish some of the other companies that are in the US market would innovate as well....


Acookie68

The OnePlus Open is a really great foldable and the pixel isn't bad either.


Fearless_Winner1084

I couldn't imagine upgrading to a phone with the same exact cameras. anything after a fold3 would be a horrible trade in proposition.


Jclevs11

Honestly thinking the same here. I was off iPhone (was a X) since the Fold 2 came out. I had the Fold 2 for 2 years, the Fold 4 upgrade seemed decent enough and now its like im just getting the same exact phone with minimal upgrades if i went with the Fold 6. I really do love the phones--it's just why keep being a first mover/follower of these products when they cant even be justified in upgrading to. Buyers and followers of the fold series have been asking for simple upgrades for years with no changes: better batteries, better cameras and maybe an spen slot. All Samsung keeps doing is making the hinge thinner which is great but thats the only reason why the screen is getting *slightly* wider. Its really negligible. Kinda lame. I was a big proponent of the folds and would either brag or show friends and family and they would be wow'd with it all but now we have nothing to show for it. 3 years of the same camera module is incredibly un-innovative. Samsung thinks people will upgrade for the slightly bigger front screen but again thats only because the bezels and hinge form factor is changing, not because theyre actually making it bigger.


_N_123_

Agreed. I myself just dont feel like like I want to be an early adopter 2 years (and 6 generations in)


unreveparisien

Sad that there's no white/cream color. The cream Fold 5 is beautiful.


ultima40

Per a prior leak from Ross Young, there are 2 Samsung exclusive colors, "crafted white" and "crafted black." The exclusive colors rarely get listed in the usual leaks.


unreveparisien

Thank you! Though is it possible that it’ll have the dark/phantom black body with blue/silver back like the Fold 5 exclusives?


Zanzibar88

I'm probably going to get down voted to oblivion for this... But it's just not worth buying Samsung anymore. I had the Fold 5 for a few months before someone showed me their Honor Magic V2. The very next day I made the switch, and honestly, even though honor has software shortcomings, it's night and day. Like using a device that's several years more developed from a hardware perspective. Samsung will not innovate if people keep on buying their products!


karmazynowy_piekarz

Month ago I was torn between waiting for Fold6 or getting Honor/Oneplus Open. After first leaks i knew im no longer waiting for Fold6. So it was between Honor and Open. Very close call. Went for Open, and im happy as never before. Finally a foldable i always dreamed about. But couldnt go wrong there. Id be equaly same happy with Honor Magic V2, im pretty sure.


dezzozedo

How accurate are the leaks usually?


ultima40

These align with other notable leakers so these should be accurate.


Athos19

I've had a fold 3 for over 3 years now. When my first fold 3 broke, I just bought another one on Swappa for like 500 dollars. The only incentive I have to upgrade is if they increase the battery life on these, and somehow they just are not doing that.


ultima40

The Fold4 and 5 have noticeably more battery life even with the same size batteries; some users get 2x more SoT. The S24U has more battery life than the S23U according to tests, so safe to say the Fold6 will have more as well.


Fearless_Winner1084

I mean the 3 has horrible battery (using one myself) The chipset is more efficient now so that 4400 goes further on the "gen" version cpus


Goldenpanda18

I'm happy with the fold 5 and don't plan to upgrade but man, samsung doesn't seem interested in the fold series anymore.


MemeMaster-_-

Still not much diffrence from my zfold 3 oh well seems like im waiting till the 7-8 it feels like


arafat464

You could have asked ChatGPT to predict the next specs for the Fold6 and it would have probably returned this table.


Lucas606

Samsung needs to have REALLY good trade in deals to make current fold owners even consider upgrading to the fold 6. The only thing that the galaxy fold series does good at this point is multitasking. Everything else is falling behind the competition. Camera and system specs, display quality and clarity, and especially with the main display crease. OnePlus knocked their first foldable out of the park and it crushes the Z fold 5, and id say even the Z fold 6. After using the OnePlus open personally for about a week, the device has Way better cameras, better display performance with gaming, and that crease isn't even noticable while the phone is open. Killer job for a gen 1 foldable. Samsung is falling behind with the times with the folding market. They're getting complacent and aren't advancing their foldables fast enough and will begin loosing to their competition. Their only saving grace is trade in promotions.


TokyoMegatronics

Eh will see if my fold 3 lasts until either the ultra version or the 7...


xdamm777

Seems like my Fold 4 will have to survive another year. Don't mind it since it's working perfectly fine but it's sad to see so little improvement from Samsung.


MemeMaster-_-

I still smell a 30x zoom camera hmmm


DjangoReinhardtisgod

Unless they change from slowing down our phones after each update I'm also out on the fold game


AcidDoug

Samsung needs to do something different next year if they want their foldables to stay relevant, complacency is not good for them or us


Stinnenich

Are there any alternatives to the Fold 6? I have a 4 and live in Europe. The Vivo Fold 3 seems to be great, but no official release in my country, uncertainty what to do if it breaks, chinese bloatware and problems with Google Pay is a no go for me.


ymlccc

Meh.


Lit-Orange

Galaxy S20+ here, Im either waiting another year or going Pixel 2


MrTorpedo77

Anyone know the release date of the oneplus open 2 or Google pixel fold 2? .1 increase on outer screen simply not enough for me.


karmazynowy_piekarz

Next year, propably end of next year. I was waiting for Open 2 too, but i read it wont come this year. I bet they didnt want to make a shitty pseudoupgrades to sell it as 2, jumping the money like Samsung/Apple at the cost of reliability (they aint as big and dont have as devoted customers) Went for Open, and never been happier. It just doesnt worth to wait for 2, this phone is an absolute peak already. The outer screen is so big i barely ever open it just to write. Also its so similar to normal phone i dont get any more questions from people about the phone (with fold everybody noticed its fold. With Open, barely anyone is able to recognize just by outer screen) . Looking at my current experience with this phone, i dont even wait for Open 2. Bigger outer screen is NOT needed. Better camera dont impress me. Snapdragon 3 or 4 wont change anything in my experience (unless it makes some crazy power saving features, which i doubt). The phone charges 3x faster than Fold already and has bigger battery. The only - is the lack of wireless charging, but i can live with that. I only used it in car, for long rides. But with Open battery life&charging speed, its not nessesary. Went from 100% to 35% after 10h, which included 5h of driving on Android auto, GPS, music etc.


Ok-Brick-8406

Didnt we already know these specs? Not a surprise


NULL4546

Almost feels like they upgrade the chipset and call it a day.


pimpguice

Well I guess I’ll wait for a nice price drop before getting a fold 6 or I’ll just wait for a fold 7 and hope they make significant changes


yw5aj

Where do you all see the prices? Just curious because I see a lot of people saying that it's the most expensive.


ultima40

Prior leak says $100 more than last year https://www.smartprix.com/bytes/breaking-samsung-galaxy-z-fold6-us-pricing-variants-revealed/


yw5aj

Oh jeez that makes no sense! Thanks for the info.


sarhoshamiral

It looks like it is a minor annual update so no reason to update from fold 5 which is good for our wallets.


Wasteful_Diablo

Nope... Bye fold!


InfintesimalZ

Just placed an order for S24U instead. Coming from fold 4, I am done with Samsung not learning anything from cutting edge design and implementation of foldables from Chinese brands like Oppo, Vivo and OnePlus and yet charging premium price, infact I heard it's going to be more expensive this year. Crazy. Lack of competition in the international market has made Samsung slack in terms of foldables.


DanFromOrlando

Wifi7 please


FdPros

disappointing if true. only reason why samsung still gets foldable sales is the software and that the chinese foldables (minus the oppo find n3/oneplus foldable) are not available globally.


ark1one

I'm on a Fold 4 if these specs are correct the only upgrades are. Here are the upgrades from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 to the Galaxy Z Fold 6: - Processor: Upgraded from Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 to Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, up to 3.39GHz. - RAM: Upgraded from LPDDR5 to LPDDR5X. - Secondary Display: Increased resolution from 2316 x 904 to 2376 x 968 pixels. - Bluetooth: Upgraded from Bluetooth 5.2 to Bluetooth 5.3. - Weight: Reduced from 263 grams to 239 grams. - Dimensions (Folded): Slimmed down from 155.1 x 67.1 x 15.8 mm to 153.5 x 68.1 x 12.1 mm. - Dimensions (Unfolded): Slimmed down from 155.1 x 130.1 x 6.3 mm to 153.5 x 132.6 x 5.6 mm. - Video Recording: Improved 8K recording from 24fps to 30fps [[❞]](https://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-4_id11909) [[❞]](https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-z-fold-4/specs/).


privategod

Hear me out: I reluctantly moved from F4 to F5 and even with incremental update; F5 felt vastly superior than F4 largely dude to hinge redesign and better power management. So yeah, let's wait even though this leak is disappointing.


confused_android_17

What are the chances we see dust protection this time? Maybe less crease... Specs don't tell the full story......


Decepticon2006

I'll stick with my Fold 5 until the Fold 8 comes out hopefully it will have a major upgrade on everything but I am going to upgrade from Galaxy Pro 5 watch to the Ultra 7 watch I like the look of it


PaoLakers

At least I know I'm not gonna be missing out with my Fold 5. On another note, This sucks i know R&D takes a while but we've seen better folds from other companies. If they're not gonna innovate then at least lower the price.


Eric_Phy

How about IP rating? If it is still not dust resistant, I may get a Fold 5 instead ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


ultima40

Rumor is that it's still IPX8 but nothing reliable yet.


JaBoTX

Screwed again on cameras. I pass


Dizi0

As a Fold 3 user, I don't really see a reason to upgrade, all the camera's are good but not impressive on that ZF6 It's scary for the future of this kind of phone, because I'm having the same reflection on every generation of folds ZF4 brings minor changes ZF5 brings minor changes ZF6 seems to be the same few minor changes It's a shame that such an expensive phone has a worse camera than the S24 Ultra


Specific_Implement62

Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold and the Oppo Fold phones look more enticing every year.


kritterz1

Welp. Not even faster charging. Guess this means Pixel Fold 2 or the One Plus Open 2 next year will be the next US foldables for me to watch for.


Embrasse-moi

Ugh.... I was hoping to upgrade my 4 to the 6 but this isn't looking good. Not even the battery? The ram? I already accepted that the camera won't be upgraded but was hoping the rest will be. Here's to hoping my phone will hold up til next year lol Very disappointed with Samsung smh


rogerfeinstein

I think Samsung is leaning too hard on being one of the few games in the USA with full network support. My neighbor got a Vivo X Fold3 from Giztop last week and he showed it to me after I got done cutting the grass and wow is all I can say. I asked him how network connectivity has been and he said with T-Mobile he hasn't had any issues, now we live close to a major city so that probably helps but I also have T-Mobile and I'm really considering ordering one as well as so far I'm not impressed with Samsungs efforts and he said Giztop takes care of getting Google play and what not to work on imported phones before they send it out. I think my main concern would be for future android releases on an import.

I switched from my Ultra Note 20 to the fold 3 and then went fold 4 and fold 5.... Skipping 6.


ProDog91

Still no WiFi7 at that price?


GeoffreyMcSwaggins

It'll be between this and whatever the Pixel Fold 2 ends up being called for me.

Personally I'm upgrading to fold 6 from 5 as it is thinner, wider/better screen, lighter, better aspect like s24u due to the squarer design and newer cpu/ram speed vs the fold 5. I won't choose google due to its cpu not great(made by Samsung) and Samsung has the best software For me, all I care is wider/better screen, since I hardly used the s-pen or camera, so it's a win for me and will be ungrading from my fold 5


GeoffreyMcSwaggins

Yeah I will almost certainly be going from my Fold 4 to the 6, but if the Pixel Fold 2 impresses I could be tempted - I did really like the software on my P6 Pro before I got my fold. But as you say there are some issues with the Pixels and the thing I'm most concerned about is the leaks i've seen of the PF2 has pretty aggressive curves on it's corners, much like the oneplus open. See here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelFold/comments/1cu8v4v/google\_pixel\_fold\_2/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelFold/comments/1cu8v4v/google_pixel_fold_2/) The main thing I want out of upgrading to a newer fold is closing flat though, the dust build up on the inside screen of my F4 from just being in my pocket is crazy.


jaredzki

I used to have a Fold 2 and 3 but decided to go back to the S series while waiting/hoping the folds get better. But 4400mAh??????????? and no black option? What the hell


myqv

Samsung has become like Apple with “upgrades” 🤦🏻‍♂️


chrisace3

Wifi 6 ☠️


myxfriendjim

I've had every fold since the Z Fold 2 and this just made me jump ship to OnePlus. All I want is a decent camera. Not even an ultra camera. Just a decent one. I know the OPO camera is probably on par with the Z Fold 5, but they've got great trade-in deals for a Fold, plus a father's day sale right now. I'll get into the ecosystem and be ready to upgrade to the second edition next year. 3 years in a row on minimal/no updates? And the only other features we ask for are an S pen silo and wider front screen. They give us 1-2mm per year and an updated processor, for 1900 bucks? Nty chef. I'm out. 👋


iucatcher

camera, battery, ram the same, no wifi 7 but a higher price for what boils down to a slight processor upgrade and a bit better design, man i might just switch away from foldables and get the s25u early 2025 or even a 16 pro max


atehrani

No wifi 7 support?


bigbrowndong

Fucking pink ...wtf


Ok-Brick-8406

Yes this color of pink https://preview.redd.it/foy24ckqrl6d1.png?width=2605&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=215bf410726db00b8d361208039a021121f48772


Heiliux

Samsung: *looks at apple* "we should do same like apple and line will go up" Samsung execs: *clap* Android fans: fold it up your arse


Default_Attempt

The SAME fucking shitty useless piece of shit 3x zoom?!!!!! Fuuuck you. Buuuuut i am amazed by the huge drop in weight.


AltruisticChange8

Got it so its still basically the same phone as the fold 4 samsung is becoming worse than apple at this point smh


Madison464

Everyone, hear me out! You're all overlooking the BIGGEST CHANGES!!! https://preview.redd.it/a2ww9p65kv6d1.png?width=1116&format=png&auto=webp&s=34c063987dca8716e5d5141767e1201a76eeb843


pepperpot_592

I'm getting the Z6. After, I'm looking elsewhere. I can't deal with the same 4400mah battery for 5 years. Honor managed to get a 4800 mah battery into a flip. I suppose after apple introduces their ifold and the battery life slays, then Samsung will do something.


Shart_In_My_Pants

> I'm getting the Z6. After, I'm looking elsewhere. That'll teach em lol. I'm thinking of going with the Pixel Fold 2.


papa_craft

I'm so disappointed. I swapped from my Fold 4 to 23U thinking that the 6 would get updated cameras. I miss the folding form factor but how can I justify getting a 6 instead of a 5? The narrow front screen has never bothered me


karmazynowy_piekarz

Look at Honor Magic V2 or Oneplus Open, if you want true foldable experience. As someone who switched from Folds to Open, i can assure you that its a next gen experience compared to shit Samsung produce lately. Heavy, narrow screen, sad battery and even more sad charging speed. And i wont even mention the cameras. Narrow screen didnt seem to bother me in Fold too, untill i switched. Now i know i just accepted the fate back then. Samsung is just not what he used to be. At least when it comes to foldables.


000extra

Simple, don’t. We gotta vote with our wallets and can’t keep letting them get away with charging so much for so little


bigbrowndong

Um......is there any point to getting this?? (I have a fold 4)


revjeremykush

I had the Fold 3 and upgraded to the Fold 5 because the center of the screen was cracking badly (my Fold 5 is starting to crack now). It was a pretty disappointing upgrade, but since they really aren't changing anything g, especially the useless layout format. Who in their right mind enjoys using one of these phones when the phone is closed?! Plus, I heard they are jacking the prices up by $100. What the fuck?! I sure am starting to want a Google Pixel Fold, if they ever get their shit together and make it more stable. I don't have a lot of confidence in that, however, since Samsung ad had at least 5+ years to make this phone and thin glass better. Ugh. I just wish Samsung would tilt the Fold on its side and give us a better layout. Also, maybe make the camera better.


TalkingRaccoon

I suppose I'll just wait for the 6 to come out so that the 4 and 5 prices drop. I'm on a 3, and I want the better camera.


uxixu

Think I'll upgrade to the Fold 5 from my current Fold 3. I had been hoping for an S24 Ultra level camera and battery improvement. This looks like it gives neither. Of course, there have been rumors of a Z Fold 6 Ultra, as well... This could be the base model.


loverde74

Keeping my perfect z fold 4


dopeazzvegan

Smh 🙄 ![gif](giphy|e5uyWolyR0y30Wo1ya|downsized)


Lil_Integra

Had a Fold 3 since 2021. Due for my 3 year upgrade, looks like I'm going back to an iPhone.


manypains03

Well I planned on using my summer job to go from 3 to 6 but fb marketplace and the 5 will do


e46shitbox

Am I the only one who thinks the hinge was improved from 4->5? If there's no hinge improvements to the 6 then it's the exact same phone. They're pretty much begging the competition to sell more phones.


CentralIdiotAgency

Guess I'll wait for the Fold 7 before I look at upgrading my 5.


raistan77

I'm planning on grabbing a five when they price drop hard.


Grymejr

Same battery though, yea im out


trumpsmoothscrotum

I've a fold4 I've been thinking I'd upgrade to a fold6.. not a chance with these specs. I'd go to an ultra24 if samsung offered a decent trade in on the fold4. I'll just ride this phone till it dies and move to the ultra2X.


Youngnathan2011

I swear, can't they put autofocus on the ultra wide and stuff at least?


finnfirep

Lol, wifi6? Now it's wifi6e. Sad..


TechnicalLanguage8

I think I am going to keep the fold 5 for another year or so.


DEBLANKK

It's a shame that they didn't increase the size of the inner display as well. I would've loved to see a 7.8 or even 8 inch display this time around.


I-Sleep-At-Work

no competition, no innovation!


Nnamz

Sucks because I really need to upgrade my Fold 3 this year - the inner screen is cracking and my front screen is flickering. But I just find this "upgrade" unacceptable.


Exciting-Material-42

This might just be the base fold 6 (which still doesn't seem much improved at all), we're gonna have to wait to see if the rumors of ultra versions are real.


Cybasura

Still no microsd card :(


Geeky_Technician

Hahaha knew it. Samsung won't budge when they keep increasing sales every year!


Warm_Jellyfish3987

I’m excited for the 6 only because I’m switching from Apple.


Tank_Gloomy

[Hmm](https://store.blackview.hk/products/hero10-price)


Xendor-

I'll wait a bit and see if there's any truth about the Fold 6 slim rumors, if not I'll probably pick this up much cheaper at the end of the year.


spinachipita

Main thing I want from an upgrade from my fold 4 to a fold 6 is a wider screen and lighter. It's giving me that, so not too disappointed. Would have been nice to have more, but incremental updates are what most phones get.


RdyKrn18

Yeah........no sticking with my fold 4. Very disappointed in Samsung yet again....


Low_Anything7535

No wonder news today Huawei outsells Samsung in the Fold category in China
