Z Fold 6: howl.link/hkj7fjmkilmx8
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is expensive and Samsung increased the price by $100 this year, but if you adjust for inflation it's actually about $500 cheaper than the Z Fold was in 2019, adjusting for inflation over the last 5 years.

Wait, my parents bought 6 acres in the Napa Valley in 1981 for $125,000. I'm sure when you adjust for inflation, it's cheaper now.
I checked trading in my S23 ultra - and still $1,000 bucks after taxes. I’m good. I will keep my s23 ultra for a few more years.

I agree with you as well for me. I have the one terabyte Z fold 5 with trading as well as a few other promotions I could get it for under $600 but then taxes are added roughly like $700 to get a Z fold 6 personally I'm keeping my five upgrade next year. Hopefully we get a little bigger screen a little better cameras, better stylist integration whether or not the stylist is built into the device I will hold my breath, but to be on a positive note if we think of years of Apple with the introduced, the new design of the phone and then the next year they would introduce the S model improvements I guess you could think of the Z-fold six as the new design and my fingers are gonna be crossed for next year where we get the Z fold 7 with the modifications to the new design..... I have dreams, right!!! Also Adam, thanks for the video :)

In the UK we don't get these insane trade in values, the highest we get is £640 off with an s24 ultra. Its ridiculous how much more the US get off than we do.
If we weren't experiencing inflation like we are now, the price of foldables would be dropping as they become more mainstream. I would imagine that without inflation, we would be paying in the $1300-$1500 range for a Z Fold. But, given that we are feeling inflation, the price staying the same is more on par with being where it is expected than to actually feeling like we are getting it cheaper despite a rise in inflation.

Samsung is pretty good about trading in Galaxy devices. I ordered a Galaxy watch 7 44mm for $130 after trading in my old Galaxy watch 4 which I don't use. I'm using the One Plus 2 watch now, but will use Watch 7 when it comes the 24th.
You make great videos Adam. I'm definitely someone that always wants the latest and greatest and I'm hoping the z fold 6 will at least give a little bit of improvement in battery life and that I'll notice a little bit of a difference in that wider front screen. I almost bought the global version of the Vivo X-Fold 3 but I've had issues in the past with those Chinese phones and getting notifications. Not sure if the global version will fix that because it's not technically released in the United States. If you had to pick, would you go with the z fold 6 or the s24 ultra and why?

You get the inner screen replacement free within the 1st year regardless of whether or not you purchase the additional Samsung Care + because It's part of the one year Samsung warranty. If you have the Samsung Care plus like I do on my Z Fold 5 you then you can take it to most any Samsung Experience Store, and they will install a new inner screen protector for free.

Correct. I didn’t imply that it was part of the insurance.
That's a good way of putting it. They really making it worth it for the 3 or 4. I think most of the upset is because they gave really good trade from the 4 to the 5 especially for the flip (800 making the 5 100 which is a steal) I'm interested to see if the internal changed makes it more durable over time as that's my main concern with these devices
Thank you for your honest opinion. I love Samsung OS. I have purchased the OnePlus Open while i enjoy this device i still miss the Samsung features. They dont offer a trade for this device which is a shame. What is your opinion should i sell this one and the fold 6?
I'm on the zfold5, I may upgrade since I get a yearly update for free anyways lol. My zfold5 is everything I've ever wanted in a phone, I hadn't even thought about upgrading it until all of the videos started popping up.
Imma just buy a broke fold or flip off ebay, i got my flip4 for 160, missing its main camera glass but the camera still works and has some gritty asthetic to it due to it having dirt on the lens. 169!!! Perfect inner and outter screen! Its beenabout 5 months now
I got the 5 I'm not upgrading to the 6 unless I break it I pay the 150$ by January and get the 6 in return
The new prices are crazy 🤪 considering they are using old parts they should be $1000 considering you can't Wright on the front screen no s-pen inside no 5000 mah battery and it should have the same cameras the S24 Ultra have if they put new parts and fix this absolutely I agree on the pricing
Good points, Adam.

They even seem to have taken a page out of Samsung's book and are offering free storage upgrade as well and their pre order window is 10 days longer.

Dont you have to at least factor in part of the loss you would be taking on the fold 5? If with taxes you paid 2000 for the fold 5 , then you would have an 800.00 loss plus whatever else you pay for the new one plus taxes again. I guess ultimately it just depends on how important having the new one is. Which I have certainly been guilty of in the past 😁
