    I planned to get the upcoming pixel fold 2 because not much has changed with the fold 6. However with fold 5 trade in and incentives, I can get a 1tb fold 6 for $683. I'm sure it will cost over $1200 for a 512gb pixel fold 2 with the trade in included. In the US, Samsung may not have the best foldable, but they have the best deal.

    No camera upgrades is a deal breaker add in the fact you only get £550 trade in value for the Z fold 5 in UK to me that means they dont value there own phones it was £1750 this time last year thats a 68.5% drop which is ridiculous. Seriously considering moving to oneplus open

Dead as fking serious too. Told me they didn't have any in stock so they would have to send me a rebate. Literally had to make several phone calls to t mobiles corporate to get them to replace my phone. Told me that insurion was supposed to replace it and what they told me was illegal ECT. After that BS I switched to OnePlus open. I'm not going through that BS scam ever again. To hell with that f fest. Samsung and insurion can go f themselves for life. Had to go buy an s24 ultra for a temp phone until my oneplus came in. And soon as it did gave it to my sister. F Samsung for life.

    did not watch it all coz the phone is so boring, however, the review is amazing and deserves both like & comment ! thanks. Honestly, with all failures that previous gens had I strongly doubt this model as well. So far, we've been offered to pay nearly 2k for a phone that: a) a year or so later might not fully open b) the screen is still soft and can be damaged with a nail due to a tough opening of the internal screen. c) a year a after phone looses at least 50% in its value. And previous gens up to 60-70% over 2 years. On top of that if it breaks, the phone becomes literally a garbage coz selling it for 100$ is just a nonsense and fixing is expensive and won't ever pay back due to a price loss. IDK, very questionable line of phones. Caring one like a baby and being afraid of it falling ... IDK

The main thing was the fold fails, screen protector needs frequent replacing and needs to sent off resulting in constant formatting to neet GDPR. Its a completely redundant product. But no reviewer ever talks about this. Only singing its benefits.
