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.
So glad you posted this. I have the Fold 3 and feel like ill actually possibly enjoy the outer display unlike i do the Fold 3.
Great to hear the 6 has come out I am still using a fold 3 as the price is too high for me I am still paying the old phone off but great to hear and thanks for your review .

I definitely need an upgrade. I'm still rocking the Z Fold 3... the middle of the screen is so bad though. I do hope that Samsung has fixed this issue with the 6.

Good video! I feel like the Ultrahuman Ring Air might have some advantages, like a circadian clock, caffeine window, stress score, and sleep debt feature. Any thoughts on that? Will you be doing a comparison?

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

Oneplus Open is the move still. Sasly no wireless charge but other than that, everything else is notably better than the fold 5/6.
Samsung keeps improved the fold 6 in a well mannered way so much more premium and more real estate than the fold 5

@@vinnymac1 not Everytime. I had a fold 3 and after 2 times the insurion company who does t mobiles insurance try to tell I'd have to buy a new phone and they would send me a rebate after I sent them a receipt. 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.

I don't think i could ever get a fold again even tho i really want to. I have had the 3 for about 2 years and within the first 6 months the inside screened turned black and became unusable. Since it wasn't covered i would've had to pay hundreds just to fix it. Don't wanna go through that again.

If you look at the comments, theres always a bunch of stupid ass complaints. Lets not forget the only ones pushing the market for real when it comes to phone tech is Samsung, not mf Apple, but SAMSUNG. So stop complaining because this is still the best foldable.

Vivo X Fold 3 Pro Global might be worth a look and tomorrow the Honor Magic V3 launches
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
@basbasov

I'd rather stick to an iPhone that even a year-two after can be sold for at least 70-80% of its initial price. Looking forward to Apple releasing a foldable that will be both well made and will last years without loosing much in its value.

What no one seems to menfion on any reviews - these dont work with long term use. I won't go near Z fold again though. 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.
