This year’s Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 is here, and it not only brings the AI smarts, it’s slimmed down and super light.
The innovative foldable, with a 6.3 inch AMOLED cover screen and a tablet sized 7.6 inch 120Hz foldable brings the best of both worlds in to one.
Folded the Galaxy Z Fold6 is easily pocketable, but still I find the cover screen a little too narrow for daily use.
Opening it up is where it’s at, and where you’ll get more use with split screen apps, mobile gaming, excellent mobile photography and more.
Under the hood the model in this review has 256GB storage, 12GB RAM, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and 4400 mAh battery.
The rear facing triple cameras come in at 50MP wide, 10MP telephoto and a 12MP ultrawide. For your selfies you have two options, the cover screen pin hole camera is 10MP while the 4MP one is hidden under the foladable display.
It’s fair to say here that while the photo’s that the Fold6 takes are clear, detailed Samsung has held back a bit on the mega-pixel count for it’s lenses in the Fold series.
Video recording does have 8K, which matches their other flagships in the S Series.
The 120Hz refresh is brilliant for high end mobile gaming and as always having that pixel perfect foldable tablet display takes your game to the next level.
The Galaxy Z Fold6 has the goods for some serious Triple A games on Android and Xbox Cloud.
Given the more screen real estate you can multi-task like a pro. The prior mentioned split screen apps allow you to work on one side while streaming media on the other.
Combine this with Samsung’s new AI, where you can circle and search, edit your pics like a professional getting AI to do the tricky stuff, translate languages and more, the Galaxy Z Fold6 is a one stop smartphone / tablet hybrid that does everything… except last the distance.
On average use you’ll definitely a full day on a full charge. While battery life always depends on what you use your smartphone for, when mobile gaming, the Fold6 battery just wasn’t able to keep up. From full charge and two hours of Diablo Immortal the phone was almost drained.
This said, the graphics and gameplay were stellar on the fold screen.
And while I’ve mentioned that the Galaxy Z Fold6 is thinner and lighter than previous models, it’s also very pleasing to see that when folded the phone is flush without any gaps.
If you’ve jumped on the foldable screen bandwagon already then the Fold6 is a definite and worthy upgrade. However, if you’re still on the fence about owning a fold device, this year’s model is likely to be the one to give you that push in to the phone / tablet category.
Slim, light and with enough screen for anything you want to do on a phone, the Galaxy Z Fold6 is mastery when it comes to foldables.
