My 2 year old Fold is SO MUCH worse... - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6

Wait- linus didn't review the fold?

For a second there I thought that the title said "my 2-year-old Ford is so much worse" but then I looked at the thumbnail and thought "There's no way that he is comparing a car to a phone." I HAD to look at the title again xD

Fold 4s not opening all the way is a very common issue. I happened to mine 1 year in. I've switched to the OnePlus open and I'm loving the wider cover screen.

The fold 4 should have had a recall. I have the 3 and mine goes basically flat still while my step father has the 4 and looks exactly like yours. INSANE.

10 metres would be a crazy USB length 😂

The biggest holdup I have with getting a Galaxy Fold(or folding phone in general) is seen pretty easily in this video. It's not how nice the Fold 6 is, it's what the Fold 4 looks like after 2 years. The bubbling up on Fold screens, micro cracks, hinge not opening all the way, etc. - it's not quite at the level of reliability I would be comfortable with. It's a real shame too because every time I see the Fold I love it. If it was a reliable mobile phone, I would immediately pick one up. Maybe they are getting there with reliability, but I would like to see how the current generation Fold's fare over the next couple years.

My S9+ might get to 7 years. But it won't be getting updated. So it's nice to know for those of us who don't update our phone every other year that it'll still get updates

Elijah opening his current 18-month-old phone is all the reason you need to not buy a Fold.

I literally did the same thing, transferred my Fold 4 to my new Fold 6. What a difference.... But I also updated my Watch 4 to a Watch 7 and HOLY CRAP that was a generational perf boost

"Why not make the device that thick" 💀

I upgraded from Fold4 to Fold6 and I can feel the difference between the two every time I pick it up or unfold it. Only a daily driver can tell you how big of a change it is from old Folds.

0:05 So a $2000 phone only lasts 2 years. Nice. My 5 year old S20 Ultra is still doing fine after almost 5 years, and I will be keeping it a while longer.

Oh wow we've got the grey version

"Because mine, if you can hear it *phone cracks*, is not in the greatest of, uh, shapes." proceeds to fling phone Ah yes, hm. I wonder why....

Wow I'm surprised they are at 6 already. I have the Fold 3 and its a nearly perfect device. I'm hoping to never upgrade since it does everything I need but obviously it will force me to eventually. Glad to see when the day comes I do have to upgrade at least the same format will be available.

I wouldn't be so rude to Dbrand Elijah. You never know what they come up with, when they target someone that is not Linus xD

is it jsut me or the fold 6 looks soooooo much better then the previous folds

I completely agree about the camera bump. Just make it thicker with a bigger battery. Thicker doesn't matter in actual use at all.

Fold 4 is the most broken samsung fold ever. I myself have had 2 fold 4 bend halfway on me. On the other hand fold 5 have aged so nicely for so many people. You can't even find a single fold 5 that doesn't open flat online. Fold 4 had some issues with it bristles that got stuck in hinge and lead to it not opening fully. But since fold 5 those issues have been resolved entirely and they are lasting way longer than the previous.

My fold 4 had the same squeaky hinge opening and it wasn't opening flat as well. Returned it to Samsung and got a normal s24 ultra. Miss the big canvas though
