Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Refinements feel real to upgraders from older Folds. Multiple commenters moving from Fold3 or Fold4 describe the Fold6 as lighter, thinner, with a better hinge and a wider cover screen that finally feels usable for typing and video. The squared-off design and shrunken crease visibility were called noticeable improvements. Several said trade-in pricing made the upgrade a no-brainer, even if they wouldn't pay full price outright for such incremental gains.

Price and missing accessories frustrate buyers. Comments repeatedly flagged the high asking price (up to $2,000+) paired with no included charger and no S Pen or in-body slot to store one, calling it especially egregious for a device already this expensive. Some found resale value collapsing fast post-launch. Others said the value only makes sense through pre-order deals or generous trade-ins, not at full retail price.

Cameras, battery, and durability remain sore points. Many users said the camera and battery have barely changed across several Fold generations, disappointing those expecting Ultra-level photography. Separately, a recurring thread of long-term owners reported crease bubbling requiring paid screen protector replacement, hinge failures, flex-cable issues causing black screens, and cracked inner displays, alongside frustrating warranty and repair experiences.
