      Why the f... Samsung do this? Put on the market very expensive products, and then in a few monts give you vouchers, 20% off sale, or the price drop from 1000 euro at 700(exemple) WHY samsung???
      Put a very good price from the beggining, how other do and then all we are satisfied!
      End of story!
      Why do you have to decrease sales to be able to drop the price, I don't understand that?

        FredrickX, 21 Jul 2024Samsung does not have a proper IP rating, almost all foldab... more1. Samsung does not have a proper IP rating, almost all foldables have water rating but none have full dust rating, period.

        Stupid argument only to justify the no IP48 rating. IP48 rating is better than IPX rating. Period.

        2.As for the rest of the hardware, you could compare Samsung's fold 6 with Xiaomi's Mix Foldwhich promises MORE number of folds (500k) than Samsung's (200k), 

        Again. Another made up argument inside your head. Samsung never made official statement about number of fold of Z Fold6, BUT many real world test on youtube shows Samsung foldable screen can be folded more than competitor especially the chinese foldable.

        Also, Mix Fold 4 also uses inner screen made by Samsung, so it is still the quality of Samsung. Nothing to be proud of.

        3. As for the software perks you mentioned, things can change over time with updates so Samsung's advantage will fade over time, unlike their unimpressive hardware which will stay unimpressive bla bla bla...

        Another low quality argument from you.

        Any phones has fixed hardware. BUT if i were to choose between two fixed hardware phone, one with long software support, the other with short software support. I (just like most of people) would choose the former one. At least i get longer security patch and also new features for each update/upgrade. Not to mention Z Fold has desktop mode and more refined software, better RAM management etc.

          Too pricey (lack of value) , lack of innovation (inferior display)

            FredrickX, 21 Jul 2024Samsung does not have a proper IP rating, almost all foldab... more7 years os sounds good but keep in mind samsung phone values goes down in just short amount of time like s23 drops in value almost half the price from date released after a year..That's why many users could literally upgrade phones every 1-2 years they could just buy previous phone generation and wait the newest model to drop on in price...

              Anonymous, 21 Jul 2024Tell me which chinese foldables has 7 OS upgrades, desktop ... moreWhy u only talk about pros on samsung? There's no cons? Like i hav both samsung s24, xiaomi 13 and poco f6. First There's nothing in the box samsung provided except the cable and the device itself while xiaomi offers adapter and cable, factory installed screen protector and phone case. As for the oneui it doesn't have dual/clone apps feature(only social apps works), You need to pay to get good looking themes on oneui while xiaomi themes everything is free including premium themes, on my xiaomi phones theres special hardware inside where you still can freely touch and use the phone flawlessly under raind and water while on samsung phones you can't(i works as a rider delivery on bike so the feature really helped me while ride using gps and deliver goods using apps). Both devices have pros and cons it's matter of preference..

But hey, at least they promise slightly longer OS support right? XD

                    I can understand the numbers are up for the Flip6 as there are Genuine Improvements but the Fold 6 is a joke, Why dont you dare show the actual orders breakdown of the Fold 6, I bet they are no where near 40% increase; maybe 10% at best after falling 40% fall from Fold 4 to Fold 5 lol!
                    Samsung must be shxting themselves over the sales figure of the ZF6. I could have pick up a Fold 6 for half the price with all discounts and trade-in but I refused as I did for the last 3 years because they are much the same as last 3 years; nothing meaningful just chipset and minor upgrade to a single camera only 50Mp now looking like a dinosaur in the museum....very sad, same old tired sh#tty upgrade when competion have already upped their game Samsung goes in to reverse gear instead now with slower charging as an upgrade lol.
                    Say what you like, only reason to by a Fold6 is just for the software as the hardware and designs are ancient in the Foldable space; coming in a strong LAST lol in 2024!
                    WOW, a whole 0.1% wider front screen but still uncomfortable to use Skinny aspect ratio, same battery, same cameras, still no S-pen slot and thickest Foldable on the market for 2024 when all the majors release theirs, well done Samsung, keep up the great work!
                    You will soon have to pay people to upgrade if you keep this design and approach for ZF7 lol.

                      On other news, people complaining that Porsche, Mercedes and Tesla are too pricey.

                      "Porsche should be priced as similar as Wuling or Chery, because they have same four wheels." -said by unknown complainer

                          Yeah. I'd love a foldable. But not at these prices.

                            Samsung's only advantage in these foldables is their "brand" and software, and they're slowly losing that advantage too

                              Samsung is positioning itself as the biggest brand of smartphones, along with Apple. What kind of Samsung phone is not pricey?

                                Except if you prefer the new aspect ratio on Z Fold 6, there's no point to upgrade from Z Fold 4/Z Flip 4, let alone the 5th one.
