Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 in for review

Fresh off its announcement this week, we have the Galaxy Z Fold6 in for review.

At this point it will hardly surprise anybody that the phone ships with nothing more than a SIM tool and a USB cable. Perhaps it is more unexpected that it still ships with anything at all.

The biggest visual change to the Galaxy Z Fold6 is its more squared-off, flatter profile. It's smart-looking and easy to tell apart. We like the new bigger camera rings, even if the cameras inside are unchanged (and frankly unimpressive).

While on the topic of unchanged - the battery is the same 4,400mAh unit and sadder still, it charges at a feeble 25 watts. Come on, Samsung, it's time to speed things up!

Samsung tweaked the aspect ratios of both displays a bit. It may not seem noticeable on paper but put the new Fold next to the Galaxy Z Fold5 and you'll see a difference. The Galaxy Z Fold6 is a little bit more usable and we welcome it.

The same thing is true of the inner display and both are brighter than before - another welcome improvement. Naturally, the Galaxy Z Fold6 packs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, bringing some zippier performance and more efficiency.

The Galaxy Z Fold6 and the Galaxy Z Fold5

The Galaxy Z Fold6 is a bit more expensive than its predecessor, which has meanwhile undergone several price cuts. It may be a good idea to buy the old one, then again you should probably wait for our review. Stay tuned!
