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!

Exactly, the updates after OneUi 5 don't really matter. The phones' bugs were mostly ironed out and the stutters have mostly gone so it's just updates for the sake of updates now. ik the S22 series wasn't good, I just wanted ...
