Is the Galaxy Z Fold6 worth it over a regular flagship phone?

If you use two apps side by side or read a lot on your phone, the inner screen earns its keep. If camera quality and battery life matter most, a slab flagship is a better fit.

How does it compare with the Galaxy Z Fold5?

The Fold6 is slimmer and lighter, has a brighter screen and a stronger frame. The camera hardware is largely carried over, so the upgrade matters most for design and durability.

Does it come with an S Pen?

No. The S Pen is sold separately, and the phone has no slot for it, so you need a case with a holder to carry one.

Is it unlocked and usable on any carrier?

Yes. It is sold unlocked, so it works with most major carriers. Check that your carrier supports the bands the phone uses.

How much storage does this model have?

This version has 256GB of internal storage. There is no microSD slot, so pick your capacity at purchase.

Is it water resistant?

It has an IP48 rating, which means it resists splashes and dust but is not designed to be submerged.

Our take on the Galaxy Z Fold6 256GB Navy

The Galaxy Z Fold6 is Samsung's book-style foldable phone. It opens into a tablet-sized screen for split-screen work and closes into a narrow, pocketable slab. It is aimed at multitaskers and power users who want a phone and a small tablet in one. Against rivals like the OnePlus Open and Google Pixel Fold, it has the most polished software and the longest update promise, but it is heavier and its cameras trail the best conventional flagships.
