Fold 6 > Fold 7

Who else held off and likes the features that the Fold 6 has over the Fold 7?

I was going to hold off until I went to best buy to play with the Fold 7 ...

Reason I decided to hold off was the S-Pen, pretty easy decision. But come next week we will find out if some of those AI goodies that Samsung introduced for ZF7 will come to the ZF6 in the One UI 8 beta.

Spen is the reason to hold on to Fold 6. I expected Spen support in cover screen too along with main screen. It is very disappointing. Also, battery size is very disappointing.

Only thing I miss on the fold 6 is the UDC. Flossy even called Samsung out for getting rid of the UDC, and it love the way he called out. Some of you probably got hurt feelings on it., bit the truth hurts sometimes.

Samsung needs to bring the spen and UDC back.

F7 all the way and I'm sure they'll bring back the S-Pen as for the UDC it still needs to be better quality than the last one

When did he call out Samsung for the S-Pen and UDC? I couldn't get through that whole review... lol, most of the video was positivity speaking on Samsung since he enjoyed the outer (cover) display and thin & light device.

But you got some people out there that prefers the hole punch because they get better quality out of the camera. Personally, I rather Samsung remove the camera all together... we have a outer display front facing camera and then there's the main camera array.

Inner camera is needed for work video calls. I don't mind UDC or not. Camera with that screen real estate to look at shared content during video calls is a game changer for the on the go calls.

But you have the outer display camera for video calls... use it in a 45 degree angle on a desk, no hands or stand required and you are good to go!

What content are you sharing that requires the use of the bigger inner screen while on a video call?

 

[Bkdodger1]

I agree that you could turn the phone over but at the end of the day if you're going to make some kind of UDC it's quality needs to be much better than that first version which you might as well had nothing

Content can be ppt, docs, or network diagrams. Also, questions are asked at the same time on integrated chat. The outer screen doesn't work. Again, this helps a lot on the go where you don't take out laptop for everything. The main idea of Fold is to be a tablet when needed. Isn't it?

Not me, I immediately went for the slimmer phone.

I agree it's a tablet... I understand the whole convenience factor of not taking the laptop out.

But realistically... how many are doing a video call while viewing a shared file on a 8 inch screen? If more people are doing that, (book-style) foldable adoption should be way up lol.

I think most people in that scenario... will stop to take the laptop out to give a proper look at whatever being discussed.

I am not saying everyone uses it like i said. But for me, the camera on the inner screen is important. Adoption doesn't always depend on usability. A lot of people i know don't know most of the features or functionality, but they want the latest and greatest in their repertoire. Just wait until Apple releases Fold and see how i goes crazy.

I'm ok with a camera on inner screen, I think the UDC was a good compromise, you have the other cameras for high quality pics.
