hey everyone Tim scoffield here and I'm here in Paris where Samsung just announced a ton of different products and we have just about all of them including a couple new phones and even their brand new Galaxy watch Ultra their first one ever but anyways in this video we're going to take a look at the Galaxy Z fold 6 those other videos are coming soon so be sure to click that subscribe button so you're notified when they go live now the Galaxy zold 6 is up for pre-order now now Samsung has a ton of different op offers on their website to save you a lot of money even over $1,200 and if you pre-order through any of the links I link in the video description you get an extra $100 off your pre-order so be sure to click through that link if you want that extra $100 anyways let's dive into it this is Samsung's thinnest and lightest fold device they've come out with yet we're going to take a quick look what comes in the box of the zold 6 and then of course get some hands on with this new phone let's get started and here it is the G Galaxy Z fold 6 from Samsung opening up the box looks like we have a Verizon sim setting our phone to the side building some suspense because there's a box underneath here inside there looks like we've got our Sim ejection tool a getting started guide and a USBC it's a USBC cable for charging and that is everything that came in the Box this is the Silver Shadow color however there's a lot lot of other great color options and some samsung.com exclusives they look really good that was a close one but let's open up the phone taking it out of the box here and there is just a little screen cover we're going to take that off and that is it here we go our brand new phone looks like there is another uh screen here let's peel this off all right now I'm going to boot up our galaxy Z fold 6 for the first time and while it turns on let's take a closer look at this updated Hardware first of all I am noticing how much lighter this phone actually is that is a great addition uh it is noticeably lighter anyways down at the bottom is where we've got our microphone USB type-c port that bottom left is one of our speakers uh moving along you will see very flat sides you've got your power button with that embedded fingerprint scanner our volume rockers this is I believe our Ultra wideband antenna and then on the left side here is where your SIM card slot is make note there is a camera bump it's nothing too crazy but there is one and then up towards the top we've got more microphones and our other speaker as well and then finally just a closer look at that back hinge it does have a Samsung logo now let's actually fold this open so you can see the mech mechanism it does uh clasp completely flat with the screen and the back to screen and again this is their thinnest and lightest foldable yet uh definitely uh noticeably thinner also I really like how there's no Gap here uh just better for that dust resistance so dust can't really get in there very sleek and minimal back I do really like it with their signature triple camera setup now you get a 50 megapixel wide angle lens a 12 megap Ultra wide angle lens and then a 10 megapixel telephoto camera which will zoom up to three times optically you're going to want to protect your new premium and expensive phone and this brings us to our sponsor span I actually had a spean case on my first Android phone and I've used their cases for years their Slim Armor Pro was the OG hinge protection case the first ever for any Galaxy fold at the time and they've only gotten better they're semi Auto sliding teex really impressive I have no issues opening and closing the phone and have peace of mind in case I accidentally drop my fold my go-to case for the zold 6 is going to be the span Tough Armor Pro P this case offers the protection you're looking for while adding a hidden Silo inside the hinge to store your S Pen so useful of note span offers easy fit screen protectors and even their easy fit optic Pro to protect your camera C lenses which I can recommend and they are so simple to install they also offer protection for your Galaxy wearables there's some really cool cases for the Galaxy buds 3 Pro which you can see I love the style of that Urban fit case and span already has me covered for the watch 7 Ultra that video is coming soon if you purchase two or more unpack related span products you get 15% off when use the promo code QB King 777 the link will be in the description now we are all set up and ready to go I'm going to run through the boot up process talk about anything that's noteworthy fingerprint scanner built into that power button I do believe you can set it to skip the lock screen when you set your thumb down I do like the subtle vibration haptic feedback that you get uh the vibration motor does feel very premium as expected continuing through there we go you can add more if you'd like so this is what I'm talking about fingerprint o always on with the cover screen the main screen or both just by touching that side button and a big one Galaxy AI is built into the fold six you get a ton of features including interpreter scrolling down photo assist drawing assist Health assist as well and just a few notes about taking care of your phone there is a pre-installed screen protector do not peel that off but Samsung does offer one free replacement of that screen protector plus a onetime $200 fee to replace the screen internal screen itself so definitely nice of Samsung to actually set that up and we are all set up and ready to go here is the home screen of our galaxy zold 6 and while opening and closing our fold I have to say the hinge does feel extremely premium Samsung has really refined their hinge over time in terms of the crease you can still see it slightly seems to get slightly better every year and you can feel it but it's very subtle and when you do have content on the screen it's really hard to see but hopefully going forward maybe in a future generation they can eliminate it completely a close look at that 6.3 in AMOLED display up front at 120 HZ refresh rate this is a 22.1 to9 aspect ratio so a little bit taller than you would see on some other phones and then let's open up to that internal screen real quick I went to change the wallpaper and notice there's a couple AI wallpaper features including photo ambient so it'll take your own photo and AI will change it based on the time and the weather so that's a really neat feature that'll be fun to try out and then generative which uh you can create on your own if you wanted to select something like mineral it will be a text prompt and you can actually customize those words so if I wanted to say instead of cool warm Hues and then hit generate and there we go so there's a close-up image of Gina with warm Hues so this is a 7.6 in Dynamic AMOLED display it goes from 1 to 120 HZ refresh rate also a 20.9 to 18 aspect ratio when it's completely opened up now what I want to do is dive into settings and go into display and I can already tell the refresh rate is higher just based on how smooth everything looks if I go into motion smoothness there it is it's on adaptive you can bump it down to standard 60 HZ if you want to save some battery life also a really big setting continue apps on cover screen that is a huge one so we're going to just do a quick test with the calculator app and when I go into it here we go if we wanted to do a quick calculation there we go but if I close the phone it's not going to close that app it's actually going to continue it on this front screen really useful especially if I'm maybe texting and want to quickly uh just type something on the front screen and then put it in my pocket I can do so and by the way this internal display gets up to 2600 nits of brightness so their brightest internal screen yet anyways real quick Let's test out that fingerprint scanner I did not turn it I have to actually press the button so if we go to the lock screen set our thumb down seems to be very quick and accurate in terms of some other specs the Snapdragon 8 gen 3 processor and a 1.6 times larger Vapor chamber cooling system and Samsung even gave me a cool inside look at that Vapor chamber cooler you also have an IP 48 water resistance rating now let's go into the camera app for the first time and just snap a few quick pictures test out that shutter speed actually seems to be really quick now we can go to that 6X Zoom which is the ultra wide and you get a lot more in your shot I do like this capture view by the way where you can see a quick preview of the pictures and the right side that image preview is still really large and again 3x Zoom which is uh telephoto or I'm sorry not telephoto optical zoom not digital Zoom uh and that's all you get anything more but if you want to zoom all the way up you can zoom all the way up to 30X Zoom if you'd like to you may or may not have seen it but there is a 4 megapixel underd display camera right there it's really hard to tell I'm happy they use it because you rarely need to use this camera honestly and if I want to take a picture here you go cover screen preview is on so now when I take a picture of someone they can actually see themselves make sure it's framed correctly or of course swipe to use camera if I want to actually take a selfie with those main camera lenses I can do that with ease oh I really like this thing above me on the ceiling it's kind of a cool light you do also have all your usual features like a portrait mode video you can shoot all the way up to 4K or I'm sorry 8K 30 frames per second or 4K 60 frames per second going into more is where all Samsung's useful features are the pr mode pro video even love that that's included a night mode food expert raw as well looks like you have to download that I'll get that downloaded perfect segue into some of those AI features so pressing the AI icon there there's a group of different options you can resize and move and then it will generate an autofill where you move it from you could transform your pictures and draw an image and AI will make the drawing look like part of the picture so let's try sketch to image now what I'm going to do is maybe draw like a parrot on my shoulder so if I do a head a body and a couple legs and hit generate let's see if that actually happens obviously that drawing was terrible so just kind of keep that in mind oh okay just a little guy just a little friend hanging out of my shoulder you know that kind of makes sense I didn't I used white color it was just such a simple drawing but that's you know pretty interesting and uh a little better than I was expecting you do of course still get Circle to search so press and hold the home button or the Bottom bar if you're using the gestures oops I accidentally pressed one of these nice little shortcuts down at the bottom but if you press and hold that home button Circle something and it will do a quick search of exactly the text image whatever it was that you searched quickly jumping back into settings scrolling down lock screen and always on display so nice that always on display is included and a few other options including roaming clock which I love that Samsung has let's see if it's actually enabled here yeah it is um it doesn't know where my home is set obviously it thinks my home is in Paris France but generally when I travel it will automatically put Chicago and wherever I'm at it's super useful and also under Advanced features is where you're going to find your Labs multi- window Flex mode panel so when you use the phone sitting up all the different apps that have features and can control that also going into Labs I really do like multi- window for all apps make sure to turn that on and check it out Spen unfortunately not included with the phone but I did get some hands on with the S Pen and I will hopefully be picking one up very soon because I do love to use the S Pen on this very large screen anyways that is everything from me for now on the Galaxy Z fold 6 drop any questions you do have I will have another video coming up in about a week with some more Impressions on this Flagship foldable phone from Samsung so be sure to subscribe be sure to give this video a thumbs up and as always thanks for watching
