Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 6 is a perfectly fine foldable, but from the brand that started the whole category, is that still enough?

    I’m looking at the line up of foldables and wondering

    1. do I even really need one? I kinda want one, they look cool, but is it really that much better than a normal phone?

    2. should I even consider the Galaxy when the Honor V3 looks like it’s comparable specs with better battery and a thousand dollars cheaper?

    Tho the latter requires figuring it how to get and use one in the US.

      generally speaking, id imagine youre a person why often watches content on a ipad mini/small ipad, its neat to have all the screen space in your pocket. if you arent that kind of user then there really isnt a purpose for it.

      Here in Australia the Honor V2 (older version, V3 just announced) is $200 less then the just announced Z Fold 6, then there are discounts and trade in to reduce the Fold 6’s RRP

      I don’t know how much the Honor V3 will be.

      I have found my Fold most useful for work stuff. I can view and edit word and excel documents with plenty of space to see everything. I can do it anywhere when I have some free moments without lugging around another device. For casual stuff like Lemmy and web surfing it’s just really nice to read more with less scrolling.
