I was worried when I first saw the spec sheet for the Fold6 that it appeared to be a fairly minor update over last year’s Fold5.
There are slight design tweaks, including an IP dust rating for the first time, plus the annual processor update and… that’s about it.
Cameras are the same. Battery capacity is the same. Storage and RAM are the same.
Instead of focusing on hardware improvements this year, Samsung has gone hard on its AI functionality. And while there are some truly phenomenal innovations in this space, the vast majority of AI use cases on the phone are pure, unadulterated garbage.
Which makes the price increase Samsung introduced for the Fold6 much, much harder to swallow.
