Weekly poll results: the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 are too pricey | Infinium-tech

Samsung’s latest foldables were criticised in last week’s survey – the two main points being price and hardware. Samsung is not seen as a leader in the foldable market, not in terms of offering cutting-edge technology. According to commentators, both the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Z Fold6 feel more like iterative improvements over previous models than a new generation.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 is too expensive and 45% of voters nod at its price. As for the hardware, in our review, we found that charging is somehow even slower than the already slow charging on the Z Fold5. And that the camera hasn’t changed in three generations.

The new display aspect ratio is good, as is the IP48 rating, but the competition is catching up fast. Interestingly, the Z Fold6 is slightly more popular among existing owners than first-time foldable phone buyers.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is also very expensive, although only 36% of voters chose it, so this isn’t a big problem. Some people are waiting for reviews to decide and our review will be coming soon.

The much-anticipated camera improvements will be tested – can the 50MP main camera make up for the lack of a tele lens – but some things are already clear. For example, the lack of DeX support diminishes the Z Flip6’s potential as a replacement for owners of vanilla Galaxy S phones.

While the Z Fold6’s rivals are still hiding behind a “coming soon” sign, some of the Z Flip6’s competitors have already arrived – and the Moto Razr 50 Ultra/razr+ 2024 is cheaper. Unlike its siblings, the Z Flip6 is appealing more to first-time buyers than existing users of foldable phones.

Pre-orders in India indicate that the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Z Fold6 are more popular than their predecessors (pre-orders have increased by 40%). We will see how other markets respond to the new foldables as well. Samsung is aiming for a modest 10% increase in sales over the Z Flip5/Z Fold5 generation and it is betting on class-leading software support and AI features to achieve this goal.
