Phones can fold again just like the good ol’ days. Samsung is leading the way in this new era of foldable smartphones with both its Galaxy Z Flip series and its Galaxy Z Fold series. The smartphone manufacturer has miraculously designed a way to allow the phone screen to fold in half without affecting it’s usability when opened. And if you were skeptical when they first launched as not wanting to be an early adopter of unproven tech (understandably so), Samsung is now on its sixth generation. Now’s a great time to get in on this new model of smartphone. The Galaxy Z Fold6 is currently discounted at both Amazon and Samsung going for as low as $1,500 and with some hefty trade-in deals.
Built to Last
Yes, shockingly glass can fold and it not cause any problems to the screen. The Galaxy Z Fold6 is built tough with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is IP48 water resistant. It comes pre-intalled with a screen protector so you can fold and unfold without a problem. It’s been tested for at least 200,000 folds which equates to roughly 10 years of use. Samsung also offers a one-time discounted screen replacement in case it happens to get to that point. Even when folded up, the design still manages to be sleek, slim, and lightweight.
The battery life has an upper limit of 4,400 mAh which equates to roughly 77 hours of music listening time or 23 hours of video watch time. So you can feasibly go days without needing to recharge your phone.
Expanded Possibilities
By being a foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Fold6 manages to have a screen effectively twice the size of other popular smartphones. The wider view allows for multi-window viewing in which you can have two apps open side by side with each other. You can shop or text on one side while watching a livestream on the other. Have up to three windows open at once.
New Samsung phones are now equipped with Galaxy AI which can aid in day to day tasks. Outline or summarize notes on the fly as just one example of what it can do.
Amazon has it for the lowest price right now at just $1,500 (down 21% from $,1900). However, you have potential to save even more at Samsung. The manufacturer has it listed for the discounted price of $1,600, but through trade-ins you can put up to $1,200 in credit toward your new Galaxy Z Fold6. With any eligible trade-in, you’ll be given at least $300 in instant savings.
