Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 hands-on: These key upgrades put it above the OnePlus Open for me


Do a more polished design and fancy AI features justify a price bump on the most expensive phone on the market? I found out.

Kerry Wan/ZDNETIt's hard to believe the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series is now six years old, but an afternoon spent with the shape-shifting smartphone made clear to me just how far the South Korean giant has come -- and how much more work is needed to reach the promised land of mainstream acceptance. By finger or the optional S Pen, it's much easier to circle over text and images to run a Google Search, see note summaries and transcriptions while playing audio on the side, and more. The Z Fold can also modify the camera's auto-mode settings based on the subjects and context in the frame, which feels like a helpful way to make photos and videos look better without you having to fiddle with filters or retouches.
