I upgraded from the Samsung Fold 3 to the Samsung Fold 6. There are some noticeable differences. Fold 6. Definitely longer lasting battery. I had it without a case for a few days. Being accustomed to the Samsung Fold 3, it felt do tiny in my Hands. Sleek look however and lighter . If you don't look carefully without a the case, you don't know if it's a folded phone or not. Camera is good . It not Ameer · Samsung
