There is no difference there are many differences, but you must focus on the subject first of all the shape and materials used on the phone secondly the line that in the center of the screen became invisible from the previous and of course there are features, but I did not delve into this phone and the subject of the pen should not add a place to it do not forget you enjoy me 3 screens and not one screen, so there is no place for the pen and the pen is not mandatory if you want a pen to buy a pen because Samsung does not force you me the pen because it is not like the phone s24ultra there is a big difference between them I do not frustrate you, but do not forget that you enjoy me 3 screens

Thanks for your comment. I appreciate your enthusiasm about the three screens, but there are several important issues that need to be addressed. Firstly, the crease in the middle of the screen is still there and can be annoying, especially when using the S-Pen. While the use of titanium and other materials is a great welcome, they aren't that important to me because you still have to slap a cover on the phone. Additionally, the IP48 rating is a step in the right direction, but it's still not properly dustproof, and I hope it becomes IP68 one day.

The lack of a dedicated space for the S-Pen and the need to purchase it separately are significant drawbacks (especially at this expensive price). Moreover, the camera quality hasn't been upgraded to match the S24 Ultra's 200MP camera, which is a major deal breaker for me. The unchanged front-facing camera quality is another issue; it looks like a VGA camera and isn't suitable for video calls or recording. These factors outweigh the benefit of having three screens. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

The stylus is incorporated in the case, if its about practicality. Regarding the camera i might agree with you that it's less than the s24 ultra but in no way is it inferior to other android devices, it has very high AI computing ability that pics are comparable.
The front facing camera is hidden for a clean design bezel but of course this comes at a slight cost of quality, which is easily avoided by using the back camera's while flipping the screen.

Thanks for your input! While incorporating the stylus into the case is a workaround, it's not the same as having a dedicated slot within the phone itself, which would be more convenient and secure. This is a design flaw in my opinion. Regarding the camera, I agree that the AI enhancements are impressive, but the hardware still doesn't match up to the S24 Ultra, and that's a major consideration for me. The front-facing camera being hidden for design purposes significantly compromises quality (it looks like a VGA camera for crying out loud), and while using the back cameras by flipping the screen is an option, it’s not always convenient. These are the key reasons why the Galaxy Fold 6 still doesn't fully meet my needs, especially coming from the S24 Ultra! Thanks for sharing your perspective.

I would argue that folding phones - despite being 6 generations in - are still in "early adopter" stages and have niche users who actually benefit from the advantages of a larger screen on a smaller phone and who will likely overlook the (genuinely legit) issues you've mentioned in favour of the benefits it brings them.

Sadly, the world is not ruled by power users, and most people I know buy them because they want to look cool with the latest device.

Well said. However, I genuinely value the reading experience on foldable phones, as well as watching movies and annotating. I have come to the realization that the screens of the Galaxy S24 Ultra and other S series phones are too small to effectively utilize the S Pen. That's why I wanted the best of both worlds: The cameras of the S24 Ultra and the screens of the Fold.

Overall I find Fold series to be suitable for early adopters.
I find Flip more practical to use.

But for me nothing like S Ultra series which has features which most users want - great screen, camera, battery life, s pen built in.

For people who need more reading, watching videos or multi tasking , Fold is great.
