So we've got the new Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 in all of the colors, and then we've also got all the accessories, or at least a bunch of accessories to go with them, including a bunch of stuff over here, the new watches, headphones, watch bands, we have the first party Samsung cases, and I also have my gold samples of all the new later cases to fit on these new Samsung devices, so there's a lot to do in this video for the very first time
0:29
Now, this is my first interaction with the device and they've continued to refine this product line
0:35
So these flat edges and this lighter package creates a device that feels closer to a non-folding device
0:42
to a typical smartphone like an S24 Ultra. I think flattening this edge out has made it so that this ridge on the inside is less perceivable to your thumb
0:54
So you just kind of forget that it's there when you're using it in its folded orientation
0:58
It also for some reason feels slimmed down in the hinge area and just the whole package feels tight and finished
1:05
Of course since it's a folding device the magic happens when you unfold it
1:10
You get this really large internal display and you'll also notice you've got your hidden camera still up in the corner
1:18
It's packing the latest Snapdragon. Actually both of these devices are whether you select for the fold or the flip
1:25
Flip's got a few more color options. This mint over here. However, if you want pink, you're looking at the fold
1:33
I've been a fold guy in the past. Pretty much every single fold device that's come out
1:39
I've used as a daily driver for an extended period of time
1:43
And I think it's going to be no different this time around. Triple camera setup, ultra wide, wide, and telephoto
1:50
And a variety of options for front-facing camera because we have the external cover camera
1:55
which is gonna be high quality like any other Samsung flagship. And then we've got the backup
2:01
of the internal under display camera, which of course lights up in functionality
2:07
once you launch the camera app or if you're doing some sort of video conferencing or something
2:12
Now, because these devices have this folding capability, it means they can do some interesting things
2:19
as far as like standing them up, probably more so on the flip than the fold
2:24
like this one if you launch into the camera. You guys have probably seen this before
2:29
but of course you have your very own built-in permanent tripod, which is useful for filming your own content
2:37
And now we've got some AI features that you're gonna notice here as Mo steps out into frame
2:42
and it notices that there's a human there. It's gonna zoom in. This, you've seen this feature before
2:47
and this is just a useful thing, so you don't have to worry when you're recording yourself
2:51
that you don't have a cameraman. So two devices, I'm curious which you guys are more compelled by
2:56
I mean, in one case, you end up with a device that's incredibly portable and sleek
3:03
And when it's unfolded state, it's just so thin. Like, look at that thing
3:08
Extremely comfortable for taking actual phone calls. You do end up with a slightly strange aspect ratio for watching video if you do a lot of that
3:18
But if you value portability and versatility, you're going to be interested in the Flip
3:23
If you want the powerhouse media consumption device with the best speakers, the biggest display, the resolution
3:31
then you might be looking at the Fold like I do. The Fold also gets a slightly larger battery, but then it's going to consume more battery life
3:37
because you're running that larger internal display. All right, let's talk a little bit about specs
3:43
These colors on the Flip 6, silver, shadow, blue, mint, and yellow
3:48
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 available on both of the devices, 256 and 512 right away for the Flip 6
3:56
You can take the Fold 6 all the way up to 1TB. Both options will feature 12GB of RAM, 4000mAh battery on the Flip 6
4:06
4400mAh battery on the Z Fold 6. 25W super fast charging on the wire for both devices
4:14
When it comes to wireless charging, it's 10 watt wireless charging, 2.0
4:19
On the Flip, you get 15 watts of wireless charging on the Fold
4:23
Both of them are capable of wireless power share. The main display on the Flip 6 is 6.7 inches, whereas the main display on the Fold, 7.6 inches
4:35
They both feature that variable refresh from 1 to 120 hertz. And as mentioned previously, you're getting higher resolution on the main display of the Fold
4:43
2160 by 1856 versus 2640 by 1080 on the Z Flip 6
4:51
They both got dynamic AMOLED 2X When we get to the cover displays I think the gap gets a little bit bigger The flex window as Samsung calls it on the Z Flip 6 is 3 inches at 60 hertz
5:03
whereas the cover display on the fold is quite a bit larger at 6.3 inches
5:09
mimicking a standard smartphone even in its folded orientation. Resolution is also a bigger gap on these external displays
5:19
720 by 748 on the flip versus 2376 by 968 on the Z Fold 6
5:28
Of course, the rear camera advantage goes to the Fold also because you're adding that third camera
5:34
the 30 times telephoto at 10 megapixel. Otherwise, you've got a 12 megapixel F22 ultra wide
5:41
and a 50 megapixel F18 wide on both of the devices. The flip didn't change in terms of weight
5:48
but it feels different. These flatter edges serve a similar purpose to what they do on the Fold
5:56
in making the device feel a little cleaner and making the gap feel more imperceptible
6:03
We have these same little ridges that attempt to lock up the device
6:08
when it's in your pocket in order to keep that internal display
6:12
free from dust, grit, sand, and so on. The Flip is incredibly comfortable to hold
6:19
In its unfolded portrait orientation, you're definitely capable of using it with only one hand
6:25
That's a little tougher to do on the Fold, only because it's thicker to begin with
6:31
considering the fact that it's folded. So you have a little bit more range to cover
6:36
And then when you've got it open, obviously this is a two-hand experience rather than one
6:41
but it's obviously going to be fantastic for media consumption. Now, when it comes to accessories
6:46
here are our first party options. We have the silicone case for the Flip 6
6:51
available in at least three colors that I've got here. So this is a two piece case without the loop
6:58
However, it has this little piece, I guess, that sorta slots through here
7:03
So it covers the backside. It's some kind of synthetic material. And it also has adhesive strips
7:13
so it stays attached to your phone. I'm not gonna use those adhesive strips right now
7:20
but essentially that's how it works. Now, for me, I've always valued the thinnest cases possible
7:28
which was of course the inspiration for the Latercase brand. And it seems to be especially important
7:34
when you're dealing with devices that are already large or heavy to begin with
7:39
You're trying to add as little as possible in order to make them as usable as possible
7:43
So we have our gold samples over here and these again use an adhesive strip
7:50
I won't apply it for the purpose of this video. And sometimes, honestly, I'll even just use the back portion
7:56
I find that if I use the back portion in a later case, it gives me a slightly bigger ridge to grip
8:03
This really depends on your preference, but of course we do have the front frame as well
8:08
offering protection in those corners, which is key because those are the vulnerable locations
8:14
when or if or hopefully you don't drop your phone. You can see when it's in its open orientation
8:20
this seam is closed up even further by the later case in this situation
8:26
So these are available right now. If you're considering ordering one of these new Samsung devices
8:33
you can pick up a later case either for the Fold or for the Flip, which we have right here as well
8:39
super thin, pretty much the thinnest case you can make with a material rigid enough to hold up
8:46
even while being this thin. And of course, don't forget you have that premium Kevlar
8:52
texture for that satisfying feel every time you take the device out
8:56
I also found in the past that going with no case, which is the thing I used to do
9:00
is especially difficult with the fold because of its density, it just seems more likely
9:06
to slide out of a pocket of a pair of shorts. However, the Latercase provides just enough grip
9:14
that that happens a lot less frequently. So you're not as nervous hopping in and out of the car
9:20
I'm sure people have had that experience before. It's of course horrible when you watch the brand new device
9:27
hit the pavement with nothing on it. So put something on it
9:31
And if you want the thinnest thing, you can check out Latercase. Alright, let's test a couple of things on the phone
9:37
So I do wanna see these cameras first and foremost. I am going to grab my trusty plant over here
9:44
Look how crowded the table is We truly have everything here The watches the straps the phones in every color Let go ahead and start with the ultra wide camera which they calling 0 boom
9:57
move up to one boom, and then all the way into the telephoto at three. We have pretty good camera
10:05
versatility here. We can grab all the way into there optically, of course, look at the detail
10:11
that is present. Let's check our brightness. Oh, we have plenty more. By the way, I'm just going to
10:16
say it right now. I'm going to switch to this phone. I have just been a fan of the Fold devices
10:20
Every iteration, I feel compelled to pick it back up. There is something that feels just so productive
10:25
about having this big internal display. It makes me more inclined to do work tasks when I unfold
10:31
this device. I'm just, I feel like I'm in a web browser that's a lot more like a laptop, particularly
10:37
if you just select for the desktop browser, which you can totally use on this device
10:42
Anyway, it also lets you inspect pixels really well because it's not just a resolution thing
10:47
it's actually also a scale thing. So let's move over to the main camera
10:51
This one looks even better. I mean, holy, you can just crop in on that one if you want
10:55
And then of course the ultra-wide, you wanna fit more into the frame. Now, there is a selfie camera here
11:01
and if I flip this around, you'll sort of see how it works. It looks maybe a little bit better
11:06
than it has in the past. This of course is an under display
11:10
It says keep that lens clean for clearer pictures. Is it gonna rival a non-underscreen front facing camera? No
11:19
Is it gonna be usable for video conferencing? Absolutely. I think that's more than capable for that purpose
11:25
But if you want the highest quality front facing camera, that of course is gonna be on the cover camera right here
11:31
So this one's gonna be a little bit better. And it also has two settings. so you can go a little bit wider to fit more into the frame
11:38
and this one is gonna give you a lot more detail and sharpness
11:42
and it's pretty obvious at this point. We've seen under display cameras, there are compromises
11:47
In this case, it really makes sense because you're not distracted by it
11:51
when you're using your consumption screen and if you really need a high quality selfie
11:56
you're probably using the external camera anyways. Now the other thing I'm curious about here
12:01
is the multimedia performance since this is going to be a multimedia powerhouse
12:07
Man, that's the part that I miss. Just typing on the split keyboard, so satisfying
12:14
It's like kind of almost reminds you of the Blackberry days, but it's even better
12:17
Look how big that keyboard is. So you can see just how blazingly bright this is
12:23
Like Mo needs to adjust his exposure to deal with it. But sometimes that's what I want, all right
12:29
Maybe not all the time, sometimes direct sunlight. Let's jump over to YouTube and see how this thing does
12:34
when it comes to media consumption. I really look at this as like the premium media consumption device
12:41
It's a tablet that's in your pocket. It's the biggest screen that you're gonna put in your pocket
12:45
I mean, that's any folding device, but primarily this one, the Fold series
12:49
is the one that I have the most exposure to. There's a subconscious thing that goes on
12:52
when you're watching something on your phone where you're like, man, I really, you know, you're irritated
12:56
You're like, I really wish I was watching this on a bigger screen. You don't get that same feeling
13:00
or at least not as quickly when you're on the internal display on the fold
13:04
That has been the case, it remains the case on the latest iteration, on the latest refinement
13:10
Speaker, same thing, like we've obviously got stereo performance there. This reminds me that I missed the fold
13:15
That's what this reminds me of. Which one are they leaving here, Will? Which one am I using
13:19
Which color do I? So the flip for me is more about versatility, maybe a little bit less about content consumption
13:35
maybe a little bit more about content creation. So in the camera mode here, I mean, minus the fact
13:41
that we're missing that one camera, but in the camera mode, we've still got two to choose from
13:46
And we have obviously our .6. We have our 1X. And these are still creating, I mean, like look at this stuff
13:53
Beautiful, usable images. Plenty of resolution to work with. Really nice display, lots of brightness here as well
14:00
But of course, the magic happens on the exterior display because there's just so few phones that can do this
14:06
So we lock right into the camera and now we have the ultimate selfie
14:11
slash I'm shooting a video of myself machine. you can see it's kinda like having a cameraman
14:16
And if I move a little bit to the side, it moves out in order to fit me into the frame
14:22
And so if Mo walks into frame, it will realize we're filming two people
14:28
Spots the side of his face, and then now there's a group in the frame
14:34
And look, it's looking for that edge in order to fit the both of us
14:38
Plus you got gestures built in so I can go ahead and lift my hand up to one photo And the other beauty here is that we able to monitor and frame up an image that will be eventually shot
14:52
by the superior external camera, whether it's an image or video. Instead of an internal selfie equivalent
15:00
we have an image that it seems like somebody else took it
15:04
because that's the quality you're getting with the exterior camera. Now I'm curious how the speakers are gonna compare
15:10
Obviously in this case, like one of the main drawbacks I would say is that the aspect ratio
15:15
for watching video is worse. You've got this sort of long display
15:20
Productivity is fine when you split it in half. You're actually in many apps
15:25
It's going to recognize that and orient things in such a fashion to utilize the fact
15:30
that you have it split in half. When it comes to just watching straight up video
15:35
it's not gonna be able to compete with the much larger internal display on the fold
15:39
But again, that's not really the point of the flip. The flip is sleek. The flip is something that you're gonna notice
15:45
a lot less in your pocket. Obviously it's a smaller overall package
15:49
and it has some of that creative versatility as far as the folding is concerned
15:52
and the ability to kind of be your AI camera man. Alright, so obviously there was a lot to cover in this video, but I do want to quickly look at some of the other items that were announced today, at least at the time that you're watching this video
16:20
There are new watches as well. Galaxy Watch 7 in a variety of colors
16:26
And then without the retail packaging, I have their new Ultra Watch
16:30
Also the rugged powerhouse version from Samsung. we have some straps and we've also got new buds we have the galaxy buds 3 and
16:41
the buds 3 pro the watch 7 is available in green either large or small however
16:48
the cream color is small only the silver large only kind of interesting got a
16:55
digital bezel and it's made out of aluminum the large size comes in at 44
17:01
millimeters the small 40 it's got an Exynos W1000 chip inside 2 gigs RAM and
17:07
32 gigs storage the battery which is capable of fast charging is 300
17:12
milliamp hours and it's got an IP68 rating for durability it'll work with
17:16
Android 8 or higher so you don't need to pair it with the Samsung device any
17:21
Android device will do the large one is 33.8 grams and the small 28.9 the watch
17:28
ultra that I think you guys are going to be interested in. It's the new product line for them. Titanium gray, titanium white, or titanium
17:36
silver. And of course, you can spec it with the bright orange watch band. Now, this one is actually
17:43
made out of grade four titanium. So welcome Samsung to the titanium party. It's also got a digital
17:50
bezel, but it packs a quick button. Same chip inside Exynos W1000, two gigs RAM, 32 gig storage
17:58
Much bigger battery here, 590 milliamp hour, still got fast charging. It's IP68 as well, and Samsung states
18:06
from 55 degrees to 20 degrees operating temperature, that's in Celsius, and it's also guaranteed
18:14
to a high altitude of 9,000 meters. It'll also run on Android 8
18:19
so you can pair it with your favorite Android device. Now let's quickly go over the specs on the new Buds
18:23
the Buds 3, available in silver or white. They feature adaptive noise cancellation and you can adjust their EQ
18:31
And you've got a bunch of other ways to interact, including force touch swiping
18:36
There's accelerometer built into the unit. They're 4.8 grams. Now, what about the Buds 3 Pro, also available in silver or white
18:45
These ones offer an enhancement to the speaker unit. These are two-way compared to the one-way single amp on the Buds 3
18:53
They've also got adaptive noise canceling. You've got ambient mode which can set itself up based on your surroundings
18:59
They're also IP57. The battery inside the earbuds is a little bit bigger at 50 mAh
19:05
You've got the same 500 mAh on the charge case. So plenty of new cool stuff from Samsung today
19:12
I'm going to ask you guys the question one more time. Out of the new devices, which one would you pick and why
19:17
And also remember, if you want to outfit it with one of the new later cases
19:21
Go check out the description for all the details on how to pick your favorite color
