What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is Samsung's most refined Fold to that point, with a better-feeling design, excellent screens, a less noticeable crease and unrivalled multitasking software. The common complaints are cameras carried over for a third generation, slow charging and a higher price; GSMArena also found it not meaningfully better than the Fold5 and the cover screen still narrow.
