While the new Galaxy Z Fold 7 is our top pick for the overall best foldable phone this year, that doesn’t take away from the older Galaxy Z Fold 6. This phone is still an excellent option for many users as it has plenty of great features. Since it’s not the latest from Samsung, it’s also a bit more affordable. That also means that it’s getting harder to find it in stock. Lucky for you, not only were we able to find it at multiple places, but we found some great discounts on it, too.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a 7.6-inch AMOLED main screen and a 6.3-inch AMOLED cover screen. It has an upgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip that offers super-fast processing. This device has a 10-megapixel cover camera, a 4-megapixel under-display camera and a rear triple-camera setup with a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, a 50-megapixel wide-angle camera and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera that matches what we saw in the previous generation.

As for storage, you can choose from 256GB, 512GB or 1TB, and each model comes with 12GB of RAM and the latest version of the company’s software: One UI 6. According to Samsung, you should get the 4,400-mAh battery up to a 50% charge in about half an hour with wired charging.
It performed well in our battery drain test. After we’d streamed a YouTube video for 3 hours at full brightness on the main 7.6-inch screen, the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s battery had dropped to 82%, not much less than the non-folding Galaxy S24, and better than other folding phones.
