so a lot of people talk about Samsung
saying they don't innovate and every
phone is the same year over year
especially when it comes to the Z fold
lineup so I thought it'd be interesting
to compare the zold 4 to the zold 6 now
I used the zold 6 for around 2 weeks so
far but I also just switched back to the
zold 4 it took a lot of time and a lot
of effort doing all the updates but I
was able to use it as my daily phone now
visually speaking both phones have
similar design
they both have screen sizes that are
pretty close in size but what Samsung
was able to do the last 2 years was to
shrink the actual size of most of the
device while giving you a larger screen
and thanks to the smaller bezels that
are actually around the device where the
zold 6 does get bigger is in its width
it's just a little bit bigger but that
helps when it comes to using the phone
when the screen is closed the cover
display is much more usable and it's
almost more than double the bright Ness
and the white balance is also better the
zold 4 has kind of a yellow tinch to it
when you compare them side by side
overall it is a huge difference when
using the cover display dayto day the
hinge is also something that Samsung put
a lot of time and resources into and it
does show the zold 4 does not sit flush
and there's a pretty sizable Gap there's
not a way to fully protect the device
since the screen is always exposed but
but as far as protection it is only ipx8
water resistance with no dust resistance
I wouldn't say this phone wasn't built
well but the hinge was a spot that could
be a failure point and looking back at
it it does look a little bit weird with
this pretty large gap here the zold 6
has a completely redesigned hinge even
from the five which allows the phone to
sit flush and it gives you higher water
protection at IP 48 but still no dust
protection we also have strong aluminum
and a new tougher Gorilla Glass and
overall just a stronger phone than the
zold 4 and since the hinge sits flush it
does feel better when there isn't like
any sloping when it's sitting in your
hand cuz right now when you're holding
the zold 4 it does have a little slope
and you can definitely feel that when
you're comparing the two phones so to
recap we have stronger materials flatter
design smaller bezels better screen so
yeah I'll say a lot has changed on the
build I guess it's time to open both of
these phones up and see what's changed
in 2 years on the main display now both
phones have a 7.3 in AMOLED display and
since we do have smaller bezels the
screen to body ratio is actually a bit
higher on the zold 6 that's very very
minimal now the zold 4 was more rounded
in the bezels where the zold 5 is
tapered off in very squared we have the
same resolution the same 120 HZ touch
response but we do have more than double
the peak brightness on the six we once
again have a better white balance where
the zold 4 still has that same yellow
tinge that we saw on the cover display
so overall the Z6 has improved the
design also the displays and since these
new materials are actually a little bit
lighter it did bring the weight down too
which is pretty neat so what about specs
you know the zold 4 came with the
Snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 and the six came
with the Gen 3 yeah yeah it's a faster
chip but you know there isn't a World's
difference between the two you have 256
GB of storage with 12 GB of RAM and it
also goes up to 1 tbte in total storage
with both devices the zold 6 does have
faster ufs 4.0 storage which does help
with browsing for files or even
launching apps that needs access to
files local to the device so specs have
not changed dramatically year-over-year
but there wasn't anything in the tech
space to really make that next leap so
so it makes sense of kind of where it's
at spec-wise but when it comes to
Performance day-to-day there isn't
really a major difference you know
launching the same app side by side you
have the same experience I can run three
apps at once on both devices without any
issues or any type of lag one thing I
did was I picked up my four instead of
the six on accident and I honestly
forgot I was on the four I didn't
realize that until I was looking for an
app that I didn't have on the FL I would
say where you see better performance
will be some of the high-end games where
I feel they do run a little bit better
on the zold 6 it could take some effort
to see but if you launch some of these
you know really high-end games you can
definitely see that the six is just a
little bit more responsive and also the
game just launches faster too okay let's
roll over to cameras this is one area
that seems to have the most Improvement
year-over-year for most phones now both
phones pack five cameras and shockingly
enough the specs are actually the same
on paper the past few years so let's run
through some of the camera tests to see
if there was any adjustments behind the
scenes software-wise that actually
matters let's run through some of these
images I took recently are you seeing
anything here how about when we punch
into the grass there is one that has
more details and also looking at the sky
one looks more accurate even this image
which I think looks good on both cameras
but sending these images to a few people
everyone for a different reason picked
the image on the left what about night
shots one is obviously brighter and I
think this looks better as well so
camera a is the zold 4 I couldn't
believe it myself but I double checked
the files and yeah zold 4 has a better
steel image in most scenarios which is
absolutely insane to think about this
couldn't be the case for video right
this is the front-facing camera on the
Galaxy z44 let me know which what you
think let me know how it looks and let
me know how it sounds and this is the
front-facing camera on the Galaxy z46
same thing let me know how it looks let
me know how it sounds now this is the
under display camera this is a camera I
don't use a lot but I didn't want to
actually bring it up to see if there's a
difference between the two under display
camera video on the Z4 this is the under
display camera on the zold 6 in the
exact same spot um like I said I don't
use this much maybe if I'm doing like a
zoom call and I want to have my large
screen in front of me but beyond that
that I don't really use it but of course
let me know what you guys think rear
facing camera on the Galaxy zold 4 uh
when I look at it it looks actually very
similar to the six but I wonder once I
get on the computer if it looks any
eating better and also the microphones
has the microphones gotten any better I
don't know let me know what you guys
think in the comments this is Galaxy
zold 6 RAR facing camera I really love
the cover display on these phones
because you can actually use the best
possible camera while still holding the
phone it's really nice but of course you
guys got to let me know what do you
think
actually they're pretty close when you
look at them side by side but as far as
color the zold 4 does look better to me
there's also more detail in the video
when looking at grass and other small
details across many different
areas I will say the audio is better on
the zold 6 and then also the under
display camera is better on the zold 6
but that's about it I really can't
discuss battery life because one battery
is 2 years old and one is is brand new
but they have the same battery size
charging speeds for wireless and reverse
wireless charging too you know I would
assume a brand new zold 4 would have the
same battery life as a 6 but there's
really no way to confirm in 2024 with
that being said for me I feel like the
zold has gotten better but what's better
is the build and not truly the
functionality the fold 6 does ship with
Galaxy Ai and there's a lot of stuff on
the AI front and I can spend a lot of
time on this video really talking about
all the AI stuff and you know it's
really up to you but the zold 4 actually
should be getting that as well a little
bit later this year so I think that is
kind of a wash as well so I truly feel
if you buy a zold 4 which you can get
for around $500 you get around 80% of
what you get on the Z fold 6 and
honestly you can't go wrong doing that
but I also have another phone that I
think Compares even better and that's
the OnePlus open I did that comparison
just recently so click right here here
