Folding phones are on their way back, which you already know if you follow the scene closely. However, even those loosely adjacent to phones might start picking up foldables again if the rumored Apple foldable iPad and iPhone hit the shelves eventually. The problem, though, is that they won’t be here for another year or two.

There’s a silver lining, though, and that is that you can get our second favorite folding phone at a discounted price today. Unlocked Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6s at the 512GB level are down to $1,720 from the usual $2,020. And that’s before you apply the up to $1,000 in trade-in credit you can get if you trade in your current phone. All together, this is a great way to get a folding phone now and have at least a couple of years of fun with it before Apple’s phones arrive. Tap the button below to check out the phone and deal, then keep reading to see our experiences with the phone, why it ranks number two on our list, and if this deal can take it to the top spot.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6

There’s a lot to cover, so let’s jump straight into our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 review. One of the biggest points the review makes about this phone is how a ton of subtle changes add up to make big differences that you can’t necessarily see on a stat sheet alone. Sure, it has a 120Hz screen, that’s nothing other phones don’t have, but it also has a well-engineered weight balance that makes it comfortable to hold unfolded in one hand. In other words, this phone exceeds at the subtle changes. Another thing the review points out is the IP48 dust and water resistance of the phone. This might seem unimportant when you compare it to non-folders, as even my Pixel 8 Pro has a nearly impervious IP68 rating, but when you compare it to the Pixel Fold’s IPX8 you can start to see that dust resistance does come at a premium with folding phones.

Next, know that this is our “runner-up” phone in our list of the best folding phones. It’s only “losing” to Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold. But losing is used loosely here. When we compare the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 6 directly, however, there’s a different story told. Both phones are considered a great purchase by staff that have experience with both and our recommendation is to “go for whichever feels the best in your hand.” With just a few hundred dollar off, the balance easily tilts in the Samsung Z Fold 6’s favor.

With this in mind, now is the time to get the Samsung Z Fold 6. It’s base price at Samsung is $1,720, which is $300 less than the usual $2,020, and you can save up to $1,000 more with an applicable trade-in. All you need to do is tap the button below to start making this phone yours.

Those murmurs of a $300 price hike for the iPhone 18 Pro series look increasingly likely
Memory costs, a new 2nm chip, and a margin squeeze Apple can't fully offset.

A third independent supply chain analysis is now pointing in the same direction as the previous two: the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be more expensive at launch. In addition, Apple might have to settle for a slightly thinner margin on the device than it usually charges for other products. 

Counterpoint Research's bill-of-materials estimate for the 12GB plus 1TB iPhone 18 Pro Max shows a cost rise of nearly $300 compared to the same configuration in the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Google’s own Photos app just gave Android users another reason to envy iPhone
A Google Photos redesign that arrived on iOS months ago is now rolling out to Android through version 7.82.
Google Photos AI

Google Photos on Android is finally getting the cleaner bottom navigation bar iPhone users have had since February. That’s a strange thing to say about a Google app on Google’s own mobile platform, but here we are.

The update replaces the old docked bar with a floating pill that sits above the bottom edge of the screen. It no longer covers the photos underneath, and it puts Gemini-powered Ask Photos beside the main navigation.
