Entering my Galaxy Z Fold6 era.
In a fast-paced environment, it’s easy to get caught up in your daily tasks. As a Digital Director, I’m always on the move. Whether I’m travelling for work or attending meetings, the one thing I always have with me is my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6. You might be wondering how this latest gadget can make a difference in my daily routine.
Well, you’re about to find out.
How I navigate with the latest Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6
A minimal companion
At first glance, the slender device surprised me. Not only does it feel lighter in my hand, but its 0.48-inch thickness, when folded, makes it comfortable to carry around and store in my pocket. I appreciate the new angular-shaped design, which gives it a sharper and sleeker look. Coming from someone who’s constantly holding on to her phone, the flatter edges make it so easy to grip.
Working on the go made easy
The one thing I appreciate the most is its lighter weight (239g) and slimmer design compared to the Galaxy Z Fold5. Additionally, its wider screen makes editing articles and working on the go a seamless experience, no matter where I am. With its 7.6-inch screen, typing on the Z Fold6 took me by surprise at how comfortable it was to type when using the phone both in its opened and unfolded position.
When unfolded, the large screen provides optimal results with its incredible features like the Circle to Search. All I have to do is long press on the Home key and tap or circle a particular object, which will help me identify what I need to know. In this case, it helps me research the key fashion trends during fashion week. Plus, in my line of work, frequent travelling is on my agenda, which makes my adventures abroad so easy with the instant translation function on the screen.
Thanks to the Instant Translation tool, navigation was easy when taking the train, googling for restaurants and getting my way around Tokyo. Safe to say, I won’t be getting lost in Japan anymore.
Screen time
Now, I may not be a colossal game fanatic, but fortunately, my husband is, and he was very impressed with how satisfiying it was to play his games on the go. With the massive 7.6-inch screen, it offers a more visible experience with a more powerful ray-tracing performance. And, of course, a worry that concerns every game fanatic is the possibility of it overheating. Thankfully, the Galaxy Z Fold6 prominently features a faster and broader heat transfer, including a vapour chamber of 1.6x more compared to the Z Fold5. So you won’t have to worry about your gadget overheating.
If you’re one of those – like me – who enjoys the liberty of watching your favourite series and working at the same time, then you’ll enjoy the multitasking mode. The foldable screen provides space to watch the latest season of ‘Emily in Paris’ as I navigate my day by responding to my emails, thanks to the split screen.
Even better, it’s beneficial when I’m travelling, particularly when I’m researching the best cafes to visit while navigating Google Maps without having to switch between apps.
Snap away
The Galaxy Z Fold6 features a 50-megapixel camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera. While these may be useful when filming content for work, I particularly enjoyed bringing this gadget with me to work events, especially when photographing in outdoor and indoor venues. The best part? The Nightography function allows me to take pictures in low-lighting. As a concert-goer like myself, I particularly love this function especially when it’s in an indoor setting. It just enhances my experience ten times better.
Battery life and performance
Running at 4,400mAh, the Galaxy Z Fold6 can last me for a full day without a second charge. But it depends on how often you use your phone in a day. As for me, when I’m just in the office, my battery life can last up to roughly 14 hours. However, on days when I’m travelling and am constantly grabbing my phone for content or using it unfolded, the battery level can last for up to 12 hours of usage. Keep in mind that this depends on every user.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 has revolutionised my lifestyle. Its sleek design, enhanced productivity features, impressive camera capabilities, and reliable battery life have seamlessly integrated into my daily routine, allowing me to work, stay entertained, and capture moments with ease. With its powerful performance and versatility, the Galaxy Z Fold6 has undeniably become an invaluable companion that has elevated my productivity and overall smartphone experience.
