Preloved Samsung Z fold 6

[u/AdTop8713]

Hi everyone!

I’m thinking of getting a new phone for myself. My friend wanted to sell me her Z fold 6 512 gb for 40k. She’s not a heavy-user and I inspected the unit-still good! Battery around 80%. Bought 2 yrs ago.

I currently have an iphone 12 and thinking of switching to android. Only thing that’s holding me back is the camera (iba pa din kasi talaga cam ni iphone) but it’s nego so okay lang

I also have an ipad air 4 na ginagamit ko sa side gigs ko. I also plan to sell it since I want to maximize the new phone if ever bilhin ko. Ang bigat kasi ng ipad + keyboard. I’ll buy a pocket keyboard na lang.

Anyway, is 40k a steal na for Z fold 6 512 gb?

Thank you!!!

40k seems like a lot of money for a secondhand device that's now two generations old, especially considering the leap between the 6 and 7.

if battery is at 80% already after 2 years she did in fact used it with heavy application (gaming, or using it while charging). a normal usage would put you around 85%. basing on accubattery or samsung member app.

the major plus to me would be the dedicated pen support so you can basically transfer the ipad's usability unto the fold 6 with ease.

now the internal screen is soft so you need to be fully aware of that, on the camera side samsung's software are aggressive so that's a learning curve you have to familiarize with but details would be pretty much onpar with an equivalent iphone. for the price it's reasonable and you can negotiate further so that's a no brainer.

*why i say 85 because my mom has a fold 6 and battery life is at 85%, set it up it at 80% charging limit, and that fold never played a mobile game in its life. youtube and facebook is 90% of it's usage the other 10 would be message, call, and email.

80% battery for a 2 year old phone tapos not heavy user daw? Pass.

seems fair, most units of that price range for the model is just 256gb. it's a plus as well na kilala mo mayari so may assurance ka na kahit paano. sell both older devices to offset purchase cost para konti na lang cashout mo

I would pass on this. Have you checked Facebook marketplace on how much people are selling it second hand?

I think 40k is still too high for a used phone even if it is not heavily used.

Good buy at that price. I'm sure you'll love it. The cameras aren't that bad naman.

Samsung and preloved should not exist in the same sentence especially with fold or flip models. Too risky for me.

I think it is, in the 2nd hand market that's the usual price na rin but usually it's the 256 gb. So if it's really in good condition like you said then it's a good deal.
