Samsung Launches New Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 Smartphones, Earbuds, and More

Foldables are nice and all, but a complete no-go unless they figure out their durability issues. My Brother's wife has already gone through 3 Z-Flips and she's only been using them for maybe 2 years.
My Ultra 2 has died in a less than 8 hours for me on a long 14-mile hike in winter/blizzard conditions (at 13k ft. elevation) (conditions Apple says the watch is rated for), with LTE and all fitness tracking/backtrack enabled.
Granted this is in extremely rough conditions, but this would not be the case with a Garmin or the Samsung Watch Ultra by the looks of it.
competition is a good thing ...
the resemblance of the new Ultra to the AW Ultra is - remarkable ... I will say that the black casing looks nice.
And for the ring - $400. So all those who have been wanting for Apple to release one, the Apple ring would start at $450

That's quite an exaggeration.
It's funny how for a few similarities when it comes to Samsung it's just "copy copy copy" and when it comes to Apple "it's their artistic take on it".
Also, regarding innovations, Samsung just showed devices and features that Apple doesn't offer (the hardware on the Fold 6 looks better than ever) and also AI stuff Apple currently have in development because they are behind and will offer in Beta for by the end of the year or next year. Also, the very nice thing is Samsung will offer these AI feature even on their older phones which is something the "innovative" apple can't do.

Well, you know it just blends in and you stop seeing it. Was this quite a used phrase around here?
"Oh I can't even see the notch anymore, it's like it's not there"

Other than the similar strap it's hardly a copy. You definitely can't confuse the 2.
Like basically all new iOS 18 features including AI features are "blatant lazy copying"?
Also, the Galaxy Watch ultra is quite a bit cheaper than the Apple Watch Ultra, if it would work well would an iPhone I'm sure a lot of apple users would buy it because it a really high-quality feature packed smart watch.

i was going to reply with a frustration comment burlt everybody already knows what's going on...
Sorry
Sorry
Aside from the buds, where is the plagiarism?
Apple doesn't have any foldables (yet), nor do they offer a smart ring. I guess offering a high-end smartwatch is a copy, but I'd say that's more a copy of Apple's business strategy than the actual Apple device.
I still see the notch. I know it’s there. Full-screen videos in landscape orientation and it’s very apparent.
The crease for the Samsung flip phone is always there. I’ve seen people using it. It is quite apparent.
That specific request seems really hard to implement, “the grocery store” is very vague, at least having a store name would help narrow it down more… And it would have to follow your location for the next X hours/days until you get to anything that could remotely be described as a grocery store. Even a human could get confused with something like this: “This is Walmart! You said to remind you when we got to the grocery store” lol
Wouldn’t it be easier to just say “Siri add toilet paper to my shopping list”?
It's actually considerably less apparent than the notch or the pill and these weren't a problem at all for apple users, so I really don't understand the insistence to complain and act like the crease is a huge dealbreaker.
The notch is not right in the middle of the screen.
Borrowed from your edit and added the previous Frontier S3 and Gear Sport just to show the evolution of the design. It is literally their own original design from 2017 that they based it on with the added action button in the middle.

Never thought of it but you're right. It's a cool tech but I can't imagine using it without being hyper-aware of that awful crease, no matter how much they try to hide it.
Apple fans complaining about the crease is hilarious when the iPhone has a giant notch at the top which actually interferes with content as a black bar when watching content in landscape mode. The crease is nowhere near as noticeable as that in content.
It's like the notch. You will see it for the first couple of days but then your brain gets used to it to the point you stop noticing it.
The larger inner display on the Fold is so gorgeous and infinitely more productive, I can't imagine going back to candy bar phones again.
Question for you all:
Do you trust Samsung products generally? Asking because I'm not sure I do, despite the coolness of what they're coming out with. It's all very attractive, etc. but I once owned a Samsung TV and was less than impressed with it. It seemed quite open to malware, as the updates to their security happened once every 2 years or so, if that.
That experience left me cold, and so I wonder at things like longevity and security.
