Here we go! Samsung has just announced the arrival in Argentina of its new Galaxy Z Fold6, the foldable phone that promises to be the envy of all. With a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display when open and a 6.3-inch external one, this beast is a tablet that fits in your pocket. But watch out, the battery is not 4400 mAh like its predecessor, but has increased to 4600 mAh, so you can spend the day watching TikTok without a hitch. The processor? A Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 that flies. And the camera: triple lens 50 MP + 12 MP + 10 MP, with 3x optical zoom. Crazy.
But not everything is rosy. The price in Argentina is enough to pull your hair out: the Galaxy Z Fold6 starts at $1,899,999 in official stores. Yes, almost two million pesos. And financing? Well, Samsung offers up to 18 interest-free installments with selected credit cards, but beware that installments range from $105,000 to $170,000 per month, depending on the bank. There are also 12-installment options with a 35% APR. A headache.
On the other hand, Motorola laughs in Samsung’s face with its Edge 50 Pro, which costs half: $899,999. It has a 6.7-inch pOLED display, 4500 mAh battery, and triple camera 50 MP + 13 MP + 10 MP with 2x optical zoom. And the processor? A Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 that runs well. It’s not foldable, but it won’t leave you broke.
Apple, the other monster, has the iPhone 15 Pro Max at $1,499,999 in installments of up to 24 months with Mercado Pago. Its 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display, A17 Pro chip, and 48 MP camera with 5x optical zoom are top-notch. But it doesn’t fold, so boring.
Xiaomi also joins the party with the Mix Fold 4, which hasn’t officially arrived but can be obtained through importers at $1,699,999. It has an 8.03-inch display, 5100 mAh battery, and Leica 50 MP camera. But without Argentine warranty, you take the risk.
In conclusion, the Galaxy Z Fold6 is the king of foldables, but its price can knock you out. If you earn 500k, better go for a Motorola or an iPhone in installments. Remember: debt is eternal, but the phone will break in two years. Choose wisely!
