But... Samsung also needs twice as many charges because for whatever reason, their batteries simply don't last as long. Timewise, you get the same lifetime, from both. What good does a larger charging count bring, if you need to charge it twice as much? Misleading spec.

I had a Fold 3, and while I loved the form factor, the battery was shit.

The screen got broken, and I decided to upgrade to a Fold 6 so far I'm very impressed. I took it off the charger in my car at 100% on Wednesday night around 10pm, and put it back on the charger at 11:30pm Friday with 15% left.

48 hours with moderate usage (including some gaming and YouTube) is pretty good.
