Why Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 might be the BlackBerry of our times

Someone really close to me has been a long-time Fold user and is now looking to upgrade to the latest version. A few weeks back, he asked whether it makes sense to wait for the Fold6. I said I would have a better sense once I got the review unit. After seeing the launch event though, I told him the Z Fold5 seemed to be a good buy at the moment, as the features were not very different from the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6. A few days back when he actually saw the review device in my hands, it took him just a few seconds to conclude that he was buying the new Fold6. That’s when I realised how product perceptions differ at many levels and we reviewers often have a very myopic vision of user expectations.
