The best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 plans in Australia (February 2025)

Can’t decide between upgrading your smartphone or buying yourself a fancy new tablet? The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 might be the answer. Offering all the benefits of one of the best phones and performing as a slightly downsized version of the best tablets, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is undoubtedly one of the best foldable phones on the market – rivalled only by the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold in Australia.

As you well know, top-tier phones and premium tablets don’t come cheap and neither does a top-tier combination of both. Which is why, more than an regularly expensive handset, opting to grab the Z Fold 6 on a long-term SIM plan is an attractive option, even if it costs slightly more than buying outright.

Of course, if you’d rather pay the upwards of AU$2,749 price up-front, this foldable behemoth can be purchased from major retailers like Amazon, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys and, of course, Samsung Australia. Pair it with one of our best SIM-only plans for the most affordable route to owning Samsung’s foldable beast.

If paying it off in smaller instalments over a 12-, 24- or 36-month contract sounds a little more attractive to you and your bank account, Australia’s big three (Telstra, Optus and particularly Vodafone) are offering some excellent monthly prices on the Galaxy Z Fold 6. We’ve collected the best Fold 6 plans below for both the budget and data-conscious buyer.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: key information

The best foldable phones should feel like a true flagship smartphone when it’s folded, with a tablet-sized display hiding inside. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 does just that. It’s light, thin and easily the best foldable phone Samsung has ever made.

Of course, it’s not quite as thin as a regular flagship phone when it’s folded. In fact, it’s roughly two Samsung Galaxy 24 Ultras or iPhone 15 Pro Maxes stacked on top of each other. And, while it’s a big upgrade over its predecessor, the Fold 6’s 7.6-inch AMOLED screen still has a visible crease at its hinge. However, it’s only 9g heavier than the S24 Ultra, and the cover screen actually functions like a true handset where the previous iterations were too narrow to use like a regular smartphone.

If you like versatility from your devices, then it doesn’t get much better than the Z Fold 6. This foldable phone is a large, powerful and fast 6.3-inch smartphone that’s comfortable to grip, with a bright, responsive display. At the same time, it’s an easily portable 7.6-inch tablet that is built for any task – from movies, TV shows and gaming, to comfortable mobile reading, email, doodles and serious multi-tasking productivity.

If you’ve heard durability concerns around foldable phones, you’re right to consider them when compared to a regular handset. The Galaxy Z Fold 6, however, has a screen that’s more resilient (and brighter!) than ever. Of course, compared to screens that don’t fold, there’s a risk – but I found no durability issues in my time with the handset. Plus, its screen is fantastically vibrant, colourful and responsive both indoors and outdoors.

With a solid One UI platform backed by Android 14 and a deep well of Galaxy AI capabilities, this Galaxy Z Fold 6 is the complete package. If you’re looking for a phone that can double as a compact tablet, the only competition on the market is Google’s exceptional Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and it’s a toss up for which one the TechRadar team prefer.
