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

With the recent release of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is no longer the best Samsung foldable on the market. Still, when it comes to offering the best of both worlds between the best tablets and the best phones, it's still one of the best foldable phones on the market, it's both a powerful smartphone that can handle all work and play, as well as a smaller, more portable tablet.

Of course, with all the versatility of an all-powerful smartphone and ultra-portable tablet, the device is a pricey prospect even in 2025. However, we are starting to see some seriously attractive deals on the Z Fold 6 – most recently down to just AU$1,985 in May, 2025 on Amazon.

That makes buying outright and pairing it with one of our best SIM-only plans a great option. Still, because of its price, pairing the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with one of the best phone plans such an attractive proposition – letting you get your new device on a solid plan and pay it off over a long-term contract.

Still, that's a lot of money to spend in one fell swoop. Between the big-three telcos of Vodafone, Optus and Telstra, Vodafone often has the most affordable plans – but that's not always the case. It can be difficult and time-consuming to find the best deal on a specific phone, so that's why we've provided the best plans for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 below – whether you're looking for a ton of data or the most value.

Best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 plan: our pick

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (256GB) | 50GB data | 24 months | AU$169.54 p/m

With Vodafone not currently stocking the Z Fold 6, Optus is your best option. However, with Vodafone increasing its prices by AU$4, and removing its 'double-data and AU$10 discount' deal, the value gap between the two has reduced dramatically. This plan connects you to the Optus 5G network – the fastest in Australia.

Total cost over 24 months is AU$4,068.96

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.
