Do you want to combine the best tablets and the best phones into one device? The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 does a darn good job of achieving that dream. 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.

Given that neither tablets nor phones come cheap, it should be no surprise that a device that doubles as both is expensive. That's what makes 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.

Granted, it's not as bank-breaking as it was when it launched. We've seen the Galaxy Z Fold 6 for less than AU$2,000 on Amazon, The Good Guys and JB Hi-Fi. And, if you can catch it at a similar price, buying it outright and pairing it with one of our best SIM-only plans might be the play.

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) | 100GB data  | 24 months | AU$153.54 p/m

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (256GB) | 100GB data (50GB bonus data) | 24 months | AU$153.54 p/m

This was the best Galaxy Z Fold 6 plan back in February and it remains unchanged three months on. Vodafone's offering of a AU$10 discount combined with double data on its SIM plans is simply unbeatable. You'll spend only AU$39 p/m on the plan itself – and AU$114.54 p/m on the device – which earns you 100GB of data and a solid roaming offering for international travel. The AU$10 discount is only for the first 12 months, but you'll get double data for your entire contract.

Total cost over 24 months is AU$3,804.96

Best premium Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: our pick

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (256GB) | 360GB data  | 24 months | AU$163.54 p/m

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (256GB) | 360GB data (180GB bonus) | 24 months | AU$163.54 p/m

If you find you need more data than 50GB per month, Vodafone is still the telco of choice thanks to the discount and doubled data on its medium and large plans. We've gone with the medium plan here, as you'll get a massive 360GB of monthly data for just AU$49 p/m. If you're regularly hotspotting devices rather than using wifi, the large plan's 720GB of data at just AU$59 over the first 12 months might be worth it. The AU$10 discount is only for the first 12 months, but you'll get double data for your entire contract.

Total cost over 24 months is AU$4,044.96

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.
