If theSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 6has a nemesis, it’s sand.
The only problem was I wanted to watch the2024 Summer Olympics.

I knew I’d be on the beach during Olympic prime-time coverage.
On the beach, that last number matters, a lot.
As I packed for the beach, I decided to bring the whole kit.

It’s a large fabric tent that has one flexible spine and the rest just blows in the wind.
The stronger the wind, the louder the flapping sound gets.
The Buds 3 Pro did an excellent job of cutting out that loud background noise.

Taking the Samsung Galaxy Z fold 6 had an immediate benefit.
It let me bring a tablet-sized screen in a flagship phone size.
We already have enough to carry without taking an extra tablet of any size.

I had Adaptive Brightness on, which means the screen adjusted automatically to challenge the beach brightness.
I kept my sunglasses on.
That last act led to a big surprise.
This went on for an hour.
At one point I checked the battery life which was holding up nicely.
That E Ink display is 6.8 inches and does not fold.
Imagine if it did.
I knew that a single grit in the folded screen could lead to disaster.
I’m not insane.
Is Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 the perfect beach companion?
When the wind picked up, I kept checking that the sand was not airborne.
