Both of these devices include Android OS (operating system), but the Galaxy Z Fold 2 has newer 11 version and Galaxy S6 Active has Android 5.0, so it provides you a couple additional features. Samsung Galaxy S6 Active counts with a way better screen than Galaxy Z Fold 2, because although it has a really smaller display and a bit lower resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, it also counts with much more pixels per display inch.

The Galaxy S6 Active features a little bit better hardware performance than Galaxy Z Fold 2, because although it has 9 GB less RAM memory, and they both have 8 CPU cores, the Galaxy S6 Active also counts with a 64-bit processing unit and an extra graphics processor.
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 features a way better camera than Samsung Galaxy S6 Active, because although it has a back facing camera with a much lower 12 mega pixels resolution and a worse (4K) video quality, it also counts with a larger diafragm aperture to take better photography in low-light situations and a much larger back camera sensor.
