Everyone’s a fan of the Flip format. Although the new Galaxy Z Fold 6 may be Samsung’s best foldable to date, the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 seems to be stealing some of the spotlight.

A Leap Forward in the Camera and Memory With the Latest Galaxy AI Features

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 maintains a design similar to the previous generation. It has the same weight and a slightly slimmer profile, measuring 14.9 mm when folded. In addition, Samsung has improved the folding system and hinge rails.

This year, the manufacturer has improved the outer screen, featuring a 3.4-inch HD+ Super AMOLED Flex Windows panel that allows access to Galaxy AI features without having to open the device.

Inside, there’s a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is powered by the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor accompanied by 12 GB of RAM, in contrast to the 8 GB in the previous generation. The battery has a capacity of 4,000 mAh, slightly higher than the 2023 model. This Flip also features a vapor chamber for the first time, showcasing the significance of its power.

Samsung has significantly improved the camera, which includes sensors similar to those found in the Fold. It includes a 50 MP main sensor and a 12 MP wide sensor. While it lacks a dedicated telephoto sensor, it does offer 2x optical zoom and introduces a night mode with HDR.

The Z Flip 6 includes artificial intelligence features like Suggested Replies, which suggest replies for incoming messages without having to unfold the screen.

The outer Flex Window screen now has new widgets for faster access to information. In addition, the Photo Ambient feature automatically changes the wallpaper based on the time, weather, and several effects.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 comes with Android 14 and OneUI 6.1. It’ll receive system and security updates for seven years.
