Introduction
If you are looking for a smartphone with standout, look no further than the foldable Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6.
With its impressive 6.7 inch Full High Definition inner screen which clamshells in half to reveal a 3.4 inch AMOLED inner display, it is like something out of a sci-fi movie.
This is the sixth generation of this foldable smartphone and with each generation, Samsung improves its design, features, artificial intelligence and tech.
Design
Samsung has two foldable phones - the Z Fold and the Z Flip. The Z Flip here is the one that adopts the clamshell-style design by folding vertically with a mini screen on the front.
It is a feat of engineering to get the two halves of the phone folding to sit snugly together but Samsung have managed it. The fact that it folds flat to protect the inner screen adds to its durability.
The Z Flip6 has an IP48 rating which gives it increased water and dust protection compared to the previous generations. New colours and a glass back give the smartphone a stunning look and feel.
Another nice touch is the colourful camera surround depending on which colour phone you choose.
Camera
Getting the perfect selfie is much more straightforward when you have a phone that can stand up on its own. Put the Galaxy ZFlip 6 in Flex Mode and capture hands-free selfies, record dance moves and never worry about your phone falling off its makeshift tripod ever again.
Use it like an old school camcorder or shoot without touching the buttons by turning on voice controls.
Samsung recently launched Galaxy AI for its premium phones so get ready to revolutionise the way you use your phone with a whole new plethora of photo and video editing tools like Generative Edit and Instant SloMo.
The Z Flip6 has the same main camera lens as the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus. This upgrade to a 50MP primary camera is an excellent addition and coupled with the new sensor on the 12MP ultrawide and the 10MP selfie camera, you are in for a treat when it comes to snapping photos.
The 2X Portrait mode is a great new camera feature too that gives a professional look to your photography. There are also improvements to video quality.
Display
With each generation, Samsung gets even better at diminishing the crease on the 6.7 inch inner screen that folds in half when you close the phone and the Z Flip6 is the best version yet.
With its 120 Hz refresh rate, you can expect the same smooth scrolling and gaming that you would get from any premium phone. The 3.4 inch outer screen runs at 60 Hz and can be used for Google Maps, Messages and more.
Processor
The Galaxy Z Flip6 is one of the fastest Android phones you can currently buy. It boasts the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy under the hood, the same as its Galaxy S24 siblings.
The Z Flip6 is supported with 7 years of updates from Samsung, versus 4 years on the Z Flip5.
Battery
The battery size has increased by 10% from the Z Flip5 to the Z Flip6, going from 3,700mAh to 4,000mAh, with no added weight.
Due to the phone's unique design, it houses two smaller batteries, one in each half, instead of a single large one.
The new, more efficient processor further extends battery life. The charging rate remains the same as its predecessor at 25W with 15W wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.
Colours and Storage
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 comes in blue, mint, silver shadow, yellow, crafted black, peach or white.
There are two storage options: 256GB and 512GB.
