Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 6, the phone full of exciting features, is back with improvements and AI features. Samsung is building its legacy of foldable devices, they maintain a unique position in the market. However, as competitors aim to offer foldables at lower price points, Samsung has increased the pricing of its new flip phone for the third consecutive year, with the Galaxy Z Flip 6 starting at Rs. 109,999. Despite this, the device boasts significant upgrades, especially in terms of AI and performance. In this blog, we will discuss the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 best features & find out why you should choose this as your next phone.
Design & Build Quality
One of the best features of Galaxy Z Flip 6 is its compact size when folded, making it incredibly pocket-friendly. If we talk about hinge and frame then they are made from enhanced armor aluminum, providing a solid in-hand feel. Apart from this, the flat edge design adds to the premium feel, although the corners might press into your palm during daily use. The phone is available in different colors such as White, Peach, Crafted Black, Blue, Mint, and Silver Shadow.
Display
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 comes with a 6.7-inch Full-HD+ Dynamic AMOLED main display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a screen resolution of 1080×2640 pixels. The peak brightness has been increased to 2600 nits, a significant improvement from the Flip 5’s 1750 nits. If we talk about the cover display, however, remains a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED with a 60Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 720×748 pixels. The only downside of this phone is the functionality of the cover screen, especially when we compare it to competitors like the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra. In terms of gaming, the device is also decent, although it takes some getting used to due to the non-bar style design.
Performance
In terms of performance, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 comes with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, with 12GB of RAM as the base variant. This will ensure smooth multitasking and the ability to run heavy graphics games without an issue. The device is also the first flip phone with a vapor chamber cooling system, which helps manage heat during extended gaming sessions. The phone ran several high-end games on ‘Very High’ graphics and ‘Max’ framerate without stuttering, even after 30 minutes of gameplay. The cooling system effectively returns the phone to normal temperatures within 10 minutes after gaming.
AI Features
AI is a major focus for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, enhancing everyday usage. Features like Note Assist in the Samsung Notes app can summarize, correct spellings, translate, or voice record and transcribe meetings and much more. Other AI features include the Keyboard suggests text for emails or social media apps, while the Interpreter tool aids in real-time translations during face-to-face conversations.
The Gallery app’s Sketch to Image feature allows users to scribble on existing images, with AI adding elements like mountains or other objects. The Portrait Studio can convert portrait photos into different styles, such as comics or 3D cartoons. FlexCam with Auto Zoom, Suggested Replies on the cover screen, and the Photo Ambient feature, which changes wallpapers based on time and weather, are also notable AI additions.
Camera
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 comes with the dual-camera setup with a new 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The 10-megapixel selfie camera remains unchanged. The primary camera offers detailed, color-accurate photos with a wide dynamic range. The ultra-wide camera also performs well, maintaining color accuracy and details. Low-light photography, also known as “nightography” by Samsung, produces decent shots with controlled noise and good detail retention. The phone lacks 8K recording support but offers excellent 4K recording at 30 and 60fps.
Battery Life
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a 4000mAh battery, an upgrade from the Flip 5’s 3700mAh. However, in real-world usage, the battery life remains average. Some users test that with heavy use, their phone lasts until around 7 pm from a 7 am start, providing about 5 hours of screen-on time. The 25W charging support allows the phone to reach 50% in 32 minutes, while a full charge takes around 80-90 minutes.
Final Talk
In short, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is full of useful AI features, an improved primary camera, and a vapor chamber cooling system. However, its high price and incremental upgrades over the Flip 5 make it less appealing compared to competitors like the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra. If you like AI features more, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is worth considering. Otherwise, the Galaxy S24+ offers similar features without the foldable design at a lower price.
