TheGalaxy Z Flip 6is one of Samsung’s flagship folding phones for 2024, competing against the likes of Motorola Razr and Razr+ (2024). Here, we’ll discuss all the standout features it offers that make it worth your hard-earned money.
1The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor
If you’relooking to buy a new smartphone in 2024and are hoping to get value for your money, performance is one factor you shouldn’t compromise on.
Like Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Z Flip 6 packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. According toQualcomm’s claims, the chip offers a 30% increase in CPU performance and a 25% enhancement in GPU performance compared to the 8 Gen 2 in the Z Flip 5.
2Galaxy AI Features
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has all thebest Galaxy AI featuresthat Samsung introduced alongside the Galaxy S24 series. However, Samsung’s foldable lineup has a few new additions. One such example is the Photo Ambient feature, which allows you to set AI-powered wallpapers that change based on the time and weather.
Another Galaxy AI feature, called Interpreter, now works in Flex Mode. This feature essentially turns your device into a real-time translator, allowing both participants in a conversation to see translations simultaneously on both the main screen and the cover display.
Lastly, Samsung has added a Sketch to Image feature that generates realistic images from your sketches or drawings. You can also draw on top of the pictures you’ve taken to add realistic objects with ease.
312GB of RAM
Considering high-end Android phones nowadays ship with 12GB of RAM, we’re glad to see Samsung including 12GB as standard on the Z Flip 6. So, whether you go with the 256GB or 512GB storage variant, you get the same amount of RAM>
Coupled with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, you can already imagine how powerful this phone would be. It’s also the first phone in the Z Flip line to feature a vapor chamber, ensuring it stays cool during heavy-duty tasks like gaming and running multiple apps simultaneously.
Nonetheless, you can rest assured that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 can not only meet all your multitasking needs but also exceed your expectations.
44,000mAh Battery
Even though the Galaxy Z Flip 6 isn’t any thinner than its predecessor, it packs a slightly larger 4,000mAh battery. Also, since the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip is 20-25 percent more efficient than the 8 Gen 2, the Z Flip 6 should easily last you through the day. Hopefully, battery life is the last thing you’ll need to worry about with the Z Flip 6.
550MP Main Camera
Camera quality has always been one of the major downsides of flip phones. Thankfully, Samsung has addressed this with the Z Flip 6 by adding a 50MP wide-angle primary camera, which is the same as the one on the Galaxy S24.
Another meaningful AI feature you get has to do with the device’s camera. With Auto Zoom, FlexCam can now automatically detect the subject of an image and find the best frame by zooming in and out.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 also uses Samsung’s ProVisual Engine, which allows you to capture images with incredible detail, even in low-light conditions.
6IP48 Dust and Water Resistance
Whilean IP68 dust and water-resistance ratingisn’t uncommon in the smartphone world, you’ll seldom come across a foldable phone offering it. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 breaks this barrier with an IP48 rating, meaning it’s not only water-resistant but also the first to offer some degree of dust resistance.
The IP48 rating provides protection from foreign particles larger than 1mm. While it isn’t the dust resistance rating we’ve been hoping for, it’s certainly better than what we’ve seen in other IPX8-rated flip phones.
7Software Updates for Seven Years
In 2024, Samsung followed Google and extended the software support for its high-end phones to seven years. As a result, like the Galaxy S24 series, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will also receive seven years of major Android upgrades and security updates. So, if you tend to keep your phones for a long time, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could last you until 2031 with proper care.
Although we won’t say thatthe Galaxy Z Flip 6is a revolutionary release in the world of foldable devices, it’s still an excellent option if you’re looking to purchase your first foldable phone. Samsung’s long-term software support ensures you won’t need to upgrade to a newer phone due to outdated software.
