It’s been four years since the launch of the original Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Samsung is now at generation six with the Z Flip6. The recently launched flip foldable is now at our office and we’re sharing some additional impressions ahead of its detailed review.
While it looks identical to last year’s Z Flip5, Samsung brought some long-awaited upgrades under the hood. These include a 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 1-120Hz variable refresh rate, a 50MP main camera, and the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy with 12GB RAM as default.
On the visual side, Flip6 is a tad slimmer at 14.9mm and our review unit sports the new blue color which is actually kind of muted in person. The frame is now matte instead of the glossy finish on the Flip5 and you also have color-matching metal rings around the camera.
One of those cameras now houses a 50MP sensor, which replaces the 12MP shooter on the older Flips. The other is the same old 12MP ultrawide with 123° field of view.
The retail package is as slim as ever – you only get a USB-C cable and a SIM ejector tool.
The new 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED screen on the Flip6 is noticeably brighter than its predecessor. Samsung claims up to 2,600 nits peak brightness which we’ll make sure to test in our full review. It also does a better job of hiding the bothersome crease in the middle.
The 3.4-inch AMOLED cover screen is still shaped like a folder and comes with more widgets this time around and plenty of AI features like suggested replies for texts. and Auto Zoom in Flex mode.
The Galaxy Flip6 is also Samsung’s first flip phone with a vapor chamber to help with cooling the flagship Qualcomm chipset. You also get a larger 4,000 mAh battery which should help with longer endurance.
If only charging speeds could go past 25W. Oh and Samsung DeX is still nowhere to be found on the Flip6 which is a bummer. That’s all we have for now, as our review team puts the Flip6 through its paces.
