The Galaxy Z Flip 6 was finally officially announced by Samsung this Wednesday (10). The South Korean manufacturer’s new flip-style foldable device maintains the proposition of the previous device but does not feature as many visual changes as the larger foldable Galaxy Z Fold 6.
A Samsung didn’t invest in any significant innovations in the Galaxy Z Flip 6So it is easier to point out the improvements compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 5. In general, the foldable continues with the idea of being a more stylish device, is sold in a wide range of colors and offers more. fashion.
As always, the device’s hinge has been improved for greater durability, and like the company’s other devices, the edges are now flatter. Below you can see the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s main improvements over the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
1. 50MP main camera
Finally, Galaxy Z Flip 6 now comes with a 50MP cameraThe sensor is the main element of the rear pair, consisting of optical stabilization (OIS), f/1.8 aperture, 1.12 µm pixel size and 85° field of view.
This is a significant improvement compared to the 12 MP main camera of the Galaxy Z Flip 5, perhaps reason enough to buy the newer device. The higher resolution allows for better capture of information from the frame, thus guaranteeing better photo and video quality, although it is only one of the determining factors for the quality of the shot.
The main lens is also accompanied by interesting functions such as automatic zoom and various special Galaxy AI capabilities.
2. New processor and more RAM
HE Galaxy Z Flip 6 to come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chipsetThe processor is a direct successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 found in the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
Overall, the new System on a Chip (SoC) offers better performance for all activities, from the lightest to the most demanding, including gaming, image processing, and AI acceleration. The processor also needs more space to perform tasks, thanks to the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s 12GB of RAM, which is also superior to the previous generation foldable (8GB).
3. More eye-catching design
HE Galaxy Z Flip 6 may not feature major design changesbut it focuses more on color variety than the Z Flip 5. Instead of the selected color being only on the back cover, more parts of the phone, such as the rings around the cameras, are colored with the selected palette.
The sides of the device are flatter, and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is thinner and more discreet. Check out the size comparison with last year’s model below:
- Galaxy Z Flip 6 (open): 71.9 x 165.1 x 6.9mm;
- Galaxy Z Flip 5 (open): 71.9 x 165.1 x 6.9mm;
- Galaxy Z Flip 6 (folded): 71.9 x 85.1 x 14.9mm;
- Galaxy Z Flip 6 (folded): 71.9 x 85.1 x 15.1mm.
At the event, TecMundo found that the crease in the middle of the screen was more pronounced, making the device appear “flatter” when folded.
4. IP48 Certificate
HE Galaxy Z Flip 6 is now dust resistant (IP48)Unlike the Z Flip 5 (IPX8), it is only waterproof. This advance is very interesting, especially considering the more fragile nature of the foldable part, thus allowing the user to be more comfortable using the device in less than ideal conditions.
5. Better heat dissipation
Finally, this year’s launch marks the first time that heat dissipation is achieved through a vapor chamber. The structure promises to better cool the device, making it possible to maintain the processor’s high performance for longer.
6. More battery
HE Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a 4,000mAh batteryCompared to the 3,700 mAh of the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Given the change in other components that interfere with the activities of the mobile (chipset and cameras), this is a hidden, perhaps imperceptible improvement in the autonomy of the device.
