The update aims to win over all those users who ruled out buying a Flip or Fold because of their battery life, thickness, weight or features.

Fortunately, these details do not remain only on paper, because We were able to test both models. in a few minutes to learn first-hand what new features they’ve integrated and how they did it.

This is what he is like Samsung Galaxy Z Foldable 6

Most of the changes are in this Galaxy Z-fold 6 They are in the design section. Samsung managed to do it a millimeter thinner when it is folded and has worked reduce your weight to 239 gramsa figure that increasingly resembles that of a regular smartphone, such as the Galaxy S24 Ultra (232 grams).

As for the overall dimensions, they have changed. Samsung, to the delight of a large number of users, made the Galaxy Z Fold 6 wider and less tallThe difference is small, but slightly favors using the external screen for actions like displaying the notification panel.

Speaking of screens, there aren’t many changes, but we did find one very interesting one: 2600 nits maximum brightness for the internal panel. AMOLED technology, HDR and 120Hz complete this section, which, although not full of new features, is again positioned as a bet with enough quality to become one of the best high-end products.

And if the screen and design are unclear, Samsung has integrated enviable and high-end hardware into this Galaxy Z Fold 6. Its processor is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which comes in the box. 12GB RAM and the various storage capacities we mentioned above. And while we haven’t managed to squeeze it out yet, we can tell you that it’s behavior is excellent when we talk about the smoothness of navigation through the interface and switching between applications.

Another detail we haven’t been able to delve into too much is the photography section, although we can tell you that Samsung releases several algorithms with the aim of raising the level of your photography. That is, he is betting on improve software rather than a radical change in equipment.

And the Galaxy Z Fold 6 cameras are not much different from the previous generation: 50MP main, 10MP telephoto with 3x zoom and 12MP ultra-wide angle lens. So if there is a significant improvement, it will be due to a new way of managing these sensors via software. For now, while Samsung is talking about an overall improvement in quality, we will have to wait to see if this represents a relevant upgrade.

Anyway, we are faced with this again one of the best folding designs on the marketand we appreciate that Samsung is working to improve design aspects like thickness and weight, albeit at a price that will be prohibitive for many.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: technical specifications

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip has also gotten better.

He Galaxy Z Flip 6 and its changes have also passed through our hands. And again we are faced with a device similar to previous generations, but in which some aspects have been updated to try to be the best. folding bed moment.

Like its bigger brother, the Z Flip 6 also features a matte frame, a new type of aluminum, and improved its design, making it a little more ergonomic. At the same time, there are no significant changes in dimensions and weight, although Samsung confirmed this. its hinge is more durable.

In fact, one of the things we liked most about this Galaxy Z Flip 6 is the screen fold mark. Samsung has worked to make it less noticeable, as we can see after holding it in our hands for a few minutes. The pulsation is still there, but now there is even less of it.

It is a fact that Samsung listened to the community when developing this new series, and it shows in details like the battery. This Galaxy Z Flip 6 has 300 mAh more than its predecessorwhich is transformed into a cell that manages to achieve 4000 mAh. A change in this direction became vital, since the autonomy of this smartphone was bordering on questionable limits.

Moreover, Samsung It also integrated Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. in this Flip 6, so improved power optimization should help leverage those extra 300mAh and translate it into longer battery life.

There are also surprises in the camera section, which includes new 50MP main sensor with which Samsung intends to dismiss criticism of the basic model’s photography. Of course, the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s new algorithms have been added, so it’s reasonable to expect a significant improvement in photographic quality.

Lots of AI to power this Galaxy

As with the previous Unpacked, Samsung dedicated a significant portion of the presentation to talking about artificial intelligence and the benefits that this technology offers to the new Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6. These are the features that we consider most relevant and that we have been able to work with in these foldable devices.

• Circle to search comes to foldables. This feature allows you to surround content on the screen and have the AI ​​show you information about it.
• Both devices have translator mode which relies on artificial intelligence to be able to communicate with a person in another language.

• AI can also read your conversations and write responses based on context.
