Samsung Electronics recently unveiled the latest iterations of its foldable Z series smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Flip6, at its Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris. This year’s models mark a significant leap forward, leveraging the power of Galaxy AI and the unique form factors of these devices to create a new chapter in mobile experiences.

Both phones are built with Samsung’s slimmest and lightest foldable design yet. They boast a more aesthetically pleasing symmetrical design, with a new cover screen ratio on the Fold6 for a natural viewing experience. Durability has also been significantly improved, thanks to a strengthened folding edge, enhanced layers on the main screen, and the use of cutting-edge materials like Armor Aluminum and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. This ensures you can confidently unfold a world of possibilities without worrying about damage.

Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Flip6 pack the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, offering best-in-class CPU, GPU, and NPU performance. This translates to seamless multitasking, smooth gameplay, and powerful AI processing capabilities. The Fold6 boasts a larger vapour chamber for enhanced cooling during demanding tasks, while the Flip6 features a vapour chamber for the first time, ensuring sustained performance even when you’re on the go.

The Fold6 unfolds a range of AI-powered features to maximize productivity on its large screen. Samsung Notes offers a suite of intelligent tools like translation, summaries, and auto formatting for efficient note-taking. A groundbreaking new transcript feature allows direct transcription, translation, and summarization of voice recordings, making capturing and organizing information a breeze. The Fold6 also integrates seamlessly with the Google Gemini app, providing an on-device AI assistant that can help you with writing, learning, or planning your next big adventure.

Galaxy AI further enhances communication on the Fold6. The Interpreter app features a new conversation mode that displays translations on both screens simultaneously for smoother interactions. Live Translate has been expanded to work with a selection of popular third-party calling apps, eliminating language barriers and fostering seamless communication across borders.

For content creators, the Fold6 boasts an AI-powered ProVisual Engine that elevates every aspect of the creative process, from capturing to editing and viewing stunning visuals. Photo Assist offers advanced editing tools that make professional-grade content creation effortless. Portrait Studio allows you to unleash your creativity with a variety of unique portrait styles, like 3D cartoon or watercolor. And if you want to relive every detail, Instant Slow-mo lets you slow down videos while maintaining a smooth viewing experience, perfect for capturing those fleeting moments of brilliance.

The Flip6 is designed for ultimate portability and offers a range of new customization and creativity features that empower users to make the most of every moment. The enhanced Super AMOLED FlexWindow allows for AI-assisted functions without even opening the phone. Suggested replies analyze your messages and propose tailored responses, saving you time and keeping conversations flowing. Galaxy AI unlocks the full potential of the pocket-sized device, with FlexWindow providing access to Samsung Health updates, music controls, and the ability to view information from multiple widgets simultaneously.

The AI-powered Photo Ambient feature dynamically changes your wallpaper based on the time and weather, creating a truly personalized experience. Users can further personalize their device with suggested screen layouts based on their chosen wallpaper, ensuring a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing look.

The FlipCam continues its reign as one of the most versatile camera experiences available on a foldable phone. The new Auto Zoom feature takes the guesswork out of framing your shots by automatically finding the best composition, while the upgraded 50MP Wide and 12MP Ultra-wide sensors capture clear and crisp details in every photo. Nightography, enhanced with video HDR, allows users to capture stunning videos even in low-light conditions.

The Flip6 takes content creation a step further by integrating Nightography directly into the Instagram app, allowing users to capture and share captivating nighttime photos and videos seamlessly. Users can continue using all the creative and customizable features of the Galaxy Z Flip6 without worrying about battery life, thanks to hardware and software optimization that ensures long-lasting performance.

The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Flip6 prioritizes both security and the environment. Samsung Knox, a defence-grade security platform, safeguards your information with end-to-end hardware encryption, real-time threat detection, and collaborative protection. In the spirit of user empowerment, Galaxy AI settings give you control over how your data is used to enhance AI features. Additionally, Enhanced Data Protection offers end-to-end encryption when backing up, syncing, or restoring data with Samsung Cloud. Samsung’s commitment extends beyond security. The Galaxy Z series is built with a focus on sustainability. Recycled materials like gold, copper, plastics, aluminium, and glass are incorporated throughout the phone, following Samsung’s expansion of recycled materials introduced earlier in the Galaxy S24 series. The packaging is also 100% recycled paper, and the phones are backed by a long-term commitment of seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates.
