Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 Key Features!
Same Design With Bolder Camera Rings
Samsung maintained the same basic design from last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 5, but with a bold new camera ring design.
Even though it’s the same in every other aspect as the Z Flip 5, the thicker camera ring design means new Z Flip 6 won’t be compatible with the Flip 5 covers.
3.4-inch Flex Window
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 also retained the much larger 3.4-inch Flex Window display from the Z Flip 5, which was its biggest upgrade last year.
The Flex Window has a bright Super AMOLED panel, and a resolution of 720 x 748 pixels. Thanks to its large size, it is much more useful. Not only can you check notifications, and send quick replies to text messages, you can customise the Flex Window with widgets, video wallpapers, clock faces and styles.
The larger display makes it so much easier to take selfies with its awesome rear cameras!

6.7-inch Foldable Display
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 comes with the same large 6.7-inch Infinity Flex display as the Galaxy Z Flip 5. This foldable display has a Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, and a resolution of 1080 x 2640 pixels.
Its No-Gap Flex Hinge has been improved with better shock distribution. It also appears to allow the Z Flip 6 to close even tighter, with a small reduction in its folded thickness.
In case you are wondering – the crease is still visible if you view it from an angle, and you can feel it if you run your finger over it. But it appears to be less noticeable in the Galaxy Z Flip 6, making it easier to forget it after using it some time – you will forget it’s even there.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 display is, of course, large and really beautiful – with excellent resolution, colour gamut and brightness. And it folds into a really compact device about the size of a pager – if you are old enough to remember what that is!
Like previous Flip models, its foldable display comes with a protective film made from stretchable PET, so you should never stick any screen protector on it!
If you are new to foldable phones, you will be really tentative about folding it. But over time, it will become really natural – you won’t even think twice about folding it before shoving it down your pocket. The Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) is rated for at least 200,000 folds, so even if you fold it 100 times a day, it should last at least 5.5 years!
But while the display can withstand a lot of folding, you must still take care not to SCRATCH it. Avoid putting it together in your pocket or handbag with hard objects like coins, another phone, etc.
Performance + Storage
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 runs on the most powerful mobile SoC available for Android devices – the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, which is a specially-binned and slightly-overclocked version that Qualcomm created for Samsung Galaxy flagship smartphones.
Fabricated on the latest 4nm TSMC process technology, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy comes with eight processor cores in a quad-cluster architecture :
- 1 x Arm Cortex-X4 core (3.39 GHz, instead of 3.3 GHz)
- 3 x Arm Cortex-A720 cores
- 2 x Arm Cortex-A720 cores
- 2 x Arm Cortex-A520 cores
This mobile SoC also comes with the Qualcomm Adreno 750 GPU which supports ray-tracing, an improved Hexagon NPU, and the Snapdragon X75 5G modem that supports Sub-6Ghz and mmWave connectivity.
Our review sample came with 12 GB of memory, and 256 GB of fast UFS 3.1 storage. It is also available with 512 GB of storage. There is no option to increase storage, but generally 256 GB of storage is more than enough for most people.
Battery + Charging
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 now comes with a 4,000 mAh battery, which is 8% larger than last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 5.
It supports 25 watt fast charging, and 10 watt wireless charging. It can even wireless recharge other devices, albeit at just 4.5 watts. However, it does not come with an in-box charger. So you will have to use your old charger, or buy a new one.
Buttons
The only buttons you will find are on the upper right side of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 – the Volume control buttons and the Power button, which doubles as the fingerprint sensor.
Pressing the Power button twice activates the Quick Shot mode, which lets you take selfies using the rear cameras with the Flex Window for preview and control.
Only One Port
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 comes with a USB Type C port, which supports USB 3.2 connectivity. It does not come with a 3.5 mm audio jack, or a USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter in the box.
Dual SIM Support
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a SIM card tray that supports a single nano SIM card. It also supports an eSIM, so technically, you can use up to two SIMs at the same time.
Protection
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has an Enhanced Armour Aluminium frame, which offers 10% better scratch resistance, and its Flex Window is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
And for the first time, it is IP48-rated. In addition to its water resistance at up to 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is now protected against solid objects larger than 1 millimeter. It is still not dust-resistant, but it will keep small stones out of its delicate innards.
In addition, its chassis has an Armor Aluminium frame, and the Flex Window is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Its Dual Pixel main camera is also protected by Gorilla Glass with DX.
