Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (everything you wished to know)

The wait is over! The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is here, featuring a sleek, lightweight design, a powerful new chipset, enhanced durability, and the full range of Galaxy AI features. However, it does come with a higher price tag compared to last year’s model.

1.Samsung Galaxy Z FOLD 6: What’s New?

Despite rumors of a major redesign, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 looks quite similar to previous models. It’s slightly shorter and wider, measuring 6 x 2.68 x 0.47 inches when folded and 6 x 5.2 x 0.22 inches when unfolded, just 0.1 inches shorter and 0.09 inches wider than the Z Fold 5—differences that are barely noticeable. The Z Fold 6 is thinner and lighter, weighing 8.4oz, which is half an ounce less than its predecessor. It’s 0.47 inches thick, 0.06 inches less than the Z Fold 5. Samsung claims the Z Fold 6 is more durable due to the new Dual Rail Hinge technology, which is thinner and stronger, reducing the display crease and offering better protection. Additionally, it has an FTG layer on the inner screen, an armor aluminum frame, and IP48 dust resistance, marking the first time a Z Fold has a formal dust protection rating. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, the Z Fold 6 boasts a performance edge and improved power efficiency over other top Android phones. This should help the 4,400 mAh battery last longer, even though it’s the same size as the one in the Z Fold 5. This year’s standout features are the Galaxy AI updates. The Z Fold 6 includes all the Galaxy AI features launched earlier this year. New exclusive features include Sketch to Image, which transforms doodles into realistic objects, and Portrait Studio, which can convert selfies into various art styles using generative AI. Familiar features have been updated for the Z Fold 6, such as Interpreter mode, which now uses both screens to show translated conversations. Like the Galaxy S24 flagships, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will receive seven years of software and security updates. For a detailed comparison, check out our Galaxy Z Fold 6 vs. Galaxy Z Fold 5 review.
