The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 officially debuted in the global market on Wednesday, July 10, 2024.
At the “Galaxy Unpacked” event held at Les Salles Du Carrousel in the Louvre Museum area, Paris, France, on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, at 2:00 PM local time or 8:00 PM WIB. After the event, attendees were able to experience the Samsung Z Flip 6 firsthand, which brings numerous improvements over its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
The main upgrades include a primary camera upgraded to 50 MP, more advanced Galaxy AI features, a larger battery, a newer chipset, equipped with a vapor chamber cooling system, a larger battery capacity (now 4,000 mAh), and an Android OS update spanning 7 generations.
On paper, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has dimensions of 165.1 mm in length, 71.9 mm in width, and 6.9 mm in thickness when unfolded. In folded mode, its dimensions are 71.9 x 85.1 x 14.9 mm. The phone weighs 187 grams. For comparison, last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 had unfolded dimensions of 165.1 x 71.9 x 6.9 mm and folded dimensions of 85.1 x 71.9 x 15.1 mm. Its weight was also 187 grams.
Flat and Boxy Frame
The sensation of holding the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is more comfortable as the phone’s frame is completely flat and its corners are more squared. The frame and back of the Samsung Z Flip 6 feature a matte finish, giving the phone a more premium look.
In terms of design, Samsung has revamped the design of the rear camera on this foldable phone. Now, both rear cameras of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 within the cover screen (secondary screen) are coated with a color that matches the back of the phone. This makes the camera lenses of the Samsung Z Flip 6 stand out more. From a distance, the cover screen of this phone appears to have two eyes. In previous generations, Samsung only provided a silver or black trim on the rear camera lenses.
Less Noticeable Crease
One of the things that caught our attention was the screen crease of the Galaxy Z Flip 6, which is now significantly minimized. We could hardly see the crease of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 when viewing its screen for the first time. Only when we touched the middle of the screen did we feel a slight crease.
This less noticeable crease adds value to the phone, as it sometimes disrupts the aesthetic of the display.
