Samsung has now unveiled the sixth generation of its foldable smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has some new features and improvements to offer, but what has really changed compared to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5? We’ll tell you, you can find a detailed version of the comparison on idealo.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 vs Z Flip5: Design and dimensions
Although a lot has changed with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6, nothing has changed in terms of dimensions. The foldable is still 85 mm x 72 mm x 15 mm when folded and measures 165 mm x 72 mm x 7 mm when unfolded. The weight of 187 grams has also remained the same.
However, the design is more angular this year and the rounded edges have been made significantly flatter. In addition, the dent in the middle of the folding display has been slightly reduced. The frame now also has a matt finish, which provides better protection against fingerprints.
Better features
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is noticeably better equipped. Among other things, this is thanks to Qualcomm’s top Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and 12 GB of RAM – compared to 8 GB on the Flip 5. In addition, Samsung is now giving the new model a 7-year update guarantee.
The battery has also been enlarged and now holds 4,000 mAh in the Z Flip 6, which in combination with the more efficient chip promises a significantly better battery life. Charging is via cable with 25 watts and wirelessly with 15 watts.
Improved cameras
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has been given a major update in the camera area. The folding smartphone has the same 50-megapixel main camera that can also be found in the Galaxy S24. There is also a new 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 10-MP selfie cam.
The camera should be able to take better photos, especially at night and in difficult lighting conditions.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 price: When could the foldable become cheaper?
