Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 in hand: rough finish, more beautiful device, added Galaxy AI feature

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6, if we talk about improvements compared to Z Flip5, it is about the hinge, product finishing, camera, battery and software. At first glance through the image, you will probably all agree that "Oh, the Z Flip6 looks no different than the Z Flip5" but through the things I listed at the beginning, the Z Flip6 really has a significant upgrade compared to the Z Flip6. predecessor.

The current world of folding phones still only has two popular folding styles: horizontal folding - unfolding like the Z Fold6 and vertical folding like the Z Flip6, so in essence it is a creation, to be creative. More innovation is not necessary at this time, instead Samsung and many other companies focus on improving what is already available, ultimately leading to an enhanced experience.

Z Flip6 design with improved hinges, matte frame and matte glass

Samsung has once again improved the hinges of the Z Fold6 and Z Flip6. With the Z Flip6, you won't see much difference, but this hinge really makes the Z Fold6 thinner, more durable, and lighter.

The only thing that Z Flip6 has from Z Fold6 in this new hinge style is increased durability, the most damaged area is the fold area which has been reinforced, the screen protection layer on the inside is reinforced. The inside will help disperse the force when folding, avoiding damage to the area right at the fold.

Samsung continues to use the Flex hinge, a dual-style hinge on each side. Currently, that is almost the only way to help the device fold closer while minimizing the crease in the middle of the screen. And speaking of folds, it's still similar to the previous generation.

The second change on the Galaxy Z Flip6 is that the camera border will be the same color as the device, meaning that whatever color the device is, the camera border will have that color. This year Samsung chose Maya blue as the main color for the Z Flip6 series.

Third, the device's frame will now change from glossy to matte. I personally highly appreciate this change from Samsung, because the glossy metal frame will make the device get fingerprints very quickly, making the device look dull. will lose its beauty. I don't have any problems with the glossy frame, but when I switch to matte, I like it better 😁. This rough frame Samsung calls Armor Aluminum, enhances scratch resistance by 10%.

Samsung will sell a total of 7 colors for the Galaxy Z Flip6, but 3 colors: Crafted Black, Classic White, and Peach Blossom will be sold exclusively on Samsung Vietnam's website. The remaining four colors will be Metallic Gray, Mint Green, Solar Yellow and Maya Blue.

The outer glass layer protecting the Z Flip6 will still be Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, but the back will be rough, instead of glossy, with bright colors it will make scratches harder to see.

The Z Flip6's “folder” screen could use some more features

Samsung also upgraded the external cover screen of the Z Flip6, still a folder type, but this cover screen is upgraded in software instead of hardware, meaning the parameters are similar to the Z Flip5, But Samsung added some features such as the Interpreter feature that can be used on the cover screen, the person opposite you will more easily follow the conversation without having to show the main screen inside.

Second, you can combine 3 or more widgets as a "stack" outside the cover screen, better covering the information you want to see.

The remaining Flex Mode features are still kept by Samsung as on the Galaxy Z Flip5, with unique camera shooting modes. There is a new feature that I think those of you who often use the social network Instagram will like, but I will share more in the camera section.

The basic specifications of the Galaxy Z Flip6 cover screen are a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED panel with a refresh rate of 60Hz, peak brightness of 1600 nits.

With the external screen, the Galaxy Z Flip6 is no different, it is a 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with peak brightness of 3000 nits, 120Hz refresh rate. Except for improvements in the hinge and the glass covering the screen inside, the remaining indicators are no different.

Upgraded camera with new hardware

If the Galaxy Z Flip5 still has quite old camera hardware, the Galaxy Z Flip6 has been heavily upgraded with a 50MP main sensor, along with a 12MP ultra-wide camera. With the new sensor, users can expect better image quality and better zoom range. Samsung also introduced the auto zoom feature when users use the main camera to record videos in Flex Mode.

In addition, with captured images, users can rely on GenAI present on the Galaxy Z Flip6 to create new images with a different style, based on the provisions provided by Samsung.

For those of you who like to take photos and videos to upload to social networking platforms such as Instagram, Samsung has added the ability to record low-light videos and take low-light photos right in the application's camera interface, now You can confidently take photos and videos with better, more optimized details than before.

The Galaxy Z Flip6's selfie camera has the same resolution of 10MP. Samsung also optimized the interface when you hold the Galaxy Z Flip6 in Flex Mode to film, a zoom bar will be placed right where your thumb is for easier operation.
