What are the main features of the latest fold phone?

The latest Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 combines cutting-edge hardware with intelligent and enhanced AI features. At its core, the Galaxy Z Fold6 has a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X QXGA+ display which unfolds to provide an immersive experience for gaming, creating, and PC-style productivity. Gamers can now get their thrills on the go with vivid colours and crisp contrast, thanks to Adaptive Vision Booster on the super-bright 2,600 nits screen. Whilst the heavyweight Snapdragon™ 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor provides eye-popping graphics with lifelike light and shadows.

The innovative Flex Hinge enables the Galaxy Z Fold6 to seamlessly transition from a compact phone to a tablet-sized screen. With a new larger 6.3-inch front display there’s plenty of space for everyday tasks, so you can reply to messages or check the weather without having to open your phone. Weighing in at just 239g with a thickness of 12.2mm when folded, it slips easily into bags and pockets without dragging you down.

And that’s not all. You can enjoy all of Samsung’s mind-blowing and enhanced Galaxy AI features¹ to boost your productivity. For instance, Live Translate³, a feature that makes international calls as easy as local ones. You speak in English, and your French business partner hears you in French, simplifying global communication. Similarly, the Interpreter function³ is perfect if you love to travel. It enables real-time conversation translation without the need for internet, making it a must-have for any globetrotter. Chat Assist⁵ is ready to translate, spell-check or change the tone of your text messages before you send them. And when it comes to saving you time, Note Assist⁴ harnesses the power of AI to neatly format your S Pen notes and generate easy-to-skim summaries with just a couple of taps. The Galaxy Z Fold6 is also fully equipped with other AI features, like Circle to Search with Google² that eliminates the hassle of typing, allowing you to circle an object on the screen to instantly pull up Google Search results. Imagine you’re reading a recipe and want to know more about an ingredient; just circle it, and voilà!

The Galaxy Z Fold6 now boasts the same AI-powered camera as the Galaxy S24, putting pro-level photography in your back pocket. Even in tricky backlit conditions, the Galaxy AI-powered ProVisual Engine automatically enhances every fine detail and each subtle shade. Plus, with Photo Assist⁴, you can intelligently edit photos by relocating objects or filling in spaces, ensuring every picture is frame-worthy. And for those moments when you need to tweak a photo just a bit more, Generative Edit⁶ uses AI to resize and retouch images, giving you professional results without the need for a separate app. With Galaxy AI and plenty of screen space, getting more done on the Galaxy Z Fold6 is easier than ever.

What are the main features of the latest flip phone?

The Galaxy Z Flip6 opens up whole new levels of performance and style. On the front there’s a handy 3.4-inch Flex Window that allows you to access widgets, apps, and even take photos without flipping open the phone. Imagine checking your messages, controlling music playback, or navigating Google Maps, all from the convenience of the cover screen. Open it up to unveil a large 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X FHD+ display which offers exceptional brightness (an incredible 2,600 nits), colour and contrast, whatever the lighting conditions.

Like the Galaxy Z Flip5, at the heart of the Galaxy Z Flip6 is Galaxy AI¹, which is like having a super-smart helper in your pocket. On holiday and the hotel receptionist doesn’t speak your native language? No problem. Interpreter³ in Dual Screen Mode translates the conversation in real time, using either side of the display to show what the other person is saying in their own language. Call Assist’s Live translate³ feature lets both people speak and hear in their own languages during phone calls. When it comes to work, Flex Mode and Transcript Assist³ can take the meeting minutes for you, letting you sit back and listen. And the Smart Reply² feature analyses your recent messages and suggests responses so you can answer without typing. Galaxy AI even lets you create your own wallpapers and eye-catching 3D floating stickers to display on the Flex Window⁴.

The camera experience on the Galaxy Z Flip6 is also designed to impress. The main camera now comes with the same mind-blowing tech as the Galaxy S24, so images and video with the 50MP lens are ultra-crisp and incredibly lifelike. With the ability to take selfies using the Flex Window and FlexCam system you can capture photos and videos hands-free, without opening the phone or using a tripod. Plus, with Galaxy AI-powered Pro Visual Engine and Photo Assist, you can create eye popping portraits, thanks to pro-level editing and auto-detection features. And that’s not all; AutoZoom now takes hands-free photography to show-stopping new heights – it detects subjects and background then automatically zooms in and out for the best angles and compositions. By delivering vibrant, clear photos every time, this flip phone ensures that your memories are captured in the best light possible.

There’s no compromise when it comes to performance either. The Galaxy Z Flip6 is equipped with a Snapdragon™ 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chipset, ensuring smooth and responsive operation whether you’re gaming or multitasking. The 4,000 mAh battery⁵ keeps the device powered throughout the day, even with heavy use. And as the toughest Galaxy Z Flip ever, it’s built to last. With a tough Armour Aluminium and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 exterior, strengthened hinge and scratch resistant screen, you can rest assured that it’s as strong as it is stylish. To top things off, its sleek design features and classy colours are sure to make you stand out from the crowd whatever your style.

How durable are the Samsung folding phones?

Both the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 have an IP48 water resistance accreditation, which means they can withstand immersion in water at a depth of 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes¹. So, you can have peace of mind that your device will be protected especially during unexpected rain or accidental spills.

The materials used in these latest foldables are both tough and lightweight, ensuring that the phones can handle the rigors of daily use. The latest models have undergone thorough testing to demonstrate their resilience, with the innovative hinge able to withstand hundreds of thousands of folds. Plus, further hinge development means the display can now lay closer together, contributing to a thinner profile when folded.

Moreover, the screens are protected by Corning® Gorilla Glass Victus® 2, which is known for its exceptional durability against scratches and drops, while the frame is made from stronger Armour Aluminium which provides better resistance against external impacts, drops, and bending.
