Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6

Here’s a quick overview of the latest Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Overview

An improved design and display

Because of the design change, the outer display is also slightly larger at 6.3 inches diagonally. The aspect ratio is also not as tall at 22.1:9 now. On the inside, you are greeted by a 7.6″ Infinity Flex screen with a 20.9:18 aspect ratio. Both inner and outer displays ship with an adaptive refresh rate from 1-120Hz while only the cover display gets Corning’s Gorilla Glass 2 protection (alongside the back glass).

Performance and Software

On the performance side of things, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 features the best of Qualcomm. We are getting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip that has been specifically optimized for Galaxy phones. On the memory end, you get to choose between 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB variants (UFS 4.0) all configured with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM.

Besides that, Galaxy AI is also one of the highlights in the Z Fold. Since it’s a foldable, Samsung made sure to emphasize their innovative new features and their integration with the big screen and productivity. You can use features like Circle to Search and Note Assist just like on the S24 series. Furthermore, One UI 6.1.1 is also optimized to take advantage of the foldable form factor for AI-based productivity. That includes features like Interpreter where two people can view translations from the cover and inner displays while Sketch transforms your sketches into gorgeous art using the power of AI. Finally, as expected, Samsung has promised a whopping 7 years of Android updates for the Z Fold 6.

Camera and Battery

There are a total of five different cameras spread out through the Z Fold 6. The rear shooters consist of a 50MP primary with OIS and 2X optical zoom, a 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and an ultrawide. The 12MP ultrawide has an aperture of f/2.2 with a 123º field of view. On the hole punch of the cover screen is a 10MP selfie camera while another shooter is hidden behind the foldable screen on the inside.

Like with the camera setup, we don’t see any kind of improvements on the battery hardware. You are still getting a modest 4,400 mAh cell(s) with 25W fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and 4.5W reversed wireless charging.
