Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Overview 

Design and Build

  • Dimensions & Weight:
    • Folded: 71.9 x 85.1 x 1491mm
    • Unfolded: 71.9 x 165.1 x 6.9mm
    • 187g
  • IP Rating: Yes, IP48

First up, let’s talk design. The Z Flip 6 doesn’t reinvent the wheel but brings some solid updates. What I mean is … Samsung has worked enough to make the overall design a bit more robust than before. Especially, the new IP48 dust and water resistance has already come in handy during this monsoon season.

Also, I found the hinge to be stronger as well, thanks to the new reinforced aluminum. In my usage, none of the Samsung Flip or Fold phones I have used have ever lost the rigidity of their hinges. And I love the fact that the Flip 6 stands at any angle you would like it to, so whether you are trying to take a creative picture or video of yourself, it will firmly stand still.

The design is also a little different than before – the frames are boxier now and I think the grip is better this way. I have also got to appreciate that even though this phone has a larger battery inside and Samsung has included a vapor chamber cooling system, they have been able to keep the weight in check and actually match it to that of the Flip 5 (187 grams), which is impressive.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 cover display

So, every year, I use all the flip phones that launch, and Samsung’s Flip series always sticks out to me. I love the software, I love the build quality and overall experience, but this year, I really wished they did things a bit differently.  For instance, I would have loved it if they had provided a little more on the cover screen. I wish Samsung had made it a little bigger like the competition. It’s practically the same as the Flip 5’s screen, so maybe Samsung could have worked on the aspect ratio a little bit.

But, there are a few things that Samsung has added on the cover screen, functionality-wise, like you can stack more widgets along with including a few new AI features like Ambient wallpaper but that aside, I think the entire idea of having a cover screen is to be able to do most of the things without having to unfold the device.  Like, although I can access the quick toggle settings from here, I cannot customize it, so if I have to turn on hotspot or use Quickshare, I will HAVE TO unfold the Flip 6.  And the cover display is still not as bright as the main one, meaning, under direct sunlight, the visibility can take a hit sometimes. I think an anti-reflective coating, like we get on S24 Ultra would have been great.

Talking about the main display, I don’t have many complaints though! It’s a big bright vivid Samsung display that looks amazing. Yes, I am not going to lie, there is a crease and you can see, touch, and feel it. I know, Samsung could have worked to minimize it but, in my usage, there were very few instances where I was actually bothered by it, so, honestly, I chose to ignore it’s existence altogether.

Besides that, interacting with this display is a great experience, the vibration feedback is great, the touch response is amazing and the speakers are nice, loud and balanced too. Again, they are slightly inferior to the S24, but they do the job right, so no complaints.

Performance

  • Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy (4nm)

Anyway, one of the other changes that Samsung has brought around this year is the inclusion of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, so power-wise wise there is no compromise. Then again, even though this phone can play most games with good fps and stability, its form factor is a little weird for gaming and yes, it heats up as well.

I know there is a vapor chamber cooling inside which Samsung says is as big as the S23 Ultra’s, but it’s only there on the top half of the phone, so when you play Genshin Impact for like 30 minutes or run a demanding benchmark or shoot 4k videos under direct sunlight, the temperatures will rise above 45 degrees, especially on the lower half.

Battery and Charging

  • Batter and Charging: 4000 mAh with 25W charger

With that said, I am so delighted to report that Samsung has fixed the biggest issue with Flip phones this time, the battery life! I could finally get an entire day of usage out of this phone under normal circumstances. Meaning, doing my regular work, I was able to get almost 6 hours of SOT on it, which, in my opinion, is a huge leap for a clamshell foldable like this one.

To put things into perspective, that is the same kind of backup I got when I used the S24, so if not anything else, I am happy about the battery life here. The overnight battery drain is also around 2% only, so that’s a plus.

However, you have to know that charging is still stuck at 25 watts here and the Z Flip 6 takes a little more time than its predecessor to get fully charged. (1 hour 35 minutes on Flip 6 vs  1 hour 26 minutes on Z flip 5)

Software

  • Android 14, One UI 6.1.1

Other than that, the Z Flip 6 will give you a basic Samsung phone experience. You are getting clean software, 7 years of OS commitment and all the AI stuff inherited from the Galaxy S24 series plus a few newer ones.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 ui

Like everyone else, my favorite is this Live Interpreter feature, where the Z Flip 6 makes full use of the cover screen and flex mode to translate languages. I am someone who travels a lot, so this feature can come quite handy. The other one that I frequently make use of is the AI voice summary that summarizes my voice notes into meaningful pointers. I generally use it when planning for videos to jot down random ideas.

The Sketch to Image feature is also quite interesting, where you scribble a drawing on the screen and AI makes it better. But, I really like the fact that Samsung gives you the choice to use all these AI features on the device itself, so you don’t have to worry about your data being sent to random servers and back. There actually is a separate setting which you can turn on for this. I guess that is the reason Samsung has upped the RAM from 8 to 12GB this time because processing all these things does require a lot of on device memory.

Also, using these AI features do not require an internet connection, so I am happy to see that Samsung is working to maintain the privacy of their users to some extent.

Camera

  • Rear Camera: Dual-camera
    – 50MP, f/1.8 primary sensor
    – 12MP, f/2.2 ultra-wide lens
  • Front Camera: 10MP, f/2.4 aperture

Okay, finally, let’s talk about the cameras and even though there is a slight improvement in the primary camera, I am not entirely satisfied with the overall camera experience on this phone. Its not because Samsung didn’t bother to include their best camera tech like big 200MP sensor or a 100X telephoto lens, but for some reason, the color optimization is also different.

The Flip 6’s photos remind me of the punchy and contrasty output that we used to get on old Samsung S series phones 2 years ago, while right now with the S23 and S24 series, Samsung has moved towards a more natural kind of processing.

Now, don’t get me wrong, the cameras on the Z Flip 6 are good, with nice details and striking colors. And because of the 50MP sensor, it is able to gather more light and produce bright images during the night too. And, the high res selfies that you can take from the cover screen here are pure love!

But, the major miss for me, apart from the color optimizations, are also two things. No 1, there is no basic Telephone lens, which means I am stuck with clicking 1x portraits only, and No 2, you still don’t get some flagship features like being able to switch between the lenses while recording at 4k 60 fps.

What I am trying to say is, with the Z Flip 6, you will get a decent enough cameras, but you will not be able to enjoy all the perks of a flagship camera which is something I really hope to see improve in the next generation of Flip phones from Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Review: Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Improved build quality and hinge
  • Brighter main display
  • Upgraded 50MP main camera
  • Improved performance

Cons:

  • Small cover display
  • Slow 25W charging
  • Frame drops during intensive gaming
  • Lacks telephoto lens

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Review: Final Thoughts

So, is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 worth it? If you’re already using a Z Flip 5 or an older foldable, the upgrades here are incremental rather than revolutionary. But if you’re coming from an older device or are new to foldable, the Z Flip 6 offers a refined and more durable experience with some meaningful improvements. It’s definitely a strong contender in the foldable space. And yeah … for the best deals and pre-order perks, don’t forget to check out Hukut Store.

Apple’s foldable iPad could be coming as early as 2026

Although practically every smartphone maker has entered the foldable market by now, Apple has been a no-show in this segment so far. And even if foldable iPhones have been rumoured for quite some time now, it seems that Apple might kick things off with a foldable iPad instead. Let’s find out more.

Apple Foldable iPad Rumors Round-up

Dilly-Dally

It is not the first time we heard that Apple is working on a foldable device. The launch date for a folding Apple device has been pushed so many times it’s nearing a decade mark. We started hearing about it back in 2017 and the company was apparently granted the patent for folding phones in 2019. But to no avail!

All this dilly-dally makes us wonder if folding iPhones and iPads is really happening… This time, the answer seems to be yes! The multi-trillion-dollar tech giant seems to have settled on the route they want to take with their foldables. Also, Apple likes to do things their way — slow, but meticulous. So, it doesn’t come as a surprise that they are taking their sweet time either.

The Route

So, it seems the folding iPhone will be a clamshell device like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series. Meanwhile, the iPad will be holding the role of bookstyle foldable instead. Similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 5, the Pixel Fold, the OnePlus Open, etc.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5

Foldable iPad Display

According to The Elec (a South Korean media), Apple is considering LG Display and Samsung Display for its folding iPad and iPhone. And it seems the company has been developing an 18.8-inch foldable OLED panel for an iPad (or it could be for a Macbook too). Apple is working with both partners to ensure that the crease also stays to a minimum.

Hinge

Similarly, reports suggest that Apple is pretty stringent about the hinge for its foldable iPad. Apple is still finalizing the hinge design, aiming for simplicity compared to most modern foldable phones. Reports suggest Apple’s latest prototype consists of 885 parts. The company is currently looking to simplify the design, reducing the number of parts in the hinge, and making the manufacturing process more cost-effective.

Implications

The market of foldables has been pretty stagnant in recent years. Samsung is miles ahead of everyone else in terms of influence. At the same time, the rest of the companies have been pushing innovation. For instance, Honor managed to cram a 4,800 mAh battery in the Magic Flip V, which is comparable capacity to regular phones. Likewise, OnePlus created a near-crease-free display and absolutely nailed the bookstyle foldable with OnePlus Open. However, Samsung doesn’t feel nearly threatened for them to change anything. This is much more evident when you realise that they barely changed anything in the Z Fold series in the last three years.

Apple vs Samsung

Now one may love or hate Apple, but they are surely the heaviest hitter in the tech world. They have so much influence in the market, that even Samsung likes to emulate them. Removing of headphone jack and charger in the box, returning to a boxy design, introducing a titanium build, etc. are some examples of trends that Samsung straight-up copied from Apple. So, if the American company really enters the foldable market, it could finally get Z Fold maker’s gear churning. This at the end of the day will be good for us customers — we like good sports!

Apple Foldable iPad Expected Release Date

As per the latest report by analyst Jeff Pu, Apple’s foldable iPad/MacBook hybrid is expected to debut in the second quarter of 2026. The foldable iPhone is expected to arrive by the end of 2026. It’s plausible that it will be announced alongside the iPhone 18 series, with its market release beginning toward the end of 2026.

OpenAI’s new tool to detect writing from ChatGPT

AI has taken the internet by storm, like a new app everyone’s suddenly obsessed with. In response to this surge, OpenAI has developed a tool that can detect the texts written by ChatGPT. In this article, we will talk in detail about this new AI detection tool from OpenAI and its effectiveness.

OpenAI’s new AI detector

Watermarking method for ChatGPT’s writing detection

As per the company, OpenAI has developed a text watermarking method that adds a hidden mark to their text. However, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, the company is still deciding whether to make this tool available as they are also considering the risks. These include the possibility of people finding ways to remove the mark and also the chance that it might affect certain groups, like people who don’t speak English.

This is not the first time OpenAI has come up with an AI detection tool. Last year they shut down their previous text detector – “AI classifier” due to its low rate of accuracy. However, it is said that this time the approach would be different.

Chatgpt

The watermarking method would only target writing generated by ChatGPT, not by other companies’ models. This method involves subtly altering how ChatGPT chooses words, creating an invisible watermark in the text that a specialized tool can later identify.

The company says they have found that text watermarking is effective for catching changes made to the text locally, like rephrasing. However, it struggles with more global changes, such as using translation tools, changing the text with another AI model, or inserting and then removing special characters between words.

OpenAI AI Detector: Effectiveness

Someday using AI to write will be akin to using a calculator. While ChatGPT already has strong competitors like Copilot, Gemine, and Claudie, the idea of developing a tool to detect AI-generated text from OpenAI and exploring watermarking seems like digging your own grave and falling in.

On the one hand, this idea could be proven good in maintaining academic integrity and creating responsible users. On the other, this new method will only detect the content generated by ChatGPT, so using a tool like Quilt Bot and simply paraphrasing the idea is like a piece of cake to many.
