Samsung's New Foldable Phones: Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 - Improved Durability, Larger Batteries, and Better Cameras

On July 10, 2024, Samsung announced the release of the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 at an event in Paris, France. These foldable phones have reached reliability and performance levels comparable to premium flagship smartphones. The tablet-style foldable phones offer large screens for activities requiring a larger display while maintaining portability, while flip-phone style foldables offer the same experience as standard smartphones with half the size.

The Z Fold6 is only 1.6 times thicker than the Galaxy S24 Plus, and the Z Flip6 is 1.9 times thicker. The foldable display and hinge technologies have been perfected through five generations, making them more durable and reliable. The devices are equipped with a larger battery and better cameras than their predecessors.

The Galaxy Z Flip6 has a brushed titanium frame, dual rail hinge, resizable widgets on the cover screen, new cameras with 50MP wide lens, 12MP ultrawide lens, and 12MP telephoto lens. The foldable screen on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 looks notably smoother compared to the Flip 5.

The Z Fold6 features a customization software that allows users to create their own unique layouts on the cover screen. It also has a larger 4,000-mAh battery, which Samsung managed to pack into a slimmer design measuring 12.1mm (0.48 in) when folded closed.

The devices should also be more durable than their predecessors with an IP48 rating for water and dust resistance. Samsung Care+ is available for free during preorders, and most retailers offer a free storage upgrade.

    The article contains some editorializing and selective reporting. The author expresses her personal opinions about the new Samsung devices, focusing on their improvements over the previous models. She also mentions her excitement about certain features and implies that these devices are worth preordering. However, she does not provide any factual evidence to support these claims beyond her subjective experience with the devices during a hands-on event.
    • During my hands-on, the resizable widgets allowed me to see the weather, my health tracking stats and more on this small screen.
    • I could see myself carrying this device around New York City, especially in that new Barbie pink color.
    • I was able to preview the Flip 6 in the mint color, and although I would have liked to see the back plate match the frame, it still looks pretty polished and spiffy.
    • I snapped some test photos with the device and saw improvement compared to my Flip 5 camera–the test subjects looked clearer and more detailed when I zoomed in.
    • It's a smart choice. One of my biggest complaints about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is that it's just plain heavy.

    The article does not contain any formal fallacies but does contain some informal fallacies and dichotomous depictions. The author presents foldable smartphones as a viable option for consumers without acknowledging that they still represent a niche market and have not yet reached mainstream adoption.
    • . . . the latest Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 announced Wednesday may start to change that.
    • The reliability and performance of these phones are reaching the level of today's premium flagship smartphones, making it worthwhile for consumers to take a closer look.
    • The displays didn't last long. Early devices were thick and heavy. Folding was imperfect, with an ugly, visible gap around the hinge. And their performance, especially camera and battery life, was inferior to that of flagship smartphones.
