The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 (stylized as Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6) is a foldable smartphone developed by Samsung Electronics. officially announced on July 10, 2024, at the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris, France, alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Watch 7 Series, Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Series, and Samsung Galaxy Ring. It is the successor to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and became available on July 31, 2024.[1][2][3][4][5]

Design

[edit]

Compared to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 features a more squared-off frame design. The main camera has been upgraded to 50 megapixels, and the camera rings are color-matched to the device’s body. The cover screen now supports resizable widgets, allowing multiple widgets to be displayed on a single page. [6][7] Internally, a Vapor Chamber(VC) cooling system has been added to improve thermal management capabilities. The cover screen and back panel are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, while the inner display uses Samsung’s ultra-thin flexible glass, known as UTG. The device holds an IP48 rating, making it the first foldable smartphone with certified dust protection. The frame is constructed from Armor Aluminum, without the titanium frame used in the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The device's clamshell design also enables Flex Mode, which supports split-screen interactions when partially folded.[8][9]

Colors

[edit]

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is available in seven colors: Blue, Silver Shadow, Mint, Yellow, Crafted Black, White and Peach. Crafted Black, White, and Peach are online-exclusive variants, with Crafted black featuring a carbon fiber pattern finish.[10][11][12]

Flex Mode enables the device to stay partially folded at various stable angles, typically between 75 and 115 degrees.

This configuration allows users to interact with media or multitask without fully unfolding the device.[13][14][15]

Flex Cam builds on Flex Mode by enhancing camera functionality for hands-free use. When the device is partially folded and positioned at a stable angle—such as on a table or shelf—users can take selfies, group shots, or record videos without manually holding the phone. Example use cases include static camera setups for video recording or remote communication. Additional features include automatic framing to maintain subject alignment, voice-activated capture for touch-free operation, and live camera previews via the cover display.[15][16]
