The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is one of 2024's newest and hottest folding flip phones. But how much better is it than the Galaxy Z Flip 5? We found out for you.
The dust has settled and the wraps have been taken off at Galaxy Unpacked. Among many other devices, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is finally official, and we’re still reeling. Samsung ’s newest flip phone has finally closed the power gap between it and Samsung ’s other flagship phones and added a new camera system. While past Z Flip phones have been capable devices by most metrics, the Z Flip 6 adds true flagship power.
Samsung has added some additional durability, though. The Z Flip 6 now has an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance. That means it has the same water resistance as the Z Flip 5, but with additional protection against dust . Upgrades to Armor Aluminum and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 also mean it’s tougher against bumps and drops. And it’s also slightly thinner and lighter than before.
Funnily enough, the same can be said about the Z Flip 5. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 may be last year’s processor, but it’s no slouch in its own right. While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is definitely going to be a faster piece of kit, the difference between the two won’t be massive, and in real-life use, you may not notice any at all.
We still have to see how the Z Flip 6 holds up in our review, but the upgraded processor and the larger battery are big improvements that should give the Flip 6 a decent edge. While we’ve yet to take the Z Flip 6’s camera for a spin, we love the new main lens on other phones, and we’re very excited to see it here.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 vs. Z Flip 5: price and availability Unfortunately, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be priced higher, starting at $1,100. For context, that’s $100 more expensive than the Galaxy Z Flip 5. It is currently available for preorder and will be released on July 24.
