Samsung has largely dominated the foldable market for the past six years. But with the release of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6, that's starting to change.
Hot on the heels of its Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung has launched its next generation of foldables with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. These new foldables are packed with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and plenty of RAM, they have powerful camera systems, and they come in a variety of colors.
Why? It’s literally the same phone as last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 5, with a slight bump in specs, a less prominent crease, and a colored ring around the cameras. When you factor in the price increase of $100 for barely any change in the hardware, well, it’s a bit tough to swallow. And if you want to go even further, the Razr Plus 2024 went to a 4-inch cover display this time, up from the previous 3.6-inch screen. It even has up to 165Hz refresh rate , which may be overkill for a small screen, but you really do get your money’s worth.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is slightly better this year One of my complaints about the Galaxy Z Fold series is that I don’t care for the tall and narrow display. Due to its dimensions, it is a bit awkward to use, and the keyboard feels more cramped than a typical smartphone keyboard. On the inside, you have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy and 12GB RAM again. Battery capacity did not change, nor did the charging speeds. But the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will still cost you at least $100 more than its predecessor.
