Is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 any better than the Galaxy Z Flip 5? We compared the cameras on both to see if the latest phone can take a much-needed win.
Samsung ’s latest folding smartphones are basically the same as the last models, right? Well, in the case of the Galaxy Z Flip 6, there are some interesting camera changes when you compare it directly with the Galaxy Z Flip 5, but how much have they improved the photos you take with the phone?
Outside of the camera hardware, there are other changes that may make a greater difference. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and Samsung’s ProVisual Engine working behind the scenes to optimize photos, while the Galaxy Z Flip 5 has Qualcomm’s last top chip inside, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. There are various Galaxy AI modes for the camera on the Z Flip 6, but we’re not going to go into those in this test.
Main camera The main camera on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 may be different from the one on the Galaxy Z Flip 5, but do not expect dramatic differences in the photos. In many conditions, the two cameras take extremely similar photos, but the more you look, the more you’ll see where Samsung has made improvements.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 also improves on focus, as you can see in the third photo, where the Z Flip 5 can’t decide where to focus and ends up making a mess of the image. The Z Flip 6 intelligently made sure the items in the foreground were in focus, resulting in a more attractive photo. The colors and contrast are more natural in the Z Flip 6’s photo too.
It’s one of those situations where I’d like a mix of the two photos. The Z Flip 5’s photo has more noise and isn’t as sharp as the Z Flip 6’s wide-angle shot, but the contrast and colors are more visually pleasing. The differences never make the Z Flip 6’s wide-angle camera consistently better than the Z Flip 5’s camera, so this will be a draw.
