The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 was an excellent flip phone when it was released. But now that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is here, should you upgrade?
Samsung ’s latest foldables were far from its best-kept secrets. They were repeatedly spoiled by a barrage of leaks that left barely anything to our imagination. While that may have dampened the excitement for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the phones look promising and feature upgraded designs, better cameras, improved performance, and a sweeping range of AI features.
Samsung flattened out the frame on the sides last year, and not much has changed in that regard, apart from the finish. If you are coming from the Galaxy Z Flip 4, you may miss the rounder side rails . The Flip 6 also skips out on the titanium frame that the Galaxy S24 Ultra received earlier this year.
Other than these minor design improvements, there is no major change on the outside of the Galaxy Z Flip 6, which leads us to the next aspect — the display. To help its case, Samsung has added new interactive wallpapers for the cover screen, which respond to the movements of the phone and taps on the cover screen. It also includes new widgets. Considering these are software features, we expect them to also be available on the Galaxy Z Flip 5, though we can’t guarantee it.
Speaking of storage, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 starts with a base 256GB variant, compared to the 128GB on the Flip 4. The storage technology is upgraded, too. It now relies on a faster UFS 4.0 protocol, which translates to quicker loading of apps and better performance while gaming or using the camera, besides faster file transfers.
Galaxy Z Flip 6 vs. Galaxy Z Flip 4: battery and charging Battery is one area where the Galaxy Z Flip series has slacked behind other similarly sized phones in more traditional designs. With each iteration, Samsung has been bumping up the battery capacity, and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 gets yet another update. It now features a 4,000mAh battery, with a roughly 8% increment over the 3,700mAh pack on Flip 5 and Flip 4.
Galaxy Z Flip 6 vs. Galaxy Z Flip 4: cameras The camera is one of the areas where most foldables don’t shine bright , but Samsung is set out to change it this year. While the Fold 6 is getting new ultrawide and telephoto cameras, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 gets a new 50MP primary camera, which is the same as the Galaxy S24 and the S24 Plus phones. As we noticed in our Galaxy S24 Plus review, the primary camera has good results and has been optimized for natural color reproduction.
Galaxy Z Flip 6 vs. Galaxy Z Flip 4: software and updates Samsung has been bullish on AI features that were introduced with the Galaxy S24 series and gradually rolled out to older devices. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 will arrive with those standard Galaxy AI features, including Circle to Search and Live Translate. Certain other features under the umbrella of Samsung’s ProVisual Engine use AI to enhance shots by choosing the right frame, improving lighting, or focusing on faces in the frame.
