First Impressions
Samsung says that both devices are the lightest and slimmest foldable in the Galaxy Z series yet. While we didn’t get alot of spec bumps on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, the device seemed to focus alot more on the new tech used to make the display to reduce the creasing. And from first-time use, you can barely notice the creasing at all.
The most notable upgrade was the processor as the Z Fold 6 now packs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 designed to give it the latest kind of high-level performance. With the chipset’s upgraded GPU, the device now features ray-tracing which is a feature designed to make gaming more immersive and realistic.
The device also comes with a new hinge structure designed to give the phone a flatter profile and reduce the curvature around the corners. This is meant to make the Z Fold 6 more dust-tight.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 also packs the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance. The most notable upgrade for this device is the 50MP camera that replaces the 12MP on the Z Flip 5. It also sees several AI-powered features like smart replies that are customized for the phone’s cover screen.
