The Flip 6 Samsung Phone: Battery Life, Specs, Camera & More

The Flip 6 Samsung phone is the newest addition to both the Samsung Galaxy Z flip range and the foldable phone market, alongside other recent launches such as the Motorola Razr Plus.

Made to match the performance of Samsung's flagship Galaxy S24 device, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 officially launched in July 2024. Although designed to be an affordable alternative to the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the Flip costs significantly more than previous models, costing over $1,700. But does it offer the upgraded hardware and software to justify this price tag?

Keep reading as we take a deeper dive into the key specs of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, including enhanced durability, an upgraded Snapdragon chip processor, and the new AI features that improve the functionality of this foldable phone.

Galaxy AI Features

Alongside the Z Flip 6, Fold 6, Watch 7, and brand-new Galaxy Ring, one of the biggest announcements of the January 2024 Galaxy Unpacked event was the introduction of Samsung's Galaxy AI features. Originally launched on the S24, Galaxy AI also plays a key role on the new Z Flip 6 device, using even more advanced capabilities to process text and images.

Here are some of the key AI features you'll find on the Z Flip 6:

• Interpreter App: This displays two different languages on the screen when your device is in FlexMode. Make a call with Live Translate and benefit from real-time voice translations.
• Chat Assist: Send messages directly from the FlexWindow even when your device is closed, without needing to type a thing – simply choose one of the Suggested Replies.
• Transcript Assist: Record conversations over the phone and quickly transcribe them into editable text with just the touch of the screen.
• Photo Assist: Move, resize, or completely delete objects from your photos. You can then fill in the background where they used to be to create the perfect portrait. Use the instant slow-mo feature or give your photos added depth with Live Effect.
• Google Gemini: Samsung has partnered with Google to bring Galaxy Z users the Gemini Android app, an AI assistant that provides help with writing, summarising information, making plans, and using the cameras.
• Circle to Search: Draw a circle around a text or image and your device will automatically display Google results.
• Health and Wellness Tracking: Sync multiple Galaxy devices, such as the Galaxy Watch 7 or Galaxy Ring, to monitor your health stats on the go. For example, keep track of your daily Energy Score through Samsung Health.

Camera

What's great about the upgraded camera system of the Z Flip 6 is that it harnesses the power of Galaxy AI to zoom in and out with the new auto-zoom feature. Using the FlexWindow, it then shows you a preview of your photo for a hands-free selfie experience.

As well as the 12 MP ultra-wide camera that is a trademark of the Flip series, the new 50MP wide rear camera is designed to take stunning portraits. This is also the most powerful of any Samsung Galaxy Z flip phone, thanks to its 2x optical quality zoom.

Plus, Nightography mode makes it easy to capture detailed scenes with the ProVisual Engine, which processes your photos to create richer portraits and optimised image quality.

Better Battery Life

An important addition to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is the 4000 mAh battery, which addresses complaints about previous models and offers the best battery life on a Z Flip phone yet.

300mAh more battery capacity than the Z flip 5 means that you can watch videos for up to 23 hours or listen to music for an incredible 68 hours without needing to recharge your phone for an all-day battery life.

This is all thanks to the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile processor that also features on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is designed to elevate device performance with advanced central and graphic processing units.

The processor also provides 7 years of software updates and security support, compared to 4 years for the Galaxy Z Flip 5.

Design

Despite being the same weight as its predecessor, the Flip 6 is the most compact design in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip range. Compared to the Flip 5, the Flip 6 has a new floating design, which gives the impression of a cover display that almost floats on the frame.

It features a slightly thinner cover screen that makes it even more pocket-friendly when closed, and is available in a variety of colours, including mint, yellow, blue, and silver shadow. You'll also find a range of online exclusive colours, including white, peach, and crafted black.

When it comes to durability, the FlexHinge feature of this foldable phone is tested and verified to survive 200,000 folds, which is equivalent to around 10 years of use. The exterior is built with a tough Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 material and an enhanced Armour Aluminium frame for extra protection.

While the Galaxy Z Flip 6 features the same IP48 water resistance as previous models, meaning that your device can survive submersion in up to 5 feet of fresh water for 30 minutes, it also offers a new dust resistance rating.

Protecting Your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6

Although the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 prioritises durability with these features, it isn't completely bulletproof. With foldable phones, the delicate hinge mechanism is at risk of breaking if dropped from a significant height, while the large main screen and cover display remain vulnerable to scratches and cracks.

Investing in a shockproof phone case for your device is therefore essential if you'd like to make the most of Samsung's phone launches, including new Galaxy AI features, enhanced quality camera, and improved battery life of the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
