    Samsung's Galaxy Flip series has been praised for its compact size and versatility in its unique design language, which blends technology and fashion, making it a highly sought-after digital staple in urban lifestyle. Recently, Samsung launched the new Galaxy Z Flip6 folding screen phone, which brings a series of exciting upgrades. In terms of performance, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is not only equipped with the flagship-level third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform (for Galaxy) for the first time in a vertical small folding phone, but also greatly improves the body's cooling and imaging capabilities. In addition, the Galaxy Z Flip6 is also better integrated with AI, introducing a number of useful AI features to further enhance the user experience.

Thinner and sleeker design

    First of all, in terms of size, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is only 71.9 x 85.1 x 14.9mm in the folded state, making it easy to hold and easy to carry in a pocket or small bag, effectively solving the problem of inconvenience of traditional straight phones. And the super closed Seiko hinge and upgraded structure of this mobile phone can make the mobile phone screen have a better closing effect, and give the hinge a very excellent damping feeling.

    Secondly, in terms of weight, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is extremely well controlled this time, weighing only 187g. The lightweight design is not only suitable for long-term use in the hand, but it will not pull and fall even in the summer when it is placed in the trouser pocket, so this small and lightweight Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 phone is sure to be loved by female users.

    In addition to the lightweight design, Samsung has also injected more fashion elements into the new Galaxy Z Flip6 in terms of color matching, bringing a total of seven colors to choose from: Starry Night Silver, Summer Foam Blue, Love Yellow, Green Mint, Time and Space Black, Vanilla White, and Peach Pink. The colorful color scheme can better match different styles of clothing, especially the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 "green mint" color scheme in the picture, which is very suitable for this summer's atmosphere, giving people a fresh, light feeling. And the refreshing color is not only eye-catching, but also shows the fashion taste.

    When the outer screen is lit up, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 still brings a stunning visual experience. This generation's large-field smart screen is still 3.4 inches the same as the previous generation, but its folder-shaped special-shaped screen design is still recognizable among many small folding phones. The outer screen adopts a Super AMOLED screen with 720*748 resolution, which supports up to 120Hz refresh rate, showing a clear and delicate display effect when actually used.

    In terms of the configuration of the inner screen, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 uses a 6.7-inch second-generation dynamic AMOLED screen, with 2640*1080 resolution, and supports 120Hz adaptive refresh rate.

    In other aspects, the Galaxy Z Flip6 is the first foldable screen phone in Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip series to be equipped with vapor chamber cooling technology, which can quickly dissipate heat and effectively control the temperature, ensuring the stability of the phone during high-load operation. In addition, in terms of battery, this time the Galaxy Z Flip6 has reached a new milestone, with a battery capacity of 4000mAh, which allows users to enjoy longer battery life.

    It is worth mentioning that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6's large-field smart display has a very diverse range of functions, allowing you to quickly switch between various widgets, such as weather forecasts, schedules, alarms, and timers. In addition, it is compatible with commonly used third-party apps, such as WeChat and Douyin, allowing users to easily browse social media content on the external screen. Especially when using WeChat on the external screen, with the newly added suggested reply function, it can also intelligently analyze our common replies and quickly provide three most suitable reply options when busy to achieve convenient one-click reply.

    And the Galaxy Z Flip6, supported by AI technology, is also able to analyze the user's wallpaper and make suggestions for the screen layout. For example, it can suggest the position of the moving clock, adjust the color of the photo frame to highlight the characteristics of the wallpaper, and help us easily create an overall more beautiful interface design, which is not only more diverse in terms of functions, but also provides more personalized customization options in terms of user experience.

The first small foldable phone with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform

     The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 redefines the performance standards of small folding phones, completely changing people's perception of the uselessness of small folding devices, and is the world's first vertical small folding screen phone using Qualcomm's third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform (for Galaxy). The platform adopts advanced 4nm process technology and a new 1+5+2 core architecture, including a super core with a frequency of up to 3.3GHz, five performance cores with a frequency of 3.2GHz and two efficiency cores with a frequency of 2.3GHz, bringing a 30% increase in CPU performance and a 20% improvement in energy efficiency, resulting in longer battery life and higher energy efficiency ratio. At the same time, GPU performance has been improved by 25%, and the performance of ray tracing has been improved by 40%, making the gaming experience smoother and more realistic.

    According to the actual running score results, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 reached nearly 1.95 million points in the test of the Antutu V10.2 version, especially in terms of GPU performance, with more than 770,000 points, showing its ability to easily cope with all kinds of large-scale mobile games. In the GeekBench 6 test, the phone's single-core score exceeded 2000 points, and the multi-core score reached 7223 points, which is an unexpectedly good performance for a thin and light small folding phone.

"Honor of Kings" supports 120fps extremely high frame rate mode

    In the popular mobile game "Honor of Kings", the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 can turn on the graphics option of HD quality plus a very high 120 frame rate. The Galaxy Z Flip6 was able to monitor the frame rate of the Galaxy Z Flip6's game games with PerfDog support, and the device performed very well in one game, with a stable average frame rate of 120 frames, which was fully smooth at full frames, and the frame rate curve was smooth.

It's a small foldable and an AI phone

     In addition to the hardware upgrade, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 also brings more convenient and practical new features based on Galaxy AI technology in terms of user experience. For example, while not everyone has the talent to draw, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6's new graffiti feature makes it easy for even a handicapped person to become an artist.

     It's also very simple, with the phone being able to intelligently generate images based on a few simple sketches, and there are different painting styles to choose from, making the creative process a breeze. And from the actual experience, the Galaxy Z Flip6 can really "guess" the intention I want to paint very intelligently and accurately, for example, it is summer now, so I thought of the lotus pond, so the sketch above uses a few ellipses to represent the leaves. As a result, with the help of AI, the graffiti sketch function understands my intentions very well, feels the ideas I want to express, and creates a satisfying work.

    For portrait photos taken by mobile phones, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6's AI technology can intelligently convert selfies or portraits into a variety of styles, such as 3D cartoon, business style, cyberpunk, etc., to easily create personalized photo effects.

The AI removal of photos is also very intelligent

The picture taken can be the position of a moving object or person

    Powered by AI technology, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 also has a series of intelligent photo assistant features, such as generative editing, which can intelligently remove unnecessary elements from photos and intelligently repair the frame to ensure that photos are cleaner and more beautiful. In addition, it intelligently cuts out the selected subject, allowing the user to move the position of the subject in the photo, making it easy to achieve a better composition. These features make it easier to edit and beautify photos in everyday shots, whether it's removing unwanted background elements or optimizing the visual presentation of photos by adjusting the position of the subject.

You can translate it by directly circling it

    In addition, the instant circle search function of Samsung Galaxy series mobile phones has been praised by many users, and the AI intelligent circle function is also very practical in daily life or office, such as when browsing English content on Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6, you can directly circle the corresponding paragraph and quickly translate it into Chinese, and it can automatically identify different paragraphs, which is very convenient.

    In addition, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 can also take advantage of the foldable screen form factor to translate face-to-face in real time, allowing both parties to clearly view the translated content on the home screen and the external screen, further promoting face-to-face communication, and the translation speed is faster than expected. This is very helpful for traveling or doing business abroad, and can significantly improve the efficiency and convenience of communication.

It is equipped with a new 50-megapixel main camera

    The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has also been upgraded a lot in terms of imaging, although it is still a rear dual-camera combination, but the main camera lens has been significantly improved, from the 12 million pixel sensor used in previous generations to the same 50 million pixel sensor as the Galaxy S24, and has a 2x optical quality zoom function, which makes the Galaxy Z Flip6's shooting ability greatly improved, and can take clearer and more detailed photos and video effects. At the same time, the phone's ultra-wide-angle lens remains at 12 million pixels, providing an excellent wide-angle field of view and bringing a wider shooting experience.

    From the live samples, it is clear that the Galaxy Z Flip6 continues Samsung's usual shooting style, and the 50 million pixels can indeed bring more detailed picture performance. Especially in the main daylight of the day, the main camera can capture sharper and sharper photos, and the details are very vivid. In addition, the Galaxy Z Flip6 is very accurate in terms of color reproduction, making photos look more realistic and natural, even in dim environments, capturing crisp and vivid images. It's fair to say that the Galaxy Z Flip6 delivers a satisfying image in the vast majority of scenes.

    In addition, although the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 doesn't have a telephoto, its 2X optical quality zoom results are not much different from a real 2X lens, and it can also capture very clear images with color reproduction. And with the support of AI and Samsung's Super Vision Engine, even with the 4X or 10X zoom mode, you can get a satisfactory photo of both the slender guardrail and the close-up of the flower, and there is no smear at all; This time, I often used the telephoto mode when shooting sample shots, but there was no obvious sense of separation at the image quality level and the native focal length of the 1X, so I forgot for a while that the Galaxy Z Flip6 was a thin and light folding screen phone without a telephoto lens.

Video shooting supports HDR10+

    The Galaxy Z Flip6 also brings HDR video enhancement technology to video shooting, which enables powerful night shooting capabilities to capture more vivid and exciting video footage in dim light when HDR is turned on. Not only are the details of the picture clearer, but the details of the highlights and shadows can be better restored.

Summary:

    Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 continues to be a fashion pioneer in the foldable phone space with its sleek and thin appearance, and as the first small foldable phone to be equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform (for Galaxy), it is also completely flagship in terms of performance. More importantly, this time, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 also brings users a more practical and mature intelligent experience through a series of AI innovative functions, and more importantly, it sets a new benchmark for the industry for the deep integration of AI and folding screen mobile phones, providing users with a more intelligent operation experience and personalized services.
