Galaxy Unpacked 2024: Samsung has launched many products in its Unpacked 2024 event. These also include Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Samsung’s foldable and flip smartphones are quite popular around the world and Samsung has dominated the foldable space for many years. However, now many foldable smartphones other than Samsung have also come in the market, so now the company will have to compete with other companies as well.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 First Impressions
The design of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 has changed a lot compared to the old Fold. It cannot be said that the entire design has changed, but this time there is a lot of new things. Now it looks more boxy and the cover display is more practical and useful than before. The reason is that the size of the cover display has been made slightly bigger.
The camera module is the same as before, but this time more work has been done on detailing. It feels better to hold than before and it is also easy to fold and unfold it. You can fold and unfold it with just one hand, but most of the time you have to use both hands.
Talking about the specifications, it has Qualcomm’s flagship processor which is also given in the company’s other flagships like Galaxy S24 Ultra. The screen of the phone is 7.6 inches and it looks like a mini tab when opened. The crease is still there, but it is not visible due to the display being on.
The phone is not heavy and the company has claimed that this is the thinnest foldable phone launched by the company till date. Usually when you use a foldable phone, it feels like you are carrying two phones together, but this is not the case with this. The phone is slim and it has become even better, but it would have been better if it was made even slimmer, because now thin foldable smartphones have started coming in the market.
Productivity has always been the specialty of foldable. This time the company has provided AI powered productivity features. Smart Select and Sketch to Image feature is interesting. Even if you do not know how to sketch or draw well, there is no problem. You can sketch or draw as you wish, after this you will get the option to generate which will improve the drawing and sketch done by you.
I have tried this feature for a long time and every time the result has been great. If you are an artist or like to sketch then this feature will make you crazy.
The generative edit feature is also great and the air command also works with the S Pen, which becomes very interesting. During calling, you also get the option of live translation. That is, if the caller is talking to you in French, then it will be translated live and you will hear his voice in your own language. The interpreter feature is also great.
Galaxy Z Flip 6 First Impressions
Talking about Galaxy Z Flip 6, it has been launched in blue, yellow, silver and mint colors. It has a dual rail hinge. The company claims that it will provide more durability.
The cover display of this flip phone is more practical than the older generation, as the display area is now a bit bigger. It supports Flex Window. The wallpaper of the cover display can be generated through generative AI. Good work has been done on wallpaper personalization.
This time, this phone has a 50 megapixel high resolution camera and it also has AI powered portrait and auto zoom feature. One special feature that Insta users will like very much is its Instagram night mode. Apart from this, there is also a camcorder grip for line videos.
The battery of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is 4,000mAh and it also has Qualcomm’s flagship processor which is also found in the Fold and Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The company has also provided Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for display protection here, which makes the display stronger. Both the phones will get security updates for up to 7 years.
Talking about the overall design, there is not much change compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 5, but it feels better to hold than before and on looking carefully one can understand that this is a new Flip. From a distance, most people will not be able to differentiate between the new and the old Flip.
Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6 AI Features
Samsung has given many AI based features in Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 which makes it even more practical. The best example is that if you do not know someone’s language, then you can easily understand the language spoken by someone by translating it using the front and back screen. That is, there is no language barrier. The good thing is that it has a real time translation feature and it is on the device, that is, it does not require internet. You just have to download the language pack once from the internet.
Note Assist feature is also very practical and here the fee feature of assist is given. There is also PDF overlay feature. While browsing the web, this phone will also give you translation and summary of the page using AI.
There is also a circle to search feature, which means if you need information about anything, you have to circle it and you will be told about it through Google search. Apart from this, the QR Code overlay feature is also useful.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 is full of productivity features. It supports S Pen. However, you will have to buy S Pen separately because there is no slot for S Pen in it. The mobile cover also comes with S Pen, that is, you will put the cover on the mobile and can insert the S Pen in the cover itself.
