On the evening of July 17, Samsung held a launch event in China, officially introducing the Chinese versions of Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. These two new products are Samsung's sixth-generation foldable phones, with upgrades in both design and functionality.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is only 5.6mm thick when unfolded and 12.1mm when folded, weighing 239 grams. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 weighs 187 grams, is 6.9mm thick when unfolded, and has a 6.7-inch inner screen. Both products have significantly improved in terms of thinness and lightness, becoming closer to regular slab phones.
In terms of appearance, both new devices continue Samsung's consistent square style, with all-metal materials and fine craftsmanship, giving a strong sense of technology and premium quality. The screen crease has been further optimized, becoming less noticeable.
AI functionality is a major highlight of these new products. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 continue many AI features from the S24 series, such as AI image cutout and real-time translation. The unique form factor of foldable screens also provides more room for AI features, such as optimizing the real-time translation experience using the dual-screen characteristics.
In terms of specifications, both new devices are equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 chip, offering powerful performance. Memory storage, camera, and other specifications also meet flagship standards.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Chinese version starts at 13,999 yuan, while the Galaxy Z Flip 6 starts at 7,999 yuan. Compared to their predecessors, the new products maintain a high-end positioning while offering more features without increasing the price.
Overall, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 have made significant progress in design, performance, and functionality, further narrowing the gap with traditional slab phones and enhancing practicality. Samsung hopes to consolidate its leading position in the foldable screen market through these two new products.
