Small folding mobile phones have a folding method of use, and with the blessing of a larger external screen, they also have quite a variety of usage methods. This allows small folding mobile phones to occupy "half of the folding screen market".

Of course, small foldable phones also have some problems, such as poor battery life, insufficient performance, and insufficient performance in high-performance scenarios.

As the first brand to create a small foldable phone, Samsung has become more mature after several generations of product iterations. In the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 model, the appearance may not be much different from the previous generation, but there are still very significant changes in the internal materials, hardware specifications and AI. Today, let's talk about what changes the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has.

Appearance design: the texture of the frame is improved and the thickness is slightly reduced

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has undergone minor changes in appearance, maintaining the shape and size of the external screen of the previous generation. There are basically no noticeable changes when you use it.

From the data, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has been slimmed down, with the unfolded thickness remaining at 6.9mm, the closed thickness reduced from 15.1mm to 14.9mm, and the weight maintained at 187 grams. While slimming down, Samsung also increased the battery capacity from 3700mAh to 4000mAh.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has an excellent grip. It can be easily held in one hand when closed and can be placed in the pocket of jeans at will. It is very portable. The frame is made of reinforced armored aluminum and the surface is treated with a matte process. Compared with the previous generation of bright curved surface, the lines are more capable and the texture looks significantly improved. The fingerprint function continues to use the side physical fingerprint. Looking at the phone from the side, you can feel the high quality of workmanship, and it fits perfectly when closed.

The hinge part of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 continues to maintain top-notch hovering capabilities. The resistance is relatively large when the phone is unfolded, and the hovering angle support is wide. It can even maintain stable hovering at a large angle of 160 degrees. In short, it is very stable when hovering, and there is no need to worry about the phone suddenly opening or closing completely.

The outer screen size is 3.4 inches on paper. Because of the special-shaped screen, the actual usable area is about 95%, but the protruding part is not wasted and can accommodate the return button. The main usage of the outer screen is the adapted cards, music, calendar, alarm clock, and photo album.

There are relatively few apps that can be used on the external screen. You can use WeChat and Messages. Since the screen is wide enough, there is no pressure to use the full keyboard. The actual experience is no different from the internal screen. If you use the external screen to watch Tik Tok, the actual experience is limited because the external screen is not long enough.

The quality of the external screen is actually quite good. It uses the second-generation dynamic AMOLED, and the brightness has been increased to 2600 nits, but the resolution is slightly lower, only 720*748; the internal screen is 6.7 inches, and the panel is the same as the external screen, with a resolution of 2640*1080. It supports 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate.

To sum up, the design of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has not changed much, but there have been changes in the body material, the texture has been significantly improved, and the appearance has obviously evolved, which is in line with the concept of small folding phones being fashionable, smart and portable.

Configuration specifications: VC cooling is used for the first time. Battery capacity is increased to 4000mAh

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has top-notch configuration, and can even be said to be the most luxurious small folding phone currently, completely getting rid of the inherent impression of "beautiful little waste". It uses a customized third-generation Snapdragon (for Galaxy) processor, which is the so-called high-frequency version, and its performance is stronger than the Snapdragon flagship in the first half of the year.

Of course, the reason for the poor performance of small folding phones has never been the processor, but the heat dissipation. After all, the effective heat dissipation area of ​​small folding phones is mainly concentrated in the upper area, and the heat dissipation components are limited. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is equipped with a VC heat spreader for the first time, which significantly improves the heat transfer efficiency.

Another important upgrade point is memory. This time, Samsung has fully upgraded the 8GB RAM to 12GB RAM, which is very important for Flip6. After all, the Galaxy AI function requires more memory space to deploy large models.

Objectively speaking, running scores are not the strong point of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6. The AnTuTu benchmark shows a normal temperature running score of 1467806 points, which is about 25% lower than that of a straight-screen phone. Sustained high-performance output is obviously not what the small folding phone is good at. However, in a scenario with a shorter test time such as GeekBench6, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 performs very well, with a single-core score of 2222 points and a multi-core score of 6745 points, both of which are normal levels for high-end flagships. Judging from the running scores, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 does not have performance anxiety in most daily use scenarios. Only large-scale games with full 3D scenes may have performance risks for long-term use.

In actual game play, the average frame rate of Genshin Impact in ultra-high quality was 42.44 frames in 30 minutes. At the beginning of the game, it was able to reach a stable performance of 60 frames. The frame rate began to fluctuate around 1 and a half minutes, and this fluctuation also ran through the entire test. From the frame rate point of view, Samsung did not limit the frame rate, and it could occasionally return to a high frame rate, but in the end it continued to fluctuate due to thermal restrictions. Fortunately, there was no visually noticeable freeze, and such performance can already meet the normal gaming needs of users.

The power consumption during the whole game was 3.91W, with the highest temperature on the front being 44.6 degrees and the highest temperature on the back being 44.5 degrees. From the perspective of heat distribution, the heat is completely concentrated in the upper area, and the lower area is basically not involved in the heat dissipation, but the temperature is similar to that of a straight-screen phone. Obviously, adding VC heat dissipation is still helpful for the gaming experience, at least the Samsung Galaxy ZFlip6 can have a good gaming experience.

The battery capacity of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has been increased from 3700mAh to 4000mAh. The increase in battery capacity is very exciting, but the absolute value may still be small. In the three-hour battery life test of PChome, the remaining power was 56%; and coincidentally, the test result of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 was also the same. From the perspective of each sub-item, games are more power-consuming, but for small folding phones, games are not the main usage scenario, so the actual battery life performance is longer than what is reflected in the numbers.

In terms of fast charging, Samsung provides a 25W official charger this time. It takes 15 minutes to charge 29%, 30 minutes to charge 52%, 1 hour to charge to 87%, 92 minutes to charge to 100%, and a total of 123 minutes to fully charge.

Galaxy AI: Image generation capabilities enrich folding methods to create new experiences

One of the main upgrade points of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is the AI ​​function. In the phone's settings interface, Samsung has specially added a "Galaxy AI" option and placed it under connectivity, ranking third among all options. This shows Samsung's emphasis on the AI ​​experience.

The AI ​​function of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 adds more picture-related functions based on the Galaxy S24 series. Graffiti is undoubtedly the core. You can do simple drawing in Samsung Notes, and then choose the graffiti function. AI will generate five different styles of pictures based on our simple line drawings: watercolor, 3D cartoon, sketch, animation, and simulation. For example, we casually drew a sketch of a football, and the effect generated by AI is a more exquisite line drawing. In actual experience, the small Flip is not as easy to use as the large Fold. On the one hand, the screen size is different, and on the other hand, it is better to have an S-Pen to draw.

The newly added Wenshengtu feature can be used to create lock screen wallpapers. Currently, you can choose from three keywords, which can give us a fairly rich combination of permutations and combinations, equipped with a beautiful and personalized lock screen interface. For example, if we generate a picture of a salt lake landscape, the actual effect is extremely good. However, Samsung will put a striking "Generated by AI" watermark on all AI-generated pictures, which will slightly affect the final wallpaper effect.

Of course, there are still many existing AI functions that will show new ways of use in the folded form. The most representative one is the simultaneous interpretation function. We can unfold the Galaxy Z Flip6 and hover it. At this time, the inner and outer screens will be displayed at the same time, and the displayed content will be the corresponding language and text we have selected. In this way, both parties can watch the inner and outer screens at the same time and control them through their respective screens, which greatly improves the translation efficiency. The listening mode is suitable for listening to foreign speeches. This mode can automatically capture voice and translate it in real time. If the Samsung Buds series headphones are connected at the same time, the translation content can be converted into voice in real time to achieve a "simultaneous interpretation" effect.

Imaging function: The main camera specifications are upgraded to match the S24 series experience

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has made significant upgrades in imaging, the most important of which is the main camera, which has been upgraded from 12 million pixels to 50 million pixels. The sensor used is the same Samsung GN3 as the Galaxy S24+, with a sensor size of 1/1.57 inches, a single pixel size of 1.0μm, and provides 2X optical quality zoom. The specifications of the other two lenses remain unchanged.

With the support of the new main camera, super vision engine and AI algorithm, Galaxy Z Flip6 can take more detailed photos. The specific photo performance is the same as that of Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy S24+. I will not introduce it in detail here. Just take a look at the sample photos.

In short, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 can easily cope with various common scenes and focal lengths, and can also use the folding + external screen method to take more creative photos. When you need to take photos, the results of the photos you take will definitely be satisfactory.

Of course, in terms of taking photos, AI can still be used to improve the experience. The rich post-editing functions it provides can easily save waste films. The comparison photos above show the effect after AI repair on the right. Compared with the original film, the passers-by on the left were first eliminated, and then the photo was automatically straightened, and the blank part was filled in under the expansion function. The final effect after processing is almost invisible to the software algorithm, and the effect is very natural.

Summary: The upgrade points are all in the seven-inch price increase, which is worth it

Compared with large folding phones, small folding phones focus more on portability and fashion. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 meets this demand. It has more capable lines than before, and the texture is no longer cheap. This kind of high-value design is always preferred by users.

In terms of key specifications, Samsung has actually upgraded them, such as the protection level has been increased to IP/48, the battery capacity has been upgraded, the VC heat sink has been used for the first time, and the original single-card design has been upgraded to dual-card, which is definitely what many users need.

In terms of price, the starting price of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is 500 yuan higher than the previous generation, but considering that the storage specification starts at 12GB+256GB, the specification itself has been upgraded compared to the previous 8+256, coupled with the upgrade of other key specifications and AI support, the price is worth the money.
