Samsung has announced its foldable smartphones: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6. How do they differ from their predecessors, and what new features are expected? We've taken a closer look at Samsung's new foldable smartphones, which are available to order from Orange at bargain prices.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6: More software than hardware improvements
At first glance, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 looks similar to its predecessor. The dimensions are unchanged, but there have been some changes to the edge, which has been matte finished like the back of the phone, and the camera lenses have been encircled. A successful design, which doesn't confuse us by retaining the major features of the Galaxy Z Flip5. We can see that, with each new generation, Samsung is fine-tuning the fold of the phone, making it even more discreet.

At 239 grams on the scales, the smartphone is only 7 grams heavier than a Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The features
With more sharply angled edges than its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 seeks to be closer to its S series. The design is completely matt, which minimises fingerprints on the device. As far as the hinge is concerned, the brand is still promising to withstand 200,000 openings and closings of the smartphone.
As for the S Pen (sold separately), it gives you even more possibilities and makes life easier. With this electronic pen, you can take handwritten notes or highlight an important passage in a text. These functions have been enhanced by the inclusion of AI, which lets you summarize your ideas, for example, or makes it easier to find what you're looking for thanks to the circle to search function.

Artificial intelligence that makes all the difference
Artificial intelligence has been perfectly integrated into the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6. Far from being a gimmick, the integration of advanced AI enables a host of new functions. In addition to the circle-to-search function and the note-taking summary discussed earlier, your smartphone becomes your personal assistant. If you need to send a message quickly, just ask your message assistant and it will write the text to match your request. The Web assistant will also save you time by summarising a web page of interest to you, keeping only the essential information, and even translating it for you.
Your photos will also have the right to AI (Artificial Intelligence) assistance. You will be able to edit your photos by moving or modifying an object, transforming your photos into tables and your drawings into photos. Videos will also get a helping hand, as you will be able to create slow-motion sequences from your videos.
