Three Reasons You Should Switch to the New Galaxy Z Fold6 or Galaxy Z Flip6

It’s our best foldable series yet – and it’s enhanced by new Galaxy AI capabilities

7/29/2024

As a Galaxy Z Flip or Galaxy Z Fold owner, you already know and love your phone, with its innovative, foldable design and industry-leading hardware. The Galaxy Z Fold’s large screen enhances everything, from multitasking to gaming, without sacrificing portability. The Galaxy Z Flip combines unparalleled personalization capabilities and powerful performance in a compact clamshell design that turns heads. Both have versatile cameras that allow you to take photos like a pro and create unique video experiences. And they’re all backed by the powerful, smooth performance you expect from your Samsung product.

We’re confident that you’ll love our newest Z series — the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 — even more. As always, our top priority is to deliver an incredible product experience, and these devices do so in droves, while taking a leap forward in what’s possible with a foldable phone. With this sixth generation of foldables, we’ve further enhanced the experience and boosted performance, setting a new standard of mobile innovation. It’s our best foldable series yet – and it’s enhanced by new Galaxy AI1 capabilities.

Read on to learn why a combination of hardware improvements, new features powered by Galaxy AI that are even better on a foldable phone, and opportunities to get the most value out of your existing phone make this the perfect time to switch to the new Galaxy Z series phone.

Reason 1: Our most durable Z series phones yet

We’ve relentlessly fine-tuned the Z series’ features, functionality, and form – and the result is the most durable and refined Z series devices yet. The Galaxy Z Flip6 and Galaxy Z Fold6 are engineered to give you peace of mind and stand the test of time. Four key areas maximize your device’s durability:

  • Hinge enhancements: We’ve further enhanced durability with an advanced internal design that better distributes the shock from external impacts, building on the innovative Dual Rail Hinge structure developed for the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Z Flip5.
  • Improved screen crease: Composed of multiple layers, including a protective layer and Ultra Thin Glass, the Samsung foldable display has been refined for enhanced durability and performance. We’ve also introduced a new Shear Thickening Fluid into the protective layer to increase resistance against potential impact. On the Galaxy Z Flip6, the Ultra Thin Glass thickness has been increased for improved force protection. And because accidents happen even to the most durable devices, Galaxy Z Assurance2 allows you to get your screen replaced for just $200 or receive a one-time free screen protector replacement.

A strong exterior: The Galaxy Z series is constructed with some of the strongest external materials available. Tougher Armor Aluminum3 frames and hinge covers protect against fumbles and drops, while Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 24 shields your new devices from external shocks.

Reason 2: Unmatched value from your existing phone

The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 are setting a new standard of mobile innovation, delivering impressive value and power. And to make our most premium devices more accessible than ever before, we continue to work with our carriers and retailers to offer competitive trade-in deals.

When you pre-order a Galaxy Z Flip6 phone, you can potentially receive up to $1,000 in trade-in value for your eligible device, significantly reducing the cost of your new phone. For the Galaxy Z Fold6, the trade-in offer goes up to $1,200. These substantial trade-in values mean that, depending on your eligible device, you could get Samsung’s newest foldable phones at a fraction of their retail price, or in some cases, nearly free of charge.

Reason 3: New features and upgrades – powered by the next chapter of Galaxy AI

The Z series offers a range of AI-powered features and tools so that you have more opportunities to harness AI capabilities in all that you do. This is powerful, intelligent, and durable foldable technology – to help you usher in a new era of communication, productivity, and creativity. Here’s just a few of the many exciting new features and upgrades you’ll find on your new Z series phone.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6‘s expansive 7.6-inch main display5 serves as an impressive platform for its advanced AI-powered features, enhancing both creativity and productivity.

Additional AI-driven features include Note Assist7 with embedded Transcript Assist and PDF translation support, as well as real-time conversation translation through Interpreter8 and Live Translate,9 which now works with third-party apps like Google Meet and Instagram. Translations can be displayed on both the cover screen and the main screen, allowing for a more natural conversation. The integration with device’s S Pen10 has also been refined for more precise note-taking and creative tasks, boosting the device’s productivity capabilities. These features collectively leverage our largest mobile screen to provide a more immersive and efficient user experience, blending artistic expression with practical functionality.

Galaxy Z Flip6:

The Galaxy Z Flip6‘s 3.4″ FlexWindow is more functional than ever with AI-powered Suggested Replies for texting and access to an expanded range of widgets including Samsung Health.
