Local Tech and Lifestyle Journalists Praise Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6

In recent weeks, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 have garnered enthusiastic praise from South African tech and lifestyle journalists, who are lauding these innovative devices for their cutting-edge features and transformative potential in the mobile industry.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 has been described as a remarkable advancement in foldable technology, with some pointing out its versatility, enhanced performance, impressive build quality and seamless user experience. The improved hinge design and more durable screen of the Z Fold6 have been particularly well-received.

Another key highlight from local reviews is the device’s multitasking capabilities from its expansive display which allows users to effortlessly juggle multiple tasks, making it an ideal tool for professionals.

On the flip side, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has also captured the imagination of South African journalists and mobile tech enthusiasts with its stylish design and innovative features. The compact form factor and customisation options of the Z Flip6 have been particularly praised. Its ability to fold into a compact, pocket-sized form makes it incredibly convenient, while the customisable cover screen allows users to personalise their experience.

Here’s a look at some of the glowing reviews;

As much as the sub-display (Galaxy Z Fold6’s cover screen) exists for quick and easy tasks, if I‘m really going to spend a good hour editing a reel for Instagram or even more time improving my KDA while gaming, I’m going to open the fold up, revealing its true nature. For one, the larger display allows me to have multiple apps open, which I find makes editing much simpler than having to switch between apps if I need to find a cool song from another app or quickly move files around. It‘s not surprising at all that it’s also amazing to game on the much larger screen.

In 2024, Apple and Samsung entered the Al hardware race. So far, it seems Samsung is leading the race. Earlier this year, Samsung launched their AI phone, now the South Korean tech-giant has launched a suite of AI-powered products. Last week, Samsung launched its first AI-powered foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6. The AI functionality which stands out about the devices is the interpreter mode, which can be used when translating a conversation. The translating functionality has conversation mode and listening mode. The functionality lets the user run the microphone as someone talks in another language, and the user is able to see their speech translated as text on the screen.
