The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 brings a number of key enhancements over the Z Flip5. Some are fairly simple like utilizing a 50MP sensor in the principle digital camera. Others took some doing. For instance, the 2024 mannequin contains a bigger mixed battery capability of 4,000mAh, in comparison with the three,700mAh of the Z Flip5.
It’s break up between two cells – the principle one with 2,870mAh and a secondary cell with 1,130mAh capability. The Z Flip5 battery was break up right into a 2,700mAh important and 1,000mAh secondary cells, so the 2024 mannequin managed to pack extra into every. You may see them in PBKreviews’ teardown video, listed here are some display screen grabs from that:

One other main enchancment this 12 months is the addition of a vapor chamber for cooling the chipset. It’s a pretty big one – it’s supposedly bigger than the one contained in the S24 Extremely. It’s nonetheless not massive sufficient, although, in our evaluation we noticed horrible efficiency below sustained load (to be truthful, flip foldables usually battle with this, vapor chamber or not).

Apparently, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 acquired a barely larger repairability rating than the Z Flip5. The distinction is in how simple it’s to restore the screens. The addition of particle safety (a part of the IP48 ranking) might simply have made issues more durable.
JerryRigEverything additionally made a video concerning the Galaxy Z Flip6, this one centered on a sturdiness take a look at. It places the brand new particle safety to the take a look at and tries (unsuccessfully) to bend the telephone the mistaken approach. However maybe essentially the most fascinating a part of the video is the one which peels the show aside. The primary layer is the plastic protector, then one other layer (which may be the mysterious new Shear Thickening Fluid layer) and under that’s the UTG. In the event you had been questioning, sure, UTG does crack like common glass, which is why it wants the additional safety.
