We’ve got the new Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 in every color you can think of, and we’ve also got a bunch of accessories to go with them—everything from the latest watches and headphones to watch bands and Samsung’s official cases. Plus, I’ve got some gold samples of new cases designed just for these devices. There’s a lot to unpack in this video, so let’s dive in!
This is my first time using these devices, and Samsung has definitely refined their design. The new flat edges and lighter build make these feel a lot more like a regular smartphone, kind of like the S24 Ultra. Flattening out the edges means the ridge on the inside is less noticeable when the phone is folded, so you hardly feel it when you’re using it. The hinge area also seems slimmer, giving the whole device a really polished and finished feel.
But the real magic happens when you unfold it. You’re met with a huge internal display, and the hidden camera is still tucked away in the corner. Both the Fold and the Flip come with the latest Snapdragon processor. The Flip offers a few extra color options, like this cool mint one, but if you’re after pink, you’ll need to go with the Fold.
I’ve been a big fan of the Fold series for a while now, and I’ve used every version as my daily driver for quite some time. I’m planning to stick with the latest model for the same reason. The Fold comes with a triple camera setup: ultra-wide, wide, and telephoto. It also includes a high-quality external cover camera, similar to other Samsung flagship phones. Plus, there’s an internal under-display camera that lights up when you open the camera app or during video calls.
One of the coolest things about these foldable devices is their versatility. For example, you can prop them up, which is especially useful for shooting your own videos—though this feature works better on the Flip than the Fold. The built-in tripod is great for content creation, and some AI features make it even easier. For instance, when someone steps into the frame, the camera automatically zooms in, so you don’t need a separate cameraman.
So, which one catches your interest more? The Flip is super portable and sleek, and when it’s unfolded, it’s incredibly thin—perfect for making calls. However, its aspect ratio might be a bit odd for watching videos. If you’re into portability and flexibility, the Flip might be the way to go. But if you’re after a powerhouse device with the biggest display, best speakers, and highest resolution, then the Fold is your top choice. It also has a bigger battery, though it might drain a bit faster because of that large screen.
Let’s break down the specs. The Flip 6 comes in Silver, Shadow Blue, Mint, and Yellow. Both the Flip 6 and Fold 6 are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. You can choose between 256 GB or 512 GB of storage for the Flip 6, while the Fold 6 offers up to 1 TB. Both have 12 GB of RAM. The Flip 6 packs a 4,000 mAh battery, and the Fold 6 has a 4,400 mAh battery. They both support 25W wired fast charging, but when it comes to wireless charging, the Flip 6 does 10W and the Fold 6 does 15W. Both can share power wirelessly with other devices.
The Flip 6 has a 6.7-inch main display, whereas the Fold 6’s is larger at 7.6 inches. Both screens have a variable refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. The Fold 6’s main display has a higher resolution of 2160 x 1856, while the Flip 6’s resolution is 2640 x 1080. They both use Dynamic AMOLED 2X technology.
When it comes to the cover displays, there’s a bigger difference. The Flip 6’s Flex Window is 3.4 inches and operates at 60 Hz, while the Fold 6’s cover display is a generous 6.3 inches, making it feel more like a regular smartphone even when it’s folded. The resolution gap is also noticeable: 720 x 748 on the Flip 6 versus 2376 x 968 on the Fold 6.
For cameras, the Fold 6 has an advantage with an extra 10 MP telephoto lens that offers 30x zoom. Both devices have a 12 MP ultra-wide lens and a 50 MP wide lens. The Flip 6 feels different, though its weight hasn’t changed. Its new design with flatter edges gives it a cleaner look and helps reduce the gap when it’s closed. Plus, the little ridges help keep dust and grit out of the internal display when it’s in your pocket.
The Flip feels super comfortable to hold when it’s unfolded in portrait mode. You can easily use it with just one hand. The Fold, on the other hand, is a bit trickier to handle with one hand because it’s thicker when folded, so it covers more area. Once it’s open, you’ll definitely need both hands, but it’s fantastic for watching videos or playing games.
Now, let’s talk accessories. For the Flip 6, there’s a silicone case available in a few colors. It’s a two-piece design without a loop but has a part that slots through to cover the back. It’s made from a synthetic material with adhesive strips to keep it in place. I won’t use the strips right now, but that’s the idea.
I’ve always been a fan of super thin cases, which is what inspired the Later Case brand. When dealing with already bulky devices, keeping the case as slim as possible is key. We’ve got some gold samples here that use adhesive strips, though I won’t be applying them for this demo. Sometimes, I just use the back part of the Later Case because it gives me a bit more grip. Of course, there’s also a front frame available to protect those vulnerable corners. When the case is on, it helps close the seam even more.
If you’re thinking about getting one of these new Samsung devices, you can pick up a Later Case for either the Fold or the Flip. They’re incredibly thin—pretty much the thinnest you can find while still being durable. Plus, the premium Kevlar texture feels great every time you use your device.
I used to go case-free, but with the Fold’s bulk, it’s a bit more likely to slip out of your pocket, especially with shorts. That’s where the Later Case comes in handy. It adds just the right amount of grip, so it’s less likely to drop when you’re hopping in and out of the car. It’s never fun watching a brand-new device hit the pavement without protection. So, if you’re after something slim, the Later Case is a solid choice.
Alright, let’s check out the phone’s cameras. I’m excited to see how they perform. I’ll start by grabbing my trusty plant for a test shot. Our table is packed with watches, straps, and phones in every color. We’ll kick off with the ultra-wide camera, labeled as 6. Then we’ll move to the regular lens and zoom in with the telephoto at 3x. The camera versatility is pretty impressive, and you can really see the detail with the optical zoom. Let’s adjust the brightness—there’s plenty to work with.
I’m switching to this phone because I’ve loved every iteration of the Fold. The big internal display feels incredibly productive. It’s like using a desktop browser on a laptop, especially if you use the desktop mode. Plus, the large screen makes it easy to examine details up close.
Now, let’s check out the main camera. The quality is fantastic—you can crop in and still get sharp images. The ultra-wide lens is great for fitting more into your shots.
The selfie camera is interesting too. When you flip the phone around, you’ll see it’s an under-display camera. It’s improved from previous versions, though it might not match up to traditional front-facing cameras. It’s definitely good enough for video calls. If you want the best selfie quality, you’ll want to use the cover camera, which is better and offers two settings for a wider shot.
In short, while under-display cameras have their downsides, they don’t distract from the main screen. And if you need top-notch selfies, the external camera is the way to go.
So, I’m really intrigued by how this device handles multimedia since it’s supposed to be a real powerhouse in that department. I have to say, I kind of miss the feeling of typing on a split keyboard—there’s something so satisfying about it, almost like those nostalgic BlackBerry days. But this keyboard is even better—just look at how spacious it is!
The screen is incredibly bright—so bright that Mo might need to adjust his camera’s exposure to deal with it. Sometimes that intense brightness is exactly what I’m after, especially when you’re in direct sunlight. Of course, it might be a bit too much at times, but it’s definitely impressive.
Now, let’s dive into YouTube and see how it performs for media consumption. I see this as the ultimate media device—it’s like having a tablet that fits right in your pocket. It’s the largest screen you can carry with you, particularly with the Fold series, which I’ve used quite a bit. There’s this subconscious desire to watch things on a bigger screen when you’re on your phone, but with the Fold’s internal display, that feeling is less prominent. That’s been true with this latest model as well.
The speakers are pretty solid too, offering good stereo sound. Using this device reminds me of why I missed the Fold. By the way, which model did they leave here? Will, do you know which one I’m using and what color options are available?
For me, the Flip is all about versatility. It’s less about consuming content and more about creating it. Even though we’re missing one camera, the Flip still has two options: a 6x zoom and a 1x standard lens. The photos it takes are gorgeous, with sharp details and a bright, vibrant display.
The real magic is on the exterior display, something that’s rare in phones these days. With this feature, capturing the perfect selfie is a breeze. As I shoot a video, it’s almost like having a personal cameraman—if I move, the camera adjusts to keep me in frame. And if Mo steps into the shot, the camera recognizes him and makes sure we both fit nicely. Plus, there are gesture controls, so I can just raise my hand and—2, 1, photo! The coolest part? We’re using the high-quality external camera for these shots, so it’s like someone else took the photo for us, rather than using the usual selfie camera.
Now, I’m wondering about the speakers. One downside is that the video aspect ratio isn’t great. The long display doesn’t really compare to the larger internal screen of the Fold for watching videos. But that’s not really what the Flip is about. It’s sleek, fits easily in your pocket, and offers some cool features with its foldable design and AI-powered camera.
We’ve covered a lot, but let’s quickly mention a few other things announced today. Alongside the new phones, there’s the Galaxy Watch 7 in different colors and the rugged Ultra Watch. Plus, there are new straps and the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro.
The Watch 7 is available in green in both large and small sizes. However, the cream color only comes in small, and the silver only in large. It features a digital bezel and is made from aluminum. The large version is 44 mm, while the small is 40 mm. It’s powered by the Exynos W1000 chip, with 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. The 300 mAh battery supports fast charging, and it has an IP68 rating for durability. It works with any Android device running Android 8 or newer, not just Samsung. The large Watch 7 weighs 33.8 grams, and the small one is 28.9 grams.
Now, for the Watch Ultra—this is the exciting new addition to Samsung’s lineup. It comes in titanium gray, titanium white, or titanium silver, and you can even pair it with a bright orange band if you want a splash of color. Made from grade 4 titanium, it includes a digital bezel and an extra quick button. It also runs on the Exynos W1000 chip with 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, but has a much bigger 590 mAh battery. It supports fast charging, has an IP68 rating, and can handle temperatures from 55°C to 20°C. It’s also designed to work at altitudes up to 9,000 meters. Like the Watch 7, it works with any Android device running Android 8 or newer.
Moving on to the new Buds, the Buds 3 come in silver or white and offer adaptive noise cancellation and adjustable EQ. They also feature force touch, swiping controls, and an accelerometer, and weigh just 4.8 grams.
If you’re looking at the Buds 3 Pro, they’re also available in silver or white but come with a two-way speaker system instead of the single amp found in the Buds 3. They offer adaptive noise cancellation, ambient mode that adjusts based on your surroundings, and are IP57 rated. The earbuds have a 50 mAh battery, and the charging case holds 500 mAh.
