Samsung Unveils the Next Generation of Foldable Phones: Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6

In a landmark event at Galaxy Unpacked in Paris, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. introduced the highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6, along with the innovative Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro. These new additions mark a significant leap in mobile AI technology and design, setting a new benchmark for foldable smartphones.

Elevating Galaxy AI with Versatile Foldables

Samsung continues to push the boundaries of mobile technology with the new Galaxy Z series, harnessing the power of Galaxy AI to offer unparalleled user experiences. The Galaxy Z Fold6 boasts a large screen that enhances productivity and creativity, while the compact Galaxy Z Flip6 features the unique FlexWindow, providing quick access to essential functions without unfolding the device.

Innovative Design and Durability

The latest Galaxy Z series models are the slimmest and lightest foldables Samsung has ever created. They feature a perfectly symmetrical design with straight edges, providing a sleek finish. Enhanced durability comes from the dual rail hinge structure and strengthened folding edges, along with the use of Armor Aluminum and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Power and Performance

Both the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 are powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, offering top-tier CPU, GPU, and NPU performance optimized for AI processing. This ensures that users enjoy enhanced graphics, improved overall performance, and efficient cooling systems.

Galaxy Z Fold6: A Productivity Powerhouse

The Galaxy Z Fold6 is designed to maximize productivity with AI-powered features such as Note Assist, which offers translation, summaries, and auto-formatting in Samsung Notes. The device also supports advanced camera features with the ProVisual Engine, allowing users to create professional-grade content effortlessly.

Galaxy Z Flip6: Compact and Customizable

The Galaxy Z Flip6 is optimized for portability and creativity. The enhanced FlexWindow allows users to reply to texts, access Samsung Health updates, and control music without opening the device. The device also features AI-powered customizations, such as Photo Ambient, which changes the wallpaper based on real-time conditions.

Enhanced Security and Privacy

Samsung Knox secures the new Galaxy Z series, offering multi-layer protection and real-time threat detection. Users have full control over their data with Galaxy AI settings, ensuring privacy and security in the AI-driven era.

Sustainable Innovation

Samsung’s commitment to sustainability is evident in the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6, which incorporate recycled materials like gold, copper, and rare earth elements. The packaging is made from 100% recycled paper, and the devices come with seven generations of OS upgrades and security updates.

Galaxy Buds3 Series: AI-Enhanced Audio Experience
