On July 9, 2025, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 was succeeded by the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and had its FE-based model.
Design
Compared to its predecessor (the Galaxy Z Flip 5), the Galaxy Z Flip 6 features a more squared-off frame design. Its camera rings are color-matched to the device’s body. The frame is constructed from matte aluminum, compared to the polished frame on the Z Flip 5.[6] The device holds an IP48 rating, making it the first foldable smartphone with certified dust protection.[7] The cover screen and back panel are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, while the inner display uses ultra-thin glass (UTG).[8][9]
The cover screen now supports resizable widgets, allowing multiple widgets to be displayed on a single page. [10] Internally, a cooling system has been added to improve thermal management capabilities. The device's clamshell design also enables Flex Mode, which supports split-screen interactions when partially folded.
The device is available in seven colors: Blue, Silver Shadow, Mint, Yellow, Crafted Black, White, and Peach. Crafted Black, White, and Peach are online-exclusive variants, with Crafted black featuring a carbon fiber pattern finish.[11][12][13]

Specifications
Display
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 features a 6.7‑inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display with a resolution of 2640 × 1080 pixels (21:9 aspect ratio) and a pixel density of approximately 426 ppi. It supports a variable refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, enabling adaptive performance based on content type. The display also supports HDR10+ and is protected by Ultra Thin Glass (UTG).[14]
Cover Display and FlexMode
The device features a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED cover display with a folder-like shape screen, similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 5. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.[15]
Flex Mode
Flex Mode enables the device to stay partially folded at various stable angles, typically between 75 and 115 degrees. When activated, supported apps automatically adjust their interface—often displaying content on the upper half and controls or additional features on the lower half of the screen. This configuration allows users to interact with media or multitask without fully unfolding the device.[16][17][18]
Flex Cam
Flex Cam builds on Flex Mode by enhancing camera functionality for hands-free use. When the device is partially folded and positioned at a stable angle—such as on a table or shelf—users can take selfies, group shots, or record videos without manually holding the phone. Example use cases include static camera setups for video recording or remote communication. Additional features include automatic framing to maintain subject alignment, voice-activated capture for touch-free operation, and live camera previews via the cover display.[18][19]
Cover screen features
The cover screen supports interactive widgets, quick reply options, and selfie previews utilizing the rear camera. Multiple widgets can now be displayed simultaneously on a single page, allowing access to functions without requiring the device to be unfolded.[18][20][21]
Performance
The device is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor, first used on the Galaxy S24. The device includes 12 GB of RAM (marking the first Galaxy Z Flip phone to do so)[22] and is available with either 256 GB or 512 GB of internal storage. It does not support microSD card expansion.[23]
Battery
It contains two lithium-polymer batteries for a total capacity of 4,000 mAh. It supports wired charging up to 25 W and wireless charging up to 15 W.[24][25]
Camera
It features two rear cameras: a 50 MP wide-angle lens (upgraded from the 12 MP on the predecessor) and a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle lens. Additionally, there is a 10 MP front-facing camera on the internal display.[26]
Software
The device is pre-installed with Android 14 (and One UI 6.1.1),[27] and software enhancements designed for foldable devices, along with support for Galaxy AI features.[28][29] It is the first Galaxy Z Flip device to have 7 generations of Android OS updates and 7 years of security updates.[30]
