Chat Assistance
Galaxy AI is primed to become your new personal assistant, helping you craft responses and share replies quickly and easily, learning and adapting to your own way of texting.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 colours
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series has always been an exceptionally stylish smartphone, and the Z Flip 6 leans into that more than ever. It offers four colours to choose from—blue, yellow, silver shadow, and mint—plus an accented camera mount that both protects the lenses and just makes it look really cool.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 camera
A dual camera setup includes an upgraded 50MP wide-angle lens and a 12MP ultra-wide lens—which, with the Z Flip series, you can use for selfies by flipping open your device. If that’s not your style, the front camera is a decent 10MP selfie camera, which is perfectly suited to selfies and video calls.
FlexCam selfies / Front camera selfies
One key feature of the Z Flip series is the ability to take hands-free selfies with the rear-facing cameras. You can flip your phone open, place it on any level surface, and snap selfies with the powerful 50MP resolution cameras.
The FlexWindow allows you to get the perfect setup, and the new Galaxy AI will help you take perfect pictures with Auto Zoom and AI-powered Portraits features for perfect focus, composition, and natural blur.
Night videos
The Z Flip 6 features Super HDR for high-contrast HDR videos and improvements to ensure filming videos in low light still delivers fantastic results.
Foldable screen
The Galaxy Z Flip 6's main foldable screen is a 6.7-inch dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. This means that movement will always appear smooth without draining your battery or performance when it’s not necessary.
The cover screen is a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate. It’s obviously not as slick and impressive as the main screen, but it’s still impressive for its size and offers a range of useful functionality with its FlexWindow features.
FlexWindow
The Z Flip 6 has upgraded its iconic FlexWindow, which lets you use the phone without opening it. Features like interactive wallpaper and photo ambient make the user experience smoother than ever.
You can also access more information directly on the FlexWindow screen with a wider variety of customisable widgets, including multiple apps on a single page, giving you quick access to information without the need to unlock your phone.
Battery life
The Z Flip 6 has a 4,000 mAh battery, which is the same size as the battery in the S24 handset. This means that despite its smaller size, you’ll get the same amount of battery life as you would in the standard flagship Samsung phone.
