Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 review: faster, longer-lasting flip phone

Sixth-generation folder adds bigger battery, better camera, brighter screen and more fancy AI features

Samsung's popular folding-screen Z Flip phone is back for 2024 with a faster chip, much longer battery life and more AI.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is the smaller of Samsung's two new folders for this year, launched alongside the book-style Z Fold 6. It takes the flat sides and slab-like design of Samsung's standard Galaxy S24+ and folds it in half, turning a big-screen phone into a compact clamshell.
