We have cute Samsung or iPhone cases to customize our handsets. But that doesn’t mean the aesthetics of our device aren’t important. It’s not just the outward appearance of the phone, but its overall design that is a critical feature to consider.

The device’s performance is the make-or-break factor, but the exterior look also matters as it’s the first thing people see. Aesthetics impact how users interact with their phones. Also, design features like the placement of the buttons, and the size and shape of the phone, all contribute to the overall user experience.

Both iPhone and Samsung are pushing boundaries when it comes to smartphone design, Samsung itself is testing the limits with its foldable devices, building upon its predecessors, and is set to release its latest product, the Galaxy Z Flip6.

Rumors suggest Z Flip6 has it all—sleek aesthetics, enhanced durability, and an overall refined design. Users get to take advantage of a foldable phone that perfectly blends functionality, style, and cutting-edge technology.

Thicker Dimensions

Reports say that Z Flip6 is slightly thicker with dimensions of 165.0 x 71.7 x 7.4mm compared to the 165.1 x 71.9 x 6.9mm of Z Flip5. It’s suspected that the extra thickness is to accommodate the bigger battery.

The extra thickness is good as it helps lower the strain when folding the display. Due to their thicker dimensions, Z Flip6 phones may feature fewer creases, leaving more space for the flex hinge. However, nothing indicates a larger cover screen.

Improved Hinge Mechanism

Many users have been complaining about the center crease. Previous versions, the Z Flip5 and Z Flip4, were designed to fold completely flat. But they both have a noticeable crease in the middle, albeit it’s a little flatter with the Z Flip5.

There were new design changes to Galaxy Z Flip 5’s new hinge mechanism, such as gears and the flex hinge technology. We expect Z Flip6 to pull all the stops on these changes, with Samsung continuously working on improving its products’ durability.

According to rumors, the Galaxy Z Flip6 has a similar hinge design as the Z Flip 5. However, it will focus more on keeping and improving the fold-flat design because, as we mentioned before, the crease was a notable concern.

The Same Inner Display and Cover Screen

There don’t seem to be any major changes to the inner display's size. Rumors say it’s the same as before at 6.7 inches. Even the cover screen stays at the same size of 3.4 inches, contrary to some suggestions that it will grow to 3.9 inches.

Upgraded Camera

Galaxy Z Flip6’s refined design includes a long-expected camera upgrade. It’s expected to have a main camera featuring a 50MP sensor, better than the previous Flip versions with only a 12MP sensor.

However, there has not been any news if the ultra-wide module has some changes. There also doesn’t seem to be any addition of a telephoto lens, although the main camera is said to have some kind of in-sensor zoom ability.

Enhanced Performance and Battery Life

There isn’t any big change to Galaxy Z Flip6 design-wise, so your Samsung phone protector cases probably won’t change much. The only big difference from previous flips is the bigger battery we mentioned.

Previous reports say that the Z Flip6 possibly has a 4,000mAh battery powering it. This is slightly bigger than the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s 3,700mAh battery. We also heard that the Z Flip6 could have enhanced performance using a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.

Galaxy Z Flip6 packs some of the most typical hardware upgrades. In addition to the new chip, it’s said to have up to 12GB RAM and 256 or 512GB storage. There are also reports that it has all the AI features available in the Galaxy S24 series.

Variety of Color Options

Speaking of colors, leaks show that Z Flip6 has various color options, including green (mint), lavender, silver (silver shadow), and yellow. In the past, yellow and mint green versions were only available through Samsung stores, which might be the same as with the new handset.

Samsung sees its Flip phones as the more accessible way users can get into their foldable handsets. This is why the Z Flip versions often have colorful and fun finishes, thus the bright color options the Z Flip6 phone is rumored to have.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6’s likely release is around August. But before the year ends, we might see another model of this phone, possibly dubbed Z Flip6 FE. Its refined design makes the phone durable and sleek, but for extra protection, you need the best Z Flip6 cases.
