Samsung refreshed its two foldable lines this week with new Z Fold and new Z Flip models. Currently, they are on pre-order and will go on open sale on July 24 (or a bit later in some markets). Check out our hands-on review<\/a> for a closer look at both models. Are you considering getting one?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s consider the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6<\/a> first. Samsung tweaked the aspect ratios of both the cover display (now 6.3\u201d, 22.1:9) and the main display (now a 7.6\u201d panel with a 10.5:9 aspect ratio). It\u2019s a subtle change, but it does bring a noticeable improvement to usability.<\/p>\n

A few more major changes \u2013 the phone is 14g lighter and it is 1.3mm thinner than the Z Fold5 when folded, both of which improve the in-hand feel. The phone now has an IP48 rating, which is not enough to stop dust, but larger particles will be blocked.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6<\/a> is also thinner when folded, but the difference is less dramatic \u2013 at 14.9mm, it is 0.2mm thinner than the Z Flip5. The other dimensions and the weight are the same. This model also received an IP48 rating and Samsung says it is using refined Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and Armor Aluminum materials to make the new foldable tougher.<\/p>\n

The big change on the Flip this year is the 50MP main camera. The Z Fold has a tele lens, but all the Z Flips so far have struggled with zooming in. The new sensor should be more capable than the old 12MP unit in all scenarios.<\/p>\n

Finally, both phones use the exclusive Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chipset. This year the Galaxy Z Flip6 also has a vapor chamber for cooling (a first in the series). And it upgraded to 12GB of RAM.<\/p>\n

Here are the global prices for the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6, though note that they don’t include the pre-order perks that Samsung is offering (free storage upgrade, enhanced trade-in and more).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n

Considering alternatives, there isn\u2019t much competition for horizontal foldables if you are in North America. The OnePlus Open is getting long in the tooth, as is the Google Pixel Fold. Both should get replaced later this year, but even now they have perks like a 64MP 3x telephoto camera on the Open and a 10.8MP 5x camera on the Fold, compared to a 10MP 3x module on the Z Fold6. The OnePlus Open also boasts a 48MP ultra wide (vs. 12MP) and fast 67W charging (vs. 25W wired\/15W wireless on the Samsung).<\/p>\n

Not to mention that the Open folds down to 11.7mm and weighs 239g (vs. 12.1mm and 239g for the Galaxy). None of them have particle protection, only water resistance, but the Samsungs are the first foldables to venture into that side of the IP code.<\/p>\n

The vivo X Fold3 Pro isn\u2019t available everywhere, but it is available in some regions. It folds to 11.2mm and weighs 236g, plus it has a 64MP 3x tele and 50MP ultra wide cameras. Plus a 5,700mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. No particle protection, though, just IPX8. At least it uses a current chipset, the regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, while the OnePlus Open and Google Pixel Fold are a generation or two behind.<\/p>\n

Okay, time to vote \u2013 will you get the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6? And are you upgrading from an old foldable or will this be your first? And don\u2019t go anywhere, we still have the Z Flip6 poll to do.<\/p>\n
