    Samsung Z Fold 6 vs. Z Fold 5: Is the New Foldable Worth It?

    The 6.3-inch HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover display, a 2376 x 968-pixel resolution, 410 pixels per inch (ppi), and a dynamic refresh rate from 1hz to 120Hz of news device is gonna be surprise you. The internal display is 7.6 inches with a resolution of 2160 x 1856 pixels. In comparison, the Z Fold 5 has a slightly smaller 6.2-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2316*904 pixels.

The ultrawide lens is 12MP and has an f/2.2 aperture and a 123-degree field of view. The telephoto camera is 10MP and features OIS, DPAF, an aperture of f/2.4, and 3x optical zoom. Aside from the ultrawide camera, which remains at 12 megapixels, the rest of the camera specs are almost identical to the Z Fold 5.

    There’s not much difference in design between the two phones. The Z Fold 6 feels slightly more comfortable to hold and is easier to carry around. It weighs 239 grams, whereas the Z Fold 5 weighs 253 grams. he Galaxy Z Fold 6 measures 68.1mm by 153.5mm by 12.1mm. When unfolded, it’s 132.6mm by 153.5mm by 5.6mm.

    Samsung Z Fold 6: What to Expect in 2024?

    The Z Fold 5 came out in August, and now there are talks about the next one. Let’s see what we already know about the Z Fold 6. Normally, Z Fold phones come out in late summer. Samsung usually tells us about them in July, and they become available in August. We think this will happen again.

    Z Fold 6

    The Galaxy Z Fold 5 starts at $1,800 if you want 256GB of memory. If Samsung keeps that choice, we guess the Z Fold 6 will start at the same price (and the Fold 5 might cost less). If you want more storage, you might have to pay more money.

    The price could be higher if there are new features, but we believe $1,800 is the least it could be. When the Z Fold 6 is officially out, Samsung will tell us when we can start pre-ordering it. Come back here for more details when that happens.

    Right now, we only have rumors. The Z Fold 5 wasn’t very different from the one before, but people say Samsung might make some changes with the 6. The biggest change might be with how it looks, including the size of the screen. Someone who often shares early info, called Revegnus on X (used to be Twitter), says the screen will be bigger, but the phone will be lighter.

    Another small but nice change might happen with the Fold 6: it might resist dust. T.M. Roh, the head of Samsung’s mobile part, said they know people want dust resistance, and they are trying hard to make it happen. However, because foldable phones have many moving parts, it’s not easy to make them dustproof.

    We don’t know for sure, but some things might stay the same. Revegnus says the Fold 5’s camera will stick around for now, and new camera stuff will come with the Fold 7.

    Here are the details for the Fold 6’s back cameras (we don’t know if the front ones will change, but rumors say no):

    – 50MP wide
    – 12MP ultra-wide
    – 10MP telephoto with 3x zoom
    – 30X space zoom

    Like dust resistance, another thing that might come with the Fold 6 is a special pen you can use with it, called an S Pen. Having a pen with a phone means the phone can’t be too thin, and the battery might not last as long because you have to charge both the phone and the pen. Samsung isn’t saying no to having a pen, but they haven’t figured out the best way to do it yet.
