Samsung’s focus for 2024 is undoubtedly AI, and this journey continues with the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Some key AI features coming to the Flip series this year include Generative Wallpaper, suggested replies in chats based on your previous conversations and two-way, real-time translations using the two displays in Flex Mode and photo editing capabilities to name just a few.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 packs a bigger battery

The 4000mAh battery in the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is the largest yet in the Flip series, matching the size of the one found in the Galaxy S24. Most importantly, it’s bigger than the 3700mAh battery that powered the Z Flip 5.
