In the field of folding screens, small folding screens are also loved by many young users by virtue of their lightweight, portable, delicate and small fashion attributes. In the previous Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 large folding screen evaluation, I gave it a "more square and AI" evaluation. And the small folding screen released at the same time as it - Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6, also attracted much attention. So what kind of experience will it have? Today, let's unlock this new fashion product together.

"Light" design: a fashionable appearance that flows at your fingertips

Like the Galaxy Z Fold6, the Galaxy Z Flip6 has a boxy design. Under the unfolded form, the fuselage is more slender than the general straight board machine, the front and back are connected by a straight edge middle frame, and the four R corners retain a rounded shape, and the whole machine is full of lines and a sense of technology.

In its folded form, the Galaxy Z Flip6 looks smaller and more compact, and is very comfortable to hold. At the same time, it weighs 187g and is very light, and can be easily pinched with two fingers, which is very elegant and calm.

The color design is the design that I think accounts for the largest proportion of the Galaxy Z Flip6's fashion concept. For example, the color of the "Xia Mo Blue" version in front of me is an elegant sky blue, and the color covers the back panel, middle frame, and hinge area, which is almost an integrated design.

Moreover, this light blue color is not too much embellishment, and it is the purest color presentation. This kind of high-value fashion attribute is very suitable for the preferences of young people today.

In terms of material, the frame adopts a reinforced armored aluminum frame, which not only has the ability to resist scratches, but also is not easy to deform and does not stain fingerprints at all. In heavy load scenarios such as playing games, the metal frame of this material will not be hot, and it is a product with both look and feel.

The hinges are made of the same ultra-closed Seiko hinges as the Galaxy Z Fold6, and Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 is used to protect the front and back of the fuselage, and with IP48 dust and water discharge, it covers daily use scenarios such as easy water ingress and easy dropping, and the durability is greatly improved.

As for the screen, on the front is a 6.7-inch second-generation dynamic AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2640 x 1080, a 120Hz refresh rate, and the quality of the screen is also at the flagship level. At the same time, in order to better close the large screen, the edges of the Galaxy Z Flip6 screen are plated with a layer of magnetic frame to better protect the screen.

However, because the inner screen is slender, there are more black edges on the left and right sides when watching videos, which is different from most straight board machines, but after a few days of use, I will get used to it.

On top of that, the Galaxy Z Flip6 also comes with an Olympic-sized custom case. This phone case is transparent and is divided into two parts, upper and lower. The overall fit is very good, and the outer ring of the upper outer screen area is over-black, which does not look abrupt visually. On the whole, the feel is relatively warm, and the anti-fall ability is expected to be good.

What's more, the case also comes with a small Olympic-themed card with NFC that can be built into the lower half of the body. After lamination, the Olympic theme of the outer screen will be automatically downloaded, and it can display very cool Olympic-themed animations, which is quite a novelty experience.

"Large" external screen: a smart external screen that can be reached at one touch

Compared with the inner screen, the 3.4-inch "large" outer screen of the Galaxy Z Flip6 may be more concerned about, and its basic screen quality is basically the same as that of the previous generation, and it may be more optimized integrated at the software level.

In terms of design, the size of the Galaxy Z Flip6's outer screen is relatively large among the small folding screens, which can provide a larger field of view and allow users to have more possibilities in customizing the display.

On the display of the main screen of the outer screen, Galaxy Z Flip6 also provides a lot of customized UI design, including photo albums, information presets, interactions, animations and other forms, which is similar to most small folding screens. However, with the help of Galaxy AI's Wensheng diagram, it is possible to create a unique photo as a wallpaper, so that the user's playability is even higher.

However, as the second screen of the small folding screen, its essential role is to allow users to reduce the number of times they use the inner screen, and only use the outer screen to complete more functional requirements, so as to obtain an interactive experience different from the inner screen. At present, the system of One UI version 6.1.1 can support popular applications or widgets such as WeChat, NetEase Cloud Music, Kugou Music, Baidu Maps, Douyin, etc., and the overall interactive experience is still relatively good.

For example, in the music scene, I can directly click on NetEase Cloud Music, select the song in the playlist on the small screen, and adjust it to the lyrics page to be displayed on the always-on display, I can stand up the phone or lay it flat, without unfolding the phone, I can directly get the double enjoyment of vision and hearing.

Of course, the current version of the system provides relatively few adaptation applications, but with the help of the official Good Lock software, you can also integrate some commonly used software on this external screen. For example, you can browse Weibo, read novels, watch videos, etc., and you can also get a good experience.

On top of that, you can also use this app to do weird things, like playing games with an external screen. For example, playing Genshin Impact on the external screen, although it seems very difficult to understand, is it not a very novel experience? At least my friends had a good time.

Therefore, the optimization of the Galaxy Z Flip6 in terms of the external screen this time is more to strengthen the user's awareness of the software functions, so that they can make better use of this external screen, to process notifications or messages more directly and quickly, and at the same time, the small screen can also be used in daily life to use map navigation, music playback, simultaneous interpretation and other practical functions.

"Smart" system: Galaxy AI with double efficiency

At the system level, the Galaxy Z Flip6, like the Galaxy Z Fold6 I experienced before, is an AI-based smart upgrade designed to help users process and obtain information, thereby improving the efficiency of users' daily use of various software.

Judging from the AI functions provided by the current version of the system, Galaxy Z Flip6 and Galaxy Z Fold6 are almost the same, covering a series of commonly used AI functions such as instant search, transcription assistant, chat assistant, browsing assistant, photo assistant, etc. Next, I will list a few features that I think are easier to use and share with you the experience:

Browsing assistant: When we browse the web, especially those with long texts, it is really time-consuming and laborious to read. Through the browsing assistant provided by Galaxy AI, it can help us directly obtain a simple summary of the text of the web page. In addition, it can translate and generate abstracts even for text content in foreign languages, which is really beneficial for reading overseas publications.

Doodle Assistant: This is a fun creation function that generates different styles of drawings from the user's stick figures. For example, I draw a stick figure flower and ask the Galaxy AI to help me generate a sketch-style painting, and in about 10 seconds, it generates a very realistic sketch drawing. If you change it to a watercolor style, you can even use it directly to make an avatar, and the experience of this function is really good.

Circle and search: This is also a more practical function, which can help us identify an item and get complete information with one click. For example, when I encounter a green plant I don't know in Xiaohongshu, I can press and hold the navigation bar to trigger the circle search function, and I can directly identify it with a circle of selection, and the useful knowledge has increased.

In short, the Galaxy Z Flip6 will comprehensively optimize the functional experience at the entire system level after the addition of Galaxy AI, allowing users to call software, process messages, and obtain key information more efficiently and conveniently, creating a truly intelligent system.

"High" configuration: Superior performance at the flagship level

In terms of basic configuration, the Galaxy Z Flip6 mainly uses the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform (for Galaxy), which is the standard processor of the current high-end flagship, with a newly upgraded 12GB running memory, its performance is enough to cope with the needs of multi-tasking scenarios, and keep the phone smooth at all times.

"Honor of Kings" frame rate chart

"Honor of Kings" 30 minutes of game test, the average frame rate of the measured results is 120.2 frames, the game is stable throughout the game, the temperature control is good, and there is no discomfort, the excellent performance level and game experience are in line with expectations, and it is not much different from the straight board flagship.

The battery of the Galaxy Z Flip6 has also been increased from 3700mAh to 4000mAh in the previous generation, and the battery life has been further improved. After 1 hour of "Honor of Kings" game (inner screen), 1 hour of NetEase cloud music playback (external screen), 1 hour of B station video playback (inner screen), and 8 hours of standby battery life test, the final remaining power is 62%, which is also in line with the expected battery life level, and it is not a big problem to use it for a day of daily use.

In addition, the rear dual camera of Galaxy Z Flip6 uses a 50-million-pixel wide-angle lens + a 12-million-pixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and supports 2x optical quality zoom, which can adapt to the needs of multi-scene shooting in daily life.

Judging from the samples I took, the Galaxy Z Flip6 is capable of capturing crisp and detailed photos with a higher pixel lens than the previous generation, and the color level is relatively close to the real scene without too much retouching and distortion. Even if you shoot indoors in low light, you can suppress the highlights of the lighting, ensure the harmony of the light ratio of the picture, and take photos with a more atmospheric feeling.

Write at the end

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has a light and stylish design, and the internal configuration is also a flagship level. If you add the large field of view of the outer screen and the efficient and practical Galaxy AI, then it will become a fashion item that takes into account both appearance and strength.

Therefore, in my opinion, after the addition of Galaxy AI, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 will amplify the advantages of the folding screen, making the functions of this "large" outer screen more user-friendly and practical, which can be said to be the best version of the current small folding screen products. Of course, in the era of AI mobile phones, I am also looking forward to the addition of AI, which can make the products of the folding screen category really shine, so as to benefit more consumer groups.
