The Galaxy Z Fold series incorporates cutting-edge technology into a flexible form factor that folds and unfolds the device’s large screen.
Unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked 2024, the Galaxy Z Fold6 has captivated consumers with a sleek design and new features that showcase the endless possibilities of foldable phones. Just as durable as before with a more compact and lightweight case, the latest device in the Z Fold series comes equipped with Galaxy AI — optimized for use on foldables to take user productivity to another level.
What are the secrets behind the Galaxy Z Fold6’s innovations.
- Main Display
The main display boasts a peak brightness of 2,600nits, making the foldable’s screen clear and easy to see even in broad daylight. Vision Booster further enhances the visual experience by optimizing the colors and contrast of images for different lighting environments.
- Wing Plate
The wing plate helps the Galaxy Z Fold6 fold and unfold smoothly. Moving between the display and hinge, the wing plate aligns the interior and protects the display from any mechanical damage. Despite being extremely thin, the wing plate is made of a special material that exerts strong force.

- Hinge
The hinge acts as the central axis for folding and unfolding the phone. Because slimmer devices require narrower hinge spaces, advanced hinge technology is essential to making foldables as thin as possible without sacrificing hinge performance and stability. The Galaxy Z Fold6’s hinge is smaller and slimmer than before but equally as durable due to new and reinforced materials. Thanks to the new hinge, Samsung was able to create an ultra-portable phone that is easy to carry anywhere, anytime.
- Front Case
The case is thinner and lighter than that of its predecessor but just as resilient. Made of Enhanced Armor Aluminum, the case safely wraps and protects the foldable’s internal components like armor —like the name suggests. The case’s IP48-rated water resistance means the Galaxy Z Fold6 can be used safely on rainy days outdoors as well.
- Vapor Chamber
Vapor chambers diffuse heat to prevent smartphones from overheating. The larger the vapor chamber, the more effectively it can dissipate heat and allow devices to maintain stable performance. Samsung included in the Galaxy Z Fold6 a vapor chamber that is approximately 1.6 times the size of the Galaxy Z Fold5’s.
6.Main Battery
Samsung inserted a thinner main battery into the device to perfect its slimmer design. Unlike that of a bar-type smartphone, the main battery of the Galaxy Z Fold6 is divided into two parts.
- Sub Battery
The sub battery is located on the opposite side of the main battery and was also slimmed down to fit the Galaxy Z Fold’s sleek design.
- Main PBA
The brain of a smartphone, the printed board assembly (PBA) houses core parts such as the application processor and memory. To achieve the Galaxy Z Fold’s thinner design, Samsung shifted from using a stacked, multilayer main PBA to a single-layer one.
- Sub PBA
The sub PBA contains the chips responsible for operating the device’s display and speakers. A slim printed circuit board (PCB) was used for the sub PBA.
- Back Cover
The back cover is the final stage of the Galaxy Z Fold6 manufacturing process. It not only protects the internal components but also showcases the foldable’s sleek design. Corning’s Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 — known for its excellent durability — is incorporated into the back cover, reassuring users that their phones are well-protected.
- Sub Display
Compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold6 boasts a well-balanced, horizontally wider screen ratio that greatly enhances the foldable’s usability. Users can fold their device and still enjoy a comfortable viewing experience with the sub display alone. Like the main display, the sub display can also get as bright as up to 2,600 nits, giving users a clear view of their screens even in broad daylight.
