Galaxy Z Fold 6 vs Galaxy Z Flip 6
Short answer: the Galaxy Z Fold 6 opens into a 7.6 inch tablet and suits work, reading, multitasking and zoom photos with its 3x telephoto. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is a full-size phone that folds into a small square, now with a 50MP main camera and a bigger 4000 mAh battery. Both use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy with 12GB RAM and get seven years of updates.

Design and build
The Z Fold 6 folds like a book: closed it is a phone with a 6.3 inch cover screen, open it is a 7.6 inch tablet. It weighs 239 g and is 12.1 mm thick folded, lighter and thinner than the Fold 5. The Z Flip 6 folds like a compact, from a 6.7 inch phone to a small square, and weighs 187 g.
Both have an aluminium frame, Victus 2 glass and an IP48 rating, which adds basic protection against particles larger than 1 mm. Fine dust and sand can still harm the hinge.
Display
The Fold 6 has a 7.6 inch foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X main screen (1856 x 2160) at 1 to 120Hz and a 6.3 inch 120Hz cover screen, with 2600 nits peak. The Flip 6 has a 6.7 inch foldable main screen (1080 x 2640) at 1 to 120Hz, 2600 nits peak, and a 3.4 inch cover screen at 60Hz.
The Fold's big screen is excellent for split-screen apps, PDFs and video. The Flip's cover screen handles quick replies, widgets and selfies with the main camera without opening the phone.
Performance and chipset
Both use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy (4 nm) with 12GB RAM, so raw speed is the same. Both handle PUBG Mobile, video editing and multitasking smoothly.
The Fold 6 makes better use of the power with three apps on screen at once. The Flip 6's smaller body can get warm faster during long gaming sessions in summer, though Samsung added a vapour chamber to help.
Cameras
The Fold 6 has a 50MP main camera with OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide and a 10MP 3x telephoto with OIS, plus a 10MP cover camera and a 4MP under-display camera. The Flip 6 has a 50MP main camera with OIS and a 12MP ultra-wide, plus a 10MP selfie camera.
The Flip 6's new 50MP main sensor narrows the gap a lot. The Fold still wins for zoom thanks to its 3x lens. The Flip's Flex Mode and cover screen make it the easier phone for selfies, vlogs and group photos.
Battery and charging
The Fold 6 has a 4400 mAh battery and the Flip 6 a 4000 mAh battery, up from 3700 mAh on the Flip 5. Both charge at 25W wired, 15W wireless and 4.5W reverse wireless.
Both last a full day for most users. The Fold's larger screen uses more power when open, so real battery life on the two is closer than the numbers suggest.
