The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 comes with several design upgrades such as a dual rail hinge, armour aluminium frame with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, IP48 water and dust resistance and much more, making the smartphone look more premium than ever. I was convinced with the smartphone at first look as I noticed the refined display with almost unnoticeable crease. While the smartphone is lightweight, it still retains a boxy design. However, the feel and usability are exceptionally premium and seem sturdy and durable as well. (HT Tech)

In terms of display, Samsung has introduced some minor iterations in comparison to the Galaxy Z Flip 5. The smartphone retains the  6.7-inch Full-HD+ Dynamic AMOLED main display and 3.4-inch Super AMOLED cover display. Talking about the viewing experience, the display is quite attractive and crisp. The peak brightness has also been increased, making the smartphone's usability easier when outdoors. While the smartphone speaks AI in several ways, I had more expectations from the cover display after using the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra, since I was able to use several apps and functionalities on the tiny screen.  (HT Tech)

For photography, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has received an upgraded 50MP main camera with an ISOCELL GN3 sensor that captures great images in low light as well as in good lighting conditions. So far, I am impressed with its ability to capture the scene in its natural element without any saturation or post-processing of the image. While the smartphone does not have a telephoto camera, it still retains promising zoom capabilities.  (HT Tech)

While I will talk about the performance in the full review, I must say Samsung has excelled in the way of integrating AI features into its foldable devices. I played around with suggestive replies on the cover screen, Drawing assist, and portrait studio so far and it performs impressively and it's also fun to experiment with its ability. However, the portrait studio feature was quite similar to Oppo’s AI studio. More about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be discussed later in the full review.  (HT Tech)
