At a quick glance you might shrug that the Galaxy Z Flip 6's specs are but a small boost over that of the Flip 5; mainly a new chip. But there's more to the new Flip's specs than meets the eye.
First off, that new Snapdragon chip offers a boost in performance across the board, but also has the same AI engine as the Galaxy S24 meaning its got the chops to handle all manner of AI workloads. That's handy as the Galaxy Z Flip 6 comes preloaded with Galaxy AI features such as Generative Edit, along with smart features customized for the flip format.
On top of that, the Flip 6 gets the first vapour chamber cooling system for a Flip phone, and one that's 150% larger than that of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. So that should help the Flip 6 handle demanding workloads and intensive gaming for longer.
Another core upgrade is the Galaxy Z Flip 6 now has a 50-megapixel main camera, which means it can capture a lot more image data for smart photo processing to feed upon and produce pleasing photography. But there's also a stealth upgrade in that the 12MP ultra-wide camera has been upgraded to better handle low-light photography and support HDR capture. Furthermore, night mode on the cameras has been boosted due to a dedicated image signaling processing block.
