On July 10th (local time), the 'Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2024' event was held in Paris, France. At this event, various new products, including the 'Galaxy Z Fold6' and 'Galaxy Z Flip6,' were unveiled. Through this Unpacked event, Samsung showcased its upgraded foldable displays and advanced AI features. The sleek, linear design and the thinnest and lightest weight in the history of the Z series also garnered significant attention from media outlets worldwide.
Enhanced display performance!
The most notable products at this Unpacked event were the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Flip6.
The Galaxy Z Fold6 features a 7.6-inch main display and a 6.3-inch cover display. The cover display has increased by 0.1 inches compared to the previous model and adopts a 22.1:9 aspect ratio, offering a user experience similar to that of bar-type smartphones.
The Galaxy Z Flip6 features a 6.7-inch main display and a 3.4-inch cover display.
While the display sizes are the same as or slightly larger than the previous models, the actual weight and thickness of the product have been reduced, making it lighter. Additionally, the performance has been significantly enhanced.
The Galaxy Z Fold6 supports brightness levels of up to 2,600 nits, which is 1.5 times higher than its predecessor, allowing for clear and bright visibility even under sunlight. The Vision Booster feature optimizes the screen's color according to the surrounding environment. Additionally, 'Ray Tracing,' which provides lifelike and vivid graphics, enables an immersive gaming experience for users.
Technological evolution of foldable OLED with enhanced durability!
At this event, Samsung showcased the evolution of its foldable technology, which began in 2008. The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 are equipped with Samsung's sixth-generation foldable OLED, encapsulating all of Samsung's foldable display advancements to date.
Despite having the slimmest design among all Galaxy Z series models, the durability has been further enhanced. The dual rail hinge structure effectively disperses external impacts. Additionally, the display protection layer is coated with a new material, Shear Thickening Fluid (STF), which minimizes screen deformation and improves the appearance of creases. The new wiring design minimizes the bezels and maximizes screen space, providing an immersive, expansive display.
Samsung's first AI foldable phone with revolutionary AI features
The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 feature innovative foldable displays combined with various AI capabilities.
The cover screen 'FlexWindow' of the Galaxy Z Flip6, enhanced with Galaxy AI, has been upgraded to allow users to view multiple pieces of information simultaneously by combining several widgets on the cover screen.
Additionally, the camera functionality has been significantly improved with the new 50MP wide-angle and 12MP ultra-wide-angle cameras. The new 50MP high-resolution sensor supports 2x zoom at an optical zoom level, providing results with no loss of quality. With the AI zoom solution, users can zoom up to 10x while still capturing clear and sharp photos. The 'FlexCam' feature, which launches the camera directly from the FlexWindow, offers various shooting experiences. By folding the Galaxy Z Flip6 in half and using the FlexWindow to take photos, the new AI-based 'Auto Zoom' function recognizes the subject and automatically adjusts to create the optimal photo composition.
The Galaxy Z Fold6 has enhanced the S Pen experience through AI. With the newly added 'Sketch to Image' feature, you can use the S Pen to add sketches on photos in the gallery or on notes. Generative AI then transforms simple sketches into detailed images.
From voice conversion to translation via dual screens!
Breaking boundaries with AI features
At this event, Samsung introduced advanced AI features through collaboration with Google. With the ‘Google Gemini’ app, available on the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6, users can bring up the 'Assistant.' This allows them to receive real-time flight and hotel reservation information, making it easier to plan efficient trips and receive various forms of assistance. Additionally, the 'Voice Recording to Text Conversion' feature enables users to convert voice recordings directly into s in the 'Samsung Notes' app, and also offers translation and summarization capabilities.
Maximizing its unique dual screen form factor, ‘Interpreter’ comes with a new conversation mode that enables both parties to conveniently view translations on the main and cover screens for more natural interactions.
New Galaxy wearables adding joy to everyday life
At this event, various new wearable products were introduced in addition to smartphones.
The Galaxy Buds3 series, released in two models: 'Galaxy Buds3 Pro' and 'Galaxy Buds3,' offers a new real-time voice translation feature. The highly anticipated 'Galaxy Ring' was also unveiled. This ultra-compact smart ring, equipped with advanced sensor technology, can track key health metrics even during sleep and provide 24/7 comprehensive health monitoring.
The 'Galaxy Watch7' supports differentiated health management features through health monitoring and personalized workout coaching. The newly introduced 'Galaxy Watch Ultra' boasts a display with a brightness of up to 3,000 nits, ensuring excellent visibility even under bright sunlight. In dark environments, it automatically switches to Night Mode, providing optimal readability at night.
