Samsung unveiled the latest versions of its foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, during its Unpacked event on Wednesday. While the devices share many of the same features, there are some differences between their cameras, displays and, most notably, prices. Here’s how the folding phones compare.
Ultimately, the two foldables are different in approach: The book-style Z Fold 6 has a cover display you use like a traditional smartphone, while the inner display unfolds for a near-tablet-size screen to use for productivity and gaming. The clamshell Z Flip 6, on the other hand, works like a traditional smartphone when it’s unfolded but when closed up has half the footprint, making it small enough to fit in your pocket or bag. Â
One of the biggest differences between the two, of course, is in display size.

When it comes to rear cameras, the Z Fold 6 has a 50-megapixel wide, 12-megapixel ultrawide and 10-megapixel 3x telephoto camera. The Z Flip 6 has a 50-megapixel wide and 12-megapixel ultrawide camera. Meanwhile, the Z Fold 6 has a 4-megapixel inner under-display selfie camera, and a 10-megapixel selfie camera on the cover. The Z Flip 6 has a 10-megapixel front-facing camera.
Both phones are powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. They each come with 12GB RAM and 256GB or 512GB of internal storage, while the Z Fold 6 also comes in a 1TB option. Neither have expandable storage.
