(SPOT.ph) The latest of Samsung's flagship smartphones—the S24 Series—had their time to shine at the South Korean tech giant’s first Galaxy Unpacked early this year. And now, just a few months later, at the second bi-annual Samsung show, it's the foldables stealing the spotlight.

Samsung unpacked the all-new Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 alongside Galaxy Buds3, Galaxy Buds3 Pro, Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra on Wednesday, July 10, 9 p.m. Time-wise, it’s earlier than previous Unpacked events—which commence at around 2 a.m.—which made it easier to stay up for and take note of all the necessary highlights in case you missed them.

Samsung unpacks the latest Galaxy Z Series: the Fold 6 and Z Flip6.

The power of Galaxy AI allows these new phones to surpass the capabilities of the foldable Galaxy Z series. The gadget's versatile form combined with enhanced AI features make for a range of unique mobile experiences. Among these is the use of the newly-embedded transcript feature. There’s also, of course, the Circe to Search from the S24 series, Interpreter with new conversation modes, as well as the live translation, among others.

“Samsung’s long history of innovation has allowed us to lead in the mobile space, creating the foldable form factor and ushering in the mobile AI era. Now, we are excited to bring these two complementary technologies together and unlock new possibilities for users around the world,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics.

“Our foldables meet the unique needs of every user and now enhanced by the power of Galaxy AI, Samsung is delivering an experience like never before.”

The latest Z series drop is touted to be the “slimmest and lightest Galaxy Z series ever.”

The Z Fold6 has a perfectly symmetrical design with a straight edge, kind of like your Ultra with that boxed, sharper look. The Z Fold6 is slightly larger, yet thinner and lighter than its predecessor, the Z Fold5. It weighs 239 grams while the Flip6 is 187 grams. 

Both phones are in matte finish, which provides more grip (no more slipping from your hands onto your face when you're lying down). They have their slim and innovative FlexHinge, a.k.a Samsung's gapless hinge that allows users to fold the phones shut without leaving the gap.

One of the most noticeable changes is the thicker rings around the camera lenses.

Both the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Flip6 are equipped with the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for Galaxy4, a.k.a the most advanced Snapdragon mobile processor yet. Optimum performance, especially when you’re playing games or watching your favorite K-Drama series, is guaranteed. 

It’s not a Z Flip without the FlexWindow a.k.a the cover screen—and the Z Flip6 has a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED FlexWindow like its predecessor. You can also enable AI-assisted functions without even needing to open the device. Yup, it also has more widgets as well as the AI-powered Photo Ambient feature that allows you to put a wallpaper that can change in real-time based on the time and weather. Talk about making the most out of your FlexWindow.

Samsung doesn't play around when it comes to the camera—a.k.a the most important feature of all, this being a world of content creation and aesthetic IG feeds. The Z Fold6 has a 12-megapixel Ultra-Wide Camera; a 50-megapixel Wide-Angle camera; and a 10-megapixel Telephoto Camera. The Z Flip6 has the same, sans the telephoto camera. Both phones have a 10-megapixel Selfie Camera. 

The Z Flip6, thanks to the FlexWindow, boasts of the FlexCam. It has a new Auto-Zoom function that allows the camera to find the best framing for your shot—which makes this perfect for solo travelers and group photos. 

The Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 are packed with 4,400 mAh and 4,000 mAh battery, respectively. It's the longest-lasting battery on a Galaxy Z Flip.

Since we're in the subject of cool features, the Z Fold6 allows you to transcribe, translate, and even summarize voice recordings directly in Samsung Notes. No more back-and-forth writing comments as you’re recording. Your PDF files—yes, all your important documents—can be translated and overlaid through the PDF overlay translation feature in Notes, if ever you have to work on your phone. Other AI-powered features like the Interpreter and Live Translate are made easier and more natural, too, also thanks to the dual-screens.

The Galaxy Z Fold6 is available in Silver Shadow, Pink, and Navy, while the Galaxy Z Flip6 is available in Silver Shadow, Yellow, Blue, and Mint. You can choose from more color options exclusively online through their website. There’s an online exclusive Crafted Black, White, and Peach for the Galaxy Z Flip6.
