While Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip6 was recently launched alongside the Galaxy Z Fold6 at an event in Paris, shipments of the latter have begun in several markets. A new teardown video now shows some of the main physical components of the new device.
In PBKReview’s teardown video, you’ll notice some immediate improvements in the Z Flip6 over the Z Flip5, like the use of a 50MP sensor in the main camera.
The 2024 model also features a larger combined battery capacity of 4,000mAh, compared to its predecessor’s 3,700mAh.
It is divided into two cells – the main one with 2,870 mAh and a secondary cell with a capacity of 1,130 mAh.
As GSM Arena explains, the Z Flip5’s battery has been split into a 2,700mAh primary cell and a 1,000mAh secondary cell, so the latest edition has managed to fit more into each.
Another major improvement this year is the addition of a vapor chamber, which is essential for cooling the chipset. In the Z Flip6, it is large and is said to be even larger than the one in the S24 Ultra.
The Galaxy Z Flip6 also received a higher repairability score than the Z Flip5, with the difference being in the ease of repairing the screens.
Another similar video by JerryRigEverything also tests the durability of the new Galaxy Z Flip6 and shows off this large vapor chamber. The video takes apart the display. The first layer is the plastic protector, followed by another layer, and then underneath that is the UTG which can crack like regular glass. The device has a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED FlexWindow display on the outside and a 6.7-inch internal display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
