Samsung’s foldable smartphones have always occupied an important position in the market, and the Galaxy Z Fold series has attracted much attention with its unique design and powerful performance. With the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, people will naturally compare it with the previous generation Galaxy Z Fold 6. Today, let’s take a detailed look at the differences between these two phones.
I. Design and Size: A Slimmer Evolution
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 pursues extreme thinness and lightness in design, weighing only 215 grams, with a thickness of 8.9 mm when folded and 4.2 mm when unfolded, making it the slimmest and lightest in the series. Its outer screen adopts a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a wider 21:9 aspect ratio, which not only looks more like a traditional bar phone in appearance but also is more convenient to operate. The new Armor Flex hinge ensures thinness and lightness while enhancing durability and effectively reducing the visibility of creases at the screen folding point.
In contrast, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 weighs 239 grams and is thicker when folded. The outer screen is a 6.3-inch display without the wide – screen design of the Fold 7. Although the hinge part also has good durability, it is slightly inferior in terms of thinness, lightness and crease control.
Overall, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has made significant progress in terms of being slim and light, and the wider outer screen ratio improves the convenience of daily use; while the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is relatively heavy, and its outer screen size and ratio are slightly insufficient in terms of operational convenience.
II. Screen Display: A Larger View Upgrade
In terms of the inner screen, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is equipped with an 8 – inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main screen, which is larger than the 7.6 – inch inner screen of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. It provides users with a broader view and more screen space, bringing a more immersive experience whether for multitasking, watching videos or editing documents. At the same time, this screen has ultra – high contrast, pure black display and a peak brightness of up to 2600 nits, so that the screen content is still clearly visible even in direct sunlight.
The 7.6 – inch inner screen of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 also has a good display effect, with excellent color performance and contrast. However, due to its relatively small screen size, the content that can be displayed during multitasking is not as rich as that of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and its visibility in strong light is not as good as the high – brightness screen of the Fold 7.
Obviously, with its larger size and higher brightness screen, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 surpasses the Galaxy Z Fold 6 in display effect and visual experience, bringing a more shocking and clear screen display.
III. Performance: Powered by a Strong Chip
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip, which adopts advanced manufacturing process and has strong computing power and graphics processing ability. When running large games, multitasking and various complex applications, it can maintain smooth performance and almost no lag. Whether it is the loading speed or the application switching speed, it can bring users a fast – response experience.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chip. Although it is also a powerful chip that can meet the daily use needs of most users, compared with the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, it is slightly inferior in handling complex tasks and extreme performance. When running some large games with high performance requirements or multiple tasks running at the same time, there may be slight lag or heating.
IV. Camera Function: A Leap in High Pixels
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 uses a 200 – megapixel main camera for the first time in the series, which has a significant increase in pixel count compared with the 50 – megapixel main camera of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and can capture more details. Equipped with the AI – driven ProVisual engine, it can present clearer and more vivid photos whether shooting landscapes, people or night scenes. In addition, the field of view of the front main camera is increased to 100 degrees, which can accommodate more content when taking group selfies or landscape selfies.
The camera configuration of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 was also at a high level at that time. The 50 – megapixel main camera is paired with a 12 – megapixel ultra – wide – angle lens and a 10 – megapixel telephoto lens, which can meet the shooting needs of various scenarios. However, there is a certain gap with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in terms of pixel count and shooting effect in low – light environments.
V. Battery Life: Guarantee of Long – Lasting Power
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a built – in 4400mAh battery. Combined with the optimized power management system and low – power screen and other hardware configurations, it can provide up to 24 hours of video playback battery life, basically meeting the normal use needs of most users for a whole day. In terms of charging, it supports fast charging technology, which can recharge the phone in a short time.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is also equipped with a 4400mAh battery, but its video playback battery life is 23 hours, slightly lower than that of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. In terms of charging speed, it is basically at the same level as the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
To sum up, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has made significant improvements and upgrades compared with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 in many aspects such as design, screen, performance, camera and battery life. If you are a user who pursues extreme thinness and lightness, strong performance, excellent shooting effect and a more immersive screen experience, then the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is undoubtedly a better choice. Of course, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is still a very excellent foldable phone.
