【Down Town】

Samsung makes new foldables every year,Down Town but it can't reinvent the wheel on an annual basis.

The best evidence of that is the new Galaxy Z Flip 6, the latest clamshell foldable from Samsung that was announced at Galaxy Unpacked on Wednesday morning. This year's edition comes in four colors: Yellow, Blue, Mint, and Silver Shadow.

From a hardware perspective, this is arguably the least Samsung has done to iterate on a Flip foldable since the line debuted. However, what few improvements Samsung made are important on paper — and software enhancements are a thing, too. Here are the basic specs, with differences from last year's Flip 5 noted in parentheses:

• 6.7-inch AMOLED inner display with 120Hz refresh rate

• 3.4-inch cover display with 60Hz refresh rate

• 12GB RAM (was 8GB on Flip 5)

• 256GB or 512GB storage

• Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor (was Gen 2 on Flip 5)

• 4,000mAh battery (was 3,700mAh on Flip 5)

In other words, the Z Flip 6 has functionally identical displays and the same amount of storage as last year's phone, while the RAM, processor, and battery have all been upgraded.

But wait, there's more. The Z Flip 5's main wide angle rear camera lens was a paltry 12MP shooter, but Samsung replaced that with a 50MP lens this year. Although the Galaxy Z Flip 6's 12MP ultrawide camera doesn't have any hardware upgrades, Samsung boasts that it has better low-light noise reduction and now supports HDR video and 4K video at 60 frames per second.

Plus, all the Galaxy AI features that rolled out on the Galaxy flagships earlier this year are now available on the Galaxy Z Flip 6.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is now available for preorder with a starting price of $1,099.99, a $100 price increase over its predecessor's price tag.
