Samsung just unveiled its 2024 foldables at the second big Unpacked press conference of the year, and they're available for preorder starting now. I came to Paris fully aware of what the rumors have been saying about this year's Fold and Flip phones. And they were largely on point. But I will say that you need to experience the phones in person, if you can, before dismissing them outright. Because, yes, that might be your first reaction, given that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 look a lot like last year's models.
I'll get the bad news out of the way first: There is no cheaper Galaxy Z Fold 6 Lite/FE to buy, or at least not yet. Samsung only launched two new foldable devices that look almost identical to their predecessors. They feel similar, too. What's worse is that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 will each cost you $100 more than their predecessors, with prices starting at $1,899 and $1,099.
Samsung might be playing it safe again with its foldable devices, but that's because it can afford to. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 look like the previous models, but they feature plenty of novelties that make them appealing — especially to Fold and Flip owners who are ready for an upgrade.
Then there's Galaxy AI, Samsung's suite of generative AI features that launched with the Galaxy S24 series earlier this year. After hitting last year's foldables, Galaxy AI will be available on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 right out of the box, complete with some Gemini AI assistant integration thanks to a partnership with Google.
