The Galaxy AI features we saw with the Galaxy S24 will be making a return, this time with enhancements for the optional S Pen with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 — Sketch to Image will allow you to quickly transform your drafted ideas into beautiful pictures.The ProVisual Engine makes a return — it’s Samsung’s name for a camera system that provides excellent image preview, takes pristine photos, and gives you extensive tools to perfect them in post. With the large screen of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, you can edit your Portrait Mode shots in Portrait Studio to recreate anything from the effects of a professional photoshoot to drawn cartoons.
As usual, Samsung is celebrating the launch with the Enhanced Trade-in offers for anyone who pre-orders early! Free storage upgrade makes a return — for the pre-sale period, you get $120 off on any model you pick, which essentially brings the 512 GB version to the price of 256 GB. Gere’s a breakdown of the offers:
- Galaxy Z Fold 6 512 GB – $699.99 with trade-in, $1,899.99 w/o trade-in
- Galaxy Z Fold 6 1 TB – $819.99 with trade-in, $2,019.99 w/o trade-in
- Galaxy Z Flip 6 512 GB – $449.99 with trade-in, $1,099 w/o trade-in
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 now comes with a wider external display — a 6.3-inch screen with a 22.1:9 aspect ratio will look and feel more like a “normal smartphone”, instead of the narrow window we had before. The main screen inside is 7.6 inches, almost square at 20.9:18. Both are Dynamic AMOLED panels with a 120 Hz refresh rate.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6’s external 3.4-inch screen is now the new FlexWindow — powered by AI, it will serve you notifications and suggestions for replies, generated from your own writing and reply style. You can also get at-a-glimpse info for S Health, Weather, music playback. The FlexWindow can change wallpapers depending on time and weather. Screen layout suggestions will also help by auto-positioning app icons so they match your wallpaper better.

With the current pre-order deals, you can try out the next generation of the Samsung foldable experience at massive discounts — and you get a free storage upgrade to boot! Even if you don’t have a device to trade-in, you get that and a $100 Samsung Store credit to spend on a fancy case for that cool new foldable.
If you do have a slightly older device, Samsung’s Enhanced Trade-in program will give you slightly more money than typical — it’s easier than flipping it on the second-hand market, and ensures the device gets a proper recycling.
