Galaxy Z Fold6 vs. Galaxy Z Flip6: Which foldable device is best for your business?

Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 are here to power your workday in ways only a foldable smartphone can achieve. Introduced at the recent Galaxy Unpacked event, these foldables bring Galaxy AI1 to the updated foldable landscape, so you can be productive and connected everywhere you go, with your own personal AI assistant readily available at all times.

Although Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 share a foldable form factor, they are quite different devices, each designed for specific business users.

As its name suggests, Galaxy Z Flip6 is the reincarnation of the flip phone. Ultra-compact and pocketable when closed, it opens to give you a sizable screen comparable to Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Series. Galaxy Z Flip6 also features a convenient flex cover screen for you to view notifications, respond to messages and make quick calls.

Galaxy Z Fold6 has a book-like form factor. When closed, it’s a compact and comfortable mobile device. Unfolded, it’s a spacious tablet that’s built for multi-window productivity. The internal screen is also compatible with Samsung S Pen technology and provides plenty of space for note-taking or sketching out ideas.

With these key differences in mind, which Galaxy foldable is best for you and your team? Read on for a full rundown of Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 to help you make your decision.

Galaxy Z Fold6: A tablet and smartphone in one

Ideal for entrepreneurs, executives, and business owners, Galaxy Z Fold6 unfolds from a smartphone into a tablet with a sleek, zero-gap design. As Samsung’s most powerful foldable yet, it addresses on-the-go business leaders’ most pressing needs, including:

Multitasking

Multitasking on a mobile device has been limited by the constraints of screen size for too long. With Galaxy Z Fold6, you can work on your phone much more like you would on a PC. Unfold the device to work in multiple windows with foldable-optimized apps. In addition to the convenient Edge Panel featured on other Samsung mobile devices, Galaxy Z Fold6 has a taskbar that’s always visible when you have an app open. Use the taskbar to quickly toggle between apps, or launch up to three apps side by side, so you can work across documents and compare data with a tap of your finger. Plus, key productivity apps — including Microsoft Office, Outlook, and GoodNotes — allow you to drag and drop content from one window to another. Do more on a screen built to handle more.

Screen size

Need to review a sales report on the go or make edits to a presentation between meetings? Galaxy Z Fold6’s expansive screen gives you tablet-sized productivity in your pocket. The phone-to-tablet convertible form factor — in a pocket-sized device — sets the foldable apart as the most flexible mobile solution for business. With a nearly invisible camera hiding under the display, the entire screen is a dedicated workspace from edge to edge.

With so much space to get work done, Galaxy AI becomes even more powerful on Galaxy Z Fold6. The extra screen real estate is helpful when using Galaxy AI features such as Note Assist, Interpreter, and Photo Assist, as well as Circle to Search with Google.

Hands-free videoconferencing

Videoconferencing is now an essential feature for business. In FlexMode, Galaxy Z Fold6 can stand up on its own — literally — as a stable tool for mobile videoconferencing. Flex the phone and set it on any flat surface to go hands-free and get more done. Whether you’re talking with your hands or using them to take notes with the optional S Pen, FlexMode makes it easy to stay connected on the go.

Device consolidation

Being productive on the go is a must, but traditional mobile devices don’t enable optimal productivity, leading many business owners to lug around tablets and laptops. Galaxy Z Fold6 lightens your work bag and simplifies your tool kit with a phone, tablet, and PC all combined into one. From sleek mobile devices to super-slim tablets to mobile-powered desktop computing with Samsung DeX, you have the ultimate in device consolidation: one device that can do it all.

You can extend Galaxy Z Fold6 into a desktop experience by running Samsung DeX wirelessly on any Miracast-enabled display, such as Samsung Smart Monitors. Galaxy Z Fold6 can then turn into a trackpad — or, for even more multitasking, you can continue using it as a phone by pairing a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Efficiency

When you add the S Pen Fold Edition to your Galaxy Z Fold6, you can take advantage of intuitive note-taking, annotating, editing, and many other productivity tricks on the large, tablet-sized screen. The S Pen rewrites your definition of efficiency.

Looking to do even more with your S Pen? The S Pen Pro comes with Bluetooth connectivity for remote control functionality.

Microsoft integration

A more collaborative team is a happier and more productive team. However, collaborating remotely proves challenging at times, especially from mobile devices. Samsung’s Galaxy of foldable-optimized business apps continues to grow and bridge the gap between mobile and desktop productivity.

Microsoft Office is outstanding on Galaxy Z Fold6. Work in PowerPoint, Excel, and Word to edit, review, and share documents with PC-like productivity. The menus closely resemble their desktop versions, while Multi-Active Windows makes it easy to work across different documents. Drag and drop, including the relatively new two-handed drag and drop feature, is also helpful for moving images or blocks of text in a single motion — no copy-paste required. Whenever you step away from your PC, all your apps are ready to go on Galaxy Z Fold6, so you won’t miss a beat.

Galaxy Z Flip6: Flip the script of the work phone

Employees want the latest mobile device with the newest features and a seamless experience. Galaxy Z Flip6 answers the call for an attractive Choose Your Own Device (CYOD) option. Galaxy Z Flip6 enables business professionals to tap into:

Compact productivity

To pack in productivity tools, phone screens have maxed out the size that can comfortably fit in someone’s pocket. Galaxy Z Flip6 cuts the size of a smartphone in half and then unfolds to the bigger screen that users want and need. It’s equal parts flashy, functional, portable and powerful.

Connectivity

We all know work doesn’t stop when you close your phone. While smaller notification screens may leave a “…” that requires you to unlock the device to view a full notification, Galaxy Z Flip6’s outer screen serves as a more informative notification center. The display allows you to swipe through and check your notifications in full, so you’re always in the know. Answer calls, respond to texts, and check the weather, all without even opening the phone.

FlexMode convenience

Like Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Z Flip6 is great for hand-talkers. Flex it to the perfect angle, set it down, and run conference calls hands-free from virtually anywhere.

FlexMode is also great for photography and video capture. Whether you’re taking a group photo or producing social media content, you no longer need a tripod to get a super steady shot. Galaxy Z Flip6 has a new FlexCam feature that provides perfect framing, every time, composed with Galaxy AI. Camcorder Mode is also new, allowing you to control the phone as a video camera with one hand while Smooth Zoom stabilizes your footage.

Multitasking

Galaxy Z Flip6 is made for multitasking. Unfolded, it allows for a split-screen view — either vertically or horizontally — so you can check your emails and calendar availability simultaneously. And with an optimized Office experience on Galaxy Z Flip6, you can even edit a document while referencing another, side by side.

Galaxy AI for business is here

Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 create new ways to work on a mobile device with the help of Galaxy AI. If you need an ultra-compact mobile device that can keep you in the loop while closed, you might opt for Galaxy Z Flip6. On the other hand, if you’re a small business owner, startup entrepreneur or power user who’s always on the move, the advanced productivity capabilities of Galaxy Z Fold6 might be more your speed.

From productivity and flexibility to durability, privacy and enterprise-grade Samsung Knox security, both of Samsung’s flagship foldables are built for business users to excel with secure AI. Galaxy Z Assurance and Samsung Care+ for Business give you additional peace of mind that your device will hold up, while convenient everyday features like Samsung Wallet let you travel and work seamlessly. Whether you choose Galaxy Z Fold6 or Galaxy Z Flip6, you can explore new experiences, pursue deeper passions, and be the best version of yourself.
