A Distinct Imprint

Floating Design is a symbolic design element newly applied to Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6, giving the impression the screen is floating above the body from the side. When folded, the bold line along the side emphasizes the linear form, and makes it easier to open for better usability.

Symmetrical Shape

Sleek Appearance

The linear form is a central element to the Galaxy Z Fold6 design, maximized by its sleek shape.

On Galaxy Z Fold6, the camera decoration’s bold design highlights the row of three circles, and Galaxy Z Flip6 conveys the Galaxy Z Flip series’ bright and bubbly personality through a bolder camera design, along with the matching camera decoration and body color.

Light and Shadow Wallpaper

Harmonious Expression

Designed in geometric shapes, the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 wallpaper highlights the products’ exterior style within the display as well. The landscape created by the graceful movements of light and shadow resembles soft light resting on the product’s rear haze glass.

The wallpaper’s color palette varies based on the image each product color conveys, bringing it to life.
