Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 / Samsung Galaxy S23+ (SM-S916B)

Counting the rounded corners the screen is 6.6 inches. A light crease can be visible at the fold; Samsung says new screen layers reduce it.

Notifications, widgets, music controls and suggested replies work without opening the phone; the actual viewable area is about 95% because of the corners and the lower cutout.

The vapor chamber spreads heat from the chip over a wider area to delay throttling in long gaming and recording sessions; it is a first for the Z Flip line.

There is no memory card slot; storage cannot be expanded later.

Available storage is lower because of preloaded software; there is no memory card slot.

There is no telephoto camera; Samsung does 2x zoom by cropping the 50 MP sensor and up to 10x with AI-assisted digital zoom.

The telephoto gives 3x optical zoom; zoom beyond that is digital. According to Samsung the wide camera records 8K video at 30 fps.

With the phone closed the rear cameras can also take selfies, using the cover screen as a viewfinder.

The rated capacity is 3,887 mAh. The 25 W adapter is sold separately. Wireless PowerShare lets the back of the phone charge Qi-compatible devices such as earbuds and watches.

The 4 in IP48 only protects against solid objects larger than 1 mm; it does not mean dust-tight. Samsung does not advise beach or pool use.

The 6 GHz band of Wi-Fi 6E needs a compatible router and is not open in every country.

Wi‑Fi 6E needs a router that supports 6 GHz; band availability varies by market and operator.

The refresh rate varies between 48 and 120 Hz depending on content; the lower rate on static screens saves battery. Vision Booster adjusts contrast and colour to keep the screen readable in bright light. The size is measured as a full rectangle; the viewable area is smaller because of the rounded corners and camera hole.

According to Samsung, the S23 series was the first S series to use Victus 2.

Samsung introduced this version as a Snapdragon optimised for Galaxy and exclusive to the S23 series at launch.

The typical value is the average of battery samples measured by a third-party lab under IEC 61960; the rated value is the minimum capacity.

45 W needs a 5 A cable; the adapter is sold separately. Wired charging is compatible with QC2.0 and AFC, wireless with WPC. PowerShare needs more than 30% battery to charge another device. The S23 is limited to 25 W.

Samsung promised four Android upgrades and five years of security updates for the S23 series; timing varies by model and market.
