They call, they message, they access apps, they take pictures, and they play media.
So, how do these two Samsung phones compare?
Would we recommend one over the other for most people?
Weve reviewed both phones and tested their respective features extensively, so heres our definitive verdict.
Thats about a six month gap to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which landed on January 31.
When it comes to pricing, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is the cheaper of the two phones.

Theres also a 1TB model that costs $1,659.99 / 1,549 / AU$2,799.
Lets take a look at why that might be.
What it lacks in portability, it makes up for with extra ruggedness.

The Flip 6 gets by with inferior (but far from bad) Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
You also get a superior IP68 rating with the Ultra.
This means its far more dust-resistant than the IP48-rated Flip 6.

Theres a basic difference to the design language too.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra has a flat top and bottom edges, slightly rounded sides, and pointed corners.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6, by contrast, gives you a dead-flat frame with rounded corners.

Theres a secondary display to consider with the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Perhaps its best function is being able to serve as a preview screen for boosted selfie shots.
When it comes to the camera category, however, its a plain old no contest.

It also features autofocus, unlike the Flip 6 variant.
In fact, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has probably the best zoom set-up in the whole industry.
Its still a little fiddlier than a regular selfie, but it works.

Naturally, those superior sensors and a more advanced autofocus provision make for better footage whatever the resolution.
Both also feature 12GB of RAM.
Its a tie on paper, then, and both phones performed fluidly in our tests.

In terms of storage capacities, both give you 256GB and 512GB options.
Its broadly even on the software front.
It still feels like magic having your hand-written notes transformed into digital text.

More consequentially, it also means that you cant fit in such a large battery.
Sure enough, the Galaxy S24 Ultras 5,000mAh cell dwarfs the Galaxy Z Flip 6s 4,000mAh unit.
The Flip 6, by contrast, is only really good for a day of moderate usage.

Both phones support 15W wireless charging.
Its a flat out better phone, as reflected in our respective review scores.
However, these devices are sufficiently different in form to prompt a few caveats.
