Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 crease to be smaller, Flip 7 to get new hinge
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 might bring a smaller crease over its predecessor. A new report indicates that the company will use thicker ultra-thin glass (UTG) for the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s folding screen.
Upgraded ultra-thin glass (UTG) in Galaxy Z Flip 6 will result in a smaller crease and durable screen. While the Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes with a UTG of 30 microns, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 might use 50 microns thicker UTG.
TheElec reports that the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s new UTG should bring improved surface hardness and a smaller crease. Besides, a new hinge and even thicker UTG is expected to be employed in the next Flip smartphone.
The South Korean tech giant has greatly reduced the crease visibility with each iteration. Last year, both foldable phones debuted the new waterdrop hinge, which lets them fold flat without leaving a gap in the middle.
Samsung hasn’t yet confirmed the launch of its upcoming foldable phones. However, the event is expected to take place on July 10 in Paris, France, in view of 2024 Olympics kicks off in the same month.

Samsung has released a new update for the Sound Assistant Good Lock module with version 6.1.00.9. This update introduces an important change for Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.
The fresh update of the Sound Assitant has removed the Reverse Stereo function for the Galaxy Fold 6 and Galaxy Flip 6. Samsung decided to remove this feature because recent changes to the system’s sound processing made it difficult to keep the function working properly.
The Reverse Stereo function allows users to switch the left and right audio channels. But now, this feature is no longer available for the latest foldable smartphones. The company has officially mentioned that they cannot guarantee stable functionality for the Reverse Stereo feature due to the recent changes in sound processing.
This update may be disappointing for users who use the reverse stereo feature in the sound assistant. However, Samsung aims to improve the stability of the device so that more audio functions work well.
Galaxy Fold 6 and Galaxy Flip 6 users will need to adjust to this change, but they can still enjoy other audio customization options in the sound assistant module. These latest smartphones already have several new and smart features.
Users can download the Samsung Sound Assitant 6.1.00.9 update from the Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates. Also, they can download the update from the third-party app source link mentioned here.
Samsung recently added One UI 6.1.1 support to the Sound Assistant Good Lock module. In addition, it added Galaxy Buds 3 icons to align the interface with Samsung’s latest wearable technology to ensure that users can enjoy a seamless experience when managing sound settings through Sound Assistant.
