Have you ever seen a teardown video of a modern smartphone and wondered “what does this thing do?” Well, curious folks are in luck – Samsung has posted detailed views of the Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Flip6, and Galaxy Watch Ultra, along with an explanation of what each component does.
Let’s start with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6. These modern devices are so tightly packed that we have to look at both sides of each board and panel to see everything, no space is left empty. So, here are all the components seen from the front and back. You can read Samsung’s detailed post for more details about each individual component.
Some details that caught our attention include the new hinge (3) – it’s the key to making the Z Fold6 1.3mm thinner when folded. The use of reinforced materials kept the smaller hinge just as strong as the old one. The so-called wing plate (2) protects the display from damage and helps it fold and unfold easily.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is the first phone in the family to feature a vapor chamber (4). Also, the main display (1) uses Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) that is 60% thicker than the previous model and new coating materials and techniques have helped reduce reflectivity. Samsung has also managed to increase the capacity of both the main battery (5) and the sub-battery.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra features a next-generation bioactive sensor (1) with 13 LEDs (9 more than the previous sensor). The printed board assembly (4) houses an impressive 3nm chipset – the Exynos W1000 is 3 times faster and 30% more energy efficient than previous chips in the W series. The display (5) is equally impressive, capable of delivering 3,000 nits of brightness. You can read more about the Watch Ultra here.
