Samsung is anticipated to hold its huge Unpacked occasion in early Julythe occasion that will bring the brand-new foldables, the Galaxy Ring and potentially other brand-new items. The timing is planned to line up with the Olympics (which begin on July 26) as Samsung is a significant sponsor and will desire its glossy brand-new devices to be front and.
The next generation of Galaxy foldables has actually dripped many times and we wished to sum up a number of months of leakages and reports here, so that you understand what to anticipate come July. This post will concentrate on the Galaxy Z Flip6, another one will cover the Galaxy Z Fold6.
Less expensive FE design inbound
Samsung was an early mover in the collapsible field and the innovation has actually been enhancing with every generation. Something that has actually stayed fairly continuous is the rate. It appears like the business is lastly at a point where it is all set to use a more budget-friendly design along with the routine flagship-grade Flip.
The phone is tentatively called Galaxy Z Flip FEsimilar to the Galaxy S FE series. It will determine 165.2 x 71.9 x 6.9 mm unfolded, the like the Z Flip5, while the Z Flip6 will be somewhat thicker (more on that in a bit). This may recommend that this is truly a Galaxy Z Flip5 FE with some or the majority of the hardware obtained from the 2023 design.
An even larger cover screen
Among the significant upgrades on the Galaxy Z Flip5 was the so-called Flex Window– the 3.4″ cover display screen. Compared to the 1.9″ line display screen of the previous design, this truly altered how you utilized the phone. It might show more than basic widgets, undoubtedly it might run complete Android apps.
Samsung saw that it was great and obviously it wishes to go even larger– the Galaxy Z Flip6 is stated have a 3.9″ cover screenWe do not understand that indicates as a percentage-wise boost as the shape of the cover screen is intricate and streams around the cams.

Gorilla Glass Armor, presently utilized on the S24 Ultra, may make a look. This brand-new kind of glass considerably minimizes reflectivity, however it might be included just on the cover screen.
When it comes to the primary screen inside, Samsung trademarked the term “Ironflex”
We have not seen any reference of LTPO, however the S24 trio switched and now uses variable refresh rates (approximately 120Hz), so it’s not out of the world of possibility.
Measurements
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 apparently steps 165.0 x 71.7 x 7.4 mm when unfolded. That’s half a millimeter thicker than the Z Flip5, which is 165.1 x 71.9 x 6.9 mm. As you can see, the larger screen will not make the phone itself larger, so this ought to suggest slimmer bezels.
Here are speculative renders revealing the Z Flip6, which reveal basically the exact same style.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 (speculative renders)
Based upon informal reports, the Galaxy Z Flip6 will be available in the following colorways: Light Blue, Light Green, Silver and Yellow.
Larger battery
As you may have thought, the thicker style suggests a bigger battery — the Z Flip6 is stated to include a 4,000 mAh battery, which is 300mAh more than the Z Flip5. It will be divided in between 2 cells– 1,097 mAh and 2,790 mAh.
That is an overall ranked capability of 3,887 mAh, common capability must be marketed as the previously mentioned 4,000 mAh. For contrast, the Z Flip5 battery split is 971mAh + 2,620 mAh for 3,591 mAh ranked and 3,700 mAh common capability.
Exynos and/or Snapdragon
In March we saw reports that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 will be geared up with the brand-new Exynos 2400the very same chip that is inside international Galaxy S24 versions. In our screening, the Exynos showed to be rather quickly, however the little Galaxy S24 had a hard time to keep it cool. Samsung is supposedly enhancing the cooling on the brand-new Flip, however it’s unclear whether that will suffice– the Z Flip5 was especially bad under continual load.
Previously this month we saw a Galaxy Z Flip6 test lead to Geekbench with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for GalaxyWe might be taking a look at yet another local split with some Flips getting the Samsung chip and others the Qualcomm one.

When it comes to the Galaxy Z Flip FE, that a person will supposedly utilize the Snapdragon sevens Gen 2There’s no reference of the Exynos 1480, however the sevens Gen 2 originates from the Samsung foundries, so there is some familial connection.
12GB of RAM, 8GB for the FE
Previous Flips were topped at 8GB of RAM, however this year the Z Flip6 ought to follow in the steps of the S24+ and get a 12GB RAM choiceThat stated, the Geekbench test outcome above revealed 8GB, so that will stay the base capability.
The Galaxy Z Flip FE will stay at 8GB– it is the inexpensive variation.
Carrying on to the storage, the FE is stated to have 256GB and 512GB choices. These match the Z Flip5 alternatives and ought to be what the Z Flip6 uses also (a 1TB variation is possible, simply not likely).
50MP primary electronic camera
As you might have seen, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 will have a double video camera. The Flips have actually included 12 +12 MP double video cameras from the start and they are not getting a devoted tele cam anytime quickly.
There will be an upgrade this year, the Z Flip6 will include a 50MP main camaccording to reports. This need to include 2x in-sensor zoom. And, ideally, greater quality daytime and nighttime chance ats 1x too. The Z Flip5 cam was currently rather great, however the competitors hasn’t been stalling.
The ultra broad electronic camera is anticipated to stay at 12MP, the selfie cam most likely will not be updated either.
What else?
It goes without stating that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 will include the brand-new Galaxy AI functions. Software application assistance (OS updates and security spots) will likely to be bumped approximately 7 years like with the S24 series.
What about cost? We do not understand yet, however we anticipate that the Galaxy Z Flip6 will remain in the very same cost bracket as the Z Flip5, while the Z Flip FE will be an action lower.
