What to anticipate: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 (and Z Flip FE)

We haven’t seen any point out of LTPO, however the S24 trio converted and now affords variable refresh charges (as much as 120Hz), so it’s not out of the realm of risk.

Dimensions

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 reportedly measures 165.0 x 71.7 x 7.4mm when unfolded. That’s half a millimeter thicker than the Z Flip5, which is 165.1 x 71.9 x 6.9mm. As you’ll be able to see, the larger show received’t make the telephone itself greater, so this could imply slimmer bezels.

Listed here are speculative renders displaying the Z Flip6, which present basically the identical design.

Based mostly on unofficial studies, the Galaxy Z Flip6 will come within the following colorways: Gentle Blue, Gentle Inexperienced, Silver and Yellow.

Greater battery

As you may need guessed, the thicker design means a bigger battery – the Z Flip6 is claimed to characteristic a 4,000mAh battery, which is 300mAh greater than the Z Flip5. Will probably be break up between two cells – 1,097mAh and a pair of,790mAh.

That may be a whole rated capability of three,887mAh, typical capability ought to be marketed because the aforementioned 4,000mAh. For comparability, the Z Flip5 battery break up is 971mAh + 2,620mAh for 3,591mAh rated and three,700mAh typical capability.

Exynos and/or Snapdragon

In March we noticed studies that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 can be geared up with the brand new Exynos 2400, the identical chip that’s inside world Galaxy S24 variants. In our testing, the Exynos proved to be fairly quick, however the small Galaxy S24 struggled to maintain it cool. Samsung is reportedly bettering the cooling on the brand new Flip, nevertheless it’s not clear whether or not that can be sufficient – the Z Flip5 was notably dangerous beneath sustained load.

Earlier this month we noticed a Galaxy Z Flip6 check lead to Geekbench with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. We could also be taking a look at yet one more regional break up with some Flips getting the Samsung chip and others the Qualcomm one.

As for the Galaxy Z Flip FE, that one will reportedly use the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. There’s no point out of the Exynos 1480, however the 7s Gen 2 comes from the Samsung foundries, so there may be some familial connection.

12GB of RAM, 8GB for the FE

Earlier Flips have been capped at 8GB of RAM, however this 12 months the Z Flip6 ought to comply with within the footsteps of the S24+ and get a 12GB RAM possibility. That stated, the Geekbench check consequence above confirmed 8GB, so that can stay the bottom capability.

The Galaxy Z Flip FE will stay at 8GB – it’s the inexpensive model, in spite of everything.

Transferring on to the storage, the FE is claimed to have 256GB and 512GB choices. These match the Z Flip5 choices and ought to be what the Z Flip6 affords as effectively (a 1TB model is just not unattainable, simply unlikely).

50MP essential digicam

As you will have observed, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 can have a twin digicam. The Flips have featured 12+12MP twin cameras from the get go and they don’t seem to be getting a devoted tele digicam anytime quickly.

There can be an improve this 12 months, the Z Flip6 will characteristic a 50MP main digicam, in keeping with rumors. This could include 2x in-sensor zoom. And, hopefully, larger high quality daytime and nighttime pictures at 1x too. The Z Flip5 digicam was already fairly good, however the competitors hasn’t been standing nonetheless.

The extremely huge digicam is predicted to stay at 12MP, the selfie digicam in all probability received’t be upgraded both.

What else?

It goes with out saying that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 will characteristic the brand new Galaxy AI options. Software program help (OS updates and safety patches) will prone to be bumped as much as 7 years like with the S24 collection.

What about value? We don’t know but, however we anticipate that the Galaxy Z Flip6 can be in the identical value bracket because the Z Flip5, whereas the Z Flip FE can be a step decrease.
