The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 foldable phone is expected to be officially announced soon. Discover all the upcoming new features, prices and release date.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 should soon be officially revealed by the Korean firm. Traditionally, Samsung organizes a “Galaxy Unpacked” conference every summer where the next foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip, are presented.
This year, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 should therefore be presented by Samsung during the month of July 2024. It is rumored that the phone will be presented alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the Galaxy Ring connected ring and the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro headphones. While waiting for an official announcement, discover all the new features planned for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, its new prices and its estimated release date.
What are the features of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6?
According to the various rumors and information leaks already available, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 would not be a big revolution compared to its predecessor. The new features planned would be more on the software side and the internal components of the foldable smartphone.
What is the design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6?
Unfortunately for the company, the design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has already leaked on the web alongside its big brother, the Z Fold 6. These images seem to come from an official advertisement coming to Kazakhstan. It is therefore already possible to get an idea of the design of the next foldable flip smartphone.
We therefore observe a design almost similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 released during the summer of 2023. A larger external screen, but which still does not cover the entire available surface as Motorola does in particular with the Razr 40 Ultra.
The dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 would therefore be as follows: 165.0 x 71.7 x 7.4 mm. This represents a size a little smaller than its predecessor, but nothing really distinctive.
However, it is rumored that the fold of the Z Flip 6 screen is less visible compared to its predecessors. According to information from the site TheElec, Samsung would have worked on a screen leaving a less significant fold for the Galaxy Z Flip 6. We will have to wait to see if this difference is felt or not.
A few images of leaked units also revealed a new colorway in the works for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6: black.
How does the Galaxy Z Flip 6 perform?
Barring a big surprise, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 would be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, the latest from Qualcomm. For reference, it is this processor that can be found in many high-end phones like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra or the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. There is no doubt that this processor should allow the Z Flip 6 to display excellent performance.
However, several rumors report certain versions of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 equipped with an Exynos processor, Samsung’s in-house chips. Would these be versions only intended for the European market? Or a less expensive Galaxy Z Flip?
To support this processor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 would be equipped with at least 8 GB of RAM. However, it could be that the firm decides to offer 12 or 16 GB to facilitate the addition of Galaxy AI within the foldable smartphone.
What is the battery life and charging of the Galaxy Z Flip 6?
The latest information regarding the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 reports an improved battery compared to its predecessor. The foldable phone would go from a 3700 mAh battery to 4000 mAh so it can be used for longer. However, we will have to see if this modification is not simply to counterbalance the addition of a new processor that consumes more energy than last year.
The other side of the coin concerns the charging of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. The latter would still be stuck at 25 W as has been the case for almost 3 years on this range of smartphones. Not really fast charging, especially if the battery capacity increases again this year.
What is the price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6?
Although there is currently no official announcement regarding the prices of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, there are already several rumors on the subject. In 2023, Samsung increased the price of its foldable flip phone by unveiling a Z Flip 5 available from 1,199 euros. An increase that did not concern the American market where the Z Flip 5 still stood at $999.
This year, however, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 would see its price increase in several international markets. According to information from the Smartprix site and leaker OnLeaks, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 would see its base price increase to $1099 in the US.
Will this price increase also be valid in Europe? We think not and that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be offered at prices similar to its predecessor, i.e. 1199 euros in its basic configuration (8/256 GB).
When is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 release date?
Samsung is expected to fully unveil its new Galaxy Z Flip 6 during its upcoming conference. Entitled “Galaxy Unpacked”, the latter is generally organized during the summer.
The next “Galaxy Unpacked” would be organized at the beginning of July according to recent information leaks. The firm should reveal all the information relating to several new products, including the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.
If the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is indeed scheduled for July 10 as evidenced by this leak, it is a safe bet that the foldable phone will be available for sale in the days that follow.
