The wait is almost over! Samsung’s next Unpacked event kicks off tomorrow, July 10th, and all signs point to the highly anticipated launch of the next generation of foldable phones: the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6.
We’ve gotten a sneak peek at what these new devices might offer. Here’s a taste of what to expect:
Thinner, Lighter, Stronger
Both phones are rumored to be lighter and slightly thinner than their predecessors, despite boasting longer battery life. This is thanks in part to advancements in materials like the “improved Armor Aluminum frame” on the Z Fold 6.
Display Upgrades
The Z Fold 6 is said to have a significantly brighter inner screen (2,600 nits!), perfect for content creators and outdoor enthusiasts. Both phones will also sport slightly larger secondary screens for more comfortable use when folded.
Performance Boost
The Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 are expected to pack the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, ensuring smooth performance and efficient battery usage. The Z Flip 6 gets an additional RAM boost to 12GB for even better multitasking capabilities.
Camera Upgrades
The Z Flip 6 is rumored to receive a major camera upgrade with a new 50MP main sensor, replacing the previous 12MP offering.
Durability Enhancements
Both phones claim IP48 ingress protection, offering some peace of mind against dust and water. While dust resistance might not be on par with some hopes, it’s a potential improvement over previous models.
Z Flip 6 Specifics
The Z Flip 6 is also said to be the first foldable with vapor chamber cooling, a technology typically found in high-performance gaming phones. Additionally, the popular Interpreter Mode, which translates languages in real-time using the cover screen, is coming to the Z Flip 6 for even greater convenience.
Aesthetics
The Z Flip 6 might see a departure from its previous design with the entire phone, not just a single back panel, reflecting your chosen color. Leaked images also showcase a stunning ice blue color option for the Flip.
Tomorrow’s Samsung Unpacked event promises to be a game-changer for the foldable phone market. Stay tuned for official pricing and pre-order information.
