AI SUMMARY
- Tipster Evan Blass has developed new marketing images for the upcoming Galaxy foldables.
- They fully reveal everything about the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6.
- The Galaxy Z Fold 6 has an updated design, whereas the Galaxy Z Flip 6 remains unchanged.
- Both will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 For Galaxy and feature IP48 dust and water resistance.
Z FOLD 6
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, an overclocked version of the regular SD 8 Gen 3 SoC. It will also support the S-Pen, which is rumored to be more beneficial than before. Users can expect at least 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of onboard storage.
Another notable feature of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is its dustproof IP rating for the first time. The previous version was only waterproof with an IPX8 rating, but this time it is dustproof and waterproof with an IP48 rating.
According to leaked images, key specs include the same 7.6-inch foldable screen with a larger 6.3-inch cover screen. The Z Fold 6 will weigh 239 grams, significantly lighter than its predecessor's 253 grams. It will be 12.1mm thick when folded and 5.6mm thick when unfolded, which is also slightly smaller than the Z Fold 5. The foldable phone will also come with the same 4400mAh battery capacity as before.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is likely to have a more robust design than before due to a slimmer hinge. Samsung appears to be using an "improved aluminum frame" and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for added protection.
The marketing images also show the Galaxy Z Fold 6's cameras, namely a triple rear camera with 50 MP as the main lens, a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 10 MP telephoto camera with optical zoom. On the front, there's a 10MP selfie camera on the cover display and a 4MP under-display camera on the foldable display. Galaxy AI is expected to complement the footage captured in camera and even in post-production scenarios.
The benefits of Samsung's Galaxy AI are evident throughout the user interface, including in Samsung Notes, as the new Note Assist feature can transcribe recordings, organize them into notes, and create efficient summaries. The large foldable screen is also said to feature a dual-display pocket translator that translates in real time. Galaxy Z Fold 6 users will also be able to use Google's Circle to Search feature.
A new set of shared images was leaked through his Substack newsletter, confirming all possible specifications of the foldable phone that will be released at the Unpacked event in Paris later on July 10. According to the marketing images, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is lighter, slimmer and has a sleeker design with sharper corners than its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
Z FLIP 6
Marketing materials for the smaller Galaxy Z Flip 6 show the folding phone in a blue colorway in addition to impressive specifications. However, the design remains the same compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
Samsung is also promoting a new interpreter for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 that can use both screens to provide translations when needed. The cover screen also features a Chat Assist feature that can send suggested replies to messages via text without opening the folding screen.
Again, Circle to Search, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, 50MP primary lens, 12MP secondary camera, 10MP selfie shooter, and IP48 rating are other great features shared with its Galaxy sister model, the Z Fold 6.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6's design includes a 3.4-inch cover screen and a 6.7-inch foldable screen. It has essentially the same dimensions as its predecessor, but the battery capacity will be larger at 4000 mAh. Samsung is also the first to integrate a vapor chamber in a foldable phone.
This set of leaked images gives us more than enough idea of what to expect when it launches next week.
