O Galaxy Z Flip6, next to Galaxy z fold6, it should present high performance for those who like to have a premium experience. But what to expect from the model? And what changes compared to the previous generation? See the leaks about the new foldable smartphone from Samsung right now.
Design and canvas
A few years ago, the appearance of Z Flip line smartphones from Samsung It's practically the same, with some caveats regarding the external screen.
The internal screen should not undergo significant changes and there are rumors that the larger display that delivers the experience of a traditional smartphone should remain in the 6,7-inch size, standard in this segment. A protection Gorilla Glass Armor it must also be included to prevent the screen from cracking or breaking in the event of impacts.
Another leak from February 2024 indicates that the new Galaxy Z Flip6 will be launched in at least five colors: violet, light green, light blue, silver e yellow. Furthermore, it should also be a little thicker in relation to the Galaxy z flip5, released in 2023. This 5K video shows the possible look, watch:
Regarding the hinge, the company may be investing in a technology that would deliver greater long-term durability. The name would be Ironflex, and even a patent was registered in February 2024. It is a fact that yes, the Samsung has been improving the hinges of its foldable smartphones, but it is not yet known what to expect from the sixth generation when it comes to the new hinge.
When we compare the Galaxy Z Flip4 with the Galaxy Z Flip5, the external screen gained 1,5 inches, going from 1,9 inches to 3,4 inches. For the Galaxy Z Flip6, the external screen is expected to be even larger, reaching 3,9 inches. The rear cameras must still be present on the outside of the cell phone so that selfies can be taken in the way we already know. The refresh rate on the external screen would be 120 Hz.
In visual terms, the new foldable smartphone from Samsung It should not undergo drastic changes, but some points should be improved by the Korean company with a focus on better durability. The model should also have straighter edges, which should provide a firmer grip on a daily basis.
Cameras
This is one of the most anticipated upgrades and it can be said that the Samsung will finally give what users want. The Galaxy Z Flip5's cameras take photos at 12 MP and, according to information from leaker Tech_Rave on Twitter, the Galaxy Z Flip6's lenses should be 50 MP, one ultra-wide-angle and the other wide-angle.
If this comes to fruition, having 50 MP main sensors would put the Galaxy Z Flip6 even more in line with the Galaxy S line. Leaks of the Galaxy Z Flip6 also indicate that the cameras will be larger, giving the smartphone greater capacity to take more vivid photos.
When we talk about the front camera on the internal screen, no changes are expected: the 10 MP lens with 1.22μm aperture, F2.2 should be maintained, with no changes compared to the Flip5. It is also worth remembering that Samsung's image and video processing systems must be present in Samsung's new foldable smartphone. Samsung, so we can't expect bad photos or videos regarding this.
Power and performance
A great tradition that Samsung adopts is to place the same processors from the Galaxy S line of the respective year in foldable smartphones launched in the second half of the year. And that shouldn't change in 2024: rumors suggest that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processorpresent in Galaxy s24 ultra, will be present at the Galaxy Z Flip6.
In fact, this is a “half-certainty”, because just as it did with some models in the Galaxy S line, the Samsung may choose to launch its new foldable smartphone with Exynos processors in select markets.
Tests of benchmarking do Geekbench Master show that the processor for Samsung's most powerful smartphone currently on the market was chosen by the Korean company. Look:
Regarding graphics performance, the prototype's benchmark tests, with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and 8 GB of RAM, brought a result close to what we saw on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Furthermore, the result is literally almost double that of the previous generation and the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
It is also possible to check the amount of 6,75 GB of RAM (8 GB of physical RAM), but there is speculation that the Galaxy Z Flip6 will hit the market in versions with 12 GB of RAM. It is not known whether we will have two versions of the smartphone on the market or the 8 GB of RAM will remain permanently. It is worth mentioning that the Galaxy Z Flip5 has the same 8 GB of RAM. Storage options should not change from the standard we know and should be 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 and 1 TB.
Battery and charging
When we tested the Galaxy Z Flip5 in 2023, the model had enough screen time to use for most of the day, due to system optimizations and the 3.700 mAh battery. According to information from Galaxy Club, Samsung plans a 300 mAh upgrade when placing the Galaxy Z Flip6 on the market with a 4.000 mAh battery.
Many are hoping that charging up to 45W will finally reach foldable models, but that's not likely to happen. Support for up to 25W must be maintained, as seen in the current generation. It is important to remember that more accessible models, such as the Galaxy M55, already have charging of up to 45W.
Operating system and updates
One of the main leaks of the Galaxy Z Flip6 is that it should hit the market with Android 14, via One UI 6.1. This novelty brings with it the Galaxy AI, set of artificial intelligence capabilities that improves photos, videos, internet search and more everyday actions.
For the year 2024, the Samsung surprised everyone by announcing that the Galaxy S24 line would receive seven years of operating system updates. In other words, models launched in 2024 would be updated to Android 21, which will be available in 2031.
Due to the Z Fold and Z Flip lines being part of Samsung's premium smartphone portfolio, it is assumed that the same will happen with the new models presented this year. But, because they have an advanced processor, they are almost certain to receive at least 4 years of operating system updates.
Price
Having access to the latest model in the Z Flip line must require a high payment. When he arrived in Brazil, for example, the Galaxy Z Flip5 It had a suggested price of R$7.199 in its version with 512 GB of internal storage. And a price lower than that should not be expected when the Galaxy Z Flip6 arrives in Brazil.
When will the Galaxy Z Flip6 be introduced?
As usual, it is expected that the Galaxy Unpacked of the second half of 2024 takes place in July, weeks before the start of Paris Olympics. Samsung should take advantage of the event to talk about the expected Galaxy Ring and, of course, also launch the Galaxy z fold6.
