The Galaxy Z Flip6 focuses on improved hardware almost all around. Samsung is expected to hold its big Unpacked event in early July, the event that will.
Samsung is expected to hold its big Unpacked event in early July, the event that will bring the new foldables, the Galaxy Ring and possibly other new products. The timing is intended to line up with the Olympics (which start on July 26) as Samsung is a major sponsor and will want its shiny new gadgets to be front and center.
The next generation of Galaxy foldables has leaked numerous times and we wanted to summarize several months of leaks and rumors here, so that you know what to expect come July. This post will focus on the Galaxy Z Flip6, another one will cover the Galaxy Z Fold6.
Cheaper FE model incoming
Samsung was an early mover in the foldable field and the technology has been improving with every generation. One thing that has remained relatively constant is the price. It looks like the company is finally at a point where it is ready to offer a more affordable model alongside the regular flagship-grade Flip.
The phone is tentatively called Galaxy Z Flip FE, just like the Galaxy S FE series. It will measure 165.2 x 71.9 x 6.9mm unfolded, the same as the Z Flip5, while the Z Flip6 will be slightly thicker (more on that in a bit). This might suggest that this is really a Galaxy Z Flip5 FE with some or most of the hardware borrowed from the 2023 model.
An even bigger cover display
One of the major upgrades on the Galaxy Z Flip5 was the so-called Flex Window – the 3.4” cover display. Compared to the 1.9” line display of the previous model, this really changed how you used the phone. It could display more than simple widgets, indeed it could run full Android apps.
Samsung saw that it was good and apparently it wants to go even bigger – the Galaxy Z Flip6 is said have a 3.9” cover display. We don’t know that that means as a percentage-wise increase as the shape of the cover display is complex and flows around the cameras.
