5 things I desperately want to see come to the Galaxy Z Fold 6
Major improvements are needed if Samsung wants to catch up and compete against the competition
Renowned leaker Evan Blass shared the promo materials for the upcoming foldables on his Substack, detailing their full specs and highlighting the key improvements they offer over their predecessors. Apparently, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be Samsung’s lightest and slimmest foldable yet, weighing just 239g and measuring 12.1mm when folded. For comparison, the Z Fold 5 weighs 253g and has a 13.4mm thick waistline when folded.
The promo materials indicate the Galaxy Z Fold 6 uses a new Slim Flex Hinge and an improved Armor Aluminium frame. More importantly, it claims the device will carry an IP48 rating, making it Samsung’s first foldable to provide (limited) protection against dust resistance.
Samsung will apparently use a newer-gen OLED panel on the Fold 6, capable of hitting a claimed 2,600 nits of peak brightness — 1.5x more than the Fold 5. Both internal and external displays can hit this peak brightness. Sadly, the cover display won’t use Gorilla Armor glass; instead, it will purportedly use Gorilla Glass Victus 2. So, the Fold 6’s display won’t have the same anti-reflective properties as seen on the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Barring some yearly generational upgrades, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 does not appear to pack any other major changes. The rear triple-camera setup remains the same, though Samsung boasts about new AI features for better processing. Galaxy AI is also onboard, with the foldable purportedly packing a split-screen Interpreter mode, as seen on the Google Pixel Fold.
Galaxy Z Flip 6 to get a bigger battery
The Galaxy Z Flip 6’s leaked promo materials hint at big upgrades. Like the Z Fold 6, the flip foldable will get a slimmer Flex Hinge, an improved Armor Aluminum frame, and IP48 water resistance. When folded, the phone will seemingly be 0.2mm thinner than the Flip 5, with other dimensions remaining the same.
The other notable upgrade is the switch to a 50MP primary camera, which Samsung claims in the leaked marketing materials will capture better portraits and night shots.
Samsung will purportedly equip the Z Flip 6 with a big 4,000mAh battery, which should help boost its overall runtime. It will also be the first device in the Flip lineup to get a vapor chamber for better heat dissipation.
This leak details all the improvements the Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 will pack over their predecessors. If you are already sold on the foldable, consider pre-reserving it to get a $50 credit on your purchase.
