We Basically Already Know Everything About the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6

Samsung Unpacked 2024 is nearly here. On Wednesday, July 10, Samsung will unveil the next generation of some Galaxy devices, including the successors to the Galaxy Watch 6, a new smart ring, as well as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Z Flip 6. You don't need to wait until Unpacked to check out the new foldables, however: They've basically totally leaked.

As reported by The Verge, leaker Evan Blass shared Samsung's promotional materials and spec sheets for both the Z Flip 6 and the Z Fold 6. If these documents are legit (and they appear to be), we're getting our first look at Samsung's new foldables half a week early.

Spoiler alert: Samsung hasn't made any monumental changes to either the Z Fold or the Z Flip here. These are very much subtle updates. But there are some interesting features to note.

Galaxy Z Flip 6

Samsung's latest flip phone looks to be similar to the Z Flip 5, albeit slightly lighter and thinner. The leaked marketing materials show off some interesting new features, like an addition to Interpreter Mode that displays the translated text on the front display; a new 50MP camera, up from 12MP from the Z Flip 5; and a vapor chamber for cooling.

Here's what the phone looks like on paper, according to the alleged leaks:

• Display: 6.7-inch 2640 x 1080 OLED with a refresh rate of 120Hz (main), 3.4-inch 720 x 748 IPS (front)

• Cameras: 12MP ultra-wide, 50MP wide, 10MP front

• Battery: 4,000 mAh, up to 23 hours of video playback

• SoC: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 12GB RAM

• Storage: 256GB

Galaxy Z Fold 6

At first glance, Samsung isn't adding as many new features to the Z Fold 6 as it is with the Z Flip 6, according to The Verge. The Z Fold 6 doesn't get the additional Interpreter Mode, or the vapor chamber for cooling.

However, there are some interesting changes over last year's Z Fold 5: The display will allegedly reach 2,600 nits of brightness, compared to the Z Fold 5's maximum of 1,750 nits. Like the Z Flip 6, the Z Fold 6 will also get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which Samsung says has an NPU increase of 42% (the part of the chip that processes AI). Samsung is also touting new AI features, such as a new AI zoom, that should theoretically result in clearer closeups.

In addition, the Z Fold 6 is also thinner and lighter than past models, and has a new aluminum frame. All that said, there aren't any radical changes here: If you have a Z Fold 5 (or perhaps an older Z Fold device) you might not feel a huge push to upgrade.

• Displays: 7.6-inch 2160 x 1856 OLED with a refresh rate of 120Hz (main), 6.3-inch OLED (front)

• Cameras: 12MP ultra-wide (F2.2), 50MP (F1.8), 10MP (F2.4)

• Battery: 4,400 mAh, up to 23 hours of video playback

• SoC: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 12GB RAM

• Storage: 512GB
