Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6 specifications
Veteran leakster Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) has leaked marketing images of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 via his Substack newsletter. The leaked images show that both phones use Armor Aluminum material for their frames and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection for the cover screens. It was expected that Samsung would use a titanium frame for the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Most importantly, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 are rated IP48 for dust and water resistance. While this isn't as good as the IP68 rating for high-end bar-style phones, it's still a big improvement over the IPX8 rating typically seen on foldable phones.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 features a 3.4-inch cover screen and a 6.7-inch foldable screen, just like its previous model. The 3.4-inch OLED screen carries a resolution of 720 x 748 pixels and runs at 60Hz, while the 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen has a Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz variable refresh rate.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen with HD+ resolution and a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen with QXGA+ resolution. Both screens have a 120Hz variable refresh rate and a peak brightness of up to 2,600 nits. This matches the screen on the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Both phones use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor with 12GB RAM and 256GB/512GB storage. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 may also be available in a 1TB storage variant. Both phones run Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1 software. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a vapor chamber system for more efficient cooling, a first for a Galaxy Z Flip series phone.
Both phones also have Galaxy AI, so you can use features like Circle to Search, Interpreter Mode, and Notes Summarization. But we don't see any new Galaxy AI features that were previously rumoured. The Chat Assist feature seems to have been improved and optimised for the Galaxy Z Flip 6's cover screen, making it easier to reply to messages through context-sensitive replies suggested by Galaxy AI.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 10MP selfie camera. It can record 4K 60fps videos using all of its cameras.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a 50MP primary rear camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, a 10MP telephoto camera (3x optical zoom), a 10MP front-facing camera on the cover screen, and a 4MP front-facing camera on the inner screen. It can record 4K 60fps videos using all of its cameras just like the Galaxy Z Flip 6, but it can also record 8K 30fps videos and 4K 120fps slow-motion videos using the primary camera.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is thinner than its predecessor, despite sporting an upgraded 4,000mAh battery compared to the 3,700mAh battery on the Galaxy Z Flip 5. It measures 85.1 × 71.9 × 14.9mm and weighs 187 grams (same as the Z Flip 5).
