Major Samsung Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 leak reveals major upgrades – plus a possible Galaxy Buds 3 gift card
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 leaks are coming thick and fast, as you’d expect given they’re launching next week. The latest batch reveal just about everything the phones have to offer – assuming they’re accurate, of course – including some interesting upgrades and the promise of a free gift if you buy early.
First of all, a series tipper Evan Blass (through The edge) has revealed full specs lists for both foldable devices. The headline items here are a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor (as expected) and IP48 ingress protection – that would make these foldables the first to achieve this standard for dust and water resistance, with previous models having the less-extensive IPX8 rating.
Compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 5, the Z Fold 6 is said to get a brighter main display, slightly better battery life, and a slightly larger cover screen. It’ll also be 14 grams lighter, but there are apparently no changes to the battery capacity or camera array.
As for the Z Flip 6, according to these leaks, the main camera gets an upgrade to 50MP (up from the 12MP on the Galaxy Z Flip 5), while RAM has been increased from 8GB to 12GB. It is also said to have a higher-capacity battery, equating to three hours more battery life during video playback.
Leaking leaking
That’s far from the only leak we’ve heard about in the past few hours. Well-known leaker @MysteryLupin has posted photos of what appear to be hinges from Galaxy Z Flip 6 models: blue, green, yellow and gray are shown, which matches previous leaks (though we may see more colors).
Finally, Roland Quandt – another frequent tipster – has indicated that anyone who purchases the Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Galaxy Flip 6 will get a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro earbuds for free, though it’s not clear if this is a limited-time offer or if it’s limited to certain regions.
We’re expecting both the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds Pro 3 to make an appearance at the same Unpacked event as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, with Samsung confirming that the event will take place on Wednesday, July 10.
In addition to foldables and earbuds, we should also see the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, and a full reveal of the Samsung Galaxy Ring. All of these products have leaked extensively in advance, so there shouldn’t be many surprises on the day, but make sure to stay tuned to Ny Breaking for full coverage.
