The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 could be just months away, with leaks suggesting July 10 will be the day of the unveiling, and this looks set to be Samsung’s most technical phone yet.
Therefore, this will likely be the company’s most expensive phone of the year – unless we also get a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra; so hopefully you saved. But it should be worth the money, with two big screens, a powerful chipset and possibly up to 16GB of RAM.
We don’t know anything for sure about the Galaxy Z Fold 6 yet, but leaks and rumors have revealed many of the likely specs, and most of the others we can make educated guesses about. Below are the full predicted specifications for the phone.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 predicted specifications
The table below lists all the key specs that we think are most likely for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
This is usually based on leaks, and if there is conflicting information, we’ve listed multiple possibilities, or gone with the most credible or the claim we’ve heard most often. There are also a few educated guesses based on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5’s specs.
| Specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (rumors) | |
|---|---|
| Foldable display: | 7.6-inch AMOLED, 120Hz, 1812 x 2176+ |
| Cover screen: | 6.2-6.4-inch AMOLED, 120 Hz, 904 x 2316+ |
| Operating system: | Android 15 |
| Chipset: | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 |
| Rear cameras: | 50 MP wide, 12 MP ultra-wide, 10 MP telephoto |
| Front camera: | 10MP, 4MP |
| RAM: | 16GB |
| Storage: | 256GB / 512GB / 1TB |
| Battery: | 4,400mAh |
As you can see, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will probably have a 7.6 inch 120Hz foldable AMOLED screen. Those are the same specs as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, but the Z Fold 6 might at least have a brighter 2,600 nits screen. The Galaxy Z Fold 6’s foldable screen may also have a higher resolution than the 1812 x 2176 Galaxy Z Fold 5, although we’re not sure what the exact resolution would be.
As for the cover screen, there is disagreement about its size. One source says it will have a 6.2-inch cover screen like the Galaxy Z Fold 5, while one says the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s cover screen will be 6.4 inches, and one splits the difference at 6. 3 inches.
Bigger or not, though it might get some upgrades, with one source claiming the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6’s cover screen could have anti-reflective technology, and another pointing to the use of Corning Gorilla Armor, which would make it more durable than that of its predecessor rendering.
Based on past form, we’d also expect it to be an AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of at least 904 x 2316 – but as it goes bigger the resolution could increase too.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6’s chipset will almost certainly be a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 – that’s the same one you’ll find in many other phones in the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, and is the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the Samsung Galaxy Z fold 5.
So not only is a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 the obvious choice, but it’s also something that numerous leaks have pointed out.
We’ve also heard from multiple sources that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 may have up to 16GB of RAM. That’s up from 12GB in the Z Fold 5. So between that and the expected chipset upgrade, this could be a significantly more powerful phone.
However, leaks reveal that the storage capacity of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be the same as the current model, meaning 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB configurations.
The cameras could be the weak link between the Z Fold 6’s specs as most sources claim that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will have the same cameras as the Z Fold 5.
On the back, that would mean a 50MP f/1.8 main camera, a 12MP f/2.2 ultrawide (with a 123-degree field of view) and a 10MP f/2.4 telephoto, which offers 3x optical zoom. On the front, that would mean a 10MP f/2.2 selfie camera, while the foldable screen would have a 4MP f/1.8 under-display camera.
That said, one source has said that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 could instead inherit one of the cameras from the Galaxy S24 Ultra, while another has said that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 may have an improved under-display camera has. So there are some improvements possible, but with most sources pointing to no changes to the camera hardware, we suspect this is one area that won’t be upgraded.
Finally, according to one source, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 could have a 4,600mAh battery. But others say the Z Fold 6 will have a 4,400mAh battery instead, just like the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
We’ve heard the latter claim from multiple sources, so we’d say it’s more likely, and the same sources also claim it will charge at 25W, just like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.
Of course, this could all be wrong, and we won’t know for sure until the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is unveiled, which will likely happen on July 10.
