Samsung’s next flagship foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, is shaping up to be an impressive engineering feat if the latest leaks and insights prove accurate. They are better to be true, because the competitors are making foldable smartphones market too much challenging.
OnePlus Open, one of the most appreciated flagships of 2023 because of the great harmony with hardware and software. Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 introduced periscope telephoto lens in a foldable improving image quality. So Samsung need to do something extraordinary to keep up with the compilation.
Improved display technology
One of the key focus areas for the Z Fold 6 appears to be its dual displays. Both the outer cover screen and inner foldable display are expected to be wider, sharper, brighter, and less reflective compared to Galaxy Z Fold 5.
This should provide an unrivaled viewing experience whether using it folded or unfolded. Samsung might also use the latest Samsung E7 AMOLED display in Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Samsung’s foldable is also rumored to be the first to ship with next-gen Gorilla Glass Armor protection. If true, this could significantly boost the Z Fold 6’s scratch and drop resistance over traditional folding glass.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 with Snapdragon for Galaxy Chipset
Under the hood, the Z Fold 6 will likely pair Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chip with a bigger cooling system to extract maximum performance from the premium silicon. This is going to be the same customized Snapdragon chipset used in Samsung Galaxy S24 series.
Various reports also point to the inclusion of a dedicated “Galaxy AI” chip to accelerate on-device machine learning and neural processing
To power all those pixels and that beefy processor, Samsung is tipped to increase the battery capacity on the Z Fold 6 to around 4,600mAh. The phone may also be available in a high-end 16GB/1TB configuration for true power users.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 could introduce a few foldable firsts as well. A new lighter hinge mechanism should make opening and closing the device feel more seamless. A new frame design and inner structural enhancements could help dissipate heat more effectively.
UPGRADE in image processing
On the camera front, the Z Fold 6 will likely build on Samsung’s imaging prowess with new enhanced camera algorithms and computational photography techniques. And Samsung may deploy an upgraded under-display camera that is less visible than prior iterations.
Perhaps most impressively, Samsung may commit to an unprecedented 7 years of software updates for the Z Fold 6. This extended support window could make Samsung’s latest Ultra Premium foldable a fantastic long-term investment.
According to a tip by @DSCCRose Galaxy Z Fold 6 might debut in three stylish colorways: Dark Blue, Light Pink, and Silver. While pricing is still unknown, Samsung’s foldable innovations rarely come cheap.
