Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6 Specifications
Legendary leaker Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) has leaked marketing images of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 via his Substack newsletter. Leaked images reveal that both phones use the Armor Aluminum material for its frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection for the screen covering. 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.
More importantly, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 are IP48 rated for dust and water resistance. While it’s not as good as the IP68 rating for high-end phones, it’s still a significant improvement over the IPX8 rating typically seen on foldable phones.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 uses the same size displays – a 3.4-inch roof screen and a 6.7-inch folding screen – as its predecessor. The 3.4-inch OLED screen retains the 720 x 748 pixel resolution and operates at 60Hz, while the 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen has 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 2600 nits. This matches the screens of 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 in 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 can’t spot any new Galaxy AI features that were talked about earlier. The Chat Assist feature appears to have been improved and optimized for the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s flip screen, making it easier to reply to messages through context-sensitive replies suggested by Galaxy AI.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera and a 10MP selfie camera. It can record 4K 60fps videos using all its cameras.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a 50MP primary rear camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, a 10MP telephoto camera (3x optical zoom), a 10MP front-facing camera on the lid, 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 main camera.
Despite its 4,000mAh battery, an upgrade from the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s 3,700mAh battery, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is slimmer than its predecessor. It measures 85.1 × 71.9 × 14.9mm and weighs 187g (the same as the Z Flip 5).
