Two new render leaks may have fully unveiled the look and color options for Samsung’s next foldables, theGalaxy Z Fold 6andZ Flip 6. The images come courtesy of well-known leakerEvan Blassand German-language siteWinFuture. The Z Fold 6 appears to be coming in three shades – gray, pink, and navy blue – with a squared-off design, consistent with other recent leaks. Renders also depict a thinner hinge and bezels, and black rings around the rear camera lenses.
Best foldable phones: Expert tested and reviewed
With bendable screens, Android support, plenty of potential and huge price tags, here are the devices leading the foldable smartphone trend.
The Z Flip 6 looks set to ship in four colors: blue, silver, green, and yellow. While its design should be largely similar to theZ Flip 5, Samsung may be using brushed metal – or something like it – and the rings around its rear cameras are color-matched to the rest of the device. The latter is a rare aesthetic in the smartphone industry.
Samsung is expected to unveil both of the phones at itsGalaxy Unpacked eventin Paris, scheduled for July 10. It should start at 3PM CEST, which translates to 9AM EST and 6AM PST. Beyond the new Fold and Flip models, we’ll likely to see theGalaxy Watch 7, including a rugged Ultra model meant to compete with the Apple Watch Ultra. We may also see a Galaxy Tab S10, but there’s more anticipation for theGalaxy Ring, a health-tracking wearable that Samsung has only teased so far. The July 10 showcase should be our first in-depth look at its features.
What are the Z Fold 6’s and Z Flip 6’s specs?
Both phones should be equipped with Qualcomm’s state-of-the-art Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Little else is known about the Z Fold 6, but the Z Flip 6 may upgrade its main camera from 12 to 50-megapixels, bringing it in line with other high-end smartphones. Its battery capacity may rise from 3,700mAh to 4,000mAh, though it’s uncertain if that will make a meaningful difference in longevity, since that might be necessary to handle increased performance.
In terms of market attention, Samsung may be in for a tough fight this fall. Google is set to show off thePixel 9, Pixel Watch 3, and Pixel Fold 2 at an August 13 event. That should be followed by Apple’s usual September iPhone launch – while the company has yet to even tease the possibility of a foldable, iPhones are typically Samsung’s main competition.
