The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is coming this summer Samsung clearly wants more people to enjoy folding phones as it tries to make them mainstream

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is an improvement over its predecessors thanks to a larger cover display, improved cameras, and a sleek design with no gaps However, battery life was not as good and it faced stiff competition from the Motorola Razr+

Rumors are heating up around Samsung's new flip-foldable, with early chatter pointing to an even larger cover screen, a more durable foldable display and a much more capable main camera Here's everything we know so far about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6

We haven't heard anything about the Z Flip 6's price yet, but it will probably be somewhat similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 5's launch price That model launched for $999 / 1,049 pounds; one can imagine that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be about the same price

The release date for the Galaxy Flip 6 is a bit more predictable The last three Galaxy Flip models were released in August, and it is reasonable to imagine that both the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the foldable update expected to be released by Samsung this year, will do the same

However, it is believed that the release date could be a bit earlier this year Samsung is a sponsor of the 2024 Olympics, which begin in late July, and having a new device to show off during the games would be a smart move; combined with claims that production of Galaxy Z Flip 6 components will begin in early May, a July launch, earlier than last year It seems more likely

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 should look similar to its predecessor, although a Samsung Display patent application submitted to the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) has been uncovered and a trademark registration for the term "Ironflex" has been filed This may mean that something new will be introduced in the design

It is unclear what Ironflex really is, but we assume it refers to a more rigid foldable screen One area Samsung is focusing on is dust resistance Last July, the head of Samsung's Mobile TM Roh said that the folding fan would have to "wait a little longer," but that plans were in motion

A recent leak from known source SmartPrix shows off some high-resolution renders and 360-degree video of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 The phone appears to be very similar to previous models, but has increased thickness which may indicate a larger battery However, there is no indication that the cover screen will be larger

According to one source, Samsung may offer the Galaxy Z Flip 6 in four colors: light green, light blue, silver, and yellow; the Galaxy Z Flip 5 was offered in mint green and the yellow version was offered exclusively at Samsung stores

A recent X leak revealed that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 may feature the same Corning Gorilla Armor as the Galaxy S24 Ultra This would give the device better scratch and glare protection than many devices of its generation The leak also mentions a bug cooling system and the possibility of a model running on 12 GB of RAM

One of the big things about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 was the newly enlarged cover display, increasing the screen size to 34 inches from the previous flip's 19-inch strip Recent reports suggest that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 may take that feature a step further

According to display analyst Ross Young, Samsung may be aiming to increase the overall size of the Galaxy Flip's outer screen This would apparently feature a 39-inch external display, which is quite huge compared to other Flip foldables; the Z Flip 5's cover screen was 34 inches, while the Razr+ was 36 inches

According to one Galaxy Z Flip 6 camera leak, Samsung may be working on a prototype of the Flip 6, codenamed B6, which is said to have a 50MP main camera sensor This would be a significant jump up from the current Galaxy Z Flip 5's 12MP sensor

We have also heard other rumors of a 50MP camera on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 In April 2023, Twitter leaker @Tech_Reve detailed how the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 could undergo significant changes

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 will likely feature the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip as the Galaxy S24 line This should result in better performance as well as longer battery life The Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra have significantly improved durability

Of course, the Z Flip 6 has limited space for a battery; the Z Flip 5 had a 3,700 mAh battery, but a more efficient chip could be a game changer

According to a recent X leak, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could have a 4,000 mAh battery, which could significantly improve the phone's power levels

Galaxy Z Flip 6 rumors are still in the early stages However, what we do know seems promising

We like the idea of a larger cover display, a more durable inner foldable screen, and a more powerful camera But we hope Samsung adds more powerful zoom and foldable Galaxy's own AI features in addition to those available on the S24 series
