Rumors have been circulating for some time that Samsung will hold the Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event at 9 PM Beijing time on July 10th, unveiling the Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Buds 3, and the Galaxy Ring smart ring. As we approach the latter half of July, leaks about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 are gradually increasing.

Indeed, Samsung Electronics has confirmed that it will officially launch the new generation of Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 foldable smartphones at the Galaxy Unpacked event to be held in Paris, France, on July 10th.

Firstly, sources indicate that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 will be available in three colors for consumers to choose from, featuring a titanium metal material. It also confirms previous leaks that the screen's R corners are closer to right angles.

In terms of specifications, the device is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, a built-in 4600mAh battery, and improved under-display cameras. Both the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Fold5 feature under-display cameras (UDC) hidden beneath the main display, primarily used for video calls and facial recognition for unlocking the device.

Another leaker claims that the external screen of the Galaxy Z Fold6 has a diagonal size of 6.4 inches, larger than the 6.2-inch screen of the Galaxy Z Fold 5. He also notes that the aspect ratio of the cover screen is 20:9, while the inner screen's aspect ratio is 1.08:1.

The Galaxy Z Fold6 boasts three cameras with resolutions of 50 megapixels, 10 megapixels, and 12 megapixels, respectively.

Additionally, based on images of the external screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, it can be seen that the left and right borders of the external screen are symmetrically thick. Furthermore, a user on a Korean forum shared photos of the Galaxy Z Fold6 mockup.

In summary, new images of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 reveal a more squared-off design, with adjustments to the camera island on the back. As more leaks are released, we eagerly anticipate the functionality and design this new phone will bring.

But most notably, it is reported that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will not be limited to a single configuration. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE are also expected to debut in the future. Alternatively, there are rumors of a slimmer version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Since the launch of the first Galaxy Fold phone in 2019, Samsung's foldable phone series has undergone five generations of evolution. The Galaxy Z Fold5, introduced last year, weighs 253 grams and has a folded thickness of just 13.4 millimeters.

Sources claim that the standard version of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 will weigh as little as 239 grams, significantly lighter than its predecessor's 253 grams, and have a thickness of only 6.1 millimeters when unfolded.

It's worth noting that both phones support IP48-rated water and dust resistance.

This is the first time Samsung's foldable phones have passed a dust-proof standard. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Z Flip5 phones have an IPX8 water-resistance rating as defined in IEC60529 but no dust-resistance rating.

According to relevant standards, IP4-rated dust resistance prevents the ingress of solid foreign objects larger than 1.0mm in diameter. The official description states: "Protected against solid objects greater than 1.0mm in diameter, such as tools, wires, and similar small objects, from entering and coming into contact with internal parts of the equipment."

Moreover, the price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 foldable phone has been revealed. According to reports from Smartprix and OnLeaks, the prices of the Galaxy Z Fold6 in the United States are approximately RMB 13,802 for the 256 GB version, RMB 14,674 for the 512 GB version, and RMB 16,417 for the 1TB version. Compared to the previous Z Fold5, the Z Fold6's price has increased by approximately RMB 726.

Furthermore, Samsung has prepared three color options for the Galaxy Z Fold6: Navy Blue, Silver Shadow, and Pink. Earlier leaks indicated that Craftsman Black and White will be exclusively available on Samsung's official website.

In terms of specifications, the new Galaxy Z Fold6 weighs 239g, lighter than its predecessor, and features an upgraded 7.6-inch inner screen. Other configuration details have not been announced yet.

In conclusion, with its brand-new design and advanced foldable screen technology, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 is poised to be another eye-catching product in the brand's future mobile device market.

Incidentally, Mingmei Infinite learned from foreign media that Samsung has started sending notifications about the pre-order dates for the Z Flip6 and Z Fold6 to some existing customers in India. According to a Samsung experience store, these two phones, codenamed B6 for the Z Flip 6 and Q6 for the Z Fold 6, will start accepting pre-orders on June 26th.

Although Samsung has not revealed more details, customers who pre-order these two phones are likely to enjoy pre-order discounts and other additional benefits, which may include gift vouchers or some free accessories.

Additionally, it is reported that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 / Flip6 foldable phones have obtained telecommunication equipment network access licenses with model numbers SM-F7410 and SM-F9560, supporting 5G-enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) technology, dual-SIM dual-standby, and 5G inter-network roaming capabilities. They will be officially launched in Paris, France, at 9 PM Beijing time on July 10th.

Currently, the Chinese mainland versions of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 / Flip6 foldable phones are expected to be available on July 26th.

Overall, Samsung has brought a thinner and lighter body, longer battery life, and continued excellence in imaging with this release. However, these configurations may face greater competition in the domestic foldable phone market, as several domestic foldable phones are set to be released soon. Furthermore, the concurrently launched Galaxy Buds3 series earphones, Galaxy Watch 7/Ultra smartwatches, and other connected devices are expected to bring different surprises compared to interconnected devices in the domestic market.

In summary, Mingmei Infinite believes that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 represents a relatively minor upgrade. For ordinary users, the most noticeable improvements are undoubtedly the significantly reduced weight and larger, better screens. In terms of photography, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 still has room for improvement, compromising more in hardware compared to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and not offering a significant leap from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. Therefore, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is more recommended for users of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and earlier models.In addition to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, the long-rumored Samsung Galaxy Ring smart ring is also about to make its debut. Let's wait and see.
