The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is highly likely to get an official launch this Wednesday, July 10, at the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event. It's there we'll expect to get a full breakdown of all the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 specs; expect a new chip and better battery life at least.

To give you a clearer idea of what specs to expect, here’s a rundown of the main rumored specs of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 predicted specs
The chart above details the key specs that we’re currently expecting from the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, based on the rumors we’ve heard so far combined with some educated guesses. So none of this is confirmed just yet, but it’s our best guess as to what we’ll see when the phone launches – likely in July.
Starting with the foldable screen, we’re expecting this to be a 6.7-inch one, as multiple sources have said the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will have a 6.7-inch screen. That’s the same size as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5’s screen but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, as few phones have screens that are much bigger than 6.7 inches.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 will also almost certainly use AMOLED, just like its predecessor, and we’ve heard that the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s brightness might be the same as last year too (meaning 1,750 nits). That same source claims that unsurprisingly it will also have a 120Hz refresh rate once again.
We've also heard that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 could have the same resolution as the Z Flip 5, meaning 1080 x 2640.
The cover screen however could be in for some improvements, with numerous sources saying the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will have a 3.9-inch cover screen (up from 3.4 inches on the Galaxy Z Flip 5). We’ve also heard that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6’s cover screen could have a 120Hz refresh rate (up from 60Hz).
That said, there's some disagreement, as multiple sources also point to the Z Flip 6's cover screen being 3.4 inches like last year, with one adding that the resolution will apparently be the same too, at 720 x 748.
The chipset is another aspect that we’re expecting to get upgraded, with both leaks and logic pointing to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. That would be a generational leap from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the current model, and would also see it match the Samsung Galaxy S24 line for power.
That said, some versions of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 might instead get an Exynos chipset (likely an Exynos 2400). If so, it’s likely that the version you get will depend on where you are in the world, as this is the approach Samsung has taken with the Galaxy S24. Either way though, that's a top-end chipset.
However, most leaks now point to there only being a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 version of the Z Flip 6, so Exynos is unlikely to be used.
For RAM, the options will reportedly be 8GB and 12GB, while storage is rumored to come in at a choice of 256GB and 512GB. For reference, the Z Flip 5 has the same storage configurations, but only an 8GB of RAM model. A Galaxy Z Flip 6 benchmark has now listed a 12GB configuration though so this increase is looking likely.
On to the cameras, and multiple leaks suggest the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will have a 50MP main camera, up from a 12MP one on the Galaxy Z Flip 5. That said, one source disagrees and says its will be 12MP again, so while we suspect 50MP is right we can’t be certain.
One leak has also detailed the Galaxy Z Flip 6's other cameras, pointing to a 12MP ultra-wide and a 10MP front-facing camera, just like on the current model.
Finally, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6’s battery will apparently be 4,000mAh. We’ve heard that claim from several sources, so it’s likely accurate; especially as others have more vaguely said it will have better battery life (which a 4,000mAh battery would likely deliver, as the Galaxy Z Flip 5 has a 3,700mAh one). And we've also heard that it will support 25W charging like last year.
That’s all the key specs covered, but again, this is mostly leaks paired with a few educated guesses, so there’s a chance any of this could be wrong.
