The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is anticipated to be released on July 10th, which is not too far away. Here's all you should know to get ready for what is probably going to be one of the biggest foldable phone releases of the year.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5, which debuted last year, was a pleasant upgrade over its predecessor with its larger cover display, better cameras, and more elegant no-gap design. However, it had a short battery life and fierce competition from the Motorola Razr Plus. The Motorola Razr Plus (2024), a new iteration of the phone, sets even higher standards for Samsung's upcoming foldable smartphone. (To see how these two foldable phones could compare, check out our comparison of the Motorola Razr Plus (2024) and Galaxy Z Flip 6.)
Consequently, rumors about the Galaxy Z Flip 6 include an even bigger cover screen, a more robust foldable display, and a far more powerful primary camera. If Samsung hopes to reclaim the top spot, it will have to make a huge step forward.
Here is everything we currently know about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. A comparison of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 is also available, which delves deeper into their differences.

SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP 6: RELEASE DATE
We are aware of the precise launch date for the Galaxy Z Flip 6. According to Samsung, the company's upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event will be on July 10 in Paris. The business stated that we should anticipate new Galaxy Z phones and a lot of hype about Galaxy AI, even though it hasn't specified any specific models.
Galaxy Unpacked will begin at 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. BST, and we want to attend the major reveal in Paris. Details about Samsung's live streaming of Galaxy Unpacked will be revealed closer to the event on July 10.
Regarding release dates, Samsung typically releases phones ten to seventeen days following their launch party. Without a doubt, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 should be available for purchase by the end of July. As part of a promotion, Samsung will give you a $50 credit for anything they unveil at the show if you register for a pre-order place before the July 10 Unpacked event. Should you choose to pre-order, you might potentially save up to $1,500.
SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP 6: PRICE
We had anticipated that the beginning pricing of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 would be comparable to that of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 ($999 / £1,049). particularly when Samsung has made a huge selling point out of providing a foldable device for less than $1,000. Given that the pricing is the same as the Motorola Razr+, it is even more accurate.
OnLeaks is rumored to have stated that the Galaxy Z 6 Flip would cost $100 more than the Galaxy Z Flip 5. That would indicate that the entry-level 256GB model would start at $1,099 while the 512GB model would cost $1,219. It appears that there could be price increases for this next Z Flip installment worldwide, since another report suggests a €100 rise in Europe.
SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP 6: DESIGN
Although Samsung Display filed a patent application to the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) seeking to trademark the phrase "Ironflex," the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is expected to resemble the previous model. This might indicate that the design will be changing in some way.
Although the exact definition of Ironflex is unknown, we assume it relates to a more durable foldable screen. Dust resistance is one area that Samsung is reportedly investigating. Fans of foldable devices will have to "wait a little longer," but preparations are in action, according to TM Roh, Samsung's president of mobile, who stated as much in July of last year.
A 360-degree video and many high-resolution renders of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 have been leaked by SmartPrix. The phone looks almost exactly like the previous generation, except it's thicker, which could mean it has a bigger battery. Whether the cover screen will be larger is still up for debate. It appears next to the Z Fold 6 in a newly leaked promotional photo, however it's unclear if the cover screen is any bigger.
According to one report, Samsung could sell the Galaxy Z Flip 6 in light green, light blue, silver, and yellow. Later, leaker Evan Blass confirmed these colors and added that if you purchase your phone from Samsung, only white, black, and peach would be available as exclusive options. Similarly, WinFuture released renderings of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 in silver, blue, yellow, and green.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 could sport the same Corning Gorilla Armor as the Galaxy S24 Ultra, according to a different article on X. Because of this, the gadget would have superior glare and scratch resistance than many of its peers. A new cooling system and the potential for variants with 12 GB of RAM are also mentioned in the leak.
We now get a clearer look at the Galaxy Z Flip 6's revised design thanks to a new leak. The majority of these photos feature the phone's outside display, both partially open and folded up. However, that doesn't stop us from learning more about the internal components of the phone.
SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP 6: DISPLAY
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5's larger cover display, which went from a 1.9-inch strip on earlier models to a 3.4-inch screen, was one of the device's main features. According to recent speculations, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could expand on that capability even further.
Display researcher Ross Young speculates that Samsung may want to make the Galaxy Flip's outer screen larger overall. According to reports, this would have a 3.9-inch external display—quite large in comparison to previous flip foldables. The Razr+ has a 3.6-inch cover screen, compared to 3.4 inches on the Z Flip 5.
A report about the Galaxy Z Flip 6 suggests that the cover display may be increased from the 60Hz refresh rate of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 to 120Hz. Though this is just rumored to be in development, it's conceivable that Samsung won't be able to complete it in time, in which case we could not see this feature after all.
When the internal display opens, it will probably measure the same 6.7 inches, but Samsung is expected to employ a larger version of their very thin display glass. This action would ultimately result in a smaller crease and a firmer surface throughout the interior display.
SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP 6: CAMERAS
According to a Galaxy Z Flip 6 camera leak, Samsung may be developing a Flip 6 prototype, code-named B6, which is rumored to include a 50MP primary camera sensor. Compared to the current Galaxy Z Flip 5's 12MP sensor, this would be a significant improvement.
SmartPrix is the most recent source to highlight this camera enhancement, although regulatory papers associated with the new phone provide the strongest evidence. According to the papers, the Flip would include a 50MP primary camera, as earlier speculations have suggested.
There may be a zoom option on the Z Flip 6, according to recently released renderings. A "2x" symbol can be seen in the lower corner of the cover display, indicating that the phone has some kind of zoom capability.
SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP 6: PERFORMANCE
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip seen in the Galaxy S24 range is expected to be used in the Galaxy Z Flip 6, while in some regions it may switch to the Exynos 2400 chip. After all, Samsung employed that tactic with the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus models.
But according to further rumors, Samsung will only employ the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Galaxy Z Flip 6. This could result in an increase in performance as well as longer battery life, because the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra versions that use the Snapdragon chip have all shown significant improvements in endurance.
There could also be a 12GB RAM option available, albeit it might only be available in specific areas. If not, anticipate the same 256GB or 512GB of storage paired with 8GB of RAM found on the Z Flip 5.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 may contain a 4,000 mAh battery, which would significantly increase the phone's power capacity, according to a leak that was uploaded to X. But according to FCC-sourced regulatory documents, the phone will only have a 3,790 mAh battery. The 3,700 mAh battery of the Z Flip 5 appears to be the most that will be available this year.
SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP 6: OUTLOOK
We're nearing the end of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 rumor season now that a July 10 launch date is anticipated. So far, everything we've heard seems good, especially in terms of improved cameras and a bigger external display. In addition to the capabilities offered by the S24 series, we would want to see Samsung include a more potent zoom and unique foldable Galaxy AI functions.
If our desire comes true, we should know rather soon.
