Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6: Everything you need to know about Samsung's latest clamshell foldable
Samsung's next clamshell phone is said to launch in the coming weeks, and here's everything we know about it so far.
Details of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 leak online
As spotted by The Verge, a leaker has revealed all the details on the Samsung Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. For the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, we're looking at a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a lighter and smaller frame than its predecessor, and 1-2 hours more battery. There's also a big bump up in screen brightness, from 1750 to 2600 nits.
As for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, it's also getting a shiny new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. However, it's also getting a nice increase in RAM, up from 8GB to 12GB. It'll have 2-3 more hours on its battery, a 4,000mAh battery, and the secondary screen will move away from OLED and become IPS instead.
So, how about that software? One cool feature revealed in the leaks is a new feature coming to Interpreter Mode. Imagine this; you adjust the screens into an L-shape, so it looks like a miniature laptop. You point the back of the 'laptop screen' to someone you want to talk to in another language - remember, the back panel on these phones is also a screen. You speak in your native language, and the phone shows a text translation on the back screen to the person you're pointing it at. When they reply, it shows you via the front screen what they're saying. No more awkwardly shoving a phone in people's faces - just have it sit in the middle of a conversation and you're good to go.
It sounds like Samsung has some cool ideas on how to use these flip phones. If you want to learn more about them and see them in action, we're going to have to wait until July 10th. And you can bet that XDA will be on the frontlines delivering all the hottest reveals from the event.
