Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6: Rumors, leaks and things we’d like to see
Samsung’s next flip phone is expected to launch in the coming weeks, and here’s everything we know about it so far.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 details leak online
As spotted by The edgeA leaker has revealed all the details about the Samsung Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. For the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, we are dealing with a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a lighter and smaller frame than its predecessor, and a battery with 1 to 2 hours more battery life. The screen brightness has also been significantly increased, from 1750 to 2600 nits.
As for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, it also gets a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. However, it also gets a nice bump in RAM, going from 8GB to 12GB. It will have 2-3 hours more battery life, a 4,000mAh battery, and the secondary display will move away from OLED to IPS instead.
So what about this software? One interesting feature revealed in the leaks is a new feature coming to Interpreter Mode. Picture this: you adjust the screens in an L shape, so that they look like a miniature laptop. You point the back of the “laptop screen” at the person you want to speak to in another language – remember, the back panel of these phones is also a screen. You speak in your native language and the phone displays a text translation on the back screen to the person you’re pointing it at. When they respond, it shows you via the front screen what they’re saying. No more awkwardly shoving a phone under people’s noses – just place it in the middle of a conversation and you’re good to go.
It looks like Samsung has some interesting ideas for how to use these flip phones. If you want to learn more and see them in action, you’ll have to wait until July 10. And you can bet that XDA will be on the front lines to bring you all the most interesting revelations from the event.
