Just days before Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy Unpacked event, renowned leaker Evan Blass has unleashed a treasure trove of information about the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 foldable phones.

Blass’s leak, which appeared in a substack mail, included what seem to be full-page screenshots of the official promo material for Samsung’s 2024 foldables. While we did have a pretty good idea of what to expect from both phones, the leak basically confirms some great upgrades and the return of some familiar frustrations as well.

Firstly, the images all but confirm that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be an incremental upgrade from its predecessor, the Z Fold 5. The camera setup, which Samsung has not updated for three years, seems to be unchanged. The phone retains the same 4,400mAh battery and 25W charging speed, and even the screen sizes remain consistent.

However, there are subtle changes to the phone’s dimensions. It is slightly shorter and wider (1mm in both cases) than the Z Fold 5 and, more importantly, is listed with a 14-gram weight reduction.

One notable improvement could be the brightness of the internal display, which the images claim is 1.5 times brighter than the previous model, reaching 2600 nits. Additionally, the promo material highlights the integration of Galaxy AI features, such as Circle to search with the S Pen and live interpreter.

Contrary to rumors, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 does not appear to feature a titanium build or Gorilla Glass Armor protection like the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6, on the other hand, appears to be receiving more substantial updates. The leaked promo material confirms a 4,000mAh battery, the largest ever in a Galaxy Z Flip phone, addressing concerns about battery life in previous models. The phone is also listed to have a new 50MP primary camera, as previously rumored.

While the Z Flip 6’s physical dimensions remain unchanged compared to its predecessor, the promo material reveals a notable addition: a vapor chamber. This could enhance the phone’s thermal performance, mitigating the overheating issues that have plagued earlier Z Flip models.
