With the Galaxy S24 family on the market since last February, Samsung is facing the first half of the year with powerful launches: the Galaxy A35 and Galaxy A55 are proof of this, and will be mid-range bestsellers. However, we know what awaits you after the summer, an Unpacked where you will discover the new generation of folding.
We have had various leaks about the Galaxy Z Fold6, such as its design, which could come in a budget version, and certain aesthetic changes that give it more elegance. As for clamshell folding, we’ve only seen its physical appearance in renders, and now we know two improvements and one change which will not please all potential buyers.
More RAM, an exterior screen without cutouts and a possible processor change
There haven’t been too many times where data was leaked on the next clamshell foldingthe compact of the two Galaxy Zs which will arrive in 2024. Unlike its big brother, it only has On leaks He told us about its design, without us knowing more information like its specifications.

Now, according to the informant @kro_roe In Twitter X, the Galaxy Z Flip6 would mean the start of a well-known trend seen in another family: it could have variationsone with an Exynos chip and another with a Qualcomm processor.
Yes, as happened in other generations of Galaxy S, the foldable could arrive in two variants. It would not be a new model which houses the Snapdragon chip as is the case with the S24 Ultra, but rather the strategy of previous generations.
If this were to happen, we would face a unprecedented fact: Never before have foldables had such different variants. In fact, it would also be the first time that we see a processor from the Korean firm in these models.
Without yet knowing whether it is the Exynos 2400 or another, Samsung is betting everything on its own range of processors. Certainly, in this generation, he has managed to hit the mark – even if he is far away in certain sectors – and this could be the ideal time to dare.
Likewise, this change would not come alone: the rumor points to two variants of 8 and 12 GB of RAM, which represents a considerable improvement over its predecessor. Of course, the latter would not reach all regions of the globe, and the storage quantities would remain as last year, with 256 and 512 GB.
Yes, it will be better received, if the leap that the external screen will make finally occurs: it would raise its refresh rate at 120 hertz. This would also lead to an increase in battery capacity to 4,000 mAh.
For now, that’s all the source reveals, which is no small thing. There are still a few weeks left before we see clear indications on the launch of the new foldable series. Until then, we will continue to monitor any information that emerges.
