Given the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is one of the most expensive Samsung phones around, the Fold 6 won't be cheap regardless of its specs. But it should be worth the money, with two big screens, a powerful chipset, and up to 16GB of RAM possibly set to be included.
We don’t know anything for sure about the Galaxy Z Fold 6 yet, but leaks and rumors have revealed many of the likely specs, and we can take some educated guesses at most of the others. So read on for a breakdown of waht we think we know about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 specs so far.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 predicted specs
The chart below contains all the key specs that we think are most likely for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
This is mostly based on leaks, and where there’s conflicting information, we’ve either listed multiple possibilities or gone by the most believable or the claim we’ve heard most often. There are also a few educated guesses, based on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5’s specs.
So, as you can see, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will probably have a 7.6-inch 120Hz foldable AMOLED screen. Those are the same specs as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, but the Z Fold 6 might at least have a brighter, 2,600-nit display. The Galaxy Z Fold 6’s foldable display might also be higher resolution than the 1812 x 2176 Galaxy Z Fold 5, though one Z Fold 6 leak suggests it will only be slightly higher, as 1856 x 2160.
As for the cover screen, there’s disagreement on what size that will be, with one source saying it will have a 6.2-inch cover screen like the Galaxy Z Fold 5, one saying the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s cover screen will be 6.4 inches, and others splitting the difference at 6.3 inches.
The most detailed Galaxy Z Fold 6 cover screen leak we've seen puts it at 6.3 inches with a 986 x 2,376 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Larger or not though it might get some upgrades, with one source claiming that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6’s cover screen could have anti-reflective tech, and another pointing to the use of Corning Gorilla Armor, which would make it more durable than its predecessor’s display.
Based on past form, we’d also expect it to be an AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and a resolution of at least 904 x 2316 – though if it gets larger then the resolution might increase too.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6’s chipset will almost certainly be a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 – that’s the same as you’ll find in the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra among many other phones, and is the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.
So not only is a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 the obvious choice, but it’s also something that numerous leaks have pointed to.
We’ve also heard from multiple sources that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 might have up to 16GB of RAM. That’s up from 12GB in the Z Fold 5. So between that and the expected chipset upgrade, this could be a substantially more powerful phone.
Though based on an early Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 benchmark (which also mentions a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and Android 14), there will seemingly also be a version with 12GB of RAM, and another leak claims that all models of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will have 12GB, so we're not sure what's right here.
Either way though, the Z Fold 6 should be a powerful, as a second Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 benchmark (again with 12GB of RAM) shows it achieving higher scores than even the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Leaks also suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s storage will be the same as the current model, meaning 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB configurations.
The cameras could be the weak link among the Z Fold 6’s specs, because most sources claim that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will have the same cameras as the Z Fold 5.
On the back, that would mean a 50MP f/1.8 main camera, a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide (with a 123-degree field of view), and a 10MP f/2.4 telephoto, offering 3x optical zoom. On the front, that would mean a 10MP f/2.2 selfie camera, while the foldable screen would have a 4MP f/1.8 under-display camera.
That said, one source has said that instead the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 could inherit one of the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s cameras, while another has said that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 might have an improved under display camera. So some improvements are possible, but with most sources pointing to no camera hardware changes on the Z Fold 6, we suspect this is one area that won’t be upgraded.
Finally, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 might have a 4,600mAh battery according to one source. But others say the Z Fold 6 will instead have a 4,400mAh battery, just like the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
We’ve heard the latter Galaxy Z Fold 6 battery claim from multiple sources, so we’d say it’s more likely, and some of the same sources also claim it will charge at 25W, just like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.
Of course, any or all of this could be wrong, and we won’t know for sure until the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is unveiled, which will likely happen on July 10.
