Samsung reveals another sneak peek of itsarginably thinnest foldable device model
Let me break it down for ya: Samsung recently announced their new line of Galaxy Z foldables – the Fold 6 and Flip 6. They're promising a thinner, lighter, and more durable version, supposedly the most advanced foldable device yet. But, with those thin promises come certain skepticisms.
In a recent blog post, Samsung showed off its new-and-improved design, aiming to make their foldable fit seamlessly into your pockets. Folding up like a sexy little book, the tiny sneak peek they gave us of the Fold 7 looks sleek AF.
But, don't get too excited just yet. The Galaxy Z series has had issues in the past, like when they tried to make the Galaxy S25 Edge thinner, which was a total flop. Sales numbers have since suggested the phone's a bust, despite attempts to absolve the battery woes associated with its slender design.
The blog post didn't give us an exact date for the Unpacked event, but they did mention being able to fit their next foldable on a subway during a busy commute. If that doesn't scream portability, I don't know what does!
Now, if you wanna be the smart-ass in the room, here are the confirmed features:
- Galaxy Z Fold 6:
- Display: A larger 8-inch inner display and a 6.5-inch outer display.
- Processor: Powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
- Camera: Includes a 10MP selfie camera, a 4MP under-display camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, a 50MP wide-angle camera, and a 10MP telephoto camera.
- Software: Runs on Android 14 with One UI 6.1.1.
- Battery: Features a 4,400mAh dual battery with fast wired and wireless charging capabilities.
- Galaxy Z Flip 6:
- Display: A 3.4-inch Super AMOLED FlexWindow.
- Camera: Includes a 50MP wide-angle camera and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera.
- Battery: Offers extended battery life through hardware and software optimizations.

But, with these improvements come certain concerns. The foldable design can cause creases and potential damage from frequent folding. Battery life may still be shorter compared to traditional smartphones due to multiple screens and power-intensive features. And, let's not forget – these bad boys are gonna cost ya!
