The latest news about Samsung's upcoming foldable shell shows that its mass production has already begun. Now, the passage of the Galaxy Z Flip6 through Geekbench has confirmed some of its specifications and given rise to new rumors about its features. Overall, few hardware updates are expected compared to the outgoing model.
Android 14 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on Galaxy Z Flip6
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has just passed the Geekbench benchmark, which confirmed that the model runs Android 14 and will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.
The model tested on the well-known platform also has 8 GB of RAM, as with its predecessor.
Therefore, we can expect that hardware updates will be less than desirable. In practice, the model will retain the same RAM capacity and will update both the processor and operating system to the next version.
Some previous rumors suggested that the Galaxy Z Flip6 would have a 12GB RAM version, but for now we'll have to assume that this may not happen due to this visit to Geekbench, which tested the model with 8GB of RAM.
The big news may be in the resources
But although Samsung will be making few changes in terms of hardware, the big news in the Galaxy Z Flip6 could be in its features.
The model will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, equipped to handle AI resources. Considering the success of the Galaxy AI features in the Galaxy S24 series, it is practically certain that the new foldable devices will also be equipped with these features.
Not only because the Galaxy Z Flip6 will have One UI 6.1, but also because its predecessor will also get the much-desired Galaxy IA features.
In this sense, the presentation of the new foldable chassis could also focus heavily on all the AI features it will have.
