Samsung can’t stop the leaks! A week before its next Galaxy Unpacked launch event, Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 specifications have leaked in detail. And this leak reveals some exciting things about the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s screen and the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s battery and performance.
There is also something really exciting about the durability of both phones.
Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6 specifications
Legendary leakster Evan Blass (a.k.a @evleaks) has leaked marketing images of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6 via his Substack newsletter. Leaked images reveal that both phones use the Armor Aluminum material for their frame and the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection for the cover screen. It was expected that Samsung would use a titanium frame for the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.
More importantly, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6 are IP48 rated for dust and water resistance. While not as good as the IP68 rating for high-end bar-style phones, it is still a major improvement from the IPX8 rating usually seen on foldable phones.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 uses the same sized displays—a 3.4-inch cover screen and a 6.7-inch foldable screen—as its predecessor. The 3.4-inch OLED screen keeps the 720 x 748 pixels resolution and runs at 60Hz, while the 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen has Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz variable refresh rate.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen with HD+ resolution and a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen with QXGA+ resolution. Both screens have a 120Hz variable refresh rate and a peak brightness of up to 2,600 nits. That’s matching the screens on the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Both phones use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 For Galaxy processor with 12GB RAM and 256GB/512GB storage. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 might also be available in a 1TB storage variant. Both phones run Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1 software. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a vapor chamber system for more efficient cooling, which is the first in a Galaxy Z Flip series phone.
Both phones also have Galaxy AI, so you can use features like Circle to Search, Interpreter Mode, and Notes Summarization. But we can’t spot any new Galaxy AI features that were rumored earlier. The Chat Assist feature seems to have improved and optimized for the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s cover screen, making it easier to reply to messages through context-sensitive replies suggested by Galaxy AI.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 10MP selfie camera. It can record 4K 60fps videos using all its cameras.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a 50MP primary rear camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, a 10MP telephoto camera (3x optical zoom), a 10MP front-facing camera on the cover screen, and a 4MP front-facing camera on the inner screen. It can record 4K 60fps videos using all its cameras, just like the Galaxy Z Flip 6, but it can also record 8K 30fps videos and 4K 120fps slow-motion videos using the primary camera.
Despite its 4,000mAh battery, an upgrade over the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s 3,700mAh battery, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is thinner than its predecessor. It measures 85.1 × 71.9 × 14.9mm and weighs 187g (same as Z Flip 5).
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 measures 155.5 x 152.6 x 5.6mm when unfolded and 85.1 x 71.9 x 14.9mm when closed. It weighs 239g, 14g lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Similar to its predecessor, it has a 4,400mAh battery. The complete specifications of both phones are posted below.
Both phones have a side-mounted fingerprint reader, stereo speakers, dual-SIM card slot, GPS, 5G (sub-6GHz), Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port. Only the Galaxy Z Fold 6 has Samsung DeX, though.
The story continues after our video below.

The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is claimed to last up to 18 hours while browsing the web, 23 hours during video playback, and 77 hours during wireless audio playback. These figures are only slightly better than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Charging speeds haven’t been revealed in these images.
