Dutch e-commerce platform mobile.nl has confirmed that the Galaxy Unpacked event is scheduled for July 10, where Samsung will unveil its 6th generation foldable devices. Ahead of the launch, the European prices for the Galaxy Z Flip6 have already been disclosed. The 256GB model is expected to cost 1,340 euros (around 10,436 yuan), while the 512GB version will be priced at 1,467 euros (approximately 11,425 yuan). Additionally, earlier rumors suggest that the phone will also see a $100 price increase in the United States.
For comparison, the same storage options of the Galaxy Z Flip5 were sold for 1200 euros and 1320 euros respectively, highlighting a notable jump in pricing.
Galaxy Z Flip 6 Could Feature Enhanced Specifications with Familiar Design
Regarding the hardware, the Galaxy Z Flip6 is set to introduce some significant improvements. It will feature the more robust Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Additionally, the RAM has been upgraded from 8GB to 12GB, which could enhance the device's ability to run on-device large language models (LLMs) for improved AI functionalities and provide more room for apps.
Furthermore, the device is rumored to include a 50MP main sensor, the same one used in the Galaxy S24 series, which should result in better picture quality compared to its predecessor.
The Z Flip6 is also speculated to come with a 4000 mAh battery, offering a substantial increase from the 3700 mAh capacity of the previous model.
However, the design appears to remain largely unchanged, featuring the same 3.4″ external screen and camera layout. The inner foldable display also seems to be the same size as the previous model. With the significant price increase, Samsung might face greater market challenges in certain regions.
