Samsung's upcoming foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, are set to be unveiled later this summer. As the release date approaches, leaks from the supply chain are starting to provide details about the devices.
New Battery Certification
A recent certification from Safety Korea, a regulatory agency, confirms the development of a new battery that is likely intended for the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The certified battery has the model number EB-BF957ABY-L.
The battery photographs from Safety Korea show a design that includes a pull tab. This pull tab is expected to enhance the device's repairability by making battery replacements easier.
Dual-Battery System
While the capacity of the battery remains unknown, it is likely that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will continue with the dual-battery system seen in earlier Fold models. It is possible that the primary battery unit will be paired with a second, smaller battery that also includes the pull-tab feature for easier repairs.
Previous leaks suggested that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 may include larger batteries. It is plausible that Samsung is adopting a similar strategy for the Galaxy Z Fold 6, although this has not been confirmed.
Speculations and Rumors
There are additional rumors surrounding the Galaxy Z Fold 6. One speculation is that it could feature a wider cover screen. There are also indications that Samsung may be working on a separate foldable device altogether, potentially with a rollable or dual-folding display design, which could debut this year.
As of now, there is no solid information on when Samsung will release the next Galaxy Z-series foldable phones. However, based on previous patterns, they are likely to launch in Q3, 2024, at the second Galaxy Unpacked event of the year. We will keep you updated as more information comes in.
