Samsung may have a bad surprise for the Galaxy Z Flip 6

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6

Recently, there has been much news about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, including leaks of the likely spec sheets for each. These leaks align with earlier ones, indicating no significant surprises — except for a noteworthy detail about the Galaxy Z Flip 6.

According to leaks, this year's Galaxy Z Flip will feature an IPS LCD panel for its cover screen, whereas last year's Galaxy Z Flip 5 had an AMOLED panel. This change is surprising because AMOLED is generally considered better than IPS LCD — offering improved colors and deeper blacks.

Forget about Samsung Unpacked. Official Galaxy Z Flip 6 images are here

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6

Samsung is set to officially introduce the Galaxy Z Flip 6 on Wednesday, July 11. But today, Evan Blass leaked Samsung's official marketing images for the highly anticipated phone on X. Two critical points come to mind when looking at these images: First, they don't reveal anything new that hasn't already been gleaned from the ever-growing list of rumors and leaks. Second, wow, this phone looks fantastic.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is expected to have a design similar to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 5. It is anticipated to feature a 6.7-inch main screen and a 3.4-inch cover display. A rumor suggests that Samsung may increase the cover display to 3.9 inches, but this is not confirmed based on the leaked images.
