For operation, the Galaxy Z Fold6 is powered by the strong Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
Geekbench results for both US—SM-F956U—and European—SM-F956B—models confirm that it is the latest chipset, thus silencing speculations over an Exynos variant of the flagship model.
While the benchmark scores between the two differ, it’s important to consider that pre-launch units often have performance discrepancies.
One constant feature is the behemoth 12GB of RAM, which is going to be the standard configuration for the Galaxy Z Fold6.
Rumours even point to Samsung offering a higher-capacity variant, perhaps to maintain the premium status of the device, but nothing is confirmed as of yet.
Leaked Photos Show an Unimpressive Bezel
Coming to the design, a live photo leaked by famous leaker Ice Universe gave us a glimpse into the Galaxy Z Fold6’s cover display.
The image depicts a more angled and boxy design compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold5.
The corners are sharper, and the whole form factor appears wider and shorter, in line with rumours of a revised 22:9 aspect ratio for the 6.3-inch cover display.
This design twist makes the Galaxy Z Fold6 more similar to the boxy aesthetics of the OnePlus Open, another folder we’ve tested.
Moreover, the bezels seem thinner, which adds to the sleek and contemporary design.
While the live photo doesn’t give away much about the internal foldable display, previous reports suggest Samsung is aiming for a lighter and more compact build despite the new form factor.
This could be achieved with the help of a titanium chassis, perhaps like the one found in the newly released Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Software-wise, the Galaxy Z Fold6 is likely to come with One UI 6.1, or probably 6.1.1, on top of Android 14—a continuation of Samsung’s promise to deliver a seamless and feature-rich user experience.
Additionally, the device is rumoured to receive seven years of software support, further solidifying its position as a premium offering in the foldable market.
