Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 with 12GB RAM, S23 Ultra processor spotted

Galaxy Watch 6 pop-ups

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy and 12GB RAM surfaced. In a strange development, Samsung was spotted testing its next Flip phone with the chip used in the S23 Ultra last year as well as a huge boost in random access memory.

The latest Geekbench listing of Samsung SM-F741U hints that Galaxy Z Flip 6 might use Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip and 12GB of RAM. Earlier, the same model number was benchmarked featuring Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.

Well, it’s the first time the company is planning a 12GB model of its clamshell foldable. It aligns with the rumors that the Exynos chip may expand to Samsung’s foldable lineup. Therefore, the US variant might use the last year’s Snapdragon chip rather than the latest Exynos.

Qualcomm is regularly increasing the prices of mobile platforms. With the Galaxy S23 series, Samsung faced a lot of challenges including higher pricing of Snapdragon chips for Galaxy. Hence, utilization of Exynos in flagship Galaxies would help it maintain the costs.

The launch is expected to happen in July 2024, therefore, it’s early to determine which SoC will be used. It should be noted that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy-powered S24 Ultra received all the AI features available in the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

This way, the next Flip phone with 12GB RAM but last year’s SoC wouldn’t be a bad deal. Pay attention, the fresh Flip 6 listing shows Android 14 OS, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip that scored 1,794 points in the single-core test and 4,486 points in the multi-core test.

Instead of one notification, users are getting two for every single message. For example, if a friend sends a message, the user receives its notification twice. It means that users are observing the same notification being displayed twice.

Samsung has acknowledged the duplicate notification issue of NotiStar. In addition, a community moderator has reassured users that the team is actively investigating the issue. He mentioned that Samsung will improve this phenomenon in an upcoming app update to fix the duplicate notification issue.

Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 September 2024 security update

Samsung is rumored to launch a slimmer foldable smartphone this year. The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition could introduce the best crease control yet. The input comes from a reputed source who also revealed the phone’s existence.

IceUniverse claims that Samsung has done a good job in Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition crease control. The next foldable phone is expected to offer an even less visible crease around the flexing area of the foldable display.

With each generation, the Korean tech giant introduces technological breakthroughs. The Fold 6 features a premium screen with minimally visible crease. The induction of the waterdrop hinge last year changed the game and competition.

Will you buy Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition?

Before consumers, it depends on Samsung whether it wants everyone to buy the SE or not. The company could launch the slimmer foldable in select countries. South Korea and China are most likely, with the handset also listed in India.

The Special Edition model could feature a slimmer design compared to the Z Fold 6. The Korean tech giant is also said to be bringing a larger cover and internal display. We may also see a 200-megapixel primary camera from the S24 Ultra.

On the software end, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE could ship with Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1. The Galaxy AI would play a key role in pushing it into the competition. There’s no doubt Samsung offers the best software experience on large screens.

The hardware part won’t lag as well. Samsung’s upcoming Z Fold 6 SE is said to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. It’s the same chipset that powers the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Z Fold 6.
