Key Takeaways
- Samsung’s Z Fold 6 is expected to have a sleeker, squared-off design in grey, pink and navy blue colours.
- The Z Flip 6 will be available in blue, silver, green, and yellow, with few noticeable differences compared to the Flip 5.
- Both phones are expected to be unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event on July 10.
Two new leaked renders may have fully revealed the appearance and color options of Samsung’s upcoming foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. The images come from well-known leaker Evan Blass and German site WinFuture. The Z Fold 6 appears to come in three color options — gray, pink, and navy blue — and will have a squared-off design that matches other recent leaks. The renders also show thinner hinges and bezels, as well as a black ring around the rear camera lens.

With bendable screens, Android support, huge potential, and a hefty price tag, here are the devices that are leading the foldable smartphone trend.
The Z Flip 6 is expected to ship in four colors: blue, silver, green, and yellow. The design will be largely the same as the Z Flip 5, but Samsung may be using brushed metal (or something similar) and the ring around the rear camera is color-matched to the rest of the device, the latter being a rare aesthetic in the smartphone industry.
Samsung is expected to unveil both smartphones at its Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July 10 in Paris. The event is set to begin at 3pm CEST, which is 9am EST and 6am PST. Alongside the new Fold and Flip models, the Galaxy Watch 7 is likely to appear, including a rugged Ultra model to rival the Apple Watch Ultra. The Galaxy Tab S10 might also make an appearance, but anticipation is more focused on the Galaxy Ring, the health-tracking wearable that Samsung has only teased until now; the July 10 showcase should be the first detailed look at its features.
What are the specs of the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6?
Both phones should be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Little else is known about the Z Fold 6, but the Z Flip 6 will likely upgrade its main camera from 12 megapixels to 50 megapixels, bringing it on par with other high-end smartphones. Battery capacity is likely to increase from 3,700mAh to 4,000mAh, but it’s unclear if this will make a significant difference in lifespan, as this may be needed to accommodate the increased performance.
Samsung may have a tough fight this fall when it comes to market attention: Google is scheduled to show off the Pixel 9, Pixel Watch 3, and Pixel Fold 2 at its event on August 13, followed by Apple, as usual, in September with its iPhone launch. The company hasn’t hinted at the possibility of a foldable yet, but the iPhone is usually Samsung’s main competition.
