Samsung's next foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6, are still expected to arrive in the next six months, but one leaker offers fresh and exciting insight into what to expect from the latter

On the Korean site Naver, blogger yeux1122 writes about the expected changes While early rumors, especially those that are subject to machine translation errors, should be treated with skepticism, this blogger has been proven correct in the past about Samsung's activities

So, aside from that health check, what does yeux1122 claim?

First, Samsung seems to be on an ongoing mission to make the Galaxy Z Fold series pocketable This will manifest itself in the form of a more compact (yet durable) hinge as well as an overall thinner profile Also, the ultra-thin glass is said to improve both feel and durability

Leeker also claims that the upcoming foldable will follow the design cues of Samsung's Galaxy S24 series, with titanium and other finishes, and a battery boost of about 5% For reference, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 now has a 4,400mAh cell, which our tests show will last just under 11 hours of mixed use (a big jump from the Galaxy Z Fold 4's 9:17)

The "Currently Confirmed" section has some exciting information that has not yet been confirmed, as the heading suggests First, the leaker suggests that the device may have up to 16 GB of RAM This is an amount that Samsung has not included in its phones since the S21 Ultra in 2021, and it will come with up to 1TB of onboard storage (unchanged from the current model)

Second, the reduced thickness of the handset should have an impact on weight, although it may not be as dramatic as you might think Comparing the weight of previous prototypes to the final product, yeux1122 expects the Z Fold 6 to weigh around 248-249g

Despite this, we do not expect a dedicated slot for the S Pen as seen on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra The blog claims that "it is more likely that the Fold 6 will not feature one"

Previously, we have heard that the phone may adopt a wider aspect ratio and what is called an "Ironflex" display We don't expect major changes to the camera, but there is a lingering hope that we may see a cheaper Z Fold announced this year along with the main flagship, which could give the foldable market a much-needed shot in the arm
