The launch of Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 is another step closer Both models are listed in the Bureau of Indian Standards database (via 91Mobiles), and the listing confirms that both models are powered by dual batteries
This is not a big surprise Samsung's foldable handsets regularly employ dual-battery setups Otherwise, one large battery would get in the way of the hinge in the middle of the phone, which would defeat the purpose of being a foldable device
Rumors suggest that both models will have larger battery capacities than last year, with the Z Flip 6 adding an additional 300mAh However, these regulatory lists do not reveal any details about this: the Z Fold 6 will have EB-BF956ABE and EB-BF956ABY batteries, while the Z Flip 6 will have EB-BF741ABE and EB-BF741ABY batteries
Not only this, but according to a new leak, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will get a slight design refresh: according to Twitter/X's Ice Universe, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will have a wider design, with an angle closer to 90 degrees
If that sounds familiar, that's because the Galaxy S24 Ultra looks quite similar; Ice Universe also claims that the corners may resemble those of the Nubia Z60 Ultra The corners are not sharp, but slightly curved, but not far off
The wider cover display may also solve one of the biggest complaints about the Z Fold series, the narrow screen; as we noted in our review of the Google Pixel Fold, the wider cover display on Google's first foldable is much more comfortable to use improved By comparison, we noted that Samsung's cover display is quite claustrophobic by virtue of offering a taller, narrower design
More space could lead to a larger, more square internal display like the OnePlus Open It is also one of the best design choices of its rivals, and it would be a good sign that Samsung will offer something similar
There is still some time before Samsung announces its next folderable and no doubt we will hear more news and rumors in the coming months So be sure to check out our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 hubs for all the latest info
