Is anybody else beginning to really feel like Samsung already has only a few surprises left up its sleeve so far as the still-distant Galaxy Z Flip 6 is anxious? Nicely, here is an attention-grabbing twist for you at the moment. Keep in mind that pre-release unit benchmarked final week with a very unsurprising Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and 8GB RAM on deck?
Are we taking a look at a Galaxy Z Flip 6 FE mannequin right here?
That is positively one risk, however whereas it might clarify using final 12 months’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC in lieu of the newer and sooner Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it clearly would not make quite a lot of sense for a Fan Version gadget to supply extra RAM than a “common” Galaxy high-ender.
The factor with benchmarks of unreleased telephones is that they are often very simply manipulated, so one other potential clarification for what we’re coping with right here is a completely totally different Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered product (like, say, the Galaxy S23 Extremely) disguised underneath the SM-F741U mannequin quantity to mislead us.
This new Z Flip 6 (or Z Flip 6 FE) prototype packs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and 12GB RAM.
We all know that mixture of letters and numbers pertains to an upcoming member of the Galaxy Z Flip household, thoughts you, because it comes after the SM-F731U designation of the present Z Flip 5 in a US unlocked variant.Â
Assuming all the data listed right here at the moment is legit, we might additionally speculate that Samsung is making ready to launch each the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 FE in 8 and 12GB RAM fashions. The Galaxy Z Flip 5, keep in mind, solely comes with 8 gigs of the good things, so an extra 4GB would definitely characterize a big and greater than welcomed improve for flip phone-loving multitaskers.
As you most likely already know if you happen to’ve ever examined a Z Flip 5, Z Fold 5, or a member of the S23 household, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor is loads quick for no matter activity you throw at it proper now, and that is unlikely to vary within the subsequent few months… and even the subsequent couple of years. In any other case put, a Galaxy Z Flip 6 or Z Flip 6 FE with this “outdated” chip underneath its hood ought to ship a greater than satisfying stage of uncooked efficiency for the huge majority of potential patrons on the market.
What about an Exynos model?
Whereas every little thing stays hypothetical and theoretical, we will not assist however surprise what most individuals would select between an Exynos-powered Galaxy Z Flip 6 and a Z Flip 6 FE with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC… in the event that they ever received that alternative.Â
These latest rumors calling for a processor divide for the Z Flip 6 for various areas clearly hinted at Exynos 2400 “worldwide” use, and sure, in case you are questioning, that is an objectively extra highly effective silicon than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Nonetheless, we all know quite a lot of you proceed to have this inherent skepticism in direction of every little thing Exynos, which makes us doubt that Samsung will finally launch Exynos 2400, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 variations of the Z Flip 6 and Z Flip 6 FE.
This barely older pre-release Galaxy Z Flip 6 unit encompasses a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and simply 8GB RAM.
Remember the fact that we do not even know if the Galaxy Z Flip 6 FE is definitely a factor but, and the identical (roughly) goes for the Z Fold 6 FE or Z Fold FE.
