On July 10, Samsung will reportedly hold its next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event. It appears that this event will focus heavily on Samsung's new foldable phones.

However, Samsung fans might not have to wait for the news about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, thanks to new leaks about the company's upcoming foldable device.

According to leaks first reported by Smartprix, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will receive some pretty significant updates. The foldable is tipped to receive three big gen-over-gen improvements: battery, camera, and a brand new chip.

The big takeaway from these leaks is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6's chipset. It's perhaps the biggest upgrade from the previous model of the phone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. This puts the new foldable device on par with the Galaxy S24 series, which Samsung released earlier this year. So, basically, this phone should be just as fast. 

As for more Samsung S24 déjà vu, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will also get an equivalent camera upgrade as well. The main camera for the new phone will be 50MP, another big upgrade from its predecessor, which only sported a 12MP main camera.

Rounding out the big upgrades is the Galaxy Z Flip 6 battery. The new phone will have a 4,000mAh battery, which is an upgrade from the previous model's 3,700mAh battery. 

According to the leaks, some other features coming to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 include a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. The device will come with 256GB and 512GB storage options and will be reportedly priced at $1,100 and $1,220, respectively.

Be sure to tune in on July 10 for the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event for the official announcements, but we don't expect too much to change up from these leaks.
