Samsung‘s upcoming flagship foldable flip phone – the Galaxy Z Flip6 has now been tipped to feature only the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Previously, Samsung had released the Galaxy Z Flip models in two chipset options – Snapdragon and the Exynos 2400. The new information is coming from a tipster kro_roe via an X (formerly known as Twitter) post.

The next Samsung unpacked event is scheduled for July 10 and the Galaxy Z Flip6 and the Galaxy Z Fold6 are expected to be unveiled. The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 are flagship models with global appeal across several markets. The tipster points to an indication that Samsung will not feature the Exynos 2400 chips on the Galaxy Z Flip6 model. Previous leaks had pointed out that the Galaxy Z Flip6 will feature the Exynos 2400 chipset in some regions and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in other regions.

Samsung usually equips its flagship foldable models, the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets. On the other hand, the dual chipset approach has been traditionally applied to the Galaxy S models which get either a Qualcomm or an Exynos SoC. It would have been a major shift from its normal policy. It is however noted that the Exynos 2400 chipset featured in the Samsung Galaxy S24 models compares squarely with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in terms of performance and efficiency.

There is no official confirmation yet on the authenticity of the dual-chipset hint or otherwise for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 at this time. The official optics will however become evident as we inch closer to the scheduled July 10 Samsung Unpacked Event.
