Dutch e-commerce platform mobile.nl has reconfirmed that the Galaxy Unpacked event will be held on July 10, where the company will launch the 6th generation foldables. However, the European pricing of the Galaxy Z Flip6 has already been revealed ahead of the launch. The 256GB and 512GB versions of the phone will reportedly cost 1,340 euros (about 10,436 yuan) and 1,467 euros (about 11,425 yuan) respectively. According to a previous rumor, the phone will see a $100 price hike in the US as well.
For context, the same storage variants of the Galaxy Z Flip5 were priced at 1200 euros and 1320 euros respectively. Not to mention, this is a significant price hike.
Galaxy Z Flip 6 could offer upgraded internals with a similar design
In terms of the hardware, the Galaxy Z Flip6 has some notable upgrades. The phone will come with the more capable Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The RAM is also upgraded from 8GB to 12GB which may help the device to run some on-device LLMs better for a better implementation of on-device AI features besides enabling more room for your apps.
In addition, the device will reportedly equip a 50MP main sensor, that is also used in the Galaxy S24 series. This is expected to offer improved picture quality as compared to the predecessor.
The Z Flip6 is also said to equip a 4000 mAh battery, which is significantly larger as compared to the 3700 mAh capacity of the predecessor.
However, the design appears to be similar to the predecessor with the same 3.4″ external screen and the same camera layout. The inner foldable panel also appears to be of the same size as the predecessor. As the phone sees a significant price hike, Samsung may see greater market challenges in certain regions.
