fter the upgrade Samsung made to the Galaxy Z Flip foldable phone last year, the new smartphone rumors bring possible disappointing news.
Last year, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 came with a major display technology update from its predecessor the Z Flip 4. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 came with a bigger cover display of 3.4 inches resolving an issue the former foldable phone had.
It was a known fact that the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will also have a cover display size of 3.4 inches, but leaked information suggests that the display technology will be changed and worsened. The new device that Samsung will launch this year supposedly has an IPS LCD panel instead of the Super AMOLED panel of the previous foldable phone.
What is the difference between the two and why is considered a downgrade?
AMOLED screen can create true blacks and have higher contrast, which means that the colors shown are more vibrant and a greater variety of nuances can be seen. IPS LCD panel has higher brightness and color accuracy, which means that the image will be paler than in the last foldable phone and the image quality would be reduced.

It is believed that the new foldable phone will be similar to its predecessor. The design is expected to be similar to the Z Flip 5, with slight changes in size but nothing that noticeable. The new Galaxy Z Flip 6 will come in two new color variations: mint and lavender. Another expectation the Samsung consumer usually has is that Samsung matches the processor of their new Flip phones to the one on Galaxy S phones. If that is the case this time too, then the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will operate on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. However, some smartphone rumors indicate that the expectation will not be met and the foldable phone would have two variations: one with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and another with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Other smartphone rumors state that the phone will be lighter, thinner, and its battery will last longer. A new and useful feature of the new Galaxy Z Flip 6 is the Interpreter Mode for language translation that can now be used on the cover too permitting you to see the text in one language and the other interlocutor will see the translation making conversation between languages easier.
However, we will not know anything for sure till Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10th in Paris, when the smartphone rumors about the display technology will be confirmed or infirmed. Only 5 days until we’ll see what the new foldable phone has to offer and the new features Samsung has in store for its users.
