Samsung’s most powerful foldable screen! Summary of highlights of Galaxy Z Fold6 series

According to SAMOBILE, Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 may be released on July 10, 2024. Previously, it was only a conjecture that the Galaxy Z Fold would be equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8. However, subsequent test data confirmed that the third-generation Snapdragon 8 will be equipped with the Galaxy Z Fold6, and the vertically folding Galaxy Z Flip6 of the same series is likely to be the same. The same chipset will be used.
Test results for a carrier-locked version of the Galaxy Z Fold6 (model number SM-F956U) have appeared on Geekbench, where a listing for the device confirms it will be powered by Qualcomm’s third-generation Snapdragon 8 platform.

The test results show that Galaxy Z Fold6 scored 1964 points in the single-core test and 6619 points in the multi-core test. For comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 equipped with the second-generation Snapdragon 8 platform (first exposed running score) has a multi-core test score of about 5080 points and a single-core test score of about 1850 points.
This means that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold6 has a slight improvement in single-core CPU performance compared to the previous generation, and the improvement in multi-core performance is more obvious.
Equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8, it guarantees Samsung’s lower limit in the flagship folding screen field, but for Samsung folding screen models, this is not enough.
It is worth mentioning that there were previous rumors that Samsung will also launch a cheaper Galaxy Z Fold6 (possibly the FE version) for the Galaxy Z Fold6. Other reports claim that Samsung will launch the Galaxy Z Fold6 Ultra with a better imaging module. .

Due to insufficient product differentiation and market uncertainty, Samsung plans to cancel its launch – that is, it will only launch the standard Galaxy Z Flip6 and Galaxy Z Fold6 models.
Samsung MX CEO Lu Taiwen said that annual shipments of foldable mobile phones will exceed 100 million units in the next five years, but Samsung has fallen behind in the competition.
Domestic foldable mobile phones have sprung up and iterated, and have quickly formed a competitive advantage over Samsung folding screen models. Domestic folding screen models have larger and brighter screens, larger camera sensors, larger batteries and faster speeds. charging speed.
According to IDC data, China’s folding screen mobile phone market shipments will grow by more than 100% year-on-year in 2023, and China’s folding screen market has considerable growth potential.

A more diversified competitive landscape and more mature and rich folding screen products will accelerate the prosperity of China’s folding screen market. . China’s folding screen mobile phone market is expected to explode in 2024 and continue to maintain steady growth thereafter, and the frequency of folding screen phone replacements will be higher than the market average.
