Samsung is reportedly mixing things up with the chip choice for its upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6, a change from its usual strategy.
Until now, Samsung’s top-tier and mid-range Galaxy S phones often come with their Exynos processors, while the innovative Flip and Fold devices have favoured Qualcomm’s leading Snapdragon chips.
This year, whispers suggest the Flip 6 might see Samsung opting for its own Exynos chip in select markets.
Flip 6 Spec Sheet
Snapdragon, Exynos up to 8 GB RAM, 12 GB depending on region
256,512 GB of storage
Longer battery than predecessor
120Hz external screen in development— kro (@kro_roe) March 23, 2024
The current Galaxy Z Flip 5, known for its sleek clamshell design, could be succeeded by a model that alternates between Snapdragon and Exynos chips depending on where you are in the world.
The specific models in question are the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and the Exynos 2400—the latter already powers the Galaxy S24 and S24+ in certain regions.
These rumblings come from Korean tech insider @kro_roe, with additional backing from @Tech_Reve—though their account has since vanished from the social platform X.
It’s hinted that Samsung might favour the Exynos 2400 for the Flip 6 in places like Europe and Asia, keeping the Snapdragon variant a US exclusive.
Samsung’s latest Exynos offering is a step up in terms of efficiency and power, but it reportedly still doesn’t quite reach the heights of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is featured in several top Android smartphones, including Samsung’s own Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The new Galaxy Z Flip 6 is also expected to have a longer battery life than its predecessor, potentially due to more efficient components and a larger battery.
This enhancement comes even as the phone adopts a 120Hz refresh rate screen for its external display.
The device might come with a slight increase in thickness, potentially allowing for a more substantial battery.
It remains to be seen whether Samsung will update the dual 12MP camera setup from the Flip 5 or opt for new, improved sensors to enhance photo quality.
Rumours also suggest the Flip 6 might come with up to 12GB of RAM in certain markets, while keeping its base storage at 256GB, with a 512GB version also available.
Design-wise, early leaks indicate the Galaxy Z Flip 6 won’t stray far from the look of the Flip 5, maintaining the 6.7-inch main display and 3.4-inch cover screen.
However, there’s talk of new colour options to freshen up the lineup.

There’s buzz that Samsung is planning a shift in its chip strategy for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, possibly incorporating its Exynos processor in certain areas. This would mark a change from its traditional use of Snapdragon chips for the device, potentially offering the Exynos 2400 in markets outside the US, where the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 might remain the standard.
Leaks suggest that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could enjoy a boost in battery performance. This improvement is likely due to the integration of more efficient parts and possibly a larger battery size, even as the device adopts a high 120Hz refresh rate for its cover screen.
Early indications suggest that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will maintain a similar design aesthetic to the Flip 5, with a 6.7-inch main and 3.4-inch cover display. However, it might come in a slightly thicker form factor to accommodate a bigger battery and might also introduce fresh color options to the lineup.
Rumors hint at the Galaxy Z Flip 6 coming with up to 12GB of RAM in select markets, maintaining a base storage capacity of 256GB. A larger 512GB storage option is also anticipated, providing ample space for apps, media, and more.
