Platform
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 runs on the latest Android 14 out of the box with Samsung’s own One UI 6.1.
Last year’s Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 was powered by the Qualcomm SM8550-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, and now the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 gets a newer, more powerful Qualcomm SM8550-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset based on the 4nm manufacturing process.
The new Qualcomm SM8550-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 features the same 3x Cortex-X3 and 3x Cortex-A715, but the main four cores are clocked higher this time around. The cluster of four Cortex-A710 cores ticks at 2.8 GHz, while the Cortex-A510 cluster remains at 2.0 GHz. The Mali-G88 MP5 GPU, however, has been replaced by the Adreno 740 GPU
- OS: Android 14, One UI 6.1
- Chipset: Qualcomm SM8550-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (4 nm)
- CPU: Octa-core (1×3.2 GHz Cortex-X3 & 2×2.8 GHz Cortex-A715 & 2×2.8 GHz Cortex-A710 & 3×2.0 GHz Cortex-A510)
- GPU: Adreno 740
Battery and Storage
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 uses the same 3,700 mAh battery as its predecessors, but it’s running a new Qualcomm SM8550-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (4 nm) chipset, which promises improved efficiency.
The charging speed has stayed the same as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 still relies on the 45-watt Power Delivery protocol, which isn’t very competitive in its price bracket. It takes about 1 hour and 3 minutes to complete a full charging cycle, while a 30-minute charge would only bring the battery to 55%.
