Platform

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 runs on the latest Android 14 out of the box with Samsung’s own One UI 6.1.1.

Last year’s Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is powered by the Qualcomm SM8650-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset based on the 4nm manufacturing process.

The new Qualcomm SM8650-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4 nm) features the same 3x Cortex-X4 and 3x Cortex-A720, but the main four cores are clocked higher this time around. The cluster of four Cortex-A710 cores ticks at 1GHz, while the Cortex-A510 cluster remains at 2.0 GHz. The Mali-G88 MP5 GPU, however, has been replaced by the Adreno 740 GPU

Battery and Storage

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 uses the same 4,000 mAh battery as its predecessors, but it’s running a new Qualcomm SM8650-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (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 25W wired, QC2 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 50%.
