Platform

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 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 Fold 5 was powered by the Qualcomm SM8550-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, and now the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 gets a newer, more powerful Qualcomm SM8550-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset based on the 4nm manufacturing process.

The new Qualcomm SM8550-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 features the same 4x Cortex-X4 and 4x Cortex-A720, but the main four cores are clocked higher this time around. The cluster of four Cortex-A720 cores ticks at 2.9 GHz, while the Cortex-A520 cluster remains at 2.2 GHz. The Mali-G88 MP5 GPU, however, has been replaced by the Adreno 750(1 GHz) GPU

OS: Android 14, One UI 6.1
Chipset: Qualcomm SM8550-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4 nm)
CPU: 8-core (1×3.39GHz Cortex-X4 & 3×3.1GHz Cortex-A720 & 2×2.9GHz Cortex-A720 & 2×2.2GHz Cortex-A520)
GPU: Adreno 750 (1 GHz)

Battery and Storage

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 uses the same 4,400 mAh battery as its predecessors, but it’s running a new Qualcomm SM8550-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4 nm) chipset, which promises improved efficiency.

The charging speed has stayed the same as the Galaxy Z Fold 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%.

Type: Li-Ion 4,400 mAh, non-removable
Charging: 45W wired, 15W wireless and 4.5W reversed wireless

Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
