Here’s basically every spec for Samsung’s Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6

We’re only one week away from Samsung’s next Unpacked event on July 10th, where we’re expecting the company’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 folding phones — but leaker Evan Blass has just revealed the entire spec sheets and marketing materials with practically everything you’d want to know.

For example, did you know both phones will be lighter, with longer battery life, despite being slightly thinner, and both have slight changes to their screens? Or that the Flip will now let you use Samsung’s language-translating Interpreter Mode on its front cover screen as well, letting you point the text of one language at the person you’re talking to while the other faces you?

Or that the Z Flip 6 will be the first with vapor chamber cooling?

Both also claim IP48 ingress protection, though that’s not necessarily an improvement: the “4” in IP48 is not actually the dust resistance we’ve been waiting for to head off potential long-term hinge damage, but rather protection against solid objects 1mm in size or greater, and it’s possible Samsung simply didn’t bother to claim that rating for previous foldables.

You can find every leaked spec in the galleries below, but here are the highlights we’ve gleaned by checking these specs against last year’s Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5, assuming these details pan out:

We’ve already seen leaked colors for the phones from Blass, including an excellent ice blue Flip. Now, we just need prices, I suppose.
