Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is reportedly being tested. The next foldable from Samsung is expected to be the successor to the Galaxy Z Flip 5, released last month at the second Galaxy Unpacked event of the year. The anticipated clamshell foldable is expected to get a significant camera upgrade. The Flip 5 was recently launched alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which comes with a 7.6-inch QXGA+ (2,176 x 1,812 pixels) Dynamic AMOLED 2X Infinity Flex primary display and a 6.2-inch full-HD+ (2,316 x 904 pixels) Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover panel.

A Galaxy Club report suggests that Samsung is testing the purported Galaxy Z Flip 6 with a 50-megapixel primary rear sensor. If true, it will be a significant upgrade over the dual 12-megapixel rear sensors of the recently-launched Galaxy Z Flip 5. The report added that the Flip 6 carries the codenamed B6, while the Fold 6 is codenamed Q6.

The Galaxy Flip 6 is expected to launch in 2024 since Flip 5 was released in July this year. Usually, the South Korean tech giant takes a year between the release of two consecutive lineups. For instance, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 was launched in July 2022. It is best to take the current leaks and rumours with a pinch of salt since it is too early for anything to be officially confirmed.
