Rumor suggests Samsung Z Fold 6 chipset will provide powerful performance.

As the excitement for Samsung's next foldable phone generation intensifies, a new Samsung Z Fold 6 chipset rumor is making the rounds online. It's good news for supporters of the Snapdragon that it seems the Korean tech giant is approaching processors differently than it did with the S24 launch earlier this year.

The Elec, a Korean magazine, reports that Samsung will be supplying Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets to the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 worldwide. For those unaware, the Qualcomm SoC-equipped S24 and S24+ Samsung phones are limited to China, Canada, and the US; the rest of the world is forced to use the company's own Exynos 2400 CPU.

Many firms choose to utilize the newest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in their handsets, despite the fact that the Exynos 2400 is a respectable piece of technology. The Snapdragon alternative is the finest available on the market. Thanks to this tech selection, two of our top phones for 2024—the Xiaomi 14 and Honor Magic6 Pro—offer amazing performance. It seems that Samsung plans to provide the same exceptional performance levels in its next foldable phones and flip phones models.

Remarkably, the report from The Elec also raises the possibility that we may see the Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 sooner than we previously anticipated, speculating that the next Samsung Unpacked might take place on July 10. If so, Samsung is probably going to announce this officially very soon. Regardless, we will promptly disclose the official launch date as soon as the company confirms it.

Here is all you need to know about the rumored Snapdragon SoC that powers the Samsung Z Fold 6 phone, regardless of where you purchase it.
