Top Performance

The most powerful processor on any Galaxy Model produced

The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for Galaxy takes you to a new power level.  Experience smoother graphics, faster AI, and improved battery performance on your Galaxy Z Fold 6 once you power the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to life.

An 8-core (1×3.39GHz Cortex-X4 & 3×3.1GHz Cortex-A720 & 2×2.9GHz Cortex-A720 & 2×2.2GHz Cortex-A520) CPU and Adreno 750 GPU altogether make the Galaxy Fold6 seamless and an excellent fit for intensive use such as multitasking and playing games.

Operating System

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 comes installed with the latest OS, Android 14, and upgraded One UI 6.1.1. You will have a great user experience with the latest applications and user interface that make productivity and usability better and more fun as you immerse yourself in the smartphone’s possibilities.

Compact and Productive Smartphone

A large cover screen and sleek foldability pack significant innovation into a pocket-sized productivity powerhouse. One-hand control keeps you efficient even when folded.

Memory Space on the Galaxy Z Fold6

Packed with 256GB internal memory, 256GB 12GB RAM, 512GB 12GB RAM, and 1TB 12GB RAM (depending on the model), the Galaxy Z Fold6 comes ready for high-end action. 12GB RAM is excellent on a high-performance smartphone any day. Besides, the more RAM your phone has, the snappier its performance when switching between applications. With up to 1TB 12GB RAM and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4 nm), the Galaxy Fold6 delivers power with a punch even for most intensive tasks.

256GB/512GB/1TB internal memory is equally impressive and well thought out by Samsung for the desirable premium handset. If you want to download and use apps that consume a lot of memory, such as video editors or complex mobile games, your phone may be limited memory-wise and be prone to hitching and stuttering. However, you stand not to experience this with the Fold6’s up to 1TB internal memory.

Connectivity and Communication on Galaxy Z Fold6

Galaxy Z Fold6 is 5G network enabled. It supports 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks. With SA/NSA/Sub6/mmWave 5G band and HSPA, LTE-A (CA), and 5G network speed, you can upload and download large files quickly and easily compared to lesser network bands on other smartphones.

Moreover, for ease of communication, the Galaxy Fold6 comes packed with installed stereo speakers for the high-quality audio output Samsung handsets are associated with. Unfortunately, it has no 3.5mm jack port, no FM Radio support for radio lovers, and use of traditional wired headsets for a hands-free experience. It would be best to use Bluetooth connectivity (5.3, A2DP, LE, aptX HD) to your devices to listen to music, play videos or watch your series.

The USB Type-C 3.2, OTG, and NFC are great for fast data transfer. Additionally, internet connectivity is equally excellent on the handset, considering it uses the latest WLAN Technology (Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6e, tri-band, Wi-Fi Direct) characterized by minimized buffering and stabilization of the network for the best experience while browsing or video live-streaming.
