Huawei’s 2024 Samsung Z Flip rival launches with quad camera, tiny cover screen
Samsung is currently the ruler in the foldable phone market and is also preparing new foldable models to cater to the needs of a diverse range of users, therefore, Huawei already entered the ground with its new clamshell device to rival the 2024 Galaxy Z Flip.
The most awaited Huawei Pocket 2 is finally launched with an improved main display, increased cover display, better rear cameras, and stylish design. But even after adopting some upgrades, Huawei could not beat the glory of Galaxy Flip, as they are better than anything.
Yet, there is one aspect in which Huawei Pocket 2 could rival the 2024 Samsung Z Flip, is the quad camera setup. Yes, the newly arrived folding phone from Huawei offers an XMAGE quad camera setup that consists of a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide, an 8MP telephoto, and 3x optical zoom.
Whereas, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is expected to come with the same dual camera setup consisting of a 50MP main and ultrawide lens. Even though, the camera quality of Samsung’s upcoming clamshell device may beat, the immense-looking quad camera module and could win the hearts of users.
Moving ahead, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is currently the latest clamshell model of Samsung and it is also said to be the best invention of 2023. The device comes with a large 3.4-inch cover display, while the Pocket 2 only features a 1.15-inch cover panel making it less functional for users.

However, the other key details of Huawei Pocket 2 include a 6.94-inch LTPO OLED panel, a Kirin 9000S processor, a 4,520mAh battery with 66W wired fast charging, 40W wireless fast charging, and 7.5W wireless reverse charging, WiFi, Bluetooth 5.2, USB Type C, NFC support and more.
Google teased the Pixel 9 Pro smartphone launching on August 13. This year’s Made by Google event is taking place two months before its usual schedule. With early launch, the company aims to better compete with its rivals including Apple and Samsung.
The Pixel 9 Pro teaser has been published on Google Store. It’s a 12-second video clip, which begins with the animation of “Google Pixel” text featuring a Gemini color palette. The text disappears save for “ix” — or the Roman Numeral for 9.
The entire animation screens the appearance of the phone’s camera bar. The phone seems to have three lenses, indicating the Pixel 9 Pro. Interestingly, the teaser video published by Google ends on August 13, 2024, in Roman Numerals.

Meanwhile, Samsung is set to introduce the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 in July. The phones will bring new Galaxy AI features and enhancements to the table. However, upgrades to Google AI would be worth seeing as the Galaxy S25 series might be inspired by it.

Samsung is set to launch its next-generation foldable smartphones, Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6, at the Galaxy 2024 Unpacked Event next month. Several reports have been surfacing online that reveal the features, design, and specs of these devices. A new report reveals that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 may have less visible crease than the Z Flip 5.
According to tipster IceUniverse, the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6 smartphone will get slight improvements in the crease in comparison to its predecessor. The company is constantly trying to eliminate the crease in foldable displays, with gradual improvements being made.
As for the crease, Flip6 is better than Flip5, and Fold6 has little improvement.

The Korean tech giant aims to offer an even better display experience with the less visible crease in its next foldable phones. In foldable display products, the crease is the area where the panel folds and unfolds. It is almost impossible to eliminate the crease, but Samsung is improving it.
Previous reports also revealed that Samsung will use thicker ultra-thin glass (UTG) for the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s folding screen. By using this glass, the smartphones will have smaller crease and durable glass. While the Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes with a UTG of 30 microns, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 might use 50 microns thicker UTG.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra might not be limited to South Korea. A new report indicates that the company could launch its first Ultra foldable phone in at least two countries: China and South Korea.
AndroidHeadlines reports that Samsung is planning to introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra in China too. Previously, it was reported that the company could keep this exclusive variant limited to its home ground.
Samsung has been working on Q6 and Q6A for a long. As per previous reports, Q6 is the internal codename for the Z Fold 6, while the Q6A is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra.
In a surprising development, Samsung SM-W9025 has been spotted on AndroidHeadlines database. It doesn’t match SM-F958N, which is the Korean variant’s model number.
It is expected that the model number of Samsung’s upcoming foldable in China is quite different from the Korean variant. So rather than Z Fold 6 Ultra, Samsung may opt for W25 Ultra naming for its debut in the Chinese market.
Earlier, Samsung’s Kazakhstan website accidentally published official promo material of the Unpacked. The image revealed the design of the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Since the Z Fold 6 Ultra was missing from the leaked promo, it is expected to be limited to certain markets. Also, rather than the Unpacked stage, the company may pick a later date to introduce its nighty foldable handset.
