Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 gains crucial FCC certificate ahead of July debut
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 makes its appearance on the FCC database. The company is expected to introduce its new foldable phones in July this year. The FCC certification listing indicates that things are going smoothly and preparations by Samsung are underway.
As spotted by 91mobiles, FCC certification listed Samsung’s SM-F956U, which would be marketed as the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The supporting document shows the phone’s design with a large inner screen that folds in the middle and a cover screen on the front.
In addition, the FCC document confirms the Z Fold 6 supports wireless charging and 5G connectivity. The smartphone’s charging adapter has the model number EP-TA800, whereas the wireless charger has the EP-P5400 model number.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 will have Wi-Fi 5.8GHz connectivity as well as Bluetooth, NFC, WPT, and UWB. This Wi-Fi tech is a dual-band frequency, which offers up to 1300Mb/sec speed. The reason behind using it seems to be to reduce the phone’s thickness and make it lighter.
Recently, we’ve seen the real-life image of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, showcasing the cover screen. The panel is expected to be as large as the Fold 5’s cover screen + thickness of the right bezel. It’s a significant improvement that Samsung managed to make without major form factor changes.
As far as the performance is concerned, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor will be used by both foldables. It will offer stable and seamless performance and gaming experience, however, the camera department may be disappointing as no upgrade for Fold is rumored.
HD images of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch Ultra, Watch 7, Buds 3 Pro have leaked. Courtesy of Evan Blass, we now have official images of Galaxy Unpacked products, two weeks ahead of the official unveiling.
Starting with the HD images of Galaxy Watch Ultra, Samsung has made it quite precious. It would feature Apple’s Watch Ultra-like bands, making it stand apart from the Standard and Classic variants.
The Galaxy Watch 7 continues to bring Samsung’s signature smartwatch design. It will have touchscreen bezels. The band may get upgraded with an Ultra-model feel but without dual clasp element.
The Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are also shown in all their glory. These products are also inspired by Apple’s AirPods, bringing stems and vents for multi-purpose enhancements.
Samsung has reportedly fueled the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro with Mercedez-like LED light strips on stems. However, it remains to be seen whether the LED will glow in Pure White or in RGB format.
Samsung will also launch the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 foldables. The former retains the same design, while the latter will have a slightly wider cover screen, making it more useful in unfolded state.
Samsung is planning to release a new software update for the Galaxy S24 series soon to address the issue with the Gallery’s photo editing mode. The moderator has confirmed this information through a post on the Samsung community.
Users of the Galaxy S24 series have reported an issue with photo editing on the Gallery app after moving photos using the Smart Switch app. This issue is particularly noticeable when photos edited in the Gallery app’s editing mode are not saving properly after the transfer.
Samsung is already aware of this issue and is preparing to release a new software update to fix it. Users may soon receive a notification prompting them to update their device. It is expected that the July 2024 security update will fix this issue.
To update your Galaxy S24 smartphone, go to Settings and then scroll down and select Software Update. If an update is available, tap Download and Install to start updating your device. It is important to keep your device software up-to-date to ensure it functions optimally.
