Samsung‘s highly anticipated foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, are expected to be unveiled later this summer. As the release date approaches, supply chain leaks are beginning to reveal details about the devices. 

A recent certification from Safety Korea, a regulatory agency, confirms the development of a new battery likely intended for the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The newly certified battery carries the model number EB-BF957ABY-L. 

The battery photographs from Safety Korea reveal a design that includes a pull tab. This pull tab is expected to enhance the device’s repairability by making battery replacements easier.

While the battery’s capacity remains unknown, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is likely to continue with the dual-battery system seen in earlier Fold models. It’s possible this primary battery unit will be paired with a second, smaller battery that also includes the pull-tab feature for easier repairs.

Previous leaks suggested that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 may include larger batteries. It’s plausible that Samsung is adopting a similar strategy for the Galaxy Z Fold 6, though this has not been confirmed.

Additional rumors indicate that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 could feature a wider cover screen. There’s also speculation that Samsung may be working on a separate foldable device altogether, potentially with a rollable or dual-folding display design, which could debut this year.

Right now, there’s no solid info on when Samsung will release the next Galaxy Z-series foldable phones. However, based on previous patterns, they’re likely to launch in Q3, 2024, at the second Galaxy Unpacked event of the year. We’ll keep you updated as more information comes in.
