Anticipation is building as Samsung gears up to introduce new entries to its foldable phone lineup this year. Among them, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is already making waves, with a recent photo surfacing of its battery, certified by the Korean regulatory agency Safety Korea.
On February 6, a battery produced by ITM Semiconductor Vietnam was approved, aimed at the Galaxy Z Fold 6, judging by its model number.
Enhanced Battery Design Spotted for Galaxy Z Fold 6
In the evolution of Samsung’s foldable series, it appears the Galaxy Z Fold 6, following the Galaxy Z Fold 5’s model number pattern (SM-F946), will likely be the SM-F956. Correspondingly, a battery with the model number EB-BF957ABY-L seems to be designed for the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Although the live photo of the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s battery doesn’t reveal capacity details, one key feature is evident. The battery is encased in an adhesive pouch furnished with a pull tab, a design choice that will undoubtedly simplify battery replacements and elevate the phone’s repairability rating.
It is expected that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will maintain the dual-battery setup of its predecessors, and it is probable that the captured EB-BF957ABY-L is the main battery. Speculation suggests that the complementary smaller battery will also be housed in a similar adhesive pouch for ease of repair.
There have been whispers that the Galaxy Z Fold 6, along with its counterpart the Galaxy Z Flip 6, may feature larger batteries. This, however, remains to be confirmed with future announcements.
Previous rumors have touched upon other potential features, such as a broader cover screen for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the possibility of a new Samsung foldable phone featuring either a rollable or a dual-folding display, set to be released within the year.
As the release of these groundbreaking devices approaches, more information is sure to surface, shedding light on their technical specifications and features, and potentially expanding the horizons of foldable technology.
