We only have about two weeks before the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 are expected to get their official launch at Samsung's next Unpacked event on July 10. However, the leaks continue to come. The latest comes from @MysteryLupin, a fairly reliable leaker on X (formerly Twitter), who posted a weird message that leads to a PostImage gallery link showing a variety of official cases for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6.

This giant Galaxy Z Fold 6 leak just spoiled everything

We can’t go a day without a new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 leak. And today, there’s a significant one that may just cover the entire spec sheet for the upcoming device. And if this spec sheet is correct, some previous rumors might not be accurate. The specs come from Smartprix, which typically is correct on these matters.

The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 is rumored to have a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner display with a 2160 x 1856 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will also feature a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X outer display with a resolution of 2376 x 968 and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Samsung is slated to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 6 -- along with the Z Flip 6, Galaxy Watch 7 series, and the Galaxy Ring -- sometime next month. But ahead of the formal announcement, a flurry of leaks has given us a fairly good idea of the massive design change that the Fold 6 will undergo. The improvements, however, will come with a price hike, as a new leak points out.
