Samsung Could Ditch Snapdragon SoC to Use In-House Exynos Chips For Galaxy Z Flip 6
Samsung, after it collaborated with Qualcomm, stuck with the Snapdragon chipset for its flagship device, especially for the Galaxy Z Fold and Flip devices. It hardly goes with its in-house Exynos chipset. But now it appears that the giants may change their strategy.
Samsung is looking forward to its next-generation foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, which are supposed to debut at the next Galaxy Unpacked event in July 2024. If the reports are to be believed, the Korean giants will ditch the Snapdragon SoC for its in-house Exynos with the forthcoming foldables.
This is being speculated by a post on X shared by a tipster, @Kro_roe, which mentioned the Galaxy Z Flip 6 Spec Sheet, which unveiled that the forthcoming Flip 6 will be powered by a Snapdragon or Exynos chip based on the region. However, apart from this, no detailed information such as SoC model numbers is mentioned. Samsung will use the strategy of using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or the Exynos 2400 for the sixth generation foldable; it is not crystal clear yet.
Although chipsets based on regions are not new, we have already seen that Samsung powered its recently launched Galaxy S24 with the Exynos 2400 in Europe, Asia, and other major markets, with the Snapdragon variant exclusive to the US.
Apart from the chipset, it is also mentioned in the specs sheet that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will get up to 12GB of RAM based on region and up to 512 GB of internal storage. Following the storage details, battery information is mentioned, which states that this time the Giants will offer long-lasting battery life as compared to their predecessor. Also, the giants are actively working on a 120 Hz external screen, which is still in development.
Following the successful launch of the Galaxy S24 flagship device, several rumors have started circulating on the internet. Now, according to the latest development, there is a new listing coming in the highlight, which means the phone is under development and will be available on the market soon.
Some reports suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE, currently under development under the code name R12, could make its market debut in late 2024. Rumors suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE will initially be available in limited markets before potentially launching globally in 2024.
The Internet has also surfaced some rumored specs of the S24 FE, revealing several details about the device, including a 6.1-inch AMOLED display, 128 GB and 256 GB of RAM, and 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. It might have a 4500 mAh battery for power backup.
Samsung hasn’t officially revealed anything about the Galaxy S24 FE’s features or release date yet. However, a listing in a UK carrier database suggests this phone – known for offering flagship specs at a lower price – is coming soon.
Samsung Galaxy devices come with numerous customizable applications that offer a multitude of options, enabling users to easily customize the UI elements and participate in the Galaxy ecosystem. Among the many modules available, the Lockstar module offers the ability to customize the lock screen.
With the lockstar module, users get some additional options to customize the lock screen and AOD of the Galaxy smartphone and tablet. Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide the AOD-related customization feature for the Galaxy S24 yet, but now there is good news for the users as the company has confirmed to provide some additional settings for managing the Always on Display screen.
According to the information, some Galaxy S24 users in Korea have made numerous complaints and demanded some customizability of AOD through Lockstar. However, it is unclear if these changes will be implemented through the next application update or in a different way. However, the Good Lock support team has confirmed that they are actively working on this issue.
If we talk about the AOD customization option available on other devices, you can change the color and style of the clock and other elements, and you can also manage the brightness of the AOD manually.

The Crafted Black, Peach, and White choices are expected to be available in specific regions or in limited quantities. Notably, the lavender/purple color, which has been a staple on the Z Flips, is missing. Jumping on the Galaxy Z Fold 6, so the color options are still similar as previously reported. But here’s the catchable fact: Dark Blue will be marketed as Navy and Silver as Silver Shadow. A new light pink has also appeared, along with low-volume colors like black and white.
