New technical leaks revealed the features of the next generation of Samsung foldable phones, specifically the Galaxy Z Fold 9 and Z Fold 9 Ultra, in a move aimed at enhancing the South Korean company’s competitiveness in the smart phone market.
According to a report published by the “Geeky Gadgets” technical website, “Samsung” is focusing on developing innovative technologies for the “S Pen” electronic pen and increasing the efficiency of fast charging. The leaks include providing the Z Fold 9 Ultra model with a 200-megapixel main camera supported by strong optical zoom capabilities.
In terms of electronic pen innovations, the company is studying technologies that allow the pen to be operated without the need for a custom and traditional sensor layer inside the screen panel, which may enable users to use the pen on an external screen for the first time. This step, if achieved, will contribute to overcoming previous design restrictions represented by increasing the thickness of the device, which paves the way for presenting a thinner and more flexible design that meets the aspirations of digital professionals and artists.
Regarding performance and battery, the leaks indicate the integration of fast wired charging with a capacity of up to 60 watts, and Samsung aims to achieve a thickness of only 3.9 mm when the phone is opened, and 7.9 mm when folded.
The device is expected to include a 6.5-inch external screen and a 7.6-inch foldable internal screen. The two screens will adopt “Dynamic AMOLED 2X” technology with a maximum brightness exceeding 3000 nits, and a variable refresh rate between 1 and 120 Hz, with support for the “HDR10+” standard. The company is also working to reduce the protrusion of the foldable screen and add an anti-reflective layer.
The leaks also indicate that the two phones are equipped with a sixth-generation “Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme” processor, 12 GB of random access memory (RAM), in addition to internal storage options ranging from 256 GB to 1 TB.
