Samsung Electronics America has partnered with actress Sydney Sweeney for a special giveaway of a unique Galaxy Z Flip6 smartphone. The winner will receive a phone featuring exclusive content from Sweeney, a personal voice memo, and a year of Spotify Premium. The contest, open to U.S. residents, requires participants to share why they want to switch to the Galaxy Z Flip6 on X (formerly Twitter) using specific instructions. The giveaway runs until December 17, 2024.
Samsung's One UI 6.1.1 update will bring new features from the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 to older models, including Auto Zoom, Instant Slowmo, Portrait Studio, Sketch to Image, Life Effect, Motion Clipper, Overlay translation, and DNG editing in the Galaxy Photo Editor. These updates will be available across various Galaxy Z Fold, Z Flip, S22, S23, S24, S23 FE, and Galaxy Tab S8 and S9 series devices.
The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold6 is rumored to come in Dark Blue, Light Pink, and Silver, while the Galaxy Z Flip6 will be available in Light Blue, Light Green, Silver, and Yellow. Both models are expected to launch in early July or August, with speculations about the Galaxy Z Fold6 becoming squarer and possibly introducing a Galaxy Z Fold6 Ultra with a 200MP camera and S Pen slot.
Samsung is expected to hold its annual Unpacked event in early to mid July, potentially in Paris, to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Z Fold6, aiming to target the European market before the start of the Paris Olympics. The company is reportedly looking to fill the gap left by Chinese smartphone makers and may not introduce new foldable or rollable form factors this year.
