Samsung Galaxy Flip 6: rumors of an outdated processor turned out to be false

In light of recent rumors that the new Samsung Galaxy Flip 6 will be powered by an outdated Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, our colleagues at SamMobile decided to do their own investigation. It turned out that the information about the old processor was based on a fake test result on Geekbench.

Here’s what we know

According to SamMobile, the device used to falsify the test results was a Galaxy S23 Ultra model released in Japan. This model has the unusual model number SCG20, which may have helped hide its true identity.

Additionally, SamMobile confirmed that a previous Geekbench result indicating that the Galaxy Flip 6 will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor is authentic. Therefore, there has never been a Flip 6 model with an outdated Snapdragon processor. It is not a test model, a Fan Edition variant or a downgrade.

Galaxy Flip fans don’t have to worry: the next model won’t be weaker than its predecessors. Samsung is expected to reveal the next-generation Galaxy Flip 6 at an Unpacked event this summer. As we previously reported, the event is scheduled for July 10th.
