Good news, Galaxy Z Flip 6 will not be underpowered after all

Earlier today, you may have heard about the unusual Galaxy Z Flip 6 benchmark revealing an unexpected hardware configuration, including an outdated chip. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is expected to sport the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, but a new Geekbench entry suggested that the phone would be powered by the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 instead.

After that news started spreading, we dug a bit deeper for more concrete information. And it turns out that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip doesn't exist, after all. The benchmark entry was fabricated.

Fake Geekbench entries used to be more common a couple of years ago, but it's been a while since we came across any. Nevertheless, the recent Galaxy Z Flip 6 benchmark entry is as fake as can be.

A Japanese Galaxy S23 Ultra in disguise

Digging deeper into the recent Geekbench entry reveals that the device used to fake the benchmark was a Galaxy S23 Ultra. More specifically, it was a Japanese Galaxy S23 Ultra, which sports model number SCG20. Japanese model numbers are more unusual than international ones, which may have helped hide the true identity of this device at a glance.

Galaxy Z Flip 6 fake benchmark

We can also reconfirm that the older Geekbench entry, which revealed that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 should be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, appears to be legitimate.

All in all, the Z Flip 6 with an older Snapdragon chip never existed. It's not a test model, a Fan Edition variant, or a downgrade in any way. It simply doesn't exist, and the Geekbench entry was faked using a Galaxy S23 Ultra. So, Galaxy Z Flip fans need not worry. The upcoming model will not be underpowered.

Samsung should unveil the next-gen Galaxy Z Flip 6 at Unpacked later this summer. As we exclusively revealed earlier this year, the event should take place on July 10.
