The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 has recently received FCC approval in the U.S., sparking anticipation among tech enthusiasts. However, a closer examination of the FCC document reveals a notable omission: the absence of Wi-Fi 7 certification. This discovery, initially reported by SamMobile, also applies to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Wi-Fi 7, the latest generation of Wi-Fi technology, promises faster data speeds, lower latency, and increased capacity compared to its predecessors. These advancements enable smoother video streaming, enhanced gaming, and improved AR/VR experiences.
Despite the apparent setback, the lack of Wi-Fi 7 support on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 may not be as significant as it seems. For Wi-Fi 7 to function effectively, both the mobile device and the connected router must support the technology. Unless you have recently purchased a cutting-edge router, it is unlikely that your home network is currently equipped with Wi-Fi 7 capability.
In a separate development, IceUniverse has shared an image that purportedly compares the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 6. The comparison suggests that the new phone will be wider and feature sharper screen corners than its predecessor.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Watch 7 on July 10 at a Samsung Unpacked event in Paris. The new products are likely to be released worldwide shortly after the announcement. Rumors indicate that two models of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be available, including a more expensive Ultra version. The standard model is expected to retain its position as the more affordable option in the high-end smartphone series.
