Benchmark confirms Qualcomm chip for Galaxy Z Fold 6 everywhere
Galaxy Z Fold 6: Same Qualcomm Chip Globally?
Recent benchmarks have confirmed that both the international and U.S. versions of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will feature the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. This aligns with earlier rumors suggesting Samsung would use a single chip strategy for its new models.
The international version, identified by model number SM-F956B, displayed lower benchmark scores compared to the U.S. version, SM-F956U. However, these variations in scores are typical for pre-release devices and are not indicative of the final performance of the Qualcomm chip.
What operating system does the international Galaxy Z Fold 6 run?
The international Galaxy Z Fold 6 runs Android 14.
How does the hardware configuration of the international Galaxy Z Fold 6 compare to the US variant?
The international Galaxy Z Fold 6, identified by model number SM-F956B, shares the same hardware configuration as the US variant, model number SM-F956U. Both versions are equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, feature the same "pineapple" motherboard and "walt" governor, and come with 12GB of RAM. This uniformity in hardware across different regional versions indicates that Samsung has adopted a consistent one-chip strategy for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 globally1. However, despite the identical hardware, the international model has shown lower benchmark scores compared to the US version, a discrepancy attributed to the typical variances seen in pre-release device testing rather than a fundamental difference in the hardware capabilities1.
