There is no case or pre-applied screen protector, which is to be expected at this price range. The M6 is based on the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ platform. It offers a choice of 4GB, 6GB,...

The certification reveals what might be a surprising fact: the Mix Flip will have support for satellite connectivity. The fact that it's going to be running Android is also confirmed, as is its 5G support, but...

The models that will, at least initially, get these AI features, are the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+,...
