The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6, unveiled last week, were available for pre-order in multiple markets, including South Korea, where they received fewer pre-bookings than their predecessors. The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 raked in 910,000 pre-orders until Thursday in Samsung's home country, which, though impressive, are less than 1.02 million pre-bookings for last year's Fold5 and Flip5. That's a decline of about 11 percent. The Galaxy Z Fold6 and the Galaxy Z Fold5 On the upside, Samsung's target audience - people in their 20s and 30s - made up more than...

Earlier this year, reports suggested there are three foldable devices in the works: B6, Q6 and Q6a. The first two are the Z Flip6 and Z Fold6. As for “Q6a”, it was variously speculated that it is the Galaxy Z Fold FE, Z Fold Slim or Z Fold Ultra. Work on this model continues – GalaxyClub has found evidence that devs are building firmware for a phone with model number SM-F958N. For reference, the Z Fold6 is SM-F956. The last digit indicates the class of the device (e.g. the S24+ is SM-S926, the S24 Ultra is SM-S928) and the final letter indicates the region. “N” being for Korea, while...

Samsung released the One UI 6.1 update for the Galaxy S22 series in South Korea earlier this month, which was halted in a day due to a bug. The rollout was resumed with a new build recently in Korea and has now expanded to other regions.

The update comes with firmware version S90xBXXU9EXE1 but doesn't come with the May 2024 Android security patch. If you live in Europe and haven't received the One UI 6.1 update on your S22/S22+/S22...

Over there it's called Galaxy Jump 3, but it should be the same phone that we'll (hopefully) soon see internationally as the M44 - the "M44" part of the SM-M446KZKAKTC model number gives it away as an M44 under another name. The design is exactly what you'd expect from a Samsung mid-ranger in late 2023, with three camera circle-islands on the back and a circular LED flash to the right in between the topmost and the middle cameras. The screen has a V or U shaped notch (we still...
