Even though we have a couple more Samsung devices before it's time for the foldable phones to shine, Samsung has started working on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6. This also means that in the coming months leading up to the final launch, you are going to hear a lot about these foldable phones, and there might be some conflicting rumors as well.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 sounds like the Galaxy S24 Ultra but without the good parts
The recent leak has shed some light on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and what it brings to the table. Although I would say it is mostly good news - there are also some returning issues that few people would be okay with. You can look at the specs below:
Galaxy Z Fold6 rumour from my sources
No S Pen slot
Little wider, more of S24 Ultra style sharp edges
Snap 8 Gen 3
4600 mAh
3 cams
Improved udc
Titanium build
Much thinner and lighter (11mm when folded)
3 colour options— Chun Bhai (@chunvn8888) February 21, 2024
As you can see in the specs above, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is sadly not going to have an S Pen slot. It will also be a little wider than its predecessor, with sharp edges carried on from the Galaxy S24 Ultra. You are also going to get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, a small 4,600 mAh cell powering the phone, a better under-display camera, and a titanium build. The source also claims that the phone will be much thinner and lighter with just 11mm when folded, which is as impressive as it gets. The lightweight could be attributed to the fact that the phone is constructed out of titanium. The source also claims that you will get three color options to choose from.
Honestly, I want to say I am surprised, but that is not the case. I always had a feeling that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 would be an altered version of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. While I still wish that the phone would have had a more powerful camera and an S Pen slot, it appears that Samsung is facing some issues making that happen.
Even though it is too early to confirm the specifications, I have a feeling that this is what the final product will be like. The Galaxy Z Fold 6, alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and a low-cost Z Fold 6, is scheduled to come out sometime in July or August later this year. This means that there is going to be a ton of information coming your way in months to come, and of course, we will be giving you all the details that you need.
As disappointing as it might sound, it is safe to say that Samsung is having a hard time getting out of its comfort zone. Sure, we did see some changes with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and there might be some tricks with the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but for the most part, things are not looking that good in the grander scheme of things.
