We're getting closer to the release of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. What kind of specs, design, and price are we expecting? Here's everything we know.
As we get deeper into 2024, it’s only a matter of time before Samsung unveils its next round of foldables. This should include the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and clamshell Galaxy Z Flip 6.
That said, it looks like we may see the Galaxy Z Fold 6 a little earlier than August this year. According to a report from SamMobile, the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event will happen in early July 2024. Signs point to the second week of the month, and Galaxy Unpacked events typically occur on Wednesdays, which suggests July 10 as a likely announcement date.
This could mean that we see a lower starting price for the regular Galaxy Z Fold 6, with the Ultra variant possibly starting at the usual $1,800 price point or higher. If that’s the case, we could — theoretically — see the regular Z Fold 6 hit the shelves for $1,600 or even less. Another leak from IceUniverse seems to confirm this. They got their hands on the screen protectors for the Z Fold 6, which shows the outer display is going to be wider, but not by as much as was rumored earlier. We’re likely looking at a 60.2mm outer display, compared with the 57mm wide display on the Fold 5. The corners of the screen protector also look sharper, again resembling the S24 Ultra’s design more than the Fold 5.
This seems to be confirmed by another recent leak from IceUniverse, which revealed the possible dimensions of the Z Fold 6 with an unfolded thickness of 5.6 mm, a folded thickness of 12.1 mm, and a weight of 239 grams. However, IceUniverse contradicts @Onleaks and claims that while the internal screen will be 7.6 inches and have a 7:6 ratio, the external screen will be 6.3 inches and have a 22:9 aspect ratio. That puts the Fold 6 right between the Pixel Fold and the OnePlus Open .
According to the original report by analyst Ross Young, the Z Fold 6 should launch with Dark Blue, Light Pink, and Silver color options. A more recent update from Young suggests that Dark Blue is now called Navy, and Silver will be called Silver Shadow. Finally, the phone will also get Crafted Black and White colorways. That will give buyers a total of five color options for the Z Fold 6 and seven for the Z Flip 6.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip is the latest and greatest for Android phones, and Qualcomm has once again partnered up with Samsung for these chips that are optimized for Galaxy devices. That means they’re slightly overclocked for optimal performance and power efficiency.
