Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim tipped for October, but there’s bad news
In This Article
Samsung could be targeting an October launch for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim, according to the latest rumours, but it might have a limited roll-out.
There have been murmurings of anadditional Samsung foldablein the air for some time, whether it be a cheaper model or a souped-up Ultra variant. The consensus now seems to have settled on a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim with a skinnier, lighter form factor in a new titanium frame.
Samsung’s recent Unpacked event went by without any mention of such a third model, but According to established Samsung tipster Ice Universe it’s still on track. Taking toWeibo, the leaker recently claimed that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim would be launched in October as part of a separate press conference that would also see the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 tablet series.

Giffgaff is selling refurbished iPhone 12 Mini handsets in ‘Like new’ condition for just £269.
Interestingly, according to a now-deleted post from the same source (as picked out byIT Home), the Slim’s cover screen will feature a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, just like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. This would represent a fundamental shift from Samsung, with its new foldable handling like a regular (ie non-foldable) phone when closed.
All of Samsung’s full-sized foldables to date have had unusually tall and thin displays, though the currentGalaxy Z Fold 6makes minute adjustments to make it feel more ‘normal’ in this configuration. We’ve heard that this Slim model will have a larger 8-inch internal display and a larger 6.5-inch cover screen.
The bad news is that these same sources are claiming the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will be exclusive to China and South Korea.
