Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim (or Ultra) is coming alongside the Galaxy S25 series
We are less than two months away from the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 launch event, but we are getting a spicy leak on the future Z Fold6 Slim or Ultra - Samsung still hasn't decided on a final marketing name.
According to Ross Young on X, Samsung is planning to launch a slimmer Z Fold6 device alongside the Galaxy S25 series in early 2025. As the name implies, the foldable will be thinner than the original, but it will have a larger display as well.
Reportedly, Samsung achieved a thinner design by omitting the digitizer used for the pen input, which in turn means no S Pen support.
The first batch of foldable panels used for the future Z Fold6 Slim/Ultra will arrive at Samsung's fabs in Q4 this year and if everything goes to plan, the handset should be made available in Q1 2025. The estimated price tag is said to be similar to the Z Fold6.
It looks like Samsung is expanding its foldable portfolio rapidly to maintain its edge over competitors by offering a wider range of foldable devices that could appeal to a larger audience. The rumored Galaxy Z Fold6 FE and Z Flip6 FE smartphones are also in the works, targeting a more affordable market niche.
