The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is coming later this year, and this is everything we know about the device thus far.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is one of the most anticipated smartphones of the year, that much is for sure. The competition has started releasing some truly compelling foldables, and Samsung is kind of a in a catcup mode, at least as far as the hardware is concerned. There are now thinner and lighter foldables out there, with less noticeable creases, and some of them arguably have even more compelling software. Samsung has to make a considerable step forward in order to attract consumers once again. The company has been making rather small iterations of its ‘Galaxy Fold’ devices for years now, so… it’s time. In this article we’ll go over what you can expect the Galaxy Z Fold 6 to bring to the table.
This article will be regularly updated with new information on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (this is a preview article) — both official teasers and credible leaks, rumors, and insider claims — as it becomes available in the run-up to the release of the upcoming Android smartphone. The last update was made on April 23, 2024.When will the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 be released?
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is expected to arrive in July. Based on the latest report, it is coming in early July, actually, which is a bit surprising. July 10 has been mentioned as the launch date (several times), as that’s a Wednesday, and Samsung has a tendency to do Unpacked events on Wednesdays. Last year’s event took place on July 26, when the Galaxy Z Fold 5 launched, so why the change? Well, it’s allegedly due to the Olympics, which are starting on July 26. Samsung moved up its second Unpacked event of the year last year, as it usually launches ‘Fold’ and ‘Flip’ devices in August. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is expected to launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 6, and the Galaxy Ring too. The company likely won’t confirm the exact launch date until July.What models are coming?
We may see a rather considerable change this year. Samsung is actually rumored to announce two Galaxy Z Fold 6 models, not one. A well-known tipster, Roland Quandt, suggested that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra will be coming. He’s not sure about the name, though, the ‘Ultra’ naming is just a guess. He’s also unclear on how the ‘Ultra’ model will differentiate compared to the regular unit. Their internal codenames are the ‘Q6’ and ‘Q6A’, with the latter being the more powerful model.
The tipster did indicate some possible differences between the regular and ‘Ultra’ models. He pointed at different display sizes, different camera setup, possibly a larger battery inside the ‘Ultra, and even an optional stylus support. Those are just some wild guesses on his part, though, he’s still unsure. If there really are two models that are coming, we’ll hear more about that in the coming weeks/months.How much will the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 cost?
We didn’t hear much about the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s launch price. If there are indeed two models that are coming, then we know even less than we thought.
