According to a new report, Samsung is pushing to build a new foldable that’s drastically thinner than anything else.
Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 are solid foldables, but when you look at the competition, it quickly becomes clear that Samsung is lagging behind. According to a new report, though, Samsung is pushing for an “extra-slim” foldable that’s just as thin as a regular smartphone.
The Galaxy Z Fold series has never been particularly impressive when it comes to thickness. The Fold 6 is the pinnacle of the lineup at 12.1mm thick, down from 16.8mm on the Galaxy Z Fold 2, the thickest device in the series.
KED Global reports that Samsung’s TM Roh is tasking the company’s engineers with developing a super-thing Galaxy Z Fold device that’s “similar to the bar-type Galaxy S24’s thickness of 7.7mm” while also being lighter than the current Fold 6 which weighs in at 239g.
