Some of the purported specs for Samsung’s budget Galaxy Z Fold 6 indicate the foldable might be more exciting than you’d think.
Samsung might be patting itself on the back for being the inventor of foldable phones every chance it gets, but I’ve often criticized the Z Fold and Z Flip. For all the talk about making foldables mainstream, Samsung has failed to deliver meaningful upgrades at the same rate as its top competitors.
Moreover, Samsung failed to cut the prices of new Fold and Flip models despite essentially playing it safe when it comes to big design changes.
But things might finally change this year. Samsung seems ready to take bigger risks, both when it comes to design and prices. That’s what the leaks suggest, at least. There’s a budget-friendly Galaxy Z Fold 6 in the making that might launch around the same time the iPhone 16 series comes out. The more affordable Fold 6 would feature an amazing price, possibly selling for under $1,000 in Korea.
A newer leak from a well-known insider details some of the budget Galaxy Z Fold 6’s specs. And it’ll give you a reason to get excited about the cheaper foldable.
Samsung fans who are on top of Galaxy leaks must be more than familiar with Ice Universe. He has been a source of steady mobile leaks with a big focus on Samsung for years.
The budget Fold 6’s specs come from a series of tweets from Ice Universe, as you’ll see below.

The leaker claims the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will weigh just 239g, which puts it on par with the OnePlus Open Fold-type foldable.
