Samsung’s pet project for a better version of Galaxy Z Fold 6 took a sharp turn for an imminent launch yesterday. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim or Z Fold 6 Ultra has shown itself on a South Korean certification website. So, no one can question or deny its existence anymore.
91Mobiles is the source that found the model number SM-F958N on Korea’s Safety certification platform. This model has an internal codename Q6A that leaks mentioned earlier. It’s the Z Fold 6 Slim/Ultra, and the evidence suggests it’s headed for Korea and probably China after that.
It’s pushing close to debut. That much is undeniable. Analysts are discussing 25th September as its launch date, but we remain skeptical of all schedule-related rumors until we see an official confirmation. There’s one more rumor about it that has us intrigued, though.
They say that in China, Samsung's latest slim foldable phone might get Galaxy W25 as the title. That seems an odd convention for titles, coming from Samsung when we know them to be very conservative. So let’s stick with Z Fold 6 Slim/Ultra for now. As the name would have you, it’s a slimmer folding phone.
Current Z Fold 6 is 12.1mm thick when folded. Reports say the new Slim option is miraculously 10mm when clapped shut. As for how they achieve this, they may have expelled the digitizer layer from under the screen. So there’s a chance you won’t see S pen support.
Other rumors advise that Fold 6 Slim could be larger with an 8” AMOLED rather than their standard 7.6”. And the outer screen will also go from 6.3 to 6.5”. But all this will probably come at an absurdly high cost of $2100, about $200 more than the Z Fold 6.
