Summary
It is expected that Samsung would debut the Galaxy Z Fold 6 as their next major product. After the Galaxy S24 was released in January to update Samsung’s conventional flagship phone line, it is probable that we will still be a few months away from the foldables of the firm receiving the same treatment.
To our good fortune, we have a number of rumors that we may investigate in the meanwhile. After a few years of looks and features that are quite similar to one another, Samsung could use some things to shake things up with the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Read on to learn about the possible explanations for why it is acting in that manner.
Latest news on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (As of the 24th of March)
Towards the end of this year, Samsung may release its first foldable device that incorporates titanium.
The introduction of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 might occur earlier this year owing to the Olympics, potentially in July if manufacturing plans are to be believed from what has been reported.
It’s possible that you’ll be able to purchase the Galaxy Z Fold 6 in either silver, light pink, or dark blue.
It is possible that Samsung is working on a different variant, which is said to be a ‘Ultra’ edition of the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Price and release date information for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
Although there has been a little decrease in the price of the Galaxy Z Fold series since the initial model, which was priced at $1,980, we would not anticipate anything particularly remarkable this year.
In spite of the fact that production processes have become more cost-effective, the technology continues to be pricey. Competing foldable tablet-style devices, such as Google’s Pixel Fold, do not appear to be in a hurry to reduce their initial retail prices. Approximately between $1,699 and $1,799 appears to be a reasonable estimate.
In spite of this, there has been persistent speculation that a more affordable variant is now in the process of being developed, just as Samsung’s “fan edition” smartphones, such as the Galaxy S23 FE. A hypothetical Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE with reduced specifications and no compatibility for the S Pen might potentially bring the price down even more. For now, we will have to wait and see.
The release date is something that can be discussed with a better degree of assurance. The last three Galaxy Z Fold smartphones have all been introduced in the month of August, however it is possible that we will hear about them a little bit sooner. The Z Fold 5 was debuted at the Galaxy Unpacked event in late July, and it was scheduled to be released on August 11th. A rumor, on the other hand, suggests that the launch might take place earlier, potentially on July 10, in order to avoid competing with the summer Olympic games. Furthermore, given that Samsung is rumored to have begun manufacture of the components for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 earlier than expected, this appears to be more feasible.
The design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
It was in April of last year that the leaker Revegnus made the assertion that there will be a “major form factor change beginning with the Fold 6.” This was before the Z Fold 5 had even been officially released.
Although it is evident that Samsung is working on patents to have a dockable S Pen, similar to the one that is present on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, renderings of the phone do not show it, which means that it may have to wait until a later edition of the device becomes available.
There is a possibility that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy S24 Ultra share a similarity in that both devices feature titanium sides. This would result in the next Z Fold having a more premium appearance, as well as a minor reduction in weight and an improvement in durability; nevertheless, it is possible that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 would be more expensive as a consequence of this.
For the most part, however, the design appears to be rather comparable to that of earlier Galaxy Z Fold versions. Unlike the triple-folding phone that has been speculated to be released by Samsung this year this year itself.
A leak that occurred not so long ago has provided us with a number of high-definition renderings of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, in addition to a video that is 360 degrees. It would suggest that it would be more compact than the Galaxy Z Fold 5 that came before it, but it will feature a screen that is somewhat larger overall. Aside from that, it seems like the future iteration of the Galaxy Z Fold will have a design that is fairly comparable to that of Samsung’s other smartphones and tablets.
There is a possibility that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be available in three primary color options: light pink, dark blue, and silver on the outside. When compared to prior Z Folds, which have often offered a wider range of colors to pick from, these appear to be quite a little more enjoyable options.
The display of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
With that being stated, we could have a foldable that is more sturdy. There is evidence that Samsung has registered the phrase “Ironflex,” which describes a “foldable OLED display panel,” as a trademark under its name. It remains to be seen what this means in reality, and it is possible that this is merely an exercise in branding, but it would be very much appreciated if foldables could be made less susceptible to the bumps and dings that commonly occur in regular life.
The Z Fold 6 is rumored to be undergoing a significant overhaul, which may involve a change in the way it is handled by adopting a squarish aspect ratio on par with the OnePlus Open, which features an inside screen. Because of this, the cover screen of previous Z Folds, which was quite small, will be expanded out a little bit further.
A recent rumor says that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be receiving a bit of a design upgrade, as if that weren’t enough to make things interesting. As stated by Ice Universe on Twitter/X, the phone will have a design that is more expansive and will have more pointed edges, which will bring it closer to a real 90-degree angle. The outside display of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 may also be expanding to 6.4 inches, which is an increase from its current size of 6.2 inches.
Cameras on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 phone
Regarding the cameras, there are no indications that there will be any big improvements, at least with regard to the hardware. Revegnus made a post on X in October stating that Samsung will continue to employ the GN3 sensor for the Fold 6, with a switch being introduced in the 2025 phone.
In the meanwhile, Ice Universe stated that the camera “is definitely the same as Fold4 and Fold5—that much is certain.”
PERFORMANCE OF THE SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD 6 Device
When it comes to CPUs, a new generation of foldables might be considered a new generation. And it would be incredible if that didn’t suggest that the Z Fold 6 will employ the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy that is used on the S24 line of smartphones. One source has said that this will be the case; however, similar to the S24, there is a possibility that this may be replaced by the Exynos 2400 processor in places that are not located in North America. However, this did not occur with any of the Z Fold models that came before it.
Currently, the Z Fold 5 comes with either 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of internal storage and twelve gigabytes of random access memory (RAM). In light of the fact that the S24 Ultra did not make any progress on either of them, it is quite improbable that the Z Fold 6 will too.
On the other hand, given that the Samsung Galaxy S24 has already embraced artificial intelligence and that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is expected to feature the same chipset, it would be very unexpected if the foldable device did not have the same tricks up its wing. The ability to translate phone conversations on the fly, summarize papers, and alter photographs with ease are just some of the things that are included in this capability.
The Ultra Model of the Samsung Galaxy Z (Fold) 6
There is also the possibility that Samsung is working on another folding device, which is a more expensive variant that is said to be a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra. In a post on X, the source Max Jambor disclosed three model names that are associated with the Z series. These designations are as follows: “Q6” refers to the Z Fold 6, “B6” refers to the Z Flip 6, and a “Q6a” model.
The latter might be an Ultra form of the foldable, which would be an interesting addition especially considering that Samsung could take some of the distinctive characteristics of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, such as a titanium frame, the S Pen, and possibly a bigger camera with a resolution of 200 megapixels. There is currently a lack of information on this Ultra model; nevertheless, we believe that worries regarding the cost of the product would be a significant issue in determining whether or not it is ever produced.
The outlook of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
Despite the fact that it is still early in the game for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, everything we have heard so far seems to be a set of changes that are solid, even if they are incremental.
Whether or if that is sufficient to convince customers to purchase one over the previous generation, which will shortly be dropped in price, is another thing. The significance of the artificial intelligence tricks in day-to-day use is a crucial factor, as is the question of whether Samsung has made any important advancements that we have not yet heard about. There is a lot that may change in a period of six months.
