Samsung to launch another foldable based on Galaxy Z Fold 6 in Oct: Report

Reportedly, Samsung will launch either an Ultra or Slim version of its Galaxy Z Fold 6 book-style foldable in October. Initial availability is expected to be limited to South Korea and China only

Samsung is reportedly planning to launch an improved version of its book-style foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, in select regions. According to a report by 9To5Google, the South Korean electronics maker is currently working on the model that is expected to take the “Ultra” or “Slim” tag.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Samsung would launch three foldable smartphones in the Galaxy Z series, including a new Ultra model. The smartphone is anticipated to be thinner than the regular fold model and may get the camera system from the company’ flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone.

According to 9To5Google, Samsung will be launching a new upgraded Galaxy Z Fold smartphone variant in October alongside the next-generation Galaxy S-series tablets. However, the availability of this foldable smartphone, which would likely be named the “Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim” or “Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra”, is expected to be limited to the company’s home country and to the Chinese market. This model is expected to boast thinner construction, a wider display, and an upgraded camera system.
