Top 3 Key Points:
- The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra leak suggests a possible launch in China besides South Korea.
- Full specifications leak reveals minimal upgrades over Galaxy Z Fold 5.
- Despite a lighter design and rumored longer battery life, core specs remain unchanged.
Samsung’s upcoming foldable flagship, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, is generating a buzz. Recent leaks offer a glimpse of its design, complete specifications, and a potential new foldable phone, the Z Fold 6 Ultra. While the design leak and rumored Ultra variant are exciting, the leaked specifications paint a less optimistic picture.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra: A China Debut?
A new report suggests Samsung might not limit the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra to its home turf. While previously thought to be a South Korea exclusive, the Z Fold 6 Ultra could see a launch in China as well. This news comes from AndroidHeadlines, citing a spotted model number (SM-W9025) that doesn’t match the Korean variant. This hints at a different naming scheme for the Chinese market, possibly “W25 Ultra.”
Leaked Specifications: A Familiar Foldable
The excitement surrounding the Z Fold 6 takes a hit with the leaked specifications. According to SmartPrix, the phone offers minimal upgrades compared to its predecessor. Both the cover screen (6.2-inch) and the main foldable display (7.6-inch) retain the same resolution and refresh rate as the Z Fold 5. The processor remains the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, with 12GB of RAM and storage options ranging from 256GB to 1TB.
Disappointingly, the camera setup also mirrors the Z Fold 5: a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide sensor, and a 10MP telephoto lens. Even the battery capacity stays at 4,400mAh.
However, there are a few silver linings. The Z Fold 6 is reportedly lighter and thinner than its predecessor, with a wider cover screen. The leak also suggests a more efficient battery management system, potentially leading to longer battery life despite the same capacity. Additionally, the Z Fold 6 might boast a titanium frame, similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and the ability to record slow-motion videos in 4K resolution at 120fps.
Pricing and Availability
Previous reports hinted at a $100 price hike for the Z Fold 6 in the US. Here’s a breakdown of the expected pricing for the different storage options:
- Galaxy Z Fold 6 (256GB): $1899.99
- Galaxy Z Fold 6 (512GB): $2019.99
- Galaxy Z Fold 6 (1TB): $2259.99
The official unveiling of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, alongside the Z Flip 6, is expected at the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10th. While the Z Fold 6 Ultra might skip the Unpacked stage and have a separate launch date, details remain unclear.
