In short:
- Samsung might be launching a premium foldable phone called the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra in October 2024.
- This device is expected to have a larger screen, better specs, and a limited release in South Korea and China.
- Details are scarce, but it could lack S Pen support and boast a titanium frame.
Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event this year unveiled the Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6, their latest foldable offerings. However, whispers of a third foldable, codenamed “Q6a” or “Q6A,” have been swirling. Initial speculation ranged from a slimmer Z Fold 6 to a fancier “Ultra” version. Later reports even hinted at project cancellation. But recent developments suggest the Z Fold 6 Ultra might be alive and kicking, albeit with a limited release.
Leaked information indicates software testing for the “SM-F958N” model, but solely for the Korean market with a production run estimated between a modest 400,000 to 500,000 units. This points towards a premium device with restricted availability.
While a Z Fold 6 Ultra launch seemed like maybe, recent reports suggest a more concrete October 2024 release in China and South Korea, according to AllAboutSamsung. The phone’s South Korean name remains under wraps, but China might see it dubbed the “W25.”
Previous rumors suggest a slimmer profile with a larger display compared to the Z Fold 6, potentially housing upgraded specifications. A titanium frame is a possibility, but S Pen support seems unlikely. While some reports hint at a bigger battery and improved cameras, specifics are yet to be revealed.
If true, the Z Fold 6 Ultra’s launch might coincide with the unveiling of the Galaxy Tab S10. Whispers of Samsung’s first XR headset potentially joining the party in October further fuel speculation of a packed event.
