Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 may still be a few months away, but a new leak has revealed more information about the device. Recent reports suggest that the South Korean tech giant may release a premium version of the standard model called the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra this year, but details are unclear. Now a knowledgeable source has revealed the dimensions and possible display aspect ratio of the standard Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 model. Based on this information, the foldable model may experience design changes.
According to a post from Ice Universe on X (formerly Twitter), the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 could be significantly lighter than its predecessor. Last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 weighed 253 grams, compared to this year’s model which weighed 239 grams. For reference, this is the same weight as the OnePlus Open.
Weight isn’t the only area where improvements are expected in foldable smartphones. In another post, the source wrote: “The standard version of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is 5.6mm open and 12.1mm folded and weighs 239g. The internal and external screen resolution of the internal screen is 7.6 inches with an aspect ratio of 7:6 and the external screen is 6.3 inches with an aspect ratio of 22:9.
Out of the box, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 now fits more comfortably in your bag, regardless of whether it’s folded or unfolded, thanks to the smartphone’s reduced thickness compared to its predecessors. The external display is also slightly larger, so the tech giant may be able to offer slimmer bezels. Finally, the tipster also highlights the increased resolution of the external and internal displays.
Additionally, Ice Universe also shared an image with the caption, “This is a prototype of the Galaxy Z Fold 6.” In the photo we see a wooden smartphone that looks very similar to the Z Fold 5 years ago. Not much is currently known about Samsung’s foldable smartphone. However, a report last week suggested that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 could come with a 25W wired charging solution. If that’s true, this year’s foldable phones won’t feature any charging speed improvement over last year’s models.
