Description:
A model number for a phone thats likely the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra has been spotted, but it points to very limited availability.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Will there be a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra ? Or what about a Samsung
Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE ? These are perhaps the biggest questions surrounding Samsungs upcoming foldable phones, as weve seen leaks about both a super-premium Ultra model and a more affordable FE version, and theres still uncertainty over whether one, both, or neither will actually launch.

The latest leak again points towards a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra being in the works, as GalaxyClub (via NotebookCheck ) claims that Samsung is working on a device with the model number SM-F958.

Now, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 has the model number SM-F946, and the last digit on Samsungs Fold model numbers is always a 6 so the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will most likely be the SM-F956.

So what about SM-F958? Well, the number 8 is used at the end of model numbers for Samsungs Ultra phones, with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for example having the model number SM-928.

So, with SM-F958 looking like a Z Fold model number, but with an 8 at the
end, the logical assumption is that this is the rumored Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra. Coming to a store not so near you

The bad news, however, is that you might not be able to buy this phone and
we dont just mean because its sure to be out of most peoples reach
price-wise.

You see, the complete model number spotted by GalaxyClub is actually
SM-F958N, with that N at the end denoting that its intended for South Korea. The site goes so far as to say that this South Korean model is the only version that appears to be under development.

Now, its entirely possible that GalaxyClubs information is wrong or incomplete, so even if its right about the model numbers there could be variants planned for the rest of the world too. But its not impossible that Samsung would limit this phone to its home country, especially while testing the waters with the first generation of a foldable Ultra device.

We should also add that none of this precludes the possibility of a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold FE launching as well. Its entirely possible that Samsung is working on both, and perhaps the more affordable FE will also be more widely available.

Leaks and past form suggest that the standard Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be announced in late July, alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 , so we might also see the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra and/or FE then too although weve heard elsewhere that if there is a Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE, it might land later , in September or October. Whatever, well be sure to update you on all the news
and leaks in the meantime. You might also like Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 : latest news, rumors, and everything we know so far Best Samsung phones : top Galaxy handsets ranked Best foldable phones : the top folding smartphones right now
