Description:
Our first look at a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 dummy unit includes a big crease and a small hinge.

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

One of the ongoing issues with foldable phones is that they have visible creases where the screen folds, and based on the latest leak it doesnt seem like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is going to solve that problem.

Leaked photos of a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 dummy unit have been shared on X
by @ta__tech (via Phone Arena ), who apparently found them on a South Korean forum, and the crease is very visible. Whether it has even been shrunk is unclear, but its definitely still present.

Thats the bad news, but there are some good things suggested in these images too, with this Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 dummy unit having a barely visible hinge, so that when its folded you could almost mistake this for a non-foldable phone. Found in a Korean Forum, apparently this is the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The squared edges make a word of difference and the slightly shorter but wider inner screen makes it look different to Fold 5. pic.twitter.com/v8LPICeRRn May 29, 2024 See more

The cover screen is also wider here than on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 , which makes it look more like a conventional smartphone screen, and should make it more pleasant to interact with.

In making the cover screen wider, Samsung has also made the large foldable screen wider and shorter (when held in portrait orientation), and the corners of the phone are less curvy, giving the device a more angular, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra -like look. Those last two points arent necessarily good or bad, so much as just changes. Apparently a Fold 6 Dummy Unit. Found on Korean Forum.

In any case, wed take these photos with a pinch of salt, but aside from the visible crease they line up with leaked Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 renders . Dummy units tend to be accurate, assuming that they're the genuine article,
as theyre used by accessory makers to design cases before a phone launches.

On the other hand, @ta__tech doesnt have a history of leaks, and in any case they say they dont know how accurate this is.

So theres still some hope that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 wont have much of
a crease, but we wouldnt count on it. The phone is rumored to be landing on July 10, so we might find out for sure then. Were also likely to see the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 , the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 , and other devices at the Z Fold 6s launch, so its set to be a packed event.
