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

Earlier this week Samsung gave us an official launch date for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 , and now it appears we may have our first
look at the Samsung-made cases for these foldables revealing more about the design of the handsets.

As the phones are inside the cases, we can see details like the large cover screen on the Z Flip 6, and the triple-lens rear camera on the Z Fold 6. In terms of what's new, the Z Flip 6 now has colored rings around its rear
camera lenses, and the Z Fold 6 has a wider outer display that's more like a regular phone.

It seems the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is getting a new ring-pull case that looks quite cool, and in terms of Z Fold 6 cases, there's a new addition with both a hand grip and a kickstand.

Meanwhile, Samsung has given us a few clues about what we might be able to look forward to when these phones are eventually revealed. In a new press release (via SamMobile ), Samsung highlights how the Fold (and later Z Fold) has gradually got lighter, down from 276 grams in 2019 to 253 grams last
year.

"Samsung has continued to reduce the thickness of the Galaxy Z Fold series so the phone can be carried anytime, anywhere," says the Samsung press release. "Each year, Samsung refines the Galaxy Z Fold series by leveraging precise engineering and meticulous manufacturing processes."

The implication is that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be lighter (and thinner) than any of its predecessors something that's already been rumored, with the weight now apparently down to a mere 239 grams . In a few days,
we'll know for sure.

The Samsung Unpacked event scheduled for Wednesday, July 10 should showcase much more than foldable phones: we're also expecting to see the Galaxy Watch
7 , the Galaxy Watch Ultra , the Galaxy Buds 3 , the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro , and the Galaxy Ring . You might also like Super-slim Galaxy foldables could soon be on the way Z Fold 6 leak hints at sharper corners and thinner bezels What to expect from the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked
