Description:
Samsung is reportedly working on slimmer alternatives to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6.

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

For a while now weve heard whispers of a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra and a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE , but now yet another model has been leaked, possibly dubbed the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim.

This was initially mentioned by Ross Young (a leaker with a good track record), who claimed on X that this Z Fold 6 Slim might have a bigger screen than the standard Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and that as the name suggests it would probably be thinner.

Apparently it wont have a digitizer the layer of plastic or glass in the screen that supports stylus inputs meaning it wont support the S Pen, but thats how Samsung will be able to slim it down, according to Young. Hearing about a Samsung Fold 6 Slim, Q4'24, bigger display than the Fold 6. Price probably similar to the Fold 6. No pen input. May 23, 2024 See more

Interestingly, the price will supposedly be similar to that of the standard Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Young adds that this Slim model will probably ship in early 2025, alongside the Samsung Galaxy S25 . That would be well after the standard Z Fold 6 will probably land, as were expecting that in July, alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 .

Young also says theres a chance that this is the rumored Samsung Galaxy Z
Fold 6 Ultra, and that its eventual name is unconfirmed. Though if it is the Ultra, wed expect a higher price than the base Z Fold 6.

In any case, this isnt the only talk of a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim.
Galaxy Club (via SamMobile ) has claimed that theyve seen evidence of both a Q6 Slim and a B6 Slim. Based on Samsungs typical naming schemes the former would probably be the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim, and the latter would likely be a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Slim. One phone, many names

Oddly, theyve also seen mention of a Q6 Slim Pro, which might therefore
launch as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim Pro. Could Samsung really have all these devices on the way? Well, probably not. Galaxy Club speculates that the Z Fold 6 Slim, the Z Fold 6 Slim Pro, and the Z Fold 6 Ultra are all the same device, and that Samsung simply hasnt settled on the final name yet.

So whether Ultra, Slim, Pro, or Slim Pro, there may well be an additional Z Fold 6 model to choose from one thats thinner and possibly bigger than the standard Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. That said, aside from a reported wait until 2025 for it, weve also previously heard that the Z Fold 6 Ultra might be exclusive to South Korea , so you may not be able to buy it.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Slim is more mysterious, because this is the
first weve heard of any additional Z Flip 6 models. A previous leak did point to a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE , but that would likely be positioned as a cheaper model than this.

But very little is known about this Galaxy Z Flip 6 Slim, and theres every chance this one could also be exclusive to South Korea. Hopefully, well find out more soon.
