Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, but a rumor has surfaced suggesting another foldable phone from the company could be released before the year ends. This news comes with a significant caveat. According to reliable leaker Max Jambor, Samsung is reportedly planning to launch another foldable phone, potentially dubbed the “Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra” or “Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim.” This new phone might be announced around the same time as Samsung’s latest tablets, likely in October. However, the catch is that this new phone might only be available in South Korea and China.
There is no additional information about this potential phone or how it will differ from the recently announced models. Some sources, like 9to5Google, speculate that the limited release might be due to each country’s restrictive sales channels, but nothing has been confirmed.
Earlier this year, rumors suggested that Samsung planned to introduce two different Galaxy Z Fold 6 models in 2024, including one possibly called the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, which might have featured a larger display than previous Galaxy Z Fold versions. However, that didn’t materialize. Instead, we received one Galaxy Z Fold 6, which officially launches next week. This new phone boasts several upgrades compared to last year’s model, the Galaxy Z Fold 5. It features a slightly larger cover display, a lighter body, and a newer chipset – the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. The phone also comes in new colors. Despite these upgrades, the phone is $100 more expensive than its predecessor, starting at $1,900 before trade-ins and potential discounts.
