The report states that the image is not a render of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6, but a modified image of the current Galaxy Z Fold 5 model. But this image helps prove that, if true, it would make a huge difference in appearance. It’s worth noting that the purported foldable has also previously been tipped to feature a slimmer design.

At 11mm thick, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will reportedly be the Korean tech giant’s thinnest foldable smartphone yet. The report adds that the company may also use a titanium frame similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra to achieve the size change without affecting the structural integrity of the model. It is worth noting that the Galaxy S24 Ultra is 8.6 mm thick, which is thinner than the 8.9 mm Galaxy S23 Ultra with an aluminum chassis.

In other news, a recent leak claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 may feature the same main camera as the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The latter features a quad rear camera unit with a 200-megapixel primary sensor. It also has a 12-megapixel sensor with an ultra-wide-angle lens, a 50-megapixel telephoto shooter, and a 10-megapixel camera.

Samsung is expected to equip the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with a larger display than its predecessor, which featured a 7.6-inch main display and a 6.2-inch cover. The company may also launch a more affordable foldable phone model alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, which may be called the Samsung Galaxy Z FE.
