The slimmer Galaxy Z Fold 6 device doesn’t seem likely to be published next week at Samsung Unpacked, but according to new details, the foldable phone might still be launched before the year is out. The production schedule for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 slim model has been finalized.
The outlet says the device could launch as soon as Q4 2024 and that by the close of the year, 400,000 to 500,000 units would be shipped. The device is also thought to land in limited countries, with China is highly considered as one of these markets.
The Korean website reports that the slimmer form factor of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is going to arrive with the cover display and the main folding display to be larger in size: more specifically, we could be looking at a 6.5-inch smartphone display and an 8-inch folding screen.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is said to have a 6.2 or 6.3-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch folding screen. The HONOR Magic V2 brings a 7.92-inch folding screen and a 6.43-inch smartphone panel. The vivo X Fold 3 Pro offers an 8.03-inch internal screen and a 6.53-inch outer display.
So, we expect the Galaxy Z Fold 6 to be thinner but with equally large screens. The strange thing is that Samsung had prototyped a Z Fold device with an 8-inch folding screen some years ago. The company could proceed with the larger screen now because of the thinner design.
The new device lacks S Pen support, but it mentioned that it will be thinner than the standard Z Fold 6. Some unnamed components will have “higher specifications” compared to the standard Z Fold 6. Previous reports suggest this slimmer Z Fold 6 won’t be as thin as some rival foldable phones. That means those who desiring a thinner, lighter Fold should also focus on upcoming devices like the HONOR Magic V3 and Xiaomi Mix Fold 4.
