The Z Fold 5 came out in August, and now there are talks about the next one. Let’s see what we already know about the Z Fold 6. Normally, Z Fold phones come out in late summer. Samsung usually tells us about them in July, and they become available in August. We think this will happen again.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 starts at $1,800 if you want 256GB of memory. If Samsung keeps that choice, we guess the Z Fold 6 will start at the same price (and the Fold 5 might cost less). If you want more storage, you might have to pay more money.
The price could be higher if there are new features, but we believe $1,800 is the least it could be. When the Z Fold 6 is officially out, Samsung will tell us when we can start pre-ordering it. Come back here for more details when that happens.
Right now, we only have rumors. The Z Fold 5 wasn’t very different from the one before, but people say Samsung might make some changes with the 6. The biggest change might be with how it looks, including the size of the screen. Someone who often shares early info, called Revegnus on X (used to be Twitter), says the screen will be bigger, but the phone will be lighter.
Another small but nice change might happen with the Fold 6: it might resist dust. T.M. Roh, the head of Samsung’s mobile part, said they know people want dust resistance, and they are trying hard to make it happen. However, because foldable phones have many moving parts, it’s not easy to make them dustproof.
We don’t know for sure, but some things might stay the same. Revegnus says the Fold 5’s camera will stick around for now, and new camera stuff will come with the Fold 7.
Here are the details for the Fold 6’s back cameras (we don’t know if the front ones will change, but rumors say no):
– 50MP wide
– 12MP ultra-wide
– 10MP telephoto with 3x zoom
– 30X space zoom
Like dust resistance, another thing that might come with the Fold 6 is a special pen you can use with it, called an S Pen. Having a pen with a phone means the phone can’t be too thin, and the battery might not last as long because you have to charge both the phone and the pen. Samsung isn’t saying no to having a pen, but they haven’t figured out the best way to do it yet.
