Samsung recently announced its new generation of foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, there are speculations about a new Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim which is expected to be launched in limited global markets. Leaks about a “Slim” version of the Galaxy Fold have just started to surface. While we are waiting on some official announcement from Samsung, a new report claims that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will not be as “slim” as we expected it to be, knowing what Samsung has planned.

A Korean publication named The Elec revealed that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will only provide a 5 percent size reduction in comparison to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 which is not an incremental reduction. The report claimed that the “slim” version of the smartphone will likely measure 11.5mm when folded, whereas the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is 12.1mm. However, the  Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim may not be as thin as we expected as there are several other brands which offer even thinner foldable smartphones. 

Not sure which
mobile to buy?

Earlier this year, we reported that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim may not come with the S-pen functionality, therefore, the slimness of the smartphone may be achieved due to the removal of the digitizer. Currently, in the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the S-pen space is reportedly 0.3mm thick. With reduced size, Samsung is expected to include a bigger main display of 8-inch which may give more space for other parts to be attached in the smartphone.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim is expected to be launched in October alongside the  Galaxy Tab S10+. However, for the initial months, the smartphone is expected to be launched only in South Korea and China with a limited production unit to test the popularity of the smartphone. Since the launch timeline is still months away, we can not be certain how Samsung will market the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim, but it will be exciting to see what new the company will bring to the foldable market.
