Why India may miss out on the rumoured edition of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6

 

Another factor for launching the device in only two regions could be the growing cost of the device. The foldable smartphones are already available at a very hefty price range and introducing another foldable at a higher price range could be a challenge for Samsung. Additionally, the information about the upcoming Z Fold 6 model is slim, therefore, the design, features, and specs are still under the covers. Since the information is based on rumours, we will simply have to wait till October and see what Samsung has in store for the foldable smartphone users.
