Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim launch date is expected to be in September 2024. The foldable smartphone may be called Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition. Samsung after launching the new-gen foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 in July, the company is gearing up for another foldable mobile launch in 2024 . By the end of September, Samsung may announce the slimmer version of Galaxy Z Fold 6, which may also become the most expensive foldable smartphone in the market.

A reputable tipster Evan Blass shared several details about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim. For starters, the company named the smartphone “Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition.” Therefore, we may not get a “Slim” or “Ultra” name attached to the new version of Galaxy Z Fold 6. Additionally, the tipster also revealed the expected dimensions of the smartphone, giving us a glimpse of what the smartphone may look like.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim or Special Edition is expected to feature a 6.5-inch cover display and an 8.0-inch main foldable display. In terms of dimensions, the smartphone is expected to be 10.6mm thick when folded and 4.9mm thin when unfolded. For reference, the newly launched Galaxy Z Fold 6 is 12.1mm thick when folded and 5.6 mm when unfolded, making the Special Edition significantly slimmer.

This significant upgrade over the Galaxy Z Fold 6, may disappoint users. Additionally, it is rumoured that the smartphone’s availability will be limited to South Korea and China, considering it the most expensive Samsung foldable. The other specifications and features of the smartphone are still under the covers, therefore, we have to wait for some time to confirm what Samsung has planned. As of now, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will reportedly debut on September 25, however, the official confirmation is still awaited. Additionally, the smartphone is expected to be announced at a starting price of $2100 which is approximately Rs.1,76,000 in Indian currency. Therefore, the price would be closer to the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

The Korean publication, The Elec has reported that Samsung is in the process of finalizing the backplate metal of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim smartphone. It added that the company is thinking of making the backplate of either stainless steel or titanium.

In case Samsung selects the latter, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim smartphone would become the first foldable to get a titanium backplate by the company. The backplate is a structure that supports the hinge and the foldable panel. Samsung has always made the backplate using carbon fibre and stainless steel for foldable mobile. However, it is believed that it may use titanium for the upcoming foldable. The back area of the smartphone is highly likely to have a glass build like the former Galaxy Fold smartphones.

Samsung is thinking of using titanium for making backplates for a couple of reasons. Making a titanium backplate would give more strength to the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim smartphone and the titanium backplate has a lighter weight than the ones made of aluminium and stainless steel. Apart from this, a titanium backplate is also expected to make the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim smartphone more durable, a quality that is highly anticipated by customers.
