Rumored Specifications and Features of Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim
Launch Timeline and Design
According to a tweet by DSCC analyst Ross Young, Samsung is preparing a book-style foldable larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim is anticipated to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2023 (October-December) and is expected to be priced similarly to the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The slim variant is rumored to feature a larger display and might lack S Pen support. The absence of the S Pen is likely due to the removal of the digitizer, which would help achieve a slimmer design. Young also speculates that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim and the rumored Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra could be the same device.
FE and Ultra Versions
Samsung is also rumored to be working on Fan Edition (FE) versions of its foldable lineup. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE and Galaxy Z Flip 6 FE are expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor and Exynos 2300 SoC, depending on the market.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, on the other hand, is tipped to feature premium enhancements over the standard model, including possibly a higher-end display and better build quality.
