With the Galaxy S lineup now outshipping its predecessors, Samsung has lofty ambitions for its 2024 foldables – the Z Flip6 and the Galaxy Z Fold6.<\/p>\n

All the rumors suggest we’re in for the biggest revamp of the lineup yet and the book-style foldable will be the star. So here’s what we know so far.<\/p>\n

It will launch in July<\/h3>\n

Samsung will launch the Galaxy Z Fold6 alongside the Galaxy Z Flip6, the new Galaxy Watch7 series, and the novel Galaxy Ring on July 10<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This continues the trend with Samsung’s past Galaxy foldable releases – the Galaxy Z Fold4 arrived in late August, while the Z Fold5 came in early August.<\/p>\n

The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6<\/h3>\n

The Galaxy Z Fold6 is shaping up as a small upgrade. It looks nearly identical to its predecessor, although it could adjust the screen aspect ratios a bit and could be thinner and lighter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We expect a bump to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy and we expect this to be the chipset on all Galaxy Z Fold6’s across the globe. There could also be an increase in battery capacity.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Z Fold6 will likely use the exact same camera setup<\/a> as the Galaxy Z Fold5. That means a 50 MP 1\/1.56″ ISOCELL GN3 wide-angle camera will be joined by 10 MP 1\/3.94″ 3x zoom and 12 MP 1\/3.06″ ultrawide shooters. A 10 MP 1\/3″ punch hole selfie, and a 16MP 1\/3″ under-display selfie camera complete the list.<\/p>\n

A Galaxy Z Fold6 Ultra isn’t coming just yet<\/h3>\n

For the first time, Samsung will split the Galaxy Z Fold series in two. It wasn’t clear for a time whether we’re getting a regular Fold and a cheaper Fold, or a Fold and a Fold Ultra but it’s seemingly clear now that a higher-end Galaxy Z Fold6 Ultra is coming<\/a>, however, it’s more likely to arrive alongside the Galaxy S25 in early 2025.<\/p>\n

The most credible reports suggest a thinner and lighter Galaxy Z Fold6 Ultra with a better camera setup. It’s likely the Ultra will get the 200MP ISOCELL HP2<\/a> camera from the Galaxy S24 Ultra but no word on the rest of the camera setup.<\/p>\n

\"Samsung<\/p>\n

The other rumors<\/a> point to a thinner and lighter Galaxy Z Fold6 Ultra. It will reportedly weigh 239g, which is considerably lower than the Fold5’s 253g. Additionally the Ultra may use Titanium<\/a>, like in the Galaxy S24 Ultra.<\/p>\n

The Ultra Fold will be just 5.6mm thick when unfolded and 12.1mm when folded – down from 6.1mm and 13.4mm on the current Fold5.<\/p>\n

A cheaper Galaxy Z Fold6 isn’t coming<\/h3>\n

For a while, we heard rumors of a Galaxy Z Fold6 FE that will be substantially cheaper than the ongoing Z Fold5. This isn’t likely.<\/p>\n

New design with a thinner frame and a wider cover display<\/h3>\n

Samsung marginally tweaks the design of the Galaxy Z Fold each year, but it’s too conservative and has fallen behind the competition lately. Last year, we got a flat-closing phone with an ever-so-slight widening of the aspect ratio.<\/p>\n

This year, we’re hearing of more substantial changes. We already mentioned the thinner frame, expected to allow for an 11mm folded<\/a> Galaxy Z Fold6.<\/p>\n

Early renders<\/a> suggested a device nearly identical to the Galaxy Z Fold5 but with flatter, sharper sides.<\/p>\n

Those renders came with dimensions too – 153.5 x 132.5 x 6.1 mm. That’s a few mm off the other, more recent report of a 5.6mm unfolded thickness<\/a>. CAD renders back the 6.1mm profile, but it could be a difference in models – Z Fold6 vs Z Fold6 Ultra.<\/p>\n

\"Samsung<\/p>\n

The same report says the cover display will become a bit more conventional – it will be a 6.3″ 22:9 unit, compared to the Fold5’s 6.2″ 23.1:9 one. Expect the inner display to retain the 7.6″ diagonal.<\/p>\n
