Samsung has been very conservative with its foldable cellphone upgrades lately, and based mostly on an enormous new leak it appears that evidently may proceed with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
SmartPrix in collaboration with @OnLeaks (a leaker with an excellent observe document) has printed renders supposedly displaying the Galaxy Z Fold 6 – they usually’re not what we’d name inspiring.
The general design is so much like that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, however with a extra angular, boxy look, due to flat sides and fewer curvy corners. Whether or not that’s an excellent or dangerous change will rely in your private style, nevertheless it actually would not be the “main type issue change” that leaker @Tech_Reve has beforehand mentioned to count on.

There could also be a slight type issue change, although, as this newest leak contains dimensions of 153.5 x 132.5 x 6.1mm when unfolded, in comparison with 154.9 x 129.9 x 6.1mm for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. That’s a negligible distinction, however it will make the Z Fold 6 barely shorter and wider.
That could possibly be to accommodate a brand new, wider facet ratio on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6’s cowl display screen, which is one thing we’ve heard earlier than, and which might be fascinating, as a whole lot of customers suppose the Z Fold 5’s cowl display screen is a bit too slim. However we wouldn’t suppose that such a small distinction in dimensions may make a lot distinction to the facet ratio.
The dimensions of the duvet display screen can be apparently the identical as earlier than, at 6.2 inches, in distinction to an earlier leak saying to count on a 6.4-inch cowl display screen on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
We’d additionally beforehand heard that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 may be slimmer than the Z Fold 5, however in response to this newest leak they’re equivalent in thickness when unfolded. There may nonetheless be variations when the telephones are folded shut, however we wouldn’t rely on it for the reason that Z Fold 5 already folds flat.

Seen all of it earlier than
Most of the different specs and particulars proven and listed below are the identical as on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 too. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is proven right here with a punch-hole selfie digicam on the duvet display screen, an under-display digicam on the primary display screen, a triple-lens digicam on the again, and no slot for an S Pen stylus.
It additionally apparently has a 7.6-inch foldable display screen with a 120Hz refresh price, similar to its predecessor, although it would supposedly get brighter, with a peak brightness of two,600 nits, which might see it match the Samsung Galaxy S24 line.
The cameras are mentioned to be the identical as earlier than too, which means a 50MP predominant digicam, a 12MP ultra-wide one, and a 10MP telephoto one providing 3x optical zoom, in addition to a 10MP punch-hole digicam and a 4MP under-display one.
The battery measurement and charging speeds are additionally mentioned to match final 12 months’s mannequin, at 4,400mAh and 25W, slightly than the 4,600mAh battery that was elsewhere rumored for the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Lastly, this leak means that the duvet display screen might be protected by Corning Gorilla Armor, matching the Samsung Galaxy S24 Extremely, and making it more durable than the duvet display screen on the Z Fold 5.
However apart from an anticipated improve in energy these all sound like small enhancements, and with high-profile rivals just like the Google Pixel Fold 2 and the OnePlus Open 2 additionally anticipated this 12 months, which may not be sufficient.
In fact, we’d take all of this with a pinch of salt, however @OnLeaks is without doubt one of the most dependable leakers within the enterprise, so we suspect this explicit leak is at the very least largely correct. We’ll doubtless discover out for positive in late July, as that’s when the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will land in response to this leak, and that’s in keeping with one other latest Galaxy Z Fold 6 launch date leak.
