It should be 11mm thick, thinner than the Fold 5, which is 13.4mm when folded. There is also the possibility of a titanium frame like the Galaxy S24… Change the aspect ratio of the screen
Samsung Electronics’ next-generation foldable phone “Galaxy Z Fold 6”, which will be released in the second half of this year, is expected to be the thinnest Samsung foldable phone ever.
According to IT tipsters on the 22nd, the Fold 6 is expected to be thinner and lighter than its predecessor, the Fold 5. The Fold 5, launched last year, was 13.4mm thick when folded, but it is expected that the Fold 6 will be thinner, coming in at 11mm.
The Fold 5 is the thinnest of Samsung Electronics’ foldable phones, even compared to the Galaxy Flip series released so far. The Fold 6 has once again managed to reduce its weight, breaking a record. However, if you expand the range to other brands, the Honor Magic V2, which is 10.1mm thick when folded, could be thinner than the Fold 6.
The Fold 6 may be thinner than its predecessor, but its durability could be improved. As regards waterproofing, the same IPX8 protection level as the previous model will be maintained, and there is the possibility that the titanium frame applied to the Galaxy S24 will be adopted for the first time.
It is expected that the Fold 6 will not only be thinner, but will also significantly change the width of the screen. The Fold 5’s screen coverage is 6.2 inches, and the Fold 6 is expected to increase that to 6.4 inches.
There are also predictions that the screen ratio could change from the current aspect ratio of 20:9, a rectangular shape, to 1.08:1, which is closer to a square. This is assumed to reflect consumer opinion that the cover screen is too narrow and long when using the folded Fold series.
It is not yet known whether the S Pen will be installed in the Fold series for the first time. Some have said that Samsung Electronics will split the Fold series into a premium model and a cheaper entry-level model and install the S Pen in the premium model, but no clues have been released yet.
