The highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim has been making waves in the tech community, and new details about its specifications and potential release date have surfaced. According to a recent report from GalaxyClub, this upcoming foldable smartphone will feature a 10MP selfie camera on the cover screen and a 12MP ultrawide camera on the rear, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold6.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim Leaks
While the camera setup might seem identical to the Galaxy Z Fold6, the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim could have some key differences. The Fold6 is equipped with a 4MP under-display selfie camera, but the Fold6 Slim—codenamed Q6A with the model designation SM-F958N—may sport a slightly upgraded 5MP under-display camera. This improvement could enhance the overall photography experience, making it a noteworthy feature for potential buyers.
Although Samsung has yet to officially announce the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim, The Chosun Daily reports that the device could launch in South Korea as early as September 25. The smartphone is expected to be available in a sleek black color and may be priced at around KRW 2.8 million, which is approximately $2,090 USD.
One of the standout features of the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim is its thickness. Rumors suggest that the device will be just 10mm thick, making it 2.1mm thinner than its predecessor, the Fold6. Despite its slimmer profile, the Fold6 Slim is expected to come with larger screens. The cover display will reportedly measure 6.5 inches diagonally, compared to the 6.3-inch display on the Fold6. The folding display will also see an increase, boasting an 8-inch diagonal, up from 7.6 inches on the Fold6.
Changes for a Slimmer Profile
To achieve this thinner design, Samsung has made some sacrifices. Notably, the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim will not support the S Pen. Samsung has removed the 0.3mm film required for stylus functionality, which contributes to the device’s reduced thickness. Additionally, the company has collaborated with Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Samsung Display to slim down other components, such as the display panel and camera module.
Pokdepinion: While it may lack S Pen support, its sleek form factor and larger screens could appeal to users looking for a premium, compact foldable device. While I would ideally want both, I would choose the bigger screen if I could only pick one since that would be what I want in a foldable of this nature.
