With the next Unpacked already a few months away, leaks about the Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 continue to pick up steam. While it’s speculated that an Ultra foldable model is in tow, the details that have emerged today sheds more light into the standard model. And by the looks of it, it seems the device is bringing more manageable size than the Galaxy Z Fold 5 (review).
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is thinner and lighter
Over on X (formerly Twitter), reliable leaker Ice Universe has shared some key specs and feature of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Starting with the weight, the upcoming foldable is said to tip the scale at 239 grams, which will put it on par with the OnePlus Open (review) and 14 grams lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 5 at 253 grams.
In its depth, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is measured with 12.1 mm thickness in folded state and 5.6 mm when it’s unfolded. For comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 has a thickness of 13.4 mm and 6.1 mm, respectively. The difference should give the Galaxy Z Fold 6 noticeable thinness than its predecessor while also making it as thin as the Google Pixel Fold (review).
Wider displays on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
The tipster detailed that the new Samsung foldable handset will feature wider screen estates both on the cover and inner displays. Accordingly, the outside panel is measured 6.3-inch wide in 22:9 ratio while the main folding has a 7.6-inch screen size in 7:6 ratio.

These new ratios should result into the Galaxy Z Fold 6 having a profile closer to a square compared to the Fold 5’s elongated form with 23.1:9 ratio on its cover display. Even better, there’s a shot of an alleged molding of the device showing a front section that is comparable to the Galaxy S24 Ultra we tested.
Elsewhere, the leaker stated the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will feature 4400 mAh battery capacity along with a 25-watt charging speed, which are both unchanged from its predecessor.
It also gives weight to the speculation that a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra does exist. However, available details are said to be scarce with only rumors pointing that this model might feature titanium frame and better display types than the vanilla.
Samsung is believed to unveil the foldable phone in July, which should include the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Watch 7. Likewise, which of these upcoming devices are you looking forward most? Do you think there will be an Ultra model of the Galaxy Z Fold 6? Let’s discuss it in the comments.
