So we finally have the first look at the
Galaxy Z Fold 6. Forget everything you thought you knew about the phone because,
turns out, the leaks were way off. What's up guys Sal here so Onleaks just
spilled the beans on the Z Fold 6 renders revealing a totally new design! No imagination,
patent, or concept stuff here – these renders are straight from Samsung's official CAD
schematics sent to case makers in advance. Now, check this out, the first thing that
catches your eye is the shape. The
Z Fold 6 rocks a silhouette that brings back vibes from
the S24 Ultra or the OG Galaxy Note. It's like they took the S24 Ultra and stretched it into
this almost square look. And you know what? I've always been a fan of those boxier phones,
so it's awesome to see the Galaxy Note's design vibe carried over to the Z Fold.
Alright, now let's talk about where those leaks missed the mark. First off, the thickness. A
few days back, the word was out that the Z Fold 6 would be Samsung's slimmest fold
able phone
ever. Well, that didn't pan out. The official dimensions reveal that when opened, the phone is
6.1mm thick, exactly like the Z Fold 5. Although Onleaks didn't mention the folded thickness,
but that rumored 11mm thickness? Totally off. It's probably rocking the same thickness as the Z
Fold 5, or maybe just a smidge thinner at best. Next, Ross Young, the CEO of display supply
chain consultants, said a while ago that Samsung was bumping up the display sizes for
both the Z Fold 6 an
d the Z Flip 6. Well, turns out that info was a swing and a miss because the
display sizes, both on the outer and inner parts, are staying put – exactly the same.
Then there was this rumor that Samsung had finally made the Z Fold 6 wider. Now this
rumor isn't entirely off the mark. Samsung did make the Z Fold 6 a tad wider, but it's not a
game-changer. To break it down, when unfolded, the Z Fold 6 is 2.6mm wider than the Z Fold
5, translating to just 1.3mm when folded. It's not a massive cha
nge by any means. I bet
most folks wouldn't even notice the difference. The Z Fold 6 seems to be a bit shorter by
a similar, though less dramatic, margin. The rumors however were on point when it comes to
the cameras – they're sticking with the same setup as the Z Fold 5. And oh, quick heads up, there's
no slot for the S Pen on this one either. So overall the biggest change the Z
Fold 6 brings to the table is the new squarish design. Having those square edges
is actually a smart move since
it slightly boosts the screen real estate – those rounded
corners won't be cutting off any UI elements. By the way, Samsung's not just stopping at the Z
Fold 6. They're rolling out a more budget-friendly version, and it's not just a wild rumor. We've
got some solid evidence that it's the real deal, in which case, that device could offer the
expected altered front display aspect ratio. Anyway, Samsung has officially revealed
the Galaxy Ring. Click here to check out its looks and features, a

Sweet! It's the same phone as it's been for years. Looks like my S22 Ultra lives to fight another year.
The good old Note phones were amazing. This seems like a win for those of us who thought so too.
"I guess i'll wait until z fold 12"
Haven't upgraded because I've been waiting for a decent change. Still rocking the Z Fold 4 and I guess I'm sticking with it.
Samsung is really making a mistake by not changing the display wider and making the device thinner. Other companies'foldables are catching up and even making better looking devices devices
The exact same phone four years in a row is insane. Still rocking a Fold3, and was waiting for the outer screen to get bigger and spen support. But not happening is BAFFLING. First time thinking about just getting another phone besides Samsung for the first time in like 13 years like the Honor folding phone. Thinner, wider, and pen support on the outside. But no water/dust resistance and I think no wireless charging but that doesn't matter when it charges insanely fast. The only thing is I'm so used to Samsung software and Good Lock is clutch. Plus Support for 7 years is a win. I'm sure the Honor will have support for maybe 3. Damn you, Samsung!
What a missed opportunity. So, what exactly is the upgrade....square corners and the SD8G3? What about a titanium frame?
After the Z Fold 3 Samsung has been pulling Apple updates
I love this design... Would love to see a built in s pen 😢
I have the fold 4 but not buying another one until the s pen lives in the body
well, now i don't have to worry about upgrading my fold 5, lol. I hope the fold 7 will have some actual improvements, mainly in the camera.
Awesome content keep it up as always brother
I love the design but still no s-pen slot😢😢. Maybe i'll stay at my S22 Ultra
Bought F5 a month ago.is it worth it to upgrade to 6 ?...been f5 for mainly for work and gaming, and it doesn't disappoint.
How are they consistently missing the mark by so far.... Had this been mate slightly wider so the outside screen was usable and with an s pen it would of been an absolute game changer. Why not listen to the people who actually purchase their phones.
This is why I wait for you since you one of the most accurate ones out there when I saw this first look I noticed it looks almost like Z Fold 5 that's why I wait until OnLeaks shows it what is going to look like
I think being a little wider and shorter will be a drastic change in the aspect ratio. That was the biggest change that the Fold series needed. I don't really care about thinner. These phones are already too thin, and I want a bigger battery & s-pen support. I gotta Fold 4 so I'm 50/50 on upgrading.
do we know if its goin to have qi2 yet?
I like the distinctive design of the Z Fold with S24 Ultra vibes. Not a fan of the camer bump design or the same old sensors though.
Holding out hope that this is the rumored fan edition and they are going to introduce an Ultra version soon!!
