Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim is closer to getting introduced following certification in South Korea

The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim/Ultra will reportedly be the thinnest foldable produced to date by Samsung. How thin is it? Compared to the 12.1mm thickness of the regular Galaxy Z Fold 6, the new model will be 10mm thick (all measurements are taken with the foldable closed). To make the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim/Ultra thinner, Samsung removed the silo for the S Pen and the .3mm digitizer layer on the screen for the accessory.

An unnamed person working in the wireless industry said, “Samsung is doing everything they can to make it (the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim/Ultra) even 0.1 millimeters thinner…The global smartphone market is shifting its focus to how thin the next product can be.” To this end, the company probably worked with its own subsidiaries such as Samsung Displays and Samsung Electro-Mechaniscs to source thinner foldable displays and thinner camera components.

Interestingly, even though the phone will be thinner, it might come with a larger 8-inch internal screen compared to the 7.6-inch internal display on the regular Galaxy Z Fold 6. The cover screen is also expected to get a small increase to 6.5 inches from the regular model’s 6.3-inch external display. Changes are also rumored to be coming to the cameras. The Under Display camera is reportedly getting a small bump to 5MP from the 4MP sensor used on the Galaxy Z Fold 6. No changes are expected to take place to the 10MP front-facing camera and the 12MP ultra-wide camera.

While the regular model is available in colors like Navy, Silver Shadow, Pink, White and Black, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim/Ultra will supposedly be available in Black only. As for pricing, the new unit is said to carry a price tag equivalent to $2,100 based on current foreign exchange rates. That compares to the $1,899 price tag on the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
