Galaxy Z Fold 6: the new ultra-thin model announced by Samsung next week

In addition to the Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra, another smartphone has been at the forefront of rumors for several weeks: the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition. With this new folding, Samsung intends to catch up on various aspects, whose formatin order to respond to increasingly intense competition in this market.

This Thursday, October 17, Samsung finally announced in video an event dedicated to the announcement of this variant. On its South Korean YouTube channel, the manufacturer actually explains that it has chosen October 21 to present a new smartphone.

Like what Steve Jobs did to show the finesse of the first Apple MacBook Airthe Asian firm shows images of the smartphone coming out of a simple envelope. We thus return to the big novelty expected with this Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition, which is its format.

Previously nicknamed Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim by leakers, this version would have the advantage of being much thinner than the original model. The thickness would more precisely increase from 12.2 mm to 10.6 mm once closed.

Samsung would thus catch up with the competition, notably that of Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold (10.9 mm thick) and OnePlus Open (11.7mm). It is still a long way from the 9.2 mm thinness of the Honor Magic V3.

In addition to this new feature, previous information leaks also mention a less significant fold, but also larger screens: 6.5 inches for the external panel and 8 inches for the internal one. A 200 Mpx main sensor could also appear, like what the latest generations of Galaxy S Ultra offer.

Be careful, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition of Samsung would not be planned for international, but only the two markets of South Korea and China. We still hope that these changes will arrive on the next generations planned for France, starting with the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
