Samsung appears to be expanding its foldable phone lineup beyond the recent Galaxy Z Fold 6, if emerging rumors hold true. Speculation has been swirling about a more streamlined, possibly more upscale foldable device, codenamed “Q6A.” A recent report from GalaxyClub provides some initial insights into its camera features and a potential release timeline.
Camera Features and Specifications
According to the leak, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim (model number SM-F958N) will sport a 10MP front camera on its cover screen, consistent with previous models. While the details for the main and telephoto cameras remain undisclosed, it's expected to come with a 12MP ultrawide camera.
Perhaps more noteworthy is the anticipated upgrade to the under-display camera (UPC) technology. The Slim model is rumored to feature a 5MP UPC, a step up from the standard Z Fold 6’s 4MP sensor. This enhancement is likely to improve the quality of selfies taken when the device is open, though the difference may not be substantial.
Design and Availability
Previous leaks suggest that the Z Fold 6 Slim will be 10mm thick when folded, featuring a 6.5-inch cover display and an 8-inch main foldable screen. It might also be Samsung’s first foldable phone to incorporate titanium in its build.
However, there is a catch. Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which is available worldwide, the Z Fold 6 Slim might see a more restricted release. Current rumors suggest it may only launch in Korea and possibly China, with no mentions of availability in European or North American markets.
Launch Details and Pricing
A report from The Chosun Daily indicates that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will debut in Korea on September 25, aligning with the launch of the Z Fold 6 Slim just a month away. The device is expected to be priced at around 2.8 million won (roughly $2,100), making it $200 more expensive than the base model of the Z Fold 6.
