We are expecting Samsung to unveil three new devices in its upcoming Fold6 series. The lineup is said to include the Galaxy Z Fold6, Fold6 Ultra, and Fold6 FE. Leaks regarding the specifications of the Galaxy Z Fold6 series have already started circulating in the tech sphere.
Samsung's Fold6 FE Strategy
Samsung has been a pioneer in the foldable smartphone market, having introduced some of the earliest foldable devices. However, the company has fallen behind in terms of design innovation compared to Chinese smartphone manufacturers who are producing more compact foldable phones. Samsung has maintained a consistent design philosophy for their foldable devices over the years, resulting in devices that may not be the most ergonomic to hold.
Galaxy Z Fold5 Report
Recent reports from Korean tech media outlet The Elec suggest that users might not find the design of the Galaxy Z Fold6 FE satisfactory. Consequently, there are discussions within Samsung about potentially delaying the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold6 FE. It is anticipated that only the Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 will be showcased at the upcoming Samsung event, with the Galaxy Z Fold6 FE being put off until a later date.
Samsung's Foldable Future
There are speculations that Samsung could be pushing back the release of the Z Fold6 FE to introduce a slimmer foldable device. For instance, the Huawei Mate X3 boasts a thickness of 11.8mm, while the Z Fold5 measures 13.4mm when folded. Given Samsung's track record with device releases, delaying the design of the Z Fold6 FE aligns with their pattern of introducing "FE" devices in subsequent launches.
