Samsung is gearing up for a Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, 2024, where the company is expected to unveil its next-generation foldable smartphones, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. Alongside these, the Galaxy Watch 7 and new Galaxy Buds are also anticipated. Rumors suggest that Samsung has another foldable device in the works, named the Galaxy Z Fold Slim. The tipster Ice Universe has provided more details about this upcoming smartphone.
As reported by Ice Universe, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will be a more lightweight and thinner variant of the Z Fold 6, but it will not support the SPen. This new device will be introduced in China under the name Samsung W25. The tipster also mentions that the device is set to be released in October, although it remains uncertain whether it will be named the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim or Samsung W25.
Samsung W24 & W24 Flip
For those unfamiliar, the Samsung W series smartphones are exclusive to China. Samsung partners with China Telecom to launch these high-end rebranded versions of its latest Galaxy Z series devices. The proceeds from the sales of the Samsung W series are directed towards charitable causes. Last year, Samsung introduced the Samsung W24 and W24 Flip, which were essentially rebranded versions of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5, featuring a luxurious design.
Regarding the Galaxy Fold 6 Slim, it was previously identified with model numbers SM-F958N and SM-W9025, known as the “Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra.” The former model is intended for the South Korean market, while the latter is designated for the Chinese market. It is currently unknown if Samsung plans to launch this smartphone outside of these two regions.
