According to recent reports, Samsung has been experimenting with various aspect ratios for the external screen of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Speculations have suggested that the forthcoming book-style foldable device will feature a broader screen with sharp corners. A leaked image of the device displayed a somewhat boxier design with distinct sharp corners. Renowned tipster Ice Universe has now revealed a comparison image showcasing the screen protectors of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and its predecessor, the Z Fold 5.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 to Feature a Wider Screen with Sharp Corners
Samsung's book-style foldable smartphones have traditionally sported a very tall outer display. Recent competitors in the foldable market, such as Google and Oppo, have introduced wider external displays, facilitating easier use of the external screen for basic tasks. While Samsung has made incremental adjustments to the aspect ratio over time, the external screen has remained notably narrower than conventional bar phones. However, this trend may shift with the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The comparison image shared by Ice Universe highlights the variance in aspect ratio and corner radius between the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and its predecessor. The forthcoming book-style foldable is expected to feature an external display that measures 60.2mm in width, compared to the 57.4mm width of the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Although not on par with typical bar phones, using the device in its folded state should be more convenient this time around.
Enhanced Aspect Ratio and Corner Radius
In addition to the wider aspect ratio, the early screen protector of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 showcases a sharper corner radius. While not as sharp as the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the corners are notably more defined.
With the 6th generation Galaxy foldables set to launch in approximately two months, the design should be nearing completion. The revelation of the screen protector for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 hints at a significantly broader screen compared to its predecessor, promising an improved user experience.
