Speculation continues to swirl around the anticipated release of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, slated for July, with recent reports adding fuel to the fire by hinting at the possible debut of a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra variant alongside the standard model.
The latest leak, sourced from Android Headlines (via Android Police), points to the sighting of a Samsung device bearing the model number SM-F958N, typically indicative of an Ultra edition, akin to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra convention.
Notably, preceding Samsung foldable devices all shared model numbers ending in 6, fostering speculation about the potential introduction of an Ultra variant—namely, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra—joining the lineup. However, the absence of corresponding model numbers for different regions leaves open the possibility that this Ultra iteration might be exclusive to Samsung’s native South Korea market.
Samsung’s adeptness in crafting Ultra-branded devices underscores the likelihood of offering consumers a heightened premium experience, albeit at a premium price point.
Yet, specifics differentiating the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 from its Ultra counterpart remain elusive. Both iterations are purportedly set to integrate Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, according to Android Headlines.
While murmurs of a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra have circulated previously, details have remained scant. Moreover, speculation has swirled around the potential release of a budget-friendly Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE, potentially expanding the handset lineup to three distinct versions.
Recent leaks have also pinpointed July 10 as the anticipated unveiling date for the Z Fold 6, alongside the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. Concurrently, expectations are high for the unveiling of the Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Buds 3, and Galaxy Ring, promising a significant product showcase from Samsung.
