- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim receives certification in South Korea.
- The slimmer version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 could debut as early as September 25th.
- Rumored to be the thinnest foldable in Samsung's lineup, possibly launching under a different name in China.
Samsung is preparing to launch a new foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim, which has been in the rumor mill for quite some time. This highly anticipated device has just cleared one big hurdle as it is rumored to get certification in South Korea, indicating that its launch could be much nearer than expected.
The Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim getting closer to launch
In a market where Samsung is further innovating foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim might appeal to customers with its slimmed-down design and even more budget-friendly pricing. The Z Fold 6 Slim gets certified in South Korea, the final run toward its official release.
The device was spotted with the model number SM-F958N, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s model number, SM-F956N. This gives the impression that the Z Fold 6 Slim will be its sibling but more slimmed down and thin.
The latest reports from South Korea now suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim could also be launched as soon as September 25th. Even more on this, there is speculation that Samsung will launch this device in China as the Galaxy W25 and let it battle other foldable coming from Huawei and Honor. However, it is not known whether this device will be launched in the US or other global markets.
What to Expect from the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim?
As the name goes, the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim will offer a thinner profile compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 6. According to Samsung, it will be the thinnest foldable smartphone it has ever made. Some rumors have it that it might be as thin as 10mm when folded—way thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s 12.1mm thickness. Still, it won’t be as razor-thin as the Honor Magic V3, another foldable competition.
It is said that Samsung is allegedly planning to release such a slimmed-down design by removing the S Pen compartment and the digitizer film, which enables functionality for the S Pen.
This allows the Z Fold 6 Slim to diverge from its predecessors and foldable currently in the market. Details surfacing right now are still rooted in rumor, so best to keep those grains of salt handy until something official breaks.
