Galaxy Z Fold 6 to be Samsung’s thinnest foldable yet
It’s not exactly a secret that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is not a slim phone. Its predecessors weren’t either. That is kind of a problem these days, as other companies have considerably slimmer book-style foldables. Well, according to a new report, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be the company’s thinnest foldable yet, and by quite a margin.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 looks set to become Samsung’s thinnest foldable yet
According to Rjey, an X user and YouTuber, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be 11mm thick. He even provided nice renders to compare this thickness to the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is 13.4mm thick, by the way.
This is the phone’s thickness when folded, of course. If this ends up being true, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be thinner than the OnePlus Open, which is 11.7mm thick when folded, and it feels thin compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
The HONOR Magic V2 will still lead the pack, however. That device is either 9.9mm or 10.1mm thick when folded, depending on the variant. The Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 will also remain slightly thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with 10.9mm thickness.
Do note that Rjey is not exactly a tipster, so take this information with a grain of salt. It would be great to see a thinner ‘Fold’ device from Samsung, that’s for sure. Samsung is playing catchup at this point.
Let’s hope that the crease will be less noticeable too
What we also want to see is a less noticeable crease. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 finally folds flat, like its competitors, but the crease is still too noticeable, both when you look at it, and to the touch. That’s not the issue the OnePlus Open and HONOR Magic V2 have, though.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 will become official later this year, most likely in August. It will launch alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 6, while the Galaxy Ring could also become official during that event.
