We’ve heard several rumors about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, which is expected to launch in July, and the latest to appear supports previous claims that we’ll see a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra alongside the standard model.
This comes from Android Heads (through Android Police): a Samsung phone has been spotted with the model number SM-F958N, and that 8 at the end usually indicates an Ultra edition of a phone (as with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra).
All previous Samsung foldables had model numbers ending in 6, so the idea is that this time we might get an Ultra foldable tablet in addition to the regular model – the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra.
However, there are no related model numbers that would point to different country editions of the phone. There’s a chance that this new Ultra model will only appear in Samsung’s home country of South Korea, while the rest of the world will miss out.
Details to follow
Samsung certainly has experience making phones with the Ultra name, and this would allow the company to offer consumers an even more premium product for those who can afford a premium price.
However, it is not clear what the differences would be between the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Ultra model. According to Android Headlines, both foldable devices will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
We’ve heard rumors about a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra before, but again they were pretty light on details. Moreover, there is talk of a cheaper Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE, so we may even get three versions of this device in the coming months.
A few days ago, a new leak suggested that July 10 is the date the Z Fold 6 will break cover, alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. We might also get the reveals of the Galaxy Watch 7, the Galaxy Buds 3 and the Galaxy Ring at the same time.
