Despite being Samsung’s most expensive phone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 doesn’t come in very many colors, so once you’ve decided you want to spend a lot on a foldable flagship, you’re quite limited in your choice of colors. So far it seems the same is true for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
While none of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 colors have been confirmed yet, we’ve seen some leaks about the possible options, including one source specifically claiming that there will only be three Galaxy Z Fold 6 colors.
This would be largely in line with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, except there will also be two Samsung.com exclusive colors, bringing the total to five. So we are hopeful that this will happen again this year. But for now, we’ve heard of four possible colors, all of which can be found below.
Dark blue
Our main source of color information on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 so far is Ross Young (a leaker with a decent track record), who listed three shades the phone will apparently be sold in, one of which is dark blue.
We don’t have any images of this, but it may look similar to the blue Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, pictured above, although given the name it may be a bit darker. This is probably a smart shade, but one that will stand out a little more than other smart shades like black. There’s no word yet on whether a color-coordinated frame will also appear.
Light pink
Ross Young also mentioned a light pink shade, which again we don’t have a photo of, and which – so far – also hasn’t shown up as a color choice on existing Galaxy Z Fold devices, meaning this could be a genuinely new option.
That said, we’ve seen Samsung use pink on other phones, including the Galaxy Z Flip 3, which you can see above in a pink shade. So it is possible that the light pink shade of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be similar.
Silver
The last color Ross Young talks about is silver, a stylish, conventional and enduringly popular color, yet it’s one that Samsung hasn’t offered with the Z Fold line since the Phantom Silver Galaxy Z Fold 3, pictured above.
So it’s possible that if the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is offered in silver it will look the same, but either way we’d expect this to be one of the most popular colors.
Phantom Black
The latest rumors come from another source, such as leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 SmartPrix and @OnLeaks (a leaker with a great track record) show the phone in a Phantom Black shade, as you can see above.
It’s not clear if this color is just for illustration or is actually offered, but considering the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is available in five colors, we’d expect more than three for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, so it’s certainly possible.
Black is also an obvious choice as it is such a popular smartphone shade, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is also available. However, if this shade is offered on the Fold 6, it may be a Samsung.com exclusive, as it isn’t among the three shades leaked elsewhere.
Other possible colors
Considering the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is available in five colors, there’s a good chance the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be too, but only four have been leaked so far. So what could the other be?
It’s possible that this phone will adopt some of the colors of the Z Fold 5, including Icy Blue, Phantom Black, Cream, Gray, and Blue. Now there are already rumors about Phantom Black, just like about Dark Blue, so we don’t expect a standard Blue to be offered in addition. It’s likely that gray is also a little too close to the rumored silver shade.
So that leaves Icy Blue and Cream as options, and we’d say Cream is more likely, because while Samsung offered two blues last year, we’re not sure if this is a practice it would get into, and Cream is almost white , which itself is a popular smartphone color.
Of course, there’s a good chance we’ll see a completely different fifth color, or that there won’t be five colors this year. We’ll probably know for sure by the end of July, when the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will reportedly be launched.
