Foldable smartphones space is no longer a niche segment and almost every smartphone brand out there has a foldable device under its name. However, the first brand to bring the revolution in the segment was Samsung, and it is now readying it’s sixth generation of the book-style foldable, called the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Here’s everything you’d want to know about the device so you can set your expectations right.
Galaxy Z Fold 6: Leaked Design
Even though the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is seemingly months away, the design of the handset has leaked in high quality renders and from all angles. These renders suggest that Samsung is giving its Fold device the much needed redesign to align itself with the competition which is currently offering a better and more comfortable to hold form factor with their respective foldables.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 will adopt a Galaxy S24 Ultra-like boxy design with sharper corners and flat edges, compared to rounded edges in the previous models. The rear camera setup remains the same in terms of looks, but with the new design, the exterior screen will now have a more modern look that would also be similar to how slab-style phones look.
The outer display will measure 6.2-inches while the inner panel will measure at around 7.6-inches. This means that while the display size of Z Fold 6 remains the same as its predecessor, it will indeed have a refreshed aspect ratio.
