According to a new leak from tipster chunvn8888 on Twitter/X, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 could inherit design elements from the Galaxy S24 Ultra as well as make some unique upgrades

The most notable claim is that the new generation fold will ditch the previous aluminum and stainless steel body and switch to titanium While this may mean a price increase for the Galaxy Z Fold 5, it makes some sense for Samsung to use the same new materials for its flagship foldable as its non-foldable flagship

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is $100 more expensive at launch than the Galaxy S23 Ultra, most likely due in part to the cost of the titanium body

Titanium will blend well with the sharpened corners design, another feature of the Galaxy S Ultra device that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is expected to receive

Sadly, we are heartbroken to hear that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will not have a built-in S Pen like the Galaxy S24 Ultra Samsung will likely continue to sell the S Pen Fold Edition as a separate accessory, but the best tool for use with the Z Fold's large inner display will cost extra and must be stored separately from the phone or, at best, in a case designed specifically for the foldable It is unfortunate that the Z Fold 6 is not available in a case designed specifically for foldable phones [The Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be wider and have a larger outer display than the Galaxy Z Fold 5 The second leaker, Yogesh Brar, in a reply to chunvn888's original post, stated that the aspect ratios of the Z Fold 6's outer and inner displays are respectively 20:9 and 108:1, and claims that the outer screen will be larger, from 62 inches to 64 inches [However, this was not much of an issue until rival devices like the OnePlus Open and Google Pixel Fold came along and showed that there are better options It is good to see that Samsung may be learning from its opponents for the Galaxy Z Fold 6, rather than remaining stubbornly skinny with its existing style

The Galaxy Z Fold 6 may be wider, but it may also be thinner, at 11 mm thick when closed, compared to the 134 mm thickness of the Galaxy Z Fold 5

The Z Fold 5 will also be lighter and will likely be available in three different color options, but chunvn888 has no specifics on any of these

Looking under the hood, the leaked improvements look delicious Samsung's new Foldable should run on the Snapdragon 8 generation 3 chipset, a logical upgrade from the 8 generation 2 chip used in the Galaxy Z Fold 5 The battery capacity is improved from the 4,400mAh of the Galaxy Z Fold 5, resulting in battery life is expected to improve

According to chunvn888 and Brar, the 50MP main camera/ultra-wide 12MP/3x telephoto 10MP rear camera combination on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is expected to remain the same However, the under-display camera on the inner display may also be improved Hopefully this camera will be better suited for selfies, rather than blurry images that can only be used for video calls

The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is expected to arrive in July or August of this year, and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is assumed to join it A new, less expensive foldable or even a tri-fold foldable may also be on the way, but there is not much certainty of that If you want to stay up-to-date on the latest rumors, be sure to check our Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 hubs regularly between now and summer, and when they become available, see if either could be one of the best folding phones you can buy Check
