Samsung is unveiling the Galaxy Z Fold6 tomorrow, at its grand Unpacked occasion in Paris. For some time, a Galaxy Z Fold6 Extremely (or Z Fold6 Slim) has additionally been rumored, supposedly arriving with a thinner physique (because the second rumored identify implies).
As we speak a brand new rumor claims the Fold6 Extremely undertaking is on maintain indefinitely. Apart from the thinner construct, the Extremely would additionally include bigger screens than the Fold6.
This doesn’t suggest the Extremely will by no means see the sunshine of day, simply that proper now Samsung does not have a launch deliberate for it in any respect – that’s, in fact, if this rumor is correct.
Honor (with the Magic V3) and Xiaomi (with the Combine Fold 4) will battle it out this month for the title of world’s thinnest foldable smartphone, a title that has thus far been held by the Honor Magic V2 since final 12 months.
Samsung has no horse on this recreation, and the Extremely may have been its approach into the skinny foldable style. However maybe it simply wasn’t skinny sufficient and that is why it was placed on maintain? We’d by no means know.
One factor’s clear – for those who’re in search of {hardware} innovation within the foldable house, it is all coming from Chinese language producers, not Samsung. For years, Samsung loved a cushty lead in foldable market share, however this has not too long ago taken a nostril dive, so maybe some motion is definitely wanted on its half? The Galaxy Z Fold6, with its minor updates right here and there, is certainly not it.
