Samsung is preparing to introduce a new foldable device named the ‘Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra,’ according to a report from Android Headlines. This would mark Samsung’s inaugural “Ultra” Fold model, following the precedent set by the Galaxy S20 series.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra -
The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, identified by the model number SM-F958N, is speculated to be the “Fold 6 Ultra” due to Samsung's consistent use of a model number ending in “8” for Ultra phones. This naming convention aligns with past Ultra models such as the S23 Ultra (SM-S918x) and S24 Ultra (SM-S928x). Unlike previous foldable devices, this one bears a model number ending in “8,” indicating its status as an “Ultra” version.
While the precise launch date remains undisclosed with the internal model number “Q6A,” it is anticipated to debut at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July. However, indications suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra may primarily be available in Korea, hinted by the model number SM-F958N, which typically corresponds to the Korean market. Nevertheless, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 (SM-F956N) will also be offered there.
Samsung might introduce two models in the Fold category: the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, although details differentiating them are scarce. Notably, the Z Fold 6 Ultra is set to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, marking Samsung’s inaugural “Ultra” device in the Fold series.
Samsung’s Next Galaxy Unpacked Event -
Regarding Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event, sources from SamMobile suggest it’s slated for July 10, potentially in Paris, given the city’s hosting of the 2024 Summer Olympics, of which Samsung is a significant sponsor. Official invites for the event are projected to be dispatched in late May or early June, although the date could be subject to change.
At the event, Samsung is anticipated to unveil its inaugural smart ring, the Galaxy Ring, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Z Fold 6 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip 6. Additionally, the launch of the Galaxy Watch 7 and at least one new pair of wireless earbuds is expected.
