New Samsung Leak Reveals Galaxy Z Fold 6 Design Decision

The reported details of the new dimensions of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be welcomed by many. Folding phones have traditionally been the same depth as regular smartphones, but only when unfolded. Close up the device and you have a chunky phone that feels like 2003 called and asked for its brick back.

Since the Galaxy Z Fold 5 launch, foldables from Oppo, OnePlus and Honor have all debuted with different form factors, including user interface-friendly screen ratios and thinner designs. Placed next to the competition, the Z Fold 5 is rather chunky.

 

 

 

 

Thankfully, Samsung looks to be addressing the physical size of the flagship foldable, with the 16mm depth of the Z Fold 5 set to be cut by 25 per cent to 11mm. That would make it the thinnest of any Samsung foldable and thinner than devices from Oppo and Open.

That doesn’t match the 8.6mm depth of the Galaxy S24 Ultra (and, of course, all these measurements handily ignore any camera island jutting out the rear of the phone), but the impact of this change when holding a foldable will be noticeable.

 

 

 

The direct comparison between the first and second generation of Honor Magic foldable, with the second device just 10.1mm, helped the newer device feel ready to meet a regular smartphone audience.
