Samsung appears to be preparing to launch several new Galaxy products next month at its anticipated Galaxy Unpacked event. The Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Ring are expected to be unveiled alongside several new wearables and earbuds. Over the past few months, there have been multiple rumors about another model in the book-style foldable series — the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim. Now, a tipster has leaked the purported launch timeline for this model, which is also expected to launch in China as the Samsung Galaxy W25.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim Launch Timeline Tipped
Tipster Ice Universe on X (formerly Twitter) claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will be launched in October, a few months after the expected launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. According to the leaker, the handset will be released in China under the Galaxy W25 moniker.
The post on X doesn’t specify whether this timeline applies to the Chinese market only or includes other global regions. The upcoming foldable phone is said to be lighter, thinner, and larger than the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6. It could feature a titanium frame but might lack S Pen support.
Last month, Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) Co-Founder and CEO Ross Young suggested that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will be larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. He hinted that it would be launched in the fourth quarter (October-December) of this year and is likely to be priced similarly to the standard model.
