The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is thinner and lighter than the earlier mannequin from the Korean telephone maker, however Samsung wasn’t fairly in a position to match final yr’s Honor Magic V2. That foldable featured a 9.9mm profile, whereas the Fold 6 solely shrank to 12.1mm.
Issues are getting even worse for Samsung, with Honor bad-mouthing the Fold each likelihood it obtained this week. The Chinese language vendor simply unveiled the Magic V3 in Europe, which is now the world’s slimmest foldable telephone. At 9.2mm, the Magic V3 is even thinner than its predecessor.
Samsung is predicted to reply with a slim model of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 this month. That telephone appeared in numerous leaks just lately, although we didn’t see design renders or pictures displaying the handset’s purported design till this week. If the picture you’re about to see beneath is correct, we simply obtained our first take a look at Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE (Particular Version).
The identify is sensible, contemplating that Samsung has used SE designators for just a few years now. The Galaxy S SE variants are an instance of that. Nevertheless, whereas SE telephones are often cheaper than the primary flagships, the ultra-thin Fold 6 SE is perhaps dearer than the primary Fold 6 mannequin. That’s what some rumors say.
As for the picture beneath that Android Headlines obtained, there’s no telling whether or not it’s correct. Nevertheless, it’s customary for all of Samsung’s flagship telephones to leak earlier than launch. There’s no motive the Fold 6 SE ought to be a better-kept secret.
The telephone appears to be like rather a lot just like the Galaxy Z Fold 6. It has flat edges and virtually rectangular corners. No person would blame you should you thought this was an everyday Fold 6. There’s no approach to measure the thickness of the foldable to substantiate it is a Fold 6 SE.
However should you’ve used the common Fold 6, you may spot the variations instantly. To begin with, the rear digital camera module has a extra rectangular design. I believe this has one thing to do with the truth that the digital camera additionally protrudes greater than the Fold 6’s module. Then once more, the form may simply be a design selection.
Nevertheless, the protrusion is indicative of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE’s decreased thickness. The digital camera protrusion grows if the foldable turns into thinner. The Magic V3 proves that with its huge digital camera bump on the again.
How thick will the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE be? Rumors say we’re a ten.6mm profile, which is considerably thinner than the Fold 6. However it’s nonetheless removed from the Honor Magic V3’s 9.2mm profile.
Lastly, the brushed metallic look of the rear glass panel is one other clue that the telephone within the picture above isn’t the Galaxy Z Fold 6. It’s one thing else. Right here’s what the Fold 6’s rear glass panel appears to be like like:
Samsung ought to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE someday within the coming weeks. If earlier leaks are correct, it’ll go on sale by late September. Sadly, leaks additionally say the Fold 6 will initially be obtainable solely in China and Korea. It’s unclear whether or not the telephone will launch in worldwide markets.
