The rumors on the Internet have been suggesting that Samsung might introduce a new foldable device called the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, and now we can confidently share with you that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra is indeed set to be released. We spotted the upcoming foldable device that Samsung will introduce in our database, and Samsung will unveil the Z Fold 6 Ultra as part of the upcoming Fold 6 series.
Samsung had never introduced an “Ultra” model in the Fold series before. Samsung released its first “Ultra smartphone,” starting with the Galaxy S20 series, and recently unveiled the highly successful S24 Ultra. Samsung will now introduce an Ultra model in the Fold series, which will be named as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra is now officially confirmed, coming
The specs for the Z Fold 6 Ultra aren’t out yet, but there are some rumors circulating about the Z Fold 6. It’s rumored to feature the same camera setup as the Z Fold 5 and Z Fold 4, which is a triple camera setup. This setup includes a 50MP f/1.8 primary camera with OIS, a 10MP 3x f/2.4 telephoto camera with OIS, and a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle camera. Additionally, the Z Fold6 is expected to be thinner and lighter compared to previous Galaxy Z Folds. The Z Fold6 may have a built-in stylus slot for the S Pen, just like the S24 Ultra. Now let’s focus on what we know about the Z Fold 6 Ultra.
We spotted the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra with the model number SM-F958N in our database. We believe this is the “Fold 6 Ultra” because Samsung typically designates the last digit of the model number as 8 for Ultra phones. For example, while the model number of the Galaxy S23 is SM-S911x, the model number of the S23 Ultra is SM-S918x. Similarly, while the model number of the S24 is SM-S921x, the S24 Ultra is SM-S928x.
Samsung has never introduced a foldable device with the model number’s last digit being 8 before. For instance, the model number of the Fold 5 is SM-F946x, whereas the model number of Fold 4 is SM-F936x. In short, all previously introduced Galaxy Folds have model numbers ending in “6”. Since SM-F958N is present in our database, we can confidently say that Samsung is indeed working on an “Ultra” foldable device that will be unveiled soon, namely the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra. The internal model number of the upcoming Z Fold 6 Ultra is “Q6A“. It’s not possible to say anything about the exact launch date at the moment; we expect Samsung to unveil the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July.
It’s great to see the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra series coming out
The idea of Samsung releasing an Ultra foldable device is quite exciting. However, it’s worth noting that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra will likely only be sold in Korea. We believe this because apart from the SM-F958N model in our database, there is no other device. The last letter in the model number of Samsung phones indicates the region market where the device is available, and Samsung has reserved the letter N for Korea. It seems that the Z Fold 6 Ultra will only be sold in Korea. In addition, the normal Galaxy Z Fold 6 model will also be sold in Korea. Galaxy Z Fold 6’s Korea version has the model number SM-F956N.
Now, if we discover a different model number in our database for this device, that could be a big clue. This might mean that Samsung plans to release it not just in Korea but also in Europe and the US. Unfortunately, based on what we know now, it doesn’t seem super likely at the moment. Additionally, Samsung will likely introduce two different Folds, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, but the exact differences between these two devices are not yet known. However, we can confirm that the Z Fold 6 Ultra will come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chipset.
