After a fifth generation of the foldable Galaxy that transforms into a tablet, the Galaxy Z Fold5, which we classify as “the best foldable” thanks to a couple of changes compared to its predecessor, Samsung continues working to prepare the next model.
The round of leaks and rumors has already begun, which lets us know that there will be a cheaper version of the future Galaxy Z Fold6. Now, in a new leak, the first images that clearly show its design and reveal some improvements. This is what the Korean manufacturer’s next foldable looks like.
A thinner Galaxy Z Fold6: just what you need to avoid comparisons with the competition
On this occasion, the information comes from the Pigtou portal, where we can see the next folding phone from the best-known galaxy on the Android scene. The Galaxy Z Fold6 will take advantage of a patent registered by Samsung itself in the United States.
Thus, this patent envisions a thinner design, which will also be wider compared to its predecessor. Therefore, it is expected that both the external and internal panels have a greater diagonal.
In addition, workers in the sector affirm that the Galaxy Z Fold6 will not only be thinner, but on the other hand, your screens will have a different aspect ratio to what is usual in recent generations.
Because yes, the leaks also point to a expanding your external screenone of the main criticisms it has received compared to rivals such as the Oppo Find N2 Flip.
Considering that Samsung foldables are still some of the thickest on the market, this leak totally fits with the strategy that the manufacturer would have taken. Furthermore, it has been speculated that The Korean firm has been studying competing devices.
Now, what is special about the design that we find in the registered patent? Well, it seeks to face one of the challenges that foldables have today: find the balance between design and functionality. According to the patent, a new hinge module will be introduced, which will not compromise its durability but would guarantee a less pronounced thickness.
For now this is all we know, without this information being official. Only time will tell if Samsung’s next foldable ‘Fold’ is thinner and if the diagonal of its exterior panel increases, something that users expect. Until the announcement of a ‘Galaxy Unpacked’ which should arrive next summer, we will remain attentive to the movements of the Korean giant.
