📱 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Speculations and Release

Rumors are circulating about a potential entry-level version of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, with a slimmer design and a larger screen. According to Ice Universe on Twitter, the new model, possibly named Samsung W25 in China, is expected to be lighter and have a bigger display than its predecessor. There are also speculations that Samsung may delay the release of this model until October to address issues with durability in the Chinese market. Analyst Ross Young suggests that Samsung might be holding back on a more affordable foldable phone to ensure it can compete without compromising on quality. The company is said to have opted to eliminate the stylus digitizer to reduce costs and make the device more competitive. However, the manufacturing of these larger, more flexible displays is not expected to begin until late this year, which could push the release of the new foldable to another 9 months later. The W25 branding and special specifications are likely to be exclusive to China, with no current evidence of a global release. Samsung is facing intense competition in the foldable market, and enhancements to the current models, along with new releases, could be beneficial for the struggling Z Fold series. Further hints may be revealed during Samsung's unpack event on July 10th, although definitive answers may be a long wait until the Z Fold 6 Slim becomes a reality.
