Samsung’s At the Galaxy Unpacked event to be held in Paris tomorrow, Galaxy Z Fold 6 is the star of the show It’s expected. However, rumors have been circulating for a while about a thinner and possibly larger-screened model called the Z Fold 6 Ultra (or Z Fold 6 Slim). A new report today suggests that the Fold 6 Ultra won’t be on sale.
While details are limited, the main appeal of the Ultra model is that it is thinner than the standard Fold 6. This is a move that Samsung world’s thinnest foldable phone positioned himself as a candidate for the title, which is currently Honor’s It is available on the Magic V2 model. Honor is launching the Magic V3 model this month, which is also thinner than the Magic V2. Similarly, Xiaomi’s It has been revealed that Samsung is also working on the Mix Fold 4, which will have an extremely thin profile. As you can see, Samsung’s competitors are increasing.
The failure to launch the Fold 6 Ultra could indicate that Samsung’s design for the device is not thin enough to compete. It could also be that the company has decided to focus its resources elsewhere. Whatever the reason, this latest rumor is a sign that Samsung an opportunity was missed gives the impression.
For years, Samsung has been the dominant player in the foldable phone market. However, recent reports suggest that Samsung’s market share is shrinking, especially in the face of aggressive innovation from Chinese manufacturers. The upcoming Z Fold 6 may not offer the level of innovation needed to maintain its market share and looks set to come with only minor upgrades.
It is not known whether the Fold 6 Ultra’s delay is due to technical limitations or a strategic change on Samsung’s part.
