Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim launch is speculated to happen in the coming months. The smartphone is expected to debut in select countries as the first in a new range of devices from the South Korean technology conglomerate. In recent weeks, it was reported that it would be an ultra-slim variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. However, its reduction in thickness may have been overestimated and it may debut with a different moniker altogether, according to recent information.

The information comes from seasoned tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks). In a since-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), the tipster suggested that Samsung's smartphone could launch as "Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition" instead of featuring the ‘Slim' moniker. The reason? It may not be as thin as previously anticipated.

As per Blass, the reports suggested that Samsung managed to reduce the thickness of the purported foldable smartphone by removing the digitiser - a crucial component required for the function of the bundled S-Pen.

It is also tipped to sport marginally bigger displays, with a claimed 8-inch internal and 6.5-inch outer screen. For reference, the standard model is equipped with 6.3-inch internal and 7.60-inch external displays. This leak suggests that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition may not be as big of an upgrade as previously thought.
