We are inching closer to the launch of the sixth-generation Galaxy foldables. Some previous rumors claimed that the phone will have a wider cover display, which many people wanted since the beginning.

Book-style foldables (like the Z Fold devices) are meant to act like a mainstream smartphone when closed, while they hold a larger display inside. However, Samsung‘s taller aspect ratio on the inner display makes the outer one significantly narrow so that the phone does not feel as convenient as a bar phone while closed.

Devices with a wider aspect ratio such as the Pixel Fold, or even the OnePlus Open emphasized the difference. So a wider outer display on the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 will offer a significantly improved user experience compared to the previous Galaxy foldables and strengthen its position in the market.

However, a recently revealed image of a protective case of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 shows an aspect ratio very similar to the Z Flip 5. US-based case manufacturer Thinborne shared the image on X (formerly Twitter) from their official account. You can see the image below.

A previously leaked image hinted that the cover display will only be a couple of millimeters wider and will also come with sharper corners. The notable change is that the display borders will be close to symmetrical this time.

Speaking of the inner display, it will be a 7.6″ foldable AMOLED panel. Although the display size remains the same, the aspect ratio will be different (slightly wider). So the phone will be slightly shorter and wider. The phone will also reportedly be 15 g lighter than its predecessor.
