Samsung has a Galaxy Unpacked event planned for July 10, 2024, where the brand will likely launch its next-generation foldable smartphones like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, alongside the Galaxy Watch 7 and new Galaxy Buds. Rumors have been going around that Samsung has another foldable up its sleeve called the Galaxy Z Fold Slim. Tipster Ice Universe has now shed more light on this upcoming smartphone.
As per Ice Universe, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will be a lighter and thinner version of the Z Fold 6 smartphone, without support for the SPen. This device will debut in China as the Samsung W25. The tipster also adds that this device will be released in October, although he does not mention whether it be as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim or the Samsung W25.
For those unaware, the Samsung W series smartphones are a China-exclusive series of devices. Samsung collaborates with China Telecom to launch these premium rebranded versions of its latest Galaxy Z series devices. The funds raised from the sales of the Samsung W series devices go towards charitable causes. Last year, the brand launched the Samsung W24 and W24 Flip, essentially rebranded Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 smartphones with a luxurious look.
Coming back to the Galaxy Fold 6 Slim, the drive was previously spotted with model numbers SM-F958N and SM-W9025, going by “Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra“. The former is meant for the South Korean market, while the latter belongs to the Chinese model. It is currently unclear if Samsung intends to launch the smartphone outside of these two regions.
