Samsung seems to be gearing up to launch several new Galaxy products next month at its rumoured Galaxy Unpacked event. The Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Ring are expected to go official alongside several new wearables and earbuds. We heard several rumours regarding another model in the book-style foldable series — the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim — over the past few months and now a tipster has leaked the purported launch timeline of this model. It is also tipped to launch in China as the Samsung Galaxy W25.
Tipster Ice Universe on X (formerly Twitter) claimed that Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will be launched in October, a few months after the expected launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The handset will be released in China with the Galaxy W25 moniker, according to the leaker.
The post on X doesn’t specify whether this timeline is for the Chinese market or other global regions. The upcoming foldable phone is said to be lighter, thinner, and larger than the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 and could feature a titanium frame while lacking S Pen support.
Last month, Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) Co-Founder and CEO Ross Young opined that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will be larger than Galaxy Z Fold 6. He hinted that it will be launched in the fourth quarter (October-December) of this year and is likely to be priced similarly to the standard model.
