Samsung Rumored to Introduce Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra Model in 2024: Here's What We Know

Samsung is looking to revamp its foldable smartphone line-up in this segment with rumors of an Ultra variant. A few weeks ago the Korean tech giants were linked with the launch of the budget Galaxy Z Fold variant to reach out to a larger audience. However, it looks like Samsung is planning to completely replace their Z Fold line-up with a new high-end ultra foldable smartphone. According to a report by GalaxyClub, the rumored smartphone will have the model number SM-F958, which suggests that the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event in July 2024 will see the launch of two Galaxy Z 6 Fold devices from Samsung.

Samsung previously assigned the number '6' to the end of the model number of flagship-series devices. Simply put, products like the Galaxy Z Fold 4 were assigned with the number SM-F946 while the Fold 3's model number was SM-F936. This means that it only makes sense for Samsung to launch their upcoming device as SM-F956 which doesn't quite match the previously mentioned rumored SM-F958 number.

The number '8' variant at the end refers to Ultra models in the S series from Samsung. For example, Samsung's S24 Ultra smartphone has the model number SM-S928 while the S24+ reads SM-S926. This sudden change in model numbers indicates that Samsung is, indeed, working on an Ultra variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. This means that the currently missing SM-F956 model number might shift to the budget variant of the Samsung Galaxy. Z fold 6.

As for the phone's release, the rumored Z Fold 6 Ultra or SM-F958 is only shown with the suffix N, meaning the device will launch in South Korea first. As with other regions, there is no indication of the same model number but that should not be a cause for concern. This new addition to the Z Fold line-up from Samsung is done with the hope of regaining the company's lost market share while also delivering on the flagship front.

The company's last smartphone in this segment was the Z Fold 5, which was launched last year with several high-end features. The improved camera system of the 'Ultra' line-up will likely be a boost for those looking for a phone in this segment. The premium of Galaxy Z Fold 5 is Rs. 1,54,999 while no figures have been released for the upcoming Ultra variant in this segment.
