Samsung appears poised to unveil a slew of new Galaxy products at its upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, expected next month. Among the anticipated launches are the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Ring, alongside various new wearables and earbuds. Recent rumors also suggest the introduction of a new model in the book-style foldable series — the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim. A tipster has now leaked the potential launch timeline for this model, which may be rebranded as the Samsung Galaxy W25 in China.
About Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim Launch
Renowned tipster Ice Universe recently claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim is slated for an October release, a few months after the anticipated launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The handset is expected to debut in China under the moniker Galaxy W25, according to the leaker.
The post on X does not clarify whether this timeline is exclusive to the Chinese market or includes other global regions. The upcoming foldable phone is rumored to be lighter, thinner, and larger than the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6, possibly featuring a titanium frame but lacking S Pen support. Last month, Ross Young, Co-Founder and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), hinted that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim would be larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and is expected to launch in the fourth quarter (October-December) of this year, with pricing similar to the standard model.

Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event is rumored to take place on July 10, where the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Ring are expected to be officially unveiled.

It could run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and offer storage options of 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.

Samsung is reportedly equipping the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with a triple rear camera setup, including a 50-megapixel wide-angle camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera. Additionally, it is expected to feature a 10-megapixel camera on the cover display and a 4-megapixel under-display camera. The device is likely to pack a 4,400mAh battery with 25W charging speed.
