Although there have been rumors of a less expensive Samsung Galaxy Z Fold called the Galaxy Z Fold FE debuting this year, a report from GalaxyClub suggests that there may also be a new Fold Ultra.
But this is not the first time we have heard about this Ultra variant as during February this year, the German blog WinFuture reported that an Ultra phone is going to launch alongside the regular Galaxy Z Fold 6.
GalaxyClub claims that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra could launch with the model number SM-F958, which closely resembles SM-F946, the model number for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 as well as the expected model number for its successor, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, SM-F956.
Samsung usually uses the number “8” in model names for its Ultra phones like the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is labeled as SM-S928. This suggests that SM-F958 might be an Ultra version for the Galaxy Z Fold 6. However, since the name isn’t confirmed yet, it’s best to be cautious about this information.
Unfortunately, the new Z Fold 6 Ultra may be exclusive to its home market South Korea, since there are currently no indications of a model being developed for the European market or the USA. The South Korean variant could have a model number of SM-F958N, according to GalaxyClub.
The specifications are also unknown, but as the July Galaxy Unpacked event—which is anticipated to reveal the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the Flip 6, and the Galaxy Ring—approaches, we should probably learn more. It is said that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE will go on sale a few months after July.
