Just when many would have thought that Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 were the only foldable devices released by Samsung in 2024, some exciting news emerged on the horizon as Samsung is set to launch its long-rumoured Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra in select markets.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra is likely to be Samsung’s first-ever Ultra-branded foldable, a slimmer version of the currently available Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Earlier, there were reports that the company had stopped working on this upgraded foldable. However, recent reports suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra appears to have surfaced online via a retailer.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Ultra features
The Special Edition foldable phone recently surfaced in South Korea, a confirmed market for its release and is already available for preorders at the local T Store.
The report also indicated that the upgraded foldable is anticipated to have a larger 8-inch main display along with a thickness of 10.6mm when folded, while in its open state, it will be 4.9 mm thick.
Notably, the slimmest Z Fold will have a greater thickness when closed compared to Google's Pixel 9 Fold Pro, which is claimed as the thinnest foldable phone.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra release date
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra is expected to be available for preorders in South Korea from October 18 to October 24, with an official launch date set for October 25. However, the release date is yet to be announced in the US.
