Samsung is rumored to be adding a new foldable smartphone to its lineup in 2024. Initially, there were rumors of a budget-friendly option alongside the standard Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 models. However, a recent leak from a reliable source suggests a different plan.

According to a report by WinFuture, Samsung is actually working on introducing a premium Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra alongside the regular Z Fold 6. This would create a similar divide in Samsung’s foldable lineup as there is currently in the flagship S-series.

In other words, there will be a standard model of the device, along with a souped-up version under the Ultra branding. 

Details about how exactly the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra differs from the regular Z Fold 6 remain unclear at the moment. The report however suggests there could be potential differences in display size, memory configuration, stylus integration, camera setup, and battery options.

Industry insider Ross Young also corroborated differences between the two models regarding stylus support. So it’s likely that the Ultra model might support the S Pen, while the standard Fold 6 may not.

While previous speculation hinted at a budget model lacking S Pen support, this new leak suggests a shift, with the Ultra possibly becoming the S Pen-compatible device.

Currently, there’s no concrete information on the finer details of this potential “Ultra” model. However, it’s clear that Samsung is exploring ways to expand its foldable offerings and cater to a more demanding consumer segment.

It’ll be interesting to find out the strategies Samsung intends to employ with the rumored Ultra model to make it stand out from the regular one. Plus, considering the Ultra model will probably have upgraded specifications, it’s reasonable to expect a higher price tag too.
