Samsung has steadily refined its foldable line, and the Galaxy Z Fold 6 looks primed to continue this trend of innovative improvements. Recent rumors surrounding this device suggest the foldable could come with a titanium frame, just like the newly released Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The scoop comes from tipster Revegnus, who claimed on X/Twitter that the “Z Fold 6 is equipped with Titanium.” If this pans out, Samsung’s upcoming foldable would be the world’s first to sport a titanium frame.

Titanium is an exceptionally appealing material for smartphones. Its incredible strength-to-weight ratio offers a premium feel while remaining surprisingly lightweight. This is particularly beneficial for foldable devices, where weight has traditionally been a concern. Plus, titanium’s high resistance to scratches and dents could significantly improve Z Fold 6’s durability.

Of course, rumored upgrades go beyond a potential titanium build. Word on the street suggests Qualcomm’s current best Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, superior cooling system, a redesigned hinge for smoother operation, stronger Gorilla Glass Armor, and a slightly larger 4600mAh battery.

The Fold 6 will adopt a boxy design and will look more like the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

While Samsung is staying tight-lipped, it’s widely speculated the Galaxy Z Fold 6, along with the Galaxy Z Flip 6, will launch around mid-July 2024. 

Apart from this, there are rumors of an affordable version of the Galaxy Fold 6 which is said to be targeting a launch timeframe around Apple’s iPhone 16 series. While details about this model are scarce, it’s rumored to lack support for a stylus and may feature a slimmer design compared to the standard Fold.
