Samsung has started One UI tests of the Galaxy W25, and this suggests that the foldable device will be unveiled in the near future. There are great expectations for the device spotted on Samsung OTA servers. The Galaxy W25 will only be available in the Chinese market, and that’s one of the things that makes it special. Gizmochina has spotted that Samsung has started One UI tests of the Galaxy W25.

Galaxy W25 One UI Test

Galaxy W25 (Z Fold6 Slim) has passed the One UI software test twice so far. The spotted software has the build number W9025ZCU0AXG7/W9025CHC0AXG7/W9025ZCU0AXG7. The fact that the device has only been tested twice shows that it is still under development.

The Z Fold 6 Slim will only be available in China and Korea. The device will have different names when sold in these regions. In the Chinese market, it will be sold under the model number “SM-W9025” and the name Galaxy W25. In the Korean market, it will have the model number “SM-F958N”. The foldable device will be called “Z Fold 6 Slim” or “Z Fold 6 Ultra” in Korea. Although the device has different names depending on the region, the common internal codename will be “Q6A”.

Z Fold 6 Slim will be even thinner than previous models, as the name suggests. Samsung’s thinnest foldable phone to date is the Z Fold 6. The Z Fold 6 has a thickness of 5.6 mm when unfolded. In folded form, it can reach 12.1 mm thick. Z Fold 6 Slim will be even thinner than this thickness.

The Z Fold 6 Slim’s external display may come with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. This aspect ratio is the same as the last flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra. This suggests that it may have a different aspect ratio than previous Fold models. It is also among the leaks that the outer screen has a 6.5-inch size and the inner screen has an 8-inch size.

We don’t have clear information about when the Z Fold 6 Slim will be released. Z Fold 6 Slim may be introduced with the Galaxy Tab S10 series in October.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 6 in the Galaxy Unpacked event earlier this month. However, the company didn’t announce the speculated Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra in the event. The latest news is that this product has not been canceled, but it will be released exclusively in China and South Korea. While we don’t know the exact release date, it is speculated to be in October.

A report from GalaxyClub states that Samsung is developing firmware for a phone with model number SM-F958N, where the last letter represents the region. For reference, the Galaxy Z Fold6 has model number SM-F956. The “N” in the model mane reportedly stands for South Korea, while the Chinese model uses “0”.

It is also reported that the firmware of SM-F958N is suitable for the major Korean operator codes KOO, KTC, SKC, and LUC, which represent the unlocked version, KT roaming, SK Telecom, and LG U+ respectively. It indicates that the device will be launched on the three major operators in the home country. In addition to South Korea, the new phone will also be launched in the Chinese market. According to Allround-PC, the new book-style foldable phone from Samsung will be called Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra.

According to GalaxyClub, the device could still be in its development stage. The publication also speculates that the device could be “far from an official launch” as the company is still working with the firmware. That being said, the phone might not be ready for a launch until the fourth quarter of the year or early next year.

While we currently don’t know much about the upcoming foldable, the naming suggests similarities with the just-released Galaxy Z Fold 6. So here’s a recap. The phone comes with IP48 dust and water resistance, and equips a 7.6″ inner display with a resolution of 1856 x 2160 pixels and a peak brightness of 2600 nits. The outer display is measured at 6.3″, which offers a resolution of 968 x 2376 pixels. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which is paired with UFS 4.0 fast storage.

Speaking of cameras, the phone boasts a 50MP main camera and a 10MP 3x telephoto, both of which support OIS. There is also a 12MP ultrawide on the back. The phone equips a 4MP sensor for the cover camera and another 10MP sensor selfie camera on the outer screen. The phone packs a 4400 mAh battery and supports 25W charging.

The post Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra could remain exclusive to China and South Korea appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris is set for tomorrow, and the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is expected to be the star of the show. However, rumors about a thinner, possibly larger-screened variant, the Z Fold 6 Ultra (or Z Fold 6 Slim), have been circulating for some time. Today, a new leak suggests that the Fold 6 Ultra project might be on indefinite hold, dashing those hopes.

Details are scarce, but the Ultra’s main appeal seemed to be its slimmer profile compared to the standard Fold 6. This would have positioned Samsung as a contender for the title of the world’s thinnest foldable phone, a title currently held by Honor’s Magic V2.

Honor is launching its Magic V3 foldable this month, which is even thinner than the Magic V2. Similarly, Xiaomi is rumored to be working on the Mix Fold 4, which is also said to have an incredibly slim profile.

The lack of a Fold 6 Ultra launch could be a sign that Samsung’s design for the device wasn’t thin enough to compete. It’s also possible the company simply decided to focus resources elsewhere. Regardless of the reason, this latest rumor paints a picture of a missed opportunity for Samsung.

For years, Samsung has been the dominant player in the foldable phone market. However, recent reports suggest their market share is shrinking, particularly when compared to aggressive innovation from Chinese manufacturers. 

The upcoming Z Fold 6 itself is rumored to have only minor upgrades that may fail to deliver the level of innovation needed to maintain market share.

Whether the Fold 6 Ultra’s hold-up is due to technical limitations or a strategic shift by Samsung remains unclear. But one thing seems certain: the current generation of foldable phones seems to be dominated by advancements from Chinese companies. This could be a wake-up call for Samsung, urging them to step up their foldable game in the near future.

The post Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra on indefinite hold by Samsung, says a report appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung is preparing to introduce new foldable smartphones. The Galaxy W25 and W25 Flip have passed the 3C certification and some claims have been made about the smartphones. MySmartPrice said that the Galaxy W25 will be the Chinese version of the Z Fold 6. But things are not as expected.

Many websites published false information about it. Here’s the real thing: the Galaxy W25 will be a rebranded version of the Z Fold 6 Slim or Z Fold 6 Ultra (the name is not certain) with the internal model number Q6A. When I contacted Ross Young, he had already confirmed this. I’m going to bring this information out again with our database, both on Android Headlines and now on Gizmochina.

Galaxy W25 is a rebranded version of the device have the internal codename Q6A

We told you that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra will be sold in more countries. I have already spotted that the Galaxy W25’s model number is SM-W9025. This model number was revealed with the internal codename Q6A. Q6A belongs to a special foldable device that is expected to be the Z Fold 6 Ultra or Z Fold 6 Slim.

Ross Young said that he has a device with the internal codename Q6A and in addition, Young said that the new device is thinner than the Z Fold 6. That’s why everyone thought the device had the name Z Fold 6 Slim. Anyway, even if it has either the Ultra or Slim name, that’s not really the point.

Everyone on the internet is saying that the Galaxy W25 will be a rebranded version of the Z Fold6. This is completely wrong. The Galaxy W25 will have the same specifications as the Z Fold 6 Slim, not the Z Fold 6. The model number SM-W9025 belongs to the foldable smartphone with the internal codename Q6A. For some reason, no one pays much attention to the articles, I don’t understand this.

Also in this article, we confirm that the Galaxy W25 Flip is a rebranded Galaxy Z Flip 6. In the IMEI Database, we saw a smartphone called Galaxy Z Flip6 with model number SM-W7025. Actually, this model is the W25 Flip, as you can tell from the model number. But the point here is that the Galaxy W25 Flip will be a rebranded version of the Z Flip 6. Therefore, the market name seems to be Galaxy Z Flip 6. But this does not apply to the Galaxy W25.

The Galaxy W25 will be a different smartphone than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim and Galaxy W25 will come with similar features. According to information from Ross Young, the foldable device with the internal codename Q6A is expected to be thinner and have a larger screen size.

In addition, it should be noted that. Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim is asked why it is not sold all over the world. The reason for this is cost. Developing a screen is extremely costly and this directly affects the price of the device. Considering that even the Z Fold 6 will be very expensive, we can accept it is normal that the Z Fold 6 Slim is not coming. Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will only be sold in Korea and China. Anyway, I will end this article with two equations that you should keep in mind:

• Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim or Z Fold 6 Ultra (name uncertain)=SM-F958N=Q6A=SM-W9025=Galaxy W25
• Galaxy Z Flip6=SM-F741=B6=SM-W7025=W25 Flip

Samsung is preparing to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra in several regions. Since the beginning of the year, Samsung has been rumored to be adding a mysterious “Ultra” model to its Galaxy Z Fold lineup. While rumors have been circulating about this foldable smartphone, Android Headlines has come across some remarkable information. The new Z Fold 6 Ultra was rumored to be limited to Korea and was not expected to be introduced in other regions. However, the AH team has officially confirmed that the Z Fold 6 Ultra will be introduced in China.

Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra won’t only be sold in Korea

Galaxy Z Fold 6 and 6 Ultra were confirmed to have internal model numbers Q6 and Q6A. Also, it was stated that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra would come with the model number SM-F958N, and users were given sad news. The Z Fold 6 Ultra was first speculated to be a Korea-only model. Now everything has changed with the emergence of the new Z Fold 6 Ultra with the model number SM-W9025. So why is this model number so unique?

Samsung is selling its Z Fold models in the global market under a different name in China. The Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip 5 were sold as the Galaxy W24 and W24 Flip. The South Korean company has registered the model number SM-W9025, which means that the Z Fold 6 Ultra will be sold in China. Of course, this foldable device will probably be introduced in China not as “Z Fold 6 Ultra” and possibly as “Galaxy W25 Ultra”.

Market naming is not yet certain and has not been confirmed by Samsung. The only thing confirmed here is that the Z Fold 6 Ultra will not be limited to Korea. Maybe Samsung will also sell the Z Fold 6 Ultra in the global market with limited stocks, but it’s too early to tell. It is not strange that the brand is introducing this device in 2 countries due to costs, it is completely normal. The new Z Fold6 is rumored to be much more expensive than the previous Z Fold 5. Therefore, we expect the Z Fold 6 Ultra to be unveiled in only 2 countries. The new “Ultra” foldable device is scheduled to be introduced in 2025 along with the Galaxy Tab S10 and S25 series.

Samsung is expected to hold a launch event in July to unveil its next foldable phones. Reports have claimed that the brand is also planning the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be joined by another model named the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra. However, a new leak suggests that the Ultra variant may remain exclusive to only one country.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra may not launch globally

In a recent X post, popular leaker Evan Blass revealed that the South Korean tech giant will announce multiple devices in the near future. These include: Galaxy Book 4 Edge, Galaxy Book 4 Edge Pro, Galaxy Buds 3, Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Watch FE, Galaxy Watch 7, and Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra. The leaker did not specify whether the announcement of these devices would take place at the same event. However, speculation suggests that the Galaxy Unpacked event, reportedly taking place on July 10 in Paris, France, will be the venue for their unveiling.

The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 are also expected to launch on July 10. However, the unveiling of the Z Fold 6 Ultra at the same event remains unclear. Previous reports suggest that Samsung is developing the Z Fold 6 Ultra, bearing the SF-F958N model number, specifically for the South Korean market. Usually, unofficial details of upcoming Samsung devices heading to the global market emerge before their Korean variants. While information about the Z Fold 6 Ultra’s existence in the South Korean market has emerged, there is no clarity about its global versions. Hence, it still appears that the device may not launch outside of South Korea.

At present, there is no information about the difference between the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra and its standard version. Samsung’s Ultra models are known to offer better specifications in terms of display, battery, and cameras when compared to the standard and Plus variants. The same can be expected from the Z Fold 6 Ultra.
