Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 new move to beat Apple shakes the phone and tablet market
In the world of smartphones, folding phones are now popular! Samsung’s hold on this market is unwavering. However, companies like Huawei and Honor are still in the competition. Now Samsung is bringing the slimmest folding phone Galaxy Z Fold 6 “Slim” to the competition. It is heard that this phone is going to arrive in South Korea on September 25. Let’s take a look at the phone’s specifications, price, and the reasons behind Samsung’s move.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 “Slim”: The magic of thin but big display
The biggest attraction of this new Samsung phone is its slim design. The regular Galaxy Z Fold 6 phone is 12.1mm thick, while this “Slim” version is only 10mm thick! Can you imagine? A phone so thin that it can be folded and kept in the pocket! But the display size has not been reduced even though it is thinner. Rather, the external display has increased from 6.3 inches to 6.5 inches, and the internal display has increased from 7.6 inches to 8 inches. The phone will be available in black color and may cost around 2.8 million won (around US$2,100).

S Pen support is not, what is the reason?
Samsung has dropped S Pen support to bring this slim design. The 0.3mm film required for S Pen functionality is missing from this phone. In addition, Samsung Display and Samsung Electro-Mechanics are working to reduce the size and thickness of components such as display panels and camera modules. Even an industry official said, “Samsung is doing everything possible to make it even 0.1mm thinner.”
Why this thin phone race?
Samsung is constantly working to reduce the thickness of its foldable Z series and standard S series smartphones. The move reflects a broader shift in the industry from focusing on larger screens to winning the race to make thinner phones, responding to consumer demand for lighter and easier-to-use devices. Samsung’s strategic early launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim positions them to lead the burgeoning slim phone market, outpacing rivals like Apple and Chinese manufacturers.
Launch in September: New strategy
Samsung usually launches their new phones in February or August. However, their choice to introduce this product in September hints at a shift in their market approach. They want to be the first in this market and leave the competitors behind. Apple, Samsung’s main rival, is reportedly developing a slim model for its iPhone 17 series next year. Bloomberg recently reported that Apple is working on a smartphone that is about 5mm thick, about 3mm thinner than last year’s iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Competition with Chinese brands as well
Samsung has also jumped into the slim phone market to compete with fast-growing Chinese brands. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim is anticipated to enter the Chinese market under the moniker “W25,” where it will face off against Huawei’s Mate X6, which debuted in November. The competition is heating up with other Chinese brands also vying for a share of the foldable market. Honor recently introduced its slim 9.2mm foldable, the Magic V3, while Xiaomi countered with the 9.47mm thick Mix Fold 4.
Conclusion
The launch of Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will undoubtedly usher in a new chapter in the smartphone world. Samsung is looking to once again prove its dominance in the world of foldable phones with this new phone. But how easy this fight will be in the face of competition from Apple and Chinese brands, it is now to be seen.
