Samsung launched the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 smartphone last year. Since then, we have been hearing a lot about the Galaxy Z Fold 6 handset. Recently, it was reported that Samsung could offer two smartphones as part of the Z Fold 6 series: A standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 and an Ultra model. Now, a tipster has revealed that the upcoming foldable device could feature a titanium frame.

Titanium holds significant appeal for smartphones due to its strength-to-weight ratio, providing a premium feel while maintaining lightweight.
This characteristic is especially advantageous for foldable devices, where weight has historically been a concern. Additionally, titanium’s high resistance to scratches and dents could notably enhance the durability of the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Rumours suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. It could come with an enhanced cooling system, a redesigned hinge for smoother operation, stronger Gorilla Glass Armor, and a 4600mAh battery. Also, the Fold 6 is expected to adopt a boxy design.
There is widespread speculation that both the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 could launch around mid-July 2024.
Earlier, display analyst Ross Young revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 might boast larger displays than their predecessors.
