This mysterious folding screen phone has been the subject of many rumors in recent times.
But now, the phone has been revealed with the name Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim.
A source from GalaxyClub has uncovered the first camera details that are said to be related to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim.
And on top of that, more details about the launch date have also emerged.

According to the latest information, Samsung will equip the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim, with the code name Q6A, model number SM-F958N, with a 10MP front camera on the outer screen,
while the rear camera cluster will include a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera.
There are no details about the main and telephoto cameras at the moment, but interestingly, sources say the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim could debut the most significant under-display camera (UPC) upgrade ever.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim could feature a 5MP UPC, up from the current 4MP used on the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The device, which is only 10mm thick when folded, is likely to be released in select markets only.

The device is expected to cost around 2.8 million won (about 52 million VND).

The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will be thinner than the regular Fold 6 but will have a larger display, meaning a 6.5-inch outer display and an 8-inch inner folding display.
According to Gizmochina, the Z Fold 6 Slim could be the first foldable phone in the Galaxy series to use titanium for the back. In the current Galaxy Z Fold models, Samsung uses carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) for this part.
Titanium is known to be both strong and light, making phones more durable and easier to carry around. While CFRP is still an option, it looks like Samsung will eventually go with titanium.
In May, it was revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim might not support the S Pen. The use of a titanium back material could be the reason for this. Titanium could affect the digitizer that allows the stylus to function properly.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6's outer display measures 6.3 inches and has a 22.1:9 aspect ratio, which is an improvement over the previous 23:9 ratio but still not comfortable enough for two-handed operation. Therefore, the iPhone 15 Pro Max's main screen, which measures 6.7 inches and has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, will provide a better user experience.
In terms of overall durability, the iPhone 15 Pro Max still has the upper hand. With a sturdy titanium frame design and IP68 dust and water resistance certification, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is more durable than the foldable device , which is at a higher risk of damage.
However, Samsung has also made significant improvements with the new Galaxy Z Fold 6 by equipping this flagship with IP48 certification, providing a fair level of water and dust resistance.
Screen quality
The highlight of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is the large main screen of up to 7.6 inches with a nearly square aspect ratio (10.4: 9). Although this screen is not ideal for watching movies and watching videos in 16: 9 format, it is very suitable for multitasking with split-screen applications or floating windows.
In terms of the outer screen, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a larger secondary screen than the outer screens of other foldable phones like the OnePlus Open or Pixel Fold, but it's still quite narrow.
