The source also revealed that Samsung will launch a cheaper version of the Galaxy Z Fold6.
However, this model will not be introduced at the same time as the two versions above.
Instead, this low-cost foldable smartphone will likely be announced by the Korean tech giant in September or October.
According to Android Authority , this version will become a flagship product competing with Apple's iPhone 16 series, which is also expected to launch next September.
According to The Elec , Samsung will only produce a limited number of about 200,000-300,000 units of the low-cost Z Fold6.
This could be the company's first move to test market reception.

Some previous leaks said that the low-cost Galaxy Z Fold6 will not support the S Pen stylus.
This helps reduce production costs as well as the selling price of the product.
The device is expected to be sold for less than $ 800.
"In the period of December 2023 - February 2024, iPhone 14 accounts for about 5% of total iPhone sales in the system. Considering the iPhone 14 product line alone, this model only accounts for about 19% of total revenue.
For the Vietnamese market, consumers tend to choose the Pro and Pro Max lines. However, the standard version of the iPhone 14 is still well-reviewed and has its own customer base," said Ms. Phung Phuong, communications representative of the Mobile World system.
The same thing was also recorded in many other systems. Mr. Nguyen The Kha, Commercial Director of FPT Shop system, said that at the best time, iPhone 14 only accounted for about 10% of sales of the entire iPhone 14 product line, lower than the iPhone 14 Plus version.
