A Korean publication named The Elec revealed that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will only provide a 5 percent size reduction in comparison to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 which is not an incremental reduction. The report claimed that the “slim” version of the smartphone will likely measure 11.5mm when folded, whereas the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is 12.1mm. However, the  Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim may not be as thin as we expected as there are several other brands which offer even thinner foldable smartphones.

Earlier this year, we reported that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim may not come with the S-pen functionality, therefore, the slimness of the smartphone may be achieved due to the removal of the digitizer. Currently, in the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the S-pen space is reportedly 0.3mm thick. With reduced size, Samsung is expected to include a bigger main display of 8-inch which may give more space for other parts to be attached in the smartphone.
