Introduction
Samsung is preparing to revolutionize its foldable phone lineup with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra later this year. Rumors and reports have been flying around about the latest flagship phone from Samsung, and, if they're all true, the company looks pretty good to go for launching a high-spec foldable device that could change the game. However, the possible launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra may help Samsung avoid criticism for their foldable phones having made little progress against some competing offers with better specs sold at lower prices. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, according to the reports, is supposed to be a very limited model at first, with some saying it will be sold only in the South Korean market under model number SMF 958. More news of the upcoming Z Fold 6 and the Z Flip 6 should come going into the second half of the year, most likely announcing sometime about early July.
If the reports are to be believed, Samsung may be at the verge of introducing something really different with the much-expected Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra in its foldable-phone series. Reports and rumors have percolated through about the new flagship phone, and it looks like Samsung is set to bring a high-spec foldable device that could be a game-changer. If true, the release of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra would of course be another signal of its commitment to tamping down criticisms that have been thrown against the company's foldable phones showing little improvement over rival offerings with better specs and even at more affordable pricing.
The much-awaited Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra may be limited in the launch; reports have suggested that the launch will be limited at first for the South Korean market, model number SMF 958. With the year heads into the latter half, further details of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Z Flip 6 are said to start surfacing, with the official announcement said to be coming sometime in the early half of July.
Current State of Samsung's Foldable Phones
Newer information from Galaxy Club seems to confirm that a high-spec foldable device is really being identified by the model number SMF 958 in Samsung's model numbering system, pointing towards the ultra designation. Whereas the Ultra variant is expected to bring along a flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a titanium body, Gorilla Glass Armor Screen protection with extra anti-reflection features, and an improved camera setup, though clear details are awaited. Samsung's fans have not been silent on what they want to see change in the Galaxy Z Fold series: from less creasing on the screen to larger batteries and better camera sensors.
And, while the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 have indeed certified the same in China with a 25W charger from Samsung, it still doesn't clear up if these will indeed offer this as their top speed. Given that these are unofficial benchmarks, it's a grand assumption that bodes well for the upcoming official Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. It can be marveled at how much Samsung is committed to advancing their foldable technology, keeping them very much in the race.
Rumors of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra
Recent reports and rumors have circulated about the release of the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra. Leaked renders of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 show it to be a tad smaller in length and wider than the preceding model but still equipped with a rear triple camera stack for familiarity.
But all these are yet not confirmed. The Ultra version is most likely to have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a titanium body, Gorilla Glass armor for the screen, AR properties in the screen for protection of light reflection, and better camera specifications. Thus, some of the fans, by wishing out loud, have been waiting for the updates in the Galaxy Z Fold series, including reduced creases on the screen, larger batteries, and better camera sensors. Being the Ultra version, it may have an upcoming launch that it may count as a staged rollout by Samsung or the latest in development, thereby launching it after the ultra variant comes to the market. More details about the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra are coming out, and clearly, this is part of the strides that Samsung is making towards making its foldable technology the very best it can be and staying at the very top in the market.
Model Number SMF 958
News from Galaxy Club, it is that Samsung is preparing the release to the market of a new high-spec foldable device—SMF 958. In the model numbering by Samsung, it usually signals an ultra designation in the model numbers of the company.
The Ultra variant is expected to bring high-end specifications that include a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a titanium body material, Gorilla Glass Armor Screen for reflectivity with anti-reflective properties, and finer camera performance details. However, certain details are yet to be confirmed. The maximum charge speed still seems like a question of speculation, as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 have now been cleared in China to ship with a 25W charger from Samsung.
Surely, as we get into the second half of the year, there will be more information coming in and more appearances ahead of the official launch. It is going to be early July, at the latest, for both the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. This shows more from Samsung's foldable technology commitment to ensure it goes further for them to stay in the market competition, from the phone release, which is said to be the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra under model number SMF 958.
Anticipated Release and Market Availability
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra launch is going to be super limited in the beginning, with availability tipped for under model number SMF 958 and only on the home market of South Korea. This is the piece of info about Europe and the US; it's still unexplained and therefore leads to so many speculations about how Samsung rolls this series out. That could mean either Samsung is considering a staggered launch, or Samsung is early enough into the process that we wouldn't see the Ultra model until sometime after the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 makes it to market. That would mean, as we look ahead into the second half of the year, we can expect even more discussion about the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, and we might finally see the device released at some point early in July—again, earlier than previous years—because that would add to the mounting evidence of Samsung pushing things along to further advance its folding formula and continue leading in the market.
Differences from the Standard Galaxy Z Fold 6

Leaked renders point to a device a little shorter and a bit wider than its predecessor but still carrying the familiar triple camera setup on the back.

Samsung fans have been saying they want improvements in the Galaxy Z Fold series: lesser crease on the screen, bigger batteries, and better camera sensors.

It will be these exact areas that enthusiasts will be waiting for to see whether Samsung will do exactly that with the next generation Galaxy Z Fold 6 series, which is officially announced or presented.
Certification and Charging Support
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 have both received certification in China with Samsung's 25W charger. While that certification is on one hand a surety that the new devices would indeed work with the 25W charger, it is on the other not a sure affirmation of the maximum charging speed. Much more unknowns are still open in relation to the extension of this support to the Z Flip 6, more so since it is speculated to carry a 4,000 mAh battery. And as we are getting closer to the official unveiling of both the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Z Flip 6, new charging capacity and support information on the two could potentially tip us off on more features of power management and charging speeds that the devices will pack.

It shows the level of commitment in innovation and improvement of the launching preparation of high-spec Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra that would deliver the greatest improvement in both performance and user experience.
