We’ve just got another hint about what to expect from the upcomingSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 6foldable, which we think is going to be launched alongside theSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 6and numerous other devices sometime in July.
According to seasoned leaker of phone specs@Tech_Reve(viaNotebookcheck), the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is going to come with a titanium frame rather than the aluminum that’s used in the currentSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 5phone.
It’s a switch that we’ve seen from theiPhone 15 Pro MaxfromAppleand theSamsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, and it means a phone casing that’s bothlighter and tougher. It does tend to be more expensive to use titanium in a phone, however.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard this rumor either, as something similar wassuggested in February. There’s alsobeen speculationthat titanium could be used in aGalaxy Z Fold Ultramodel, if such a version of the foldable device exists.

ConsideringSamsunghas already made the change with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, it seems plausible that it’ll do the same with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 – though we’re hoping that there isn’t a price hike associated with the switch.
The latest information we have is that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 willshow up in July– a year after their predecessors – with theGalaxy Watch 7,Galaxy Ring, andGalaxy Buds 3most probably appearing at the same event.
