Samsung is, however, still determined to find a place in the neverending saga of the thinnest foldable phones, as all rumors point that it has finally made up its mind whether to release a slim foldable.
When Samsung saw what the Chinese competition is doing with foldable phone designs, the story goes, its Chairman tasked the mobile department with beating them and create the thinnest book-style foldable it could.
Samsung then tested the thing for the usual endurance mark of 200,000 openings and closings. The incredibly thin device was about 7mm and change thick, so its hinge couldn’t really pass quality muster, and Samsung had to go with a thicker body. That one, however, apparently was only a match for what Chinese phone makers already offer in terms of thin foldables, so it paused the project.
It has now decided to resurrect and launch it to see where the chips may fall upon release, but future buyers shouldn’t expect S Pen support on the Z Fold 6 Slim/Ultra, just design elegance.
