Samsung’s work on Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra/Slim is progressing as the company has reportedly started the firmware development for the new foldable smartphone. It indicates that the rumored Ultra or Slim variant is not yet canceled.

According to GalaxyClub, Samsung is developing Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra/Slim firmware. Time will tell whether Samsung markets it as Ultra or Slim. However, it bears model number SM-F958N, indicating its exclusivity to the Korean market.

Yes, the Ultra or Slim could not be available internationally. Similar to Chinese vendors, Samsung may launch the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra or Slim in its own territory. The Korean market is particularly considered a solid base for the utilization of foldable phones.

In addition to South Korea, Samsung’s Z Fold 6 Ultra/Slim might launch in China as well. It will be available as an alternative to products from local vendors. The specific model may feature a larger screen and slimmer form factor than the regular Fold 6.

Notably, GalaxyClub only found test firmware for KOO, KTC, SKC, and LUC CSC codes. These codes are CSC of Korean carriers. Firmware development suggests the company hasn’t given up on its plans to launch a different foldable with a larger display and thinner design.

The outlet notes that Samsung may introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra/Slim later this year or earlier next year. The company may not produce the device on a high scale, with production being planned for 400,000 to 500,000 units.

Previous reports suggest that the Z Fold 6 Ultra or Slim will have an 8-inch inner and 6.5-inch cover screen. It could be thinner than the regular Fold model launched on July 10 and lacks support for S Pen stylus input.
