Samsung is gearing up for its upcoming Unpacked event in July, where it will unveil devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and others.

People are excited about Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 this year. Although Samsung was a leader in foldable phones, other companies have now released impressive models too.

So now, everyone is eager to see if Samsung can keep up or if they’ll fall behind in the foldable phone market.

We’re expecting a new iteration of the Z Fold 5 with a slimmer design and thinner hinge. Amidst all this anticipation, there’s been an unexpected leak about the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Sure, it might seem a bit early for rumors, but hey, new info is always good to have, even if it’s a mixed bag of good and bad news.

Let’s start with some positive updates: according to leaker Revegnus’ tweet, Samsung plans to change its foldable display aspect ratio with the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

The disappointing aspect of the Fold 6 is that it uses the same image sensor as the Fold 5.

This seems beneficial as Samsung adopted a new aspect ratio (23.1:9) with its Galaxy Z Fold 4. This slimmer design made handling and using these devices somewhat challenging despite enhancing web browsing experiences due to extended screen space.

The tipster didn’t reveal what this new aspect ratio would be, but we anticipate something closer to traditional smartphones.

For instance, consider rivals of Galaxy Z Fold 6 such as HONOR Magic vs. (21.3:9), Vivo X Fold2 (21:9), or even Google Pixel Fold (17.4:9) set to launch soon.

On a less positive note, it appears that Samsung may stick with a similar camera sensor for three consecutive years – disappointing news!

According to reports, they plan on using it again in their upcoming model – same as last year’s model – which leaves us hoping for better resolution cameras in future models from them!

However, let’s remember that things could still change since we are more than a year away from seeing Galaxy Z Fold 6. For now, let’s keep our focus on the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which is set to release next month.
