Earlier this 12 months, reviews recommended there are three foldable units within the works: B6, Q6 and Q6a. The primary two are the Z Flip6 and Z Fold6. As for “Q6a”, it was variously speculated that it’s the Galaxy Z Fold FE, Z Fold Slim or Z Fold Extremely.
Work on this mannequin continues – GalaxyClub has discovered proof that devs are constructing firmware for a cellphone with mannequin quantity SM-F958N. For reference, the Z Fold6 is SM-F956. The final digit signifies the category of the system (e.g. the S24+ is SM-S926, the S24 Extremely is SM-S928) and the ultimate letter signifies the area. “N” being for Korea, whereas Chinese language fashions use “0” (zero).

On prime of that, the SM-F958N firmware is ready for nation codes KOO, KTC, SKC and LUC. These are South Korea (unlocked), KT roaming, SK Telecom and LG U+. In different phrases, these are for the three largest carriers in South Korea and an unbranded mannequin.
Allround-PC claims to have data that the Q6a mannequin, Galaxy Z Fold6 Extremely, or no matter it finally ends up being known as, can even launch in China. The launch in Korea and China is allegedly set for October.
If that is true, then this would be the Samsung W25. Samsung’s foldables use totally different branding in China (W as a substitute of Z) and have a barely totally different exterior. Right here’s the Samsung W24 and the Galaxy Z Fold5 from final 12 months, for instance. Additionally notice that the W24 had 16GB of RAM, whereas the worldwide mannequin solely got here with 12GB.

Nonetheless, this might be a a lot greater change than the standard W system. And Samsung has by no means offered the W fashions exterior of China (nicely, it offered the Galaxy Z variations). Is there an opportunity that there will likely be an excellent wider launch? We’ll have to attend to search out out.
For what it’s value, Samsung will allegedly unveil the Galaxy Tab S10 sequence (and perhaps its XR headset and extra) in October, so this is likely to be an Unpacked that rivals the July occasion.
