The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra has been spotted in test firmware, suggesting it may launch in the Korean market soon.
Exclusive Korean Codes
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra/Slim model is reportedly still in development, according to reputable news outlet GalaxyClub.
The initial firmware test for the device (SM-F958N) was actually found on Samsung's servers, according to the Dutch website. Furthermore, it was pointed out that the firmware had country codes KOO, KTC, SKC, and LUC, all of which appear to be exclusive to the Korean market.
This new information provides more evidence that Samsung is continuing to create their revolutionary foldable phone. Test firmware's arrival at this level implies we're still far from an official launch, according to the outlet.
Future Speculations
Actually, according to Android Authority, a release in late 2024 or early 2025 is possible.
Two big stories this month preceded this most recent turn of events. In early July, a Korean news outlet called The Elec said that the production timeline for the device had been finalized.
Nevertheless, according to German website WinFuture, the launch was postponed and the device was originally canceled last week.
Production Plans Revealed
Additionally, the Korean publication mentioned that Samsung had limited production plans, with approximately 400,000 to 500,000 units expected to be released. This means that the availability of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra and Slim in the United States and Europe is uncertain.
Regardless, rumors have it that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will come with a 6.5-inch smartphone screen in addition to an 8-inch folding screen. As a result, both screens would be bigger than the average Galaxy Z Fold 6 screen.
Reportedly, the foldable will be slimmer than the regular model, but it will not be able to accommodate the S Pen.
