Earlier this year, reports suggested that three foldable devices were in the works: the B6, Q6, and Q6a. The first two are the Z Flip6 and Z Fold6. As for the “Q6a,” there have been various speculations: it could be the Galaxy Z Fold FE, Z Fold Slim, or Z Fold Ultra.
Work on this model continues – Galactic Club found evidence that developers are building firmware for a phone with the model number SM-F958N. For reference, the Z Fold6 is SM-F956. The last digit indicates the class of the device (e.g. the S24+ is SM-S926, the S24 Ultra is SM-S928) and the last letter indicates the region. “N” being for Korea, while Chinese models use “0” (zero).
Additionally, the SM-F958N firmware is configured for the country codes KOO, KTC, SKC, and LUC. These are South Korea (unlocked), KT roaming, SK Telecom, and LG U+. In other words, these are the three largest carriers in South Korea and an unbranded model.
Multipurpose PC The manufacturer claims to have information that the Q6a model, the Galaxy Z Fold6 Ultra, or whatever it will be called, will also be launched in China. The launch in Korea and China is said to be scheduled for October.
If true, then it will be the Samsung W25. Samsung’s foldables use different branding in China (W instead of Z) and have a slightly different exterior. Here’s the Samsung W24 and last year’s Galaxy Z Fold5, for example. Also note that the W24 had 16GB of RAM, while the international model only had 12GB.
However, this would be a much bigger change than a regular W device. And Samsung has never sold the W models outside of China (well, it did sell the Galaxy Z versions). Is there any chance of an even wider launch? We’ll have to wait and see.
For what it’s worth, Samsung will reportedly unveil the Galaxy Tab S10 series (and possibly its XR headset and more) in October, so this could be an Unpacked that rivals the July event.
