We are likely just a few weeks away from Samsung revealing the Galaxy Z Fold 6. And a new leak surfaced today that makes this foldable phone sound even more exciting.

On X (formerly Twitter), IceUniverse recently shared a close-up image that reportedly shows the rear camera design of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6. The design appears to significantly differ in terms of the camera setup found on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and previous models.

In fact, it also differs from the rest of Samsung’s current smartphone lineup, including the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This new revelation suggests that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 may undergo a more substantial redesign than expected, as it was not included in earlier device renders.

The camera systems on the current Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the previous Galaxy Z Fold 4 are remarkably similar, indicating that Samsung needs to make some changes in this aspect of the Galaxy Z Fold. Both versions include a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide sensor, and a 10MP telephoto one.

Until now, we’ve heard contradictory information about the camera system coming to the next Galaxy Z Fold. Some reports have said the phone would use the same image sensor as the Galaxy Z Fold 5. More recently, however, at least one rumor suggested the Galaxy Z Fold 6 would include a 200MP primary camera like the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Today’s news suggests there is indeed a change coming.

In 2024, the Galaxy Z Fold lineup may see more than just camera changes. Rumors indicate that two models could be released for the first time. Alongside a traditional Galaxy Z Fold 6, a more premium model called the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra might also arrive.

Samsung is expected to announce the next Galaxy Z Fold alongside a Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy 7 Watch on Wednesday, July 10, at a Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris. The new product should be available for purchase soon after.

Samsung's next generation of foldable smartphones may arrive with significantly higher price tags than their predecessors. According to information shared by Roland Quandt of WinFuture, the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 8, and the Galaxy Watch 9 lineup are all expected to see price increases in Europe when they are unveiled later this month.

While flagship smartphones have steadily become more expensive over the past few years, the leaked pricing suggests Samsung could be taking another sizeable step upward, particularly for buyers opting for higher storage variants.

If you bought a OnePlus because of OxygenOS, for the relatively clean, fast, and actually-useful Android experience, your phone may be the last one to get it. 

According to a report from the Indian outlet Smartprix, OxygenOS and Realme UI are both reportedly being phased out. If accurate, everything would move to ColorOS, the skin atop Android on Oppo smartphones, globally, across all three brands.
