- Samsung has reportedly started work on an ultra-slim foldable.
- The company’s goal is to develop a foldable that’s no thicker than a regular slab phone when folded.
- Since Samsung has just started work on this new foldable, you shouldn’t expect it to hit the market anytime soon.
Rumor has it that Samsung will launch a slimmer version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 measuring just 10mm later this year. Although the company has not confirmed its existence, a new report claims that it has already started work on an even slimmer version.
Korean outlet Hankyung reports that Samsung has kicked off a new Ultra-Slim Foldable project with the goal of further reducing the thickness of its foldables. Industry insiders familiar with the matter have revealed that the project is the result of a recent order from Samsung’s mobile head Roh Tae-moon, who has instructed the company’s development lab to come up with a foldable that is no thicker than a regular slab phone when folded.
