The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra was recently thought to be dead, but that may not be the case after all

Backing up a bit, rumors about an Ultra version of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 began to surface after WinFuture's Max Jambor revealed the name of the third model in this year's Galaxy Z family of foldable phones: Q6 for the Z Fold 6 and B6 for refers to the Z Flip 6, while Q6a remained unannounced

Now the Galaxy Club has dug a little deeper and found the model number SM-F958 This may seem like a meaningless string of numbers and letters until you look at the site's other data points:

The number "8" at the end of the model designates the Ultra version of Samsung's Galaxy phone in recent years Thus, the SM-F95 portion of the mystery phone indicates a Galaxy Z Fold 6 phone, but the final 8 refers to the Ultra Twist

However, Galaxy Club has bad news for both its Dutch readers and potential US buyers So far, the site has only been able to find the SM-F958N for Korea, Samsung's home market

That doesn't necessarily mean that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra won't be available outside of Korea, but if it is, it will be delayed at least a few months

As for what might make this device an "Ultra," there is no room for speculation Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra builds on its siblings with a larger screen, heavier battery, 200MP lead camera, bundled S Pen, etc, and may be a blueprint for what Samsung is going to offer in the Ultra foldable Perhaps the Ultra model will also offer a more powerful zoom

That said, a built-in S Pen like the one on the S24 Ultra would be a major challenge given that the phone would have to be deployed; each side of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is only 61 mm thick, leaving little room for a dock

We should know this when we learn what Samsung has planned for this summer Thanks to the company's sponsorship of the Paris Olympics, it is rumored that the next Samsung Unpacked event will take place the second week of July Alongside the new Foldable, we also expect to see the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and the long-awaited Galaxy Ring
