This Galaxy Z Fold 6 The Korean phone is thinner and lighter than the manufacturer’s previous models, but Samsung Wasn’t quite able to match last year’s Honor Magic V2. That foldable featured a 9.9mm profile, while the Fold 6 shrunk to just 12.1mm.
Things keep getting worse for Samsung, with Honor screwing up the fold every chance it gets this week. The Chinese vendor just unveiled Magic V3 In Europe, what is now the world’s thinnest foldable phone. At 9.2mm, the Magic V3 is even thinner than its predecessor.
Samsung is expected to respond with a slim version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 this month. That phone appeared in various leaks recently, though we haven’t seen design renders or photos showing the handset’s alleged design until this week. If the image you’re about to see below is accurate, we just got our first look at Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE (Special Edition).
The name makes sense considering Samsung has used SE designations for a few years now. Galaxy S SE variants are an example. However, while SE phones are generally cheaper than major flagships, the ultra-thin Fold 6 SE may be more expensive than the main Fold 6 model. Or what some rumors say.

For the image below it Android Headlines Received, no one can say whether it is accurate. However, all Samsung flagship phones get leaked before launch. There’s no reason why the Fold 6 SE should be a better-kept secret.
The phone looks like the Galaxy Z Fold 6. It has flat edges and almost rectangular corners. No one will blame you if you think this is a regular Fold 6. There is no way to measure the thickness of the foldable to confirm that this is the Fold 6 SE.
But if you’ve used a regular Fold 6, you can spot the differences right away. First of all, the rear camera module has a more rectangular design. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that the camera also protrudes further than the Fold 6’s module. Then again, the shape could just be a design choice.
However, the protrusion is indicative of the reduced thickness of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE. If the foldable becomes thinner, the camera protrusion increases. The Magic V3 proves that with its big rear camera bump.
How thick will the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE be? Rumors say we’re looking at a 10.6mm profile, which is significantly thinner than the Fold 6. But it’s still far from the Honor Magic V3’s 9.2mm profile.
Finally, the brushed metal look of the rear glass panel is another clue that the phone pictured above is not the Galaxy Z Fold 6. It is something else. Here’s what the rear glass panel of the Fold 6 looks like:
Samsung should Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE unveiled Sometime in the next week. If the earlier leaks are accurate, it will go on sale by the end of September. Unfortunately, the leaks also say that the Fold 6 will initially only be available in China and Korea. It is not clear whether the phone will be launched in international markets.
