Now, another interesting rumor, from a trusted tipster, claims that <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/galaxy\/\"   title=\"Samsung\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Samsung<\/a> is preparing a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra to accompany a regular Fold 6 (instead of a Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE as rumored earlier). <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This got me thinking&#8230; how could Samsung tell the difference between the &#8220;classic&#8221; Fold and the Ultra branded one?  And could the Fold 6 Ultra bring something that the classic Fold 6 won&#39;t?  Let&#39;s talk about it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Of course, keep in mind that everything I talk about here is based on leaks and rumors, as neither of these two phones have been released yet. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What would make the Z Fold 6 Ultra \u201cspecial\u201d? <\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-weight: bold;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">S Pen slot: to the delight of some Samsung fans?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<div id=\"gallery-286aa8ad-e384-4742-ba97-a7205d30e683\" class=\"single-image-container full-width-element\">\n<div class=\"gallery-item\">\n<picture style=\"padding-top: 56.25%\"><source media=\"(max-width: 350px)\" ><source media=\"(min-width: 351px) and (max-width: 500px)\" ><source media=\"(min-width: 501px) and (max-width: 800px)\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/What-could-a-Galaxy-Fold-6-Ultra-bring-that-the.jpg\" alt=\"The Galaxy Fold 5 with its S Pen - What could a \u201cGalaxy Fold 6 Ultra\u201d bring that the classic Fold 6 probably won&#39;t have?\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Galaxy Fold 5 with its S Pen<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There&#39;s plenty of room for eye-widening specs, so potential <span>Z-fold 6<\/span> Ultra becomes attractive.  On the one hand, many Samsung fans wanted an S Pen slot (opinions differ on the subject), just like, for example, the Galaxy <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/s24\/\"   title=\"S24\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">S24<\/a> Ultra.  However, the current foldable flagship, the Fold 5, doesn&#39;t have room in its body for the stylus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This is potentially an area where Samsung could go to increase the value of the Ultra Fold 6 compared to the &#8220;regular&#8221; Fold.  I&#39;ll talk about the downsides of this scenario later. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now let&#39;s move on to:<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-weight: bold;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/camera\/\"   title=\"Camera\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Camera<\/a>: will the 200MP blow you away? <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Another area where potential improvements could be found is with the camera.  So far, Samsung&#39;s foldable devices don&#39;t come with ultra-grade cameras (like a 200 MP main sensor, for example), and this is another option Samsung could use to make the <span>Z-fold 6<\/span> Ultra catchy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Previously, the world of rumors believed that <span>Z-fold 6<\/span> could come with the S24 Ultra&#39;s 200 MP main camera.  However, these rumors were later contradicted by reports that the Fold 6 would have a 50 MP main camera like that of the &#8220;regular&#8221; S24. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now here&#39;s a variation!  Usually rumors and leaks are correct or incorrect.  However, with the recent development and potential Fold 6 Ultra, this rumor might end up being incorrect. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">And<\/span> correct at the same time.  Yes, the standard Fold might indeed have a 50 MP camera, but the Ultra&#8230; might get the rumored 200 MP one. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This actually makes a lot of sense: the camera is one of the main differentiators between regular phones and Ultra or Pro-branded phones.  And this approach is not just reserved for Samsung!  Apple does it too (<a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/pro\/\"   title=\"Pro\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Pro<\/a> iPhones have better cameras than regular devices), as does almost every other phone maker. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If the <span>Z-fold 6<\/span> Ultra exists, it will almost certainly sport a better camera to differentiate itself.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">THE <span>Z-fold 6<\/span> its predecessor, the Fold 5, comes with a 50MP main camera.  Let&#39;s look at some sample images to see how much improvement potential there is. <span>Z-fold 6<\/span> The Ultra camera can provide:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One main thing you&#39;ll probably notice is the more natural <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/colors\/\"   title=\"colors\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">colors<\/a> of the <span>Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span>and that&#39;s thanks to Samsung&#39;s new approach to colors (which may or may not be carried over to the Fold 6 as well, so I won&#39;t focus on it too much here). <br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Fold 5 has a bit more sharpness compared to the S24 Ultra&#39;s photos.  But overall, it&#39;s not too bad \u2013 it&#39;s not Ultra quality either. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Fold 5 has more difficulty in low light.  Noise reduction can sometimes wash out some details (like on faces), while light sources can make it difficult to use the phone.  On the other hand, the S24 Ultra with its 200MP sensor manages to blend in less with light sources and retain more details in the dark part of the image. <br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Overall, you get my point.  If Samsung goes for an Ultra Fold 6, it will definitely need to equip the phone with a better camera \u2013 hopefully the S24 Ultra camera system.  It is not excluded that other cameras will also get a boost, not just the main one.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After all, the Fold 6 only has three cameras on the back (50MP main + 10MP zoom + 12MP ultra-wide), while the S24 Ultra sports four (200MP main, 12MP ultra-wide, 10MP zoom camera for 3x zoom camera, 50MP).  for 5x). <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-weight: bold;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Battery: Could a larger Fold 6 Ultra pack a 5,000mAh battery cell?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rumors say the Fold 6 could bring battery improvements over the Fold 5 (<\/span><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4,600 mAh battery<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">  against 4,400 mAh).  The fact that the Fold has to be as thin as it could be (after all, it&#39;s a foldable and it&#39;s already thick because&#8230; you know&#8230; it folds) somehow prevents Samsung from install a larger battery. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The phone isn&#39;t the worst in terms of battery life, but there&#39;s always room for improvement, right? <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So, if a <span>Z-fold 6<\/span> Ultra could be allowed to be a bit thicker (and have an S Pen slot inside), this could potentially mean it could get more battery too.  Of course, none of this is confirmed, so don&#39;t get your hopes up just yet. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Potential downsides: Will a Fold 6 Ultra be too expensive for most people?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I can see some downsides in all the improvements I&#39;ve listed for a potential Fold 6 Ultra.

(Image source \u2013 Pixabay)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There are no leaks to indicate a potential price for a Fold 6 Ultra.  With a better camera and whatever else Samsung decides to give it to stand out, it&#39;s hard to imagine that the price difference between the regular Fold and an Ultra variant is only $50 or something. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A price difference of at least $100 will likely be on the table.  Or more!  If you look at the S24 Plus and S24 Ultra, we have the former starting at $999.99 and the latter starting at $1,299.99.  That&#39;s a $300 difference.  As for the classic S24 and the Ultra: we have a $500 price difference. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The price could depend on whether Samsung considers the &#8220;regular&#8221; Fold 6 a &#8220;vanilla&#8221; phone or a &#8220;Plus&#8221; phone, compared to the Fold 6 Ultra.  So, either the Ultra could cost around $2,099 (if the \u201cclassic\u201d Fold 6 remains the same price as the Fold 5 \u2013 $1,799), or up to $2,299!  Of course, this is just speculation, so keep that in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Additionally, I want to quickly address the possibility of a Fold 6 Ultra being a larger or bulkier device.  If Samsung puts an S Pen slot and a bigger battery in the phone, this will definitely be the case.  Which could potentially hamper its portability. <br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But I tend to believe that a foldable phone, no matter how thin it is, will always be more bulky than a regular phone.  And anyway, people love big phones these days (it&#39;s becoming almost impossible to carry a regular phone in your pocket!).  So maybe a little more volume wouldn&#39;t hurt for what you get. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Overall, you see that a Galaxy Fold 6 Ultra looks quite promising, and it&#39;s very <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/exciting\/\"   title=\"exciting\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">exciting<\/a> to see if this rumor ends up being true.
