Samsung was first rumoured to launch a high-end Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra in February, but when company announced Galaxy Z Fold 6, it did not say anything about Ultra model. Months after a report claimed Ultra might no longer be on cards, Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra has reportedly cropped up on an online retailer where its listing says it is due for launch in October.
retailer from South Korea has removed Galaxy Z Fold 6 listing, but a user on X was quick enough to take a screengrab. user who goes by @negativeonehero shared screenshot of a poster that hints at launch of a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition on October 25 and its pre-order schedule starting on October 18. user said model number of Samsung’s Special Edition foldable is same as one that was a part of rumours about Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra.

That means Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra may still be happening. That is because poster was live on a Korean website and erstwhile rumours pointed to launch exclusive to Korean market. However, re is a flip side. poster that X user shared has a link, but it points to listing of Galaxy Z Fold 6 (Crafted Black) version strangely on Samsung Korea website. Crafted Black version is alrey available in multiple markets, so link seems like a placeholder. user has also provided two links, one of which is no longer active and or one redirects to an event microsite on Korea’s T Store. T Store URL has a “f958” model number, which has previously been linked to Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra.
re is no way to check aunticity of poster, and even links do not provide any substantial information about Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra. If what poster claims holds any water, Samsung is likely to start teasing launch in a few days as October has begun.
