The current Z Fold lineup boasts a super-slim outer display that unfolds to reveal a nearly square inner display, with subtle aspect ratio adjustments over time.

Renowned tipster Ice Universe has shared an image of a third-party screen protector allegedly designed for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6, hinting at a broader aspect ratio for the outer display.

According to the leaked image, the outer display could measure just over 60mm in width, a noticeable increase from the roughly 57mm width of the existing Fold 5.

This design modification would effectively provide users with more usable screen real estate while maintaining a similar overall footprint, without the need to increase the device’s overall size substantially.
