• Samsung has reportedly started work on an ultra-slim foldable.
• The companys goal is to develop a foldable thats no thicker than a regular slab phone when folded.
• Since Samsung has just started work on this new foldable, you shouldnt expect it to hit the market anytime soon.

Rumor has it that Samsung will launch a slimmer version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 measuring just 10mm later this year. Although the company has not confirmed its existence, a new report claims that it has already started work on an even slimmer version.

Korean outlet Hankyung reports that Samsung has kicked off a new Ultra-Slim Foldable project with the goal of further reducing the thickness of its foldables. Industry insiders familiar with the matter have revealed that the project is the result of a recent order from Samsungs mobile head Roh Tae-moon, who has instructed the companys development lab to come up with a foldable that is no thicker than a regular slab phone when folded.
