According to the same source, which is the usually reliable Ice Universe, the Fold6 will be 5.6mm thick when open, and 12.1mm thick when closed. For comparison&#8217;s sake, note that the Fold5&#8217;s thickness measurements are 6.1mm and 13.4mm, the Honor Magic V2&#8217;s are 4.7\/4.8mm and 9.9\/10.1mm, while the OnePlus Open comes in at 5.8mm and 11.7mm, respectively.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Continuing the exclusive leak, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 standard version has an unfolded thickness of 5.6mm, a folded thickness of 12.1mm, and a weight of 239 grams. The resolution of both the internal and external screens has been improved.

That is, of course, if this rumor pans out, for right now it&#8217;s nothing but a rumor, do keep that in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Ice Universe goes on to say that the Fold6 will keep the 7.6&#8243; diagonal for the inner screen, while the cover screen is getting even less tall &#8211; whereas the Fold5&#8217;s had 23.1:9 aspect ratio, this one will take that to 22:9, making it wider and shorter when closed.
