Samsung might bring a new metal rail camera ring to the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The company is preparing to unveil the next-generation foldable phones in early July this year. There are many rumors out there, revealing different aspects of the devices.
Recently, Samsung insider IceUniverse revealed a possible Galaxy Z Fold 6 camera ring design, including a metal rail. After continuing a similar design strategy for three years, it looks like the company is finally bringing a design refresh to its foldable portfolio.
As shown in the extent image, the new design features a metal rail around the camera lens itself with some added texture as well. Judging from the image, you may find it odd or weird, however, the design may look way more premium on the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
To be mentioned, it’s not a real-life leaked image of the device. It’s an AI-generated image, which the tipster has used to showcase the possible design. This design refresh will pave the way for future Galaxy phones including the Galaxy S25 series, coming next year.
