Despite being Samsung’s most costly smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 isn’t available in very many colors, Once you’ve decided you want to spend big on a flagship foldable, you’re quite limited in your shade selection. So far, it looks like the same might be true of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The Fold 6 looks very likely that it'll have an official launch this Wednesday, July 10, at the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event. If you want to follow the next Unpacked live then check out our guide on how to watch Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2024.
In the meantime, we have seen some leaks about the possible color options, including one that claims there will be just three Galaxy Z Fold 6 shades. So read on for what you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 colors.
Navy
Our main sources of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 color information so far include Ross Young (a leaker with a decent track record), who listed five shades the phone will apparently be sold in, and the same set of Galaxy Z Fold 6 colors has also been leaked by Evan Blass, who also has a great track record. In any case, one of those shades – which has also appeared in yet another Galaxy Z Fold 6 leak (this time from SmartPrix) – is Navy.
We don’t have any images of this, but it might look similar to the blue Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, pictured above, though given the name it might be a bit darker. This is likely to be a smart shade, but one that will stand out a little more than other smart shades like black might. No word yet on whether a color-matched frame will feature, either.
Pink or Light Pink
Ross Young also mentioned a Light Pink shade, while Evan Blass and SmartPrix described this color simply as 'Pink'. In any case, we don’t have a picture of this, and it hasn't – to date – featured as a color choice across existing Galaxy Z Fold devices, meaning this could be a truly new option.
That said, we have seen Samsung use pink on other phones, including the Galaxy Z Flip 3, which you can see in a pink shade above. So it’s possible the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6’s rumored Pink or Light Pink shade will be similar.
Silver Shadow
Another color rumored by Ross Young, Evan Blass, and SmartPrix, is Silver Shadow. Now, silver is a classy, conventional, and enduringly popular shade, yet it’s one that Samsung hasn’t offered with the Z Fold line since the Phantom Silver Galaxy Z Fold 3, pictured above.
However, the 'Shadow' part of the name here suggests it will probably be darker than that, perhaps approaching a gray like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 in Gray that you can also see above.
Crafted Black
Yet another rumored color also comes from Ross Young and Evan Blass, who claim the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be sold in a Crafted Black shade, though this will likely be a Samsung store exclusive from what he says.
As for how this might look, leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 from SmartPrix and @OnLeaks (a leaker with a great track record) show the phone in a black shade, as you can see above.
Black is an obvious choice, as it’s such a popular smartphone shade, and it’s one that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is also available in.
White
Finally, Young and Blass claim there will be a White option, though this again might be a Samsung.com exclusive by the sounds of things.
White is a very popular smartphone shade, so it's sure to do well. We don't know exactly what shade of white this might be, but it might look something like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 in Beige, pictured above.
Other possible colors
Given that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is available in five colors and five have leaked for the Z Fold 6, there may not be any other shades. But it's possible there will be more this year, or that some of these are wrong.
In which case, it’s possible this phone will inherit some of the Z Fold 5’s colors, which for reference include Icy Blue, Phantom Black, Cream, Gray, and Blue. Now, Phantom Black is already rumored, as is a Dark Blue, so we wouldn’t expect a standard Blue to be offered in addition. Arguably Gray might also be a bit too close to the rumored Silver Shadow shade, and Cream could be close to White.
So that leaves just Icy Blue as an option. Of course, there’s every chance we’ll see a different fifth color altogether, or that there won’t be five colors this year. We’ll likely find out for sure in July, as that’s when the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is rumored to launch.
