As we near the anticipated Galaxy foldables launch, which is likely to happen in July, more information seems to be popping up. While it was about the screen dimensions earlier, a new leak showcases a significant part of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 in real life.

Firstly, the book-style foldable phone might finally eliminate the rounded corners of its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Instead, it might opt for sharp edges similar to those of the company’s flagship phone, the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The Ice Universe's shared image shows the phone in a folded state, with a tiny portion of the cover screen at the top, including the camera cutout and the antenna, lined up top.
The shared display's noticeable feature is a sizable bezel right above the selfie shooter. It looks similar to the previous iteration, meaning we cannot expect radical changes like slimmer bezels on the cover screen.

Meanwhile, the tipster also shared another image of the front pane of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, placing it next to the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which indicates how different the successor would look.
The tipster further notes that the cover screen is wider than the predecessor model by a significant margin. Ice Universe shared the same information earlier this month, wherein the dimensions of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 cover screen were also revealed.
