Despite being Samsung’s most expensive phone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 isn’t available in very many colors, so 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.
While none of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 colors have been confirmed just yet, we have seen some leaks about the possible options, including one source who specifically claims there will be just three Galaxy Z Fold 6 shades.
This would largely be in line with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, except on top of that there are two Samsung.com exclusive colors, bringing the total to five. So we’re hopeful that will happen again this year, and indeed five possibilities have leaked, all of which you’ll find below.
Navy
Our main source of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 color information so far is Ross Young (a leaker with a decent track record), who listed five shades the phone will apparently be sold in, one of which 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.
Light Pink
Ross Young also mentioned a Light Pink shade, which once again we don’t have a picture of, and 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 Light Pink shade will be similar.
Silver Shadow
Another color rumored by Ross Young 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, who claims 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 claims 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.
