What these size differences mean

Calculated from the dimensions shown, rounded to 0.1 mm and 1 g. Percentages use the smaller measurement as the reference. Fold and rotation settings affect the dimensions compared.

  • Galaxy Z Fold6 is 1 mm (1.5% relative to Galaxy Z Fold5) wider. Check this difference against the width of your current device and pocket opening.
  • Galaxy Z Fold5 is 1.4 mm (0.9% relative to Galaxy Z Fold6) taller. This describes the body outline; screen diagonal alone does not tell you the overall size.
  • Galaxy Z Fold5 is 1.3 mm (10.7% relative to Galaxy Z Fold6) thicker. Cases and camera protrusions can change the clearance you need.
  • Galaxy Z Fold6 is 14 g lighter. This is the listed device-weight difference, not a measured comfort rating.

Use these figures to compare physical size. They do not establish one-handed reach, pocket fit, durability or an overall winner.
