Why Doesn’t the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Case Fit the Z Fold 7? Size and Dimensions Explained
The Fold 7 is not only wider and taller, it’s also thinner than the Z Fold 6. It marks the prime of the Z Fold series — finally, a foldable with no complaints.
So obviously, the Z Fold 6 case does not fit the Z Fold 7 due to the size differences.
Below is a comparison of the Z Fold 7 and Z Fold 6.
Z Fold 7 Dimension:
- Unfolded:158.43 × 143.14 × 4.54 mm
- Folded: 158.43 × 71.47 × 10.08 mm
Fol 6 Dimension:
- Unfolded: 153.5 x 132.6 x 5.6 mm
- Folded: 153.5 x 68.1 x 12.1 mm
From the Comparison Chart, we can find something below:
Taller & Wider: The Fold 7 is about 5mm taller and 10mm wider unfolded, offering more screen real estate and likely a better aspect ratio — closer to a tablet and less cramped when folded.
Noticeably Thinner: The Fold 7 is over 1mm thinner when unfolded, and nearly 2mm thinner when folded, which improves hand feel and portability.
Major Redesign in Form Factor: These dimensional changes confirm a significant structural shift — making Fold 7 more refined, modern, and possibly better balanced.
Not Case-Compatible: Due to differences in height, width, and thickness, Z Fold 6 cases will NOT fit Z Fold 7.
