A distinctive folded ratio
The closed cover has a tall, narrow physical rectangle. Measure its live browser viewport before checking navigation labels, action bars and modal controls; panel pixels alone cannot establish CSS width.
Galaxy Z Fold6 has cover display: 6.3″, 968 × 2376, 410 PPI; inner display: 7.6″, 1856 × 2160, 374 PPI. CSS viewport and DPR references are not published without reliable browser measurements. Its tall cover and near-square inner panel provide different physical shapes for a complete widescreen picture. Browser layout targets still need live viewport measurements; opening the device does not by itself establish a tablet breakpoint.
The closed cover has a tall, narrow physical rectangle. Measure its live browser viewport before checking navigation labels, action bars and modal controls; panel pixels alone cannot establish CSS width.
The inner panel adds physical area, but its near-square shape leaves more of the rectangle outside a complete landscape video. Single-column and multi-column app layouts remain options to verify after measuring the active viewport.
Transitioning between folded and unfolded postures alters available screen area during active tasks. Forms, media playback and modal dialogs must retain continuity without refreshing.
Worked example · calculated geometry
With each display separately placed long edge horizontal, the inner display provides about 86.1% more complete video area than the cover. The ideal panel rectangle grows by 105.9%.
Outside the complete 16:9 picture, unused panel area is 27.6% on the cover and 34.5% on the inner display.
Adjust this cover and inner comparison →The closed cover is the baseline; the open inner panel is the subject. Each is oriented independently, so this is not an unfolding animation with a fixed grip. Fit an entire 16:9 image using the smaller width or height scale. Rectangles exclude cutouts, rounded corners and playback controls. No CSS viewport, app layout or real-player behavior is inferred.
Diagrams share a proportional scale within each comparison. Their displayed size is not calibrated to physical inches on your screen.
These are the dates of the recorded fact checks. A hardware specification source does not establish a browser viewport. Calculations and illustration assumptions are described above; no new device measurements are claimed.
The specifications below come from the device records; the notes explain why each comparison is useful.

No verified phone viewport is published for this device. Test both physical display configurations on hardware, record the live viewport, and pair those measurements with nearby layout widths.
Values marked official come from manufacturer specifications; calculated values are derived from them; reference values are developer layout references and can vary with browser, zoom and operating-system settings.
