Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 price drops in India by Rs 39,600 after Galaxy Z Fold 7 launch

India Today10-07-2025
With the arrival of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung's older foldable — the Galaxy Z Fold 6 — has received a big price drop in India. The foldable is now available with a flat discount of Rs 39,600 on Amazon, making it a tempting deal for those who have been eyeing Samsung's premium foldable without wanting to spend close to Rs 1.74 lakh.advertisementThe current offer applies to the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant, bringing down its price to a more manageable level. And while the Fold 7 brings in some fresh design changes and camera upgrades, the Fold 6 continues to offer powerful hardware and a flagship experience, especially now that it costs much less.Under the hood, the Fold 6 is equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, which was the best Android processor at launch and still holds up very well in 2025. The phone runs smoothly even under heavy multitasking or graphic-intensive games. It's ideal for users who want the performance of a flagship and the flexibility of a large screen.
The Fold 6 has a 6.3-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner foldable screen. Both panels offer vibrant colours, high refresh rates, and excellent brightness, making the foldable feel just as premium as a top-end smartphone or tablet. You also get S Pen support, which adds to the productivity appeal for users who prefer to sketch, take notes, or edit documents on the go.Samsung has used Armor Aluminum for the frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for protection, giving the Fold 6 a solid build. It is IP48 rated for dust and water resistance — not a small feat for a foldable — and despite being chunkier than its successor, it doesn't feel outdated.The Fold 6's camera setup includes a reliable triple rear camera system along with front and under-display selfie cameras. While it may not match the new 200-megapixel sensor found on the Fold 7, the results from the Fold 6 remain more than good enough for daily shooting, video calls, and social media content.One of the key reasons to consider the Fold 6 now is that it brings nearly all the flagship-level features, minus some of the refinements that the Fold 7 brings, but at a much lower cost. The newer model may be thinner and lighter, with a slightly bigger screen and better cameras, but in terms of user experience, the Fold 6 still delivers an excellent all-rounder foldable package.The battery capacity remains the same on both — a 4,400mAh unit with support for 25W fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse charging. So, in real-world use, there isn't a big gap in endurance.For users who want to enter the foldable category without breaking the bank, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 — especially at this new reduced price — is worth a serious look. It offers great performance, a tablet-like display experience, S Pen support, and Samsung's proven foldable build quality.- Ends

UAE Central Bank suspends motor insurance business of Oriental Insurance in Dubai: Here's why

The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) has suspended the motor insurance operations of state-owned Oriental Insurance Company (OIC) in Dubai due to non-compliance with regulatory requirements in the country. OIC has decided to place its Dubai operations in run-off mode. The branch, which began operations in 1960, generated a total business of Rs 296 crore in 2024. 'The insurer remains liable for all rights and obligations arising from insurance contracts concluded before the suspension,' CBUAE said in a note. This action comes as a result of the entity's failure to comply with the solvency and guarantee requirements, specified in the Law and prevailing regulations governing insurance companies in the UAE, CBUAE said. The CBUAE, through its supervisory and regulatory mandates, endeavours to ensure that all insurers, their owners and staff comply with the UAE laws, regulations and standards established by the CBUAE to maintain transparency and integrity of the insurance sector and safeguard the UAE financial ecosystem, the UAE regulatory body said. In insurance terms, 'run-off' means the company will continue to manage and settle claims on existing policies until they expire, but it is no longer allowed to issue new policies. 'CBUAE suspended the motor insurance business of a foreign insurance company's branch (insurer), pursuant to Articles (33) and (44) of Federal Decree Law No. (48) of 2023 Regulating Insurance Activities,' CBUAE said. OIC has informed the CBUAE that its Dubai branch will move into run-off operations starting August 7. The company assured that it will fully meet all obligations and commitments arising from policies issued before this date, continuing to service them until their natural expiry. OIC was required to deposit a statutory bank guarantee of AED 100 million, but the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) denied its request for additional time to obtain board and regulatory approvals. As a result, the regulator barred the company from issuing new or renewal motor insurance policies, a source said. OIC has overseas operations in Nepal, Kuwait and Dubai. In August 2021, State-owned General Insurance Corporation (GIC Re), a leading non-life reinsurer globally, decided to put its Dubai branch into run off mode as the Dubai authority did not renew the licence issued to the company. The reinsurer was to run the Dubai business from the GIFT City IFSC in Ahmedabad. GIC has three overseas offices — branch offices in London, Dubai and Malaysia. Apart from this, it has three wholly owned subsidiaries — GIC Re South Africa Ltd., Johannesburg; GIC Re, India, Corporate Member Limited, London and GIC Perestrakhovanie LLC, Moscow. The company has also invested in the share capitals of Kenindia Assurance Company Ltd, Kenya, India International Insurance Pte Ltd, Singapore, Asian Reinsurance Corporation, Bangkok, East Africa Reinsurance Company Ltd, Kenya, and GIC Bhutan Re Ltd, Bhutan. New India Assurance placed its operations in two countries under run-off. The Hong Kong branch entered run-off on April 1, 2022, followed by the Philippines branch on January 1, 2023, after a strategic review of regulatory requirements and business viability. Despite these exits, the company continues to operate in around 24 countries, with branches or affiliates in key markets such as the UK, Japan, UAE, Australia, Thailand, Singapore, and Nigeria.

The non-banking financial company's consolidated assets under management (AUM) surged by 42 per cent year-on-year to Rs 24,754 crore in the first quarter of FY26, driven by robust growth in its retail loan portfolio, the company said. Capri Global's gold loans grew 69 per cent, while housing loans expanded 32 per cent during the quarter. Co-lending AUM rose 64 per cent to Rs 4,681 crore, contributing 18.9 per cent to the total AUM compared to 17.8 per cent in the previous quarter. The company's disbursements stood at Rs 8,458 crore, up 51 per cent on a yearly basis, with customer base surpassing 5.5 lakhs, it added. CGCL raised Rs 2,000 crore through a QIP during the quarter, taking its standalone capital adequacy ratio to 34 per cent. "Our tech-led infrastructure and customer-first approach will continue to enable us to scale efficiently while maintaining strong profitability. With margin expansion driven by high-yield products, steady growth in fee-based income, and tech-led cost efficiencies, we are well placed to deliver robust returns," Capri Global Capital Ltd founder & MD Rajesh Sharma said. The successful equity raise during the quarter has further strengthened our capital base, providing the capital to accelerate our geographic expansion and deepen our investments in AI and data science capabilities, he added.
