We are very close to one of the most important launches of the year for Samsung, perhaps more important than the Galaxy S24 or the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6. It’s not in vain, it’s the mobile which must demonstrate that Samsung is still at the forefront of the sector, and which has not been advanced by Chinese manufacturers.
Rumors already suggested that the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition was very close, and now Samsung itself seems to have confirmed it. The company posted an announcement on its YouTube account confirming the launch of a Galaxy device on October 21; Although he didn’t elaborate, an analysis of the 11 seconds of the video reveals a lot.
Although it may not seem like it, the new device appears in the video, in an envelope; If we look at one of the frames we will see that it is a foldable mobile phone, confirming at least that it is a model from the Galaxy Z Fold range. The fact that the mobile was transported inside an envelope and passed under the door tells us that it is very thin, which is precisely one of the strong points that leaked from the special edition.
The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is rumored to be 10.6mm closed and 4.6mm open; a notable improvement compared to the 12.1 mm closed and 5.6 mm open of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Even if it is not at the level of the best on the market (the HONOR Magic V3 is still thinner), Samsung intends to demonstrate that its phone is not only thin, it is also durable and luxurious. The announcement refers to this with a classic and elegant frame, which will likely result in the use of copper-colored details on the mobile; This also indicates that Samsung will likely target the “premium” sector and that this new model will not be cheaper than the regular Galaxy Z Fold 6.
There are still many details to be confirmed about this new model, starting with the name; Three possibilities have been disclosed: Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition, Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition or Galaxy Z Fold Slim. It will also be interesting to see if Samsung has made any improvements in aspects other than the construction of the device, such as the cameras or displays; the latter could be a little larger depending on the leaks.
But above all, the great mystery is whether we will see this new mobile in Europe. Rumors point to a limited launch in South Korea and China, but the good news is that Samsung’s next generation of foldable devices should reap the benefits of this special model.
