Samsung launched its sixth generation of foldable smartphones on the market last July, the Galaxy Z Fold6 and the Galaxy Z Flip6; However, the company still plans to present an additional foldable model before the end of 2024: it will be a Galaxy Z Fold6 special edition.

The biggest change in the Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition is on its screen: goodbye to the Fold brand
Foldable smartphones use a type of flexible screen that can be folded, which allows this format to come to life: by folding the device it becomes more compact, and by unfolding or opening it we can have a larger surface area for our applications. This is the case for mobile phones like the Galaxy Z Fold6, which has a 7.6-inch internal screenwhich offers an experience similar to a small tablet when the mobile is “open”.
However, this type of screen can present a mark directly in the section where it folds. Samsung’s foldable phones have improved significantly in this regard, and the Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 have less noticeable creases than previous generations.
But still, the fold remains visible. Depending on the angle from which you look at the screen, the crease can be seen more easily.
