Samsung is gearing up for a launch event scheduled for tomorrow, October 21st. While the company hasn't confirmed the details, many believe they will showcase a new foldable device, likely the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition.
First Glimpse of the Special Edition Fold
We’ve had just a brief look at this phone previously, thanks to a leaked render from a month back. Now, another leak has surfaced, providing us with the first live images of the Special Edition Fold.
The source of this leak is an X (formerly Twitter) user named @Jukanlosreve, who posted somewhat blurry images of this anticipated foldable. This specific model appears to be aimed at the Chinese market, where it’s rumored to be referred to as the “Samsung Galaxy W25.”
Design and Market Differences
It stands out due to the unique logo found at the bottom, which is specifically used for Samsung’s foldable devices in China. In South Korea, however, it is expected to be named the Galaxy Fold Special Edition, which is its only other market besides China.
Regrettably, the leak doesn’t provide any specific information about the phone’s features. It’s believed to be sleeker than the standard Fold, and the image of the phone in its folded state does give it a slimmer appearance. Nevertheless, we can’t ascertain its exact thickness.
Display Improvements and Camera Specs
Rumors suggest that the inner display will measure 8 inches, an increase from the Z Fold 6’s 7.6 inches. The outer display is also anticipated to expand from 6.3 inches to 6.5 inches.
Earlier reports indicated that the crease on the new fold's display would be less visible than that of the Z Fold 6. If this proves to be accurate, it would be a much-appreciated enhancement, since earlier models have seen limited advancements in this area.
In addition to its slim design, the new foldable is also said to feature a 200MP camera. According to trusted leaker Ice Universe, this camera's performance may even outshine that of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. We’ll soon discover whether these speculations are accurate, as the event is just a day away.
