Samsung recently introduced its Galaxy Z Fold6 globally as the key foldable phone for this year. Now, the company has taken a step further with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition.
Exclusivity in South Korea
In contrast to the Galaxy Z Fold6 (buy on Amazon), the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition seems to be limited to Samsung's native country, South Korea. One of the major highlights of the Z Fold Special Edition is its sleek design, standing at a mere 10.6 mm thick and weighing 236g. These measurements make it 1.5 mm thinner and 3g lighter than the globally available Galaxy Z Fold6. Quite the slim difference!
Impressive Camera Features
The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition also features an enhanced camera system compared to the Z Fold6, fitting a 200 MP main camera into its thin body. This is likely the same sensor found in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, providing a significant upgrade over the Z Fold6's 50 MP camera. However, the other cameras remain unchanged from the Z Fold6: it includes a 10 MP zoom lens, a 12 MP ultra-wide angle camera, a 10 MP selfie camera, and a 4 MP under-display cover camera. It comes standard with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage.
Availability and Pricing
Set to launch in Korea on October 25, the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. The starting price is 2,789,600 KRW, which is a considerable increase compared to the similarly equipped Z Fold6 priced at 2,242,000 KRW.
Samsung's latest offering promises to be a standout in the foldable market, especially for those in its home region.
