Samsung fans in China have a reason to celebrate, as two new foldable smartphones have hit the market: the Samsung W25 and the Samsung W25 Flip. Currently, both devices are open for pre-order and they join the previously announced Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, which are also available in China.
Features of the Samsung W25
The Samsung W25 serves as the Chinese version of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition that was introduced in South Korea last month. It features larger displays, a powerful 200MP main camera, and an impressive 16GB of RAM. The design includes gold accents on the frame, around the rear cameras, and on the hinge, setting it apart from other models. Notably, the W25 offers a 1TB storage option, which is a step up from the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition that only offers 512GB.
Additionally, the W25 comes with a power adapter included in the box, although it's only a 25W charger, along with a protective case to keep the device safe from damage.
The W25 Flip's Unique Design
In contrast, the W25 Flip presents a cosmetic variation from the Galaxy Z Flip 6, featuring gold trim around the cameras, hinge, and frame. This model also shares the same IP48 rating for dust and water resistance, is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, and supports 25W wired charging. Instead of using Gorilla Glass Victus 2, the W25 Flip has a ceramic back panel, distinguishing it from its Galaxy Z counterparts.
Samsung has officially started taking pre-orders for both devices in China, with a release date set for November 15. The Samsung W25 is priced starting at ¥15,999 (approximately $2,229/€2,080) for the 16GB RAM + 512GB storage version, while the 16GB RAM + 1TB variant is available for ¥17,999 (around $2,507/€2,340).
Pricing for the W25 Flip
The Samsung W25 Flip is offered in just one configuration, which includes 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. This model has a price tag of ¥9,999 (about $1,393/€1,300).
Samsung's new devices are certainly creating a buzz among consumers looking for the latest technology while maintaining a stylish appearance.
