Samsung’s next big release in the foldable smartphone market, the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, has been making waves with new leaks, and we now have our first look at the device. A recently leaked image reveals that this upcoming foldable closely resembles the Galaxy Z Fold6, but with a few key differences, most notably its thinner profile.
First Look at the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition
The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition retains a similar design to the Fold6 but stands out with its noticeable slimness. It features a flat frame with slightly rounded corners, providing a sleek and modern aesthetic. A key differentiator is the camera island, which, while thicker than that of the Fold6, helps users easily tell the two models apart. However, the increased thickness of the camera module is balanced by the overall thinness of the device itself.
On the back, the device sports a brushed metal appearance, though it’s likely finished glass to give off that look. As expected from Samsung, the power button will double as a fingerprint sensor, with the volume rocker positioned on the right side, as is standard with most Samsung devices.
One of the most exciting aspects of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is its slim design. The device will measure just 4.9mm thick when unfolded and 10.6mm thick when folded, making it one of the thinnest foldable smartphones on the market. This thinness is likely to make the phone more comfortable to hold and use compared to bulkier foldables.
The camera setup on the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is expected to be a significant upgrade, with a 200 MP main camera, which promises to deliver top-notch photography. The foldable will feature a 6.5-inch cover display and an 8-inch inner folding screen, offering a large, immersive viewing experience whether the device is folded or unfolded.
While the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is shaping up to be a highly anticipated device, it may be out of reach for many global consumers. According to the leaks, Samsung is reportedly planning to launch this model only in China and South Korea, which could limit its availability elsewhere.
