It has long been rumored that Samsung will launch a thinner, better-specced version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Yesterday, we reported that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition could be released next week. Now, a newly leaked video has revealed that Samsung intends to announce this phone next week.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition could be announced on October 21st
A video posted by Samsung South Korea on its YouTube channel reveals that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition will be announced on October 21, 2024. This is several days earlier than originally thought. The device will reportedly be available only in China and South Korea.
Watch the video below.
This video is a teaser for the upcoming phone and shows a person walking with a letter envelope in his hand and slipping it under a door. When I opened the envelope, the screen displayed the date 24.10.21 and “you are invited” message.
What do you expect from the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition?
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition is said to feature a thinner design. It is rumored to be 4.9mm thin when unfolded and 10.6mm thin when folded. It’s not as thin as some foldable phones from Chinese brands, but it’s still a step in the right direction. Additionally, Samsung will likely sell an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance, which Chinese-made flip phones don’t have. The device is likely to feature a titanium frame similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The phone is said to feature a 6.5-inch cover screen and an 8-inch foldable inner screen. It could potentially include a slightly larger battery to power a larger screen. It will launch with Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1 pre-installed and potentially get seven major Android OS updates.
The upcoming foldable phone is likely to use the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip as the Galaxy Z Fold 6. However, it could have a better camera. According to some reports, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition may come with a 200MP main rear camera, while the rest of the cameras may remain the same as the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6. .
