Samsung has announced a special edition model of the Galaxy Z Fold. It’s thinner and a little lighter than the just-released Galaxy Z Fold 6, with slightly larger inner and outer displays and new stripes on the back. It also has more memory available for Galaxy AI and an upgraded 200-megapixel wide-angle camera.
wonderful! Unfortunately, it has only been announced for South Korea, with a price tag of 2,789,600 won, or just over $2,000, when it goes on sale on Friday, October 25th. And it looks like China will be the only other release market.
At 10.6mm thick and 236 grams, the Galaxy Z Fold SE is 1.5mm thinner and 3 grams lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Memory is now 16GB as standard, and the wide-angle sensor has been improved from 50 million pixels to 200 megapixels. The inner and outer displays have also grown slightly to 8.0 inches and 6.5 inches, up from 7.6 inches and 6.3 inches, respectively. Therefore, the height and width of the device will be a little higher to help hold the device when folded and unfolded.
This change is unlikely to address the concerns we had when reviewing the Galaxy Z Fold 6 this summer. There’s still not much that’s different in the device category that Samsung helped pioneer. But if you’re looking for the best foldable device Samsung has to offer, the Galaxy Z Fold SE is for you.
