Samsung has announced that a new Galaxy device will be released on October 21, 2024, through a teaser video they shared. While no specific details were confirmed, it’s widely believed to be the rumored Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition is expected to be an upgraded version of the regular variant. This model is rumored to bring several enhancements, particularly in hinge design, where the fold crease on the Special Edition is said to be much less visible. Additionally, both the display and camera specifications are set to be improved.
The internal display of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition is rumored to be 8 inches, larger than the regular Z Fold6’s 7.6 inches. The external display is also expected to increase from 6.3 inches to 6.5 inches on the SE version. Meanwhile, the device will be thinner, measuring 4.9 mm when open and 10.6 mm when folded.
The main camera is set to feature a 200MP sensor, a significant upgrade from the standard variant’s 50MP sensor. However, the chipset remains the same, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. With the larger display, it is still unclear if the Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition will receive a battery upgrade.
The array of upgrades offered on the SE variant certainly seems impressive compared to the standard model. Unfortunately, it’s believed that Samsung will limit the release of the Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition to South Korea and China only.
