It has long been rumored that Samsung will bring a thinner and better-specced version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Yesterday, we reported that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition could be launched next week. Now, a newly leaked video reveals that Samsung intends to unveil the phone next week.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition could be unveiled on October 21
A video posted by Samsung Korea on its YouTube channel reveals that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition will be unveiled on October 21, 2024. That is a few days earlier than initially thought. The device will reportedly only launch in China and South Korea.
You can watch the video below.
The video is a teaser of the upcoming phone, and it shows a person walking with a letter envelope in their hands and sliding it below a door. Opening the envelope reveals a foldable smartphone with the date 24.10.21 date written on the screen and the “You’re Invited” message.
What to expect from 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 it is unfolded and 10.6mm thin when folded. While it is still not as thin as some of the foldable phones from Chinese brands, it is still a step in the right direction. Moreover, Samsung will likely retail the IP48 rating for dust and water resistance, which is missing from Chinese foldable phones. The device could have 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 have a slightly bigger battery to power its bigger screens. It could launch with Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1 pre-installed and get seven major Android OS updates.
The upcoming foldable phone could use the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip as the Galaxy Z Fold 6. However, it could have better cameras. According to some reports, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition could feature a 200MP primary rear camera, while the rest of the cameras could remain the same as on the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6.
