Samsung fans eagerly await the next Galaxy Z Fold and will be excited to learn that the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition (SE) will be released on October 25. Still, the catch is that it will only be available in Korea and China. This limited-edition foldable smartphone brings some notable upgrades over the Galaxy Z Fold 6, making it an attractive choice for those in the market who want a more powerful and refined foldable device.
One of the most significant changes in the Galaxy Z Fold SE is its slimmer and lighter design. The device is 1.5mm thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and three grams lighter, with a total thickness of 1.6mm and a weight of 236 grams. It makes the SE model the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Z Fold to date, adding to its appeal for those who prioritize portability. Its screens are also slightly larger than the standard model, with the inner display measuring 8 inches and the outer display at 6.5 inches, compared to 7.6 inches and 6.3 inches on the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The Galaxy Z Fold SE also boasts enhanced performance thanks to a memory upgrade. While the Galaxy Z Fold 6 features 12GB of RAM, the SE model has 16GB of RAM. This upgrade allows the device to handle AI-powered tasks more efficiently, including real-time conversation interpretation, advanced image editing, summarizing audio, and transcription capabilities. Samsung’s Galaxy AI is designed to assist users in “unleashing” their creativity with these improved functions, making the SE model a more powerful tool for work and entertainment.
Another exciting upgrade is found in the camera system. The Galaxy Z Fold SE’s rear camera has been significantly improved, featuring a 200-megapixel sensor, a major leap from the 50-megapixel sensor on the Galaxy Z Fold 6. This enhancement will likely appeal to photography enthusiasts who want to capture high-quality, detailed images on their smartphones.
Samsung has priced the Galaxy Z Fold SE at 2,789,600 won, roughly $2,025. While it offers exciting features, the SE model will be more challenging to obtain for those outside of Korea and China. Samsung has not yet revealed whether the SE will become available in other markets, but its popularity could influence future decisions.
