The highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition has finally been unveiled, confirming earlier rumors. While bearing a resemblance to the Fold 6, this updated version boasts several significant changes that make it a desirable upgrade for consumers. However, the device is expected to have a limited release, with Samsung planning to launch it exclusively in South Korea and China.
One striking feature of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is its incredibly thin profile. Dubbed the “Galaxy Z Fold Slim” in previous speculations, this device measures a mere 4.9mm when unfolded and 10.6mm when folded, making it one of the slimmest foldable phones in the market. Despite its compact size, the display aspect ratio remains unchanged.
Another noticeable modification is the redesigned camera bump, which appears higher compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The square-shaped bump with rounded corners adds a unique aesthetic to the device. Speculations suggest that the primary camera might offer a whopping 200-megapixel resolution for stunning photography.
However, the most prominent enhancement is the brushed metal back of the phone, giving it a rugged appearance. Some speculations suggest that the back may actually be a pattern under glass, a detail that remains unconfirmed until further testing.
Although the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is expected to launch as early as next month, its availability is expected to be limited to the Chinese and South Korean markets. While a U.S. release is not completely ruled out, the likelihood remains low. The device’s impressive features and sleek design make it a desirable choice for consumers worldwide, leaving many hopeful for a broader release.
