Samsung Redeems Galaxy Z Fold Series with New Special Edition Featuring Bigger Screen and Major Upgrades

Introducing the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition: a powerhouse of innovation and performance. Equipped with Samsung's most advanced camera system on any foldable, it features a stunning 200MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, capturing every moment in extraordinary detail. For selfies and video calls, the device boasts a 10MP punch-hole camera on the cover screen and a 4MP under-display camera inside.

Under the hood, it’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 For Galaxy chip—the same processor driving the Galaxy S24 Ultra—backed by 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. With Android 14 and One UI 6.1.1, the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition offers seamless multitasking, while its promise of seven years of updates ensures future-ready performance.

The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is powered by a 4,400mAh battery, with support for 45W fast charging, ensuring quick and efficient power-ups. Other notable features include IP48 water and dust resistance, Wi-Fi 7, 5G connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth 5.3, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), NFC, and a USB Type-C port. Its sleek, durable design includes an aluminum frame with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on both the front and back, and it is available in a striking Black Shadow color.

However, Samsung’s announcement did not clarify whether the device supports the S Pen, despite earlier rumors suggesting it might. The absence of this information hints that the stylus may not be compatible, though an official update is expected soon.

The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is set to launch in South Korea on October 25, 2024, with a price tag of KRW 2,789,600 (approximately $2,036). In peso,117,843.65

In Korea, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 (12GB+512GB) costs KRW 2,388,100, or roughly $1,742. In peso 100,752.05. Thus, we are estimating roughly. The improved camera, smaller design, and other improvements come at a $300 cost. Regretfully, Samsung has no plans to release the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition anywhere in the world. Though potential purchasers in other locations may have to import it from one of these two nations, it will be available in China as the Samsung W25.

Only time will tell if the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition will be a success. But one thing is for sure: it is a device that has captured the imagination of many people around the world.
