Samsung has once again struggled to keep images of an upcoming device under wraps prior to its official announcement. Last week, the tech giant teased the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition, confirming October 21 as the launch date; however, a source with access to the device leaked pictures of the phone on X/Twitter a day early.
Fold 6 Special Edition Set for Korea and China Release
While the front side of the phone remains under wraps, rumors suggest that the Fold 6 Special Edition will feature a 6.5-inch cover display. The images of the back indicate that it may be wider than the standard Fold 6, which has a 6.3-inch display. This change addresses prior concerns regarding the narrow cover screens of the Galaxy Z Fold lineup; however, it may be a turn-off for consumers preferring compact foldable phones.
The device showcased in the leaked images appears to be the Chinese variant. In China, the phone will be marketed as the W25, while in other regions, it is anticipated to be sold as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition. It will be available exclusively in Korea and China during the initial launch phase.
However, potential buyers outside these markets may not feel too disappointed. The Fold 6 Special Edition is rumored to feature minimal upgrades compared to its predecessor, including larger displays and a 200MP main camera. While speculation hints at additional improvements, such as a larger battery, all details will be confirmed during the official announcement.
