Rumor has it that Samsung’s slimmer folding book style will pass Galaxy Z Fold special editionand it would be so launching on September 25. Obviously that didn’t happen, but we do have some launch-related news. Maybe.
A Korean retailer has apparently announced the pre-order and release timeframe for the Samsung Galaxy Fold6 Special Edition – not the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, mind you.
This could be a typo, it could be the actual commercial name of the device, or it could just be made up. Please keep this in mind while you read the rest, because the page in question is no longer accessible to us.
Anyway, what it apparently said was that pre-orders for the device in Korea will start on October 18 and end on October 24, ahead of the phone’s release on October 25. So perhaps the September 25 leak gave the correct date, just not the month.
That is, of course, if this is a real leak from a retailer and not just a figment of someone’s imagination. We’ll have to wait and see which one it actually was.
The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition (or whatever it will eventually be called) should be bigger (8″ internal folding screen, 6.5″ cover screen), slimmer (10.6mm folded) and better equipped (200 MP main camera) than the Galaxy Z Fold6 which launched in July. And yet it will apparently only be sold in Korea and China, because the rest of the world doesn’t deserve these specs – what else can we get from this strategy?
