The design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, previously rumored as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim, has been leaked, giving us a clearer view of what to expect from Samsung’s latest foldable. The leak, shared by Android Headlines, shows a slightly thinner version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, confirming the South Korean tech giant’s continuous innovation in foldable devices.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition Design and Build
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition will feature a design nearly identical to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 6. However, one notable difference is its reduced thickness. When folded, the Special Edition will be 10.6mm thick, which is thinner than the 12.1mm of the standard Z Fold 6. Unfolded, the device measures 4.9mm thick, a slight improvement over the 5.6mm thickness of the regular model.
The phone is also reported to have rounded corners, providing a more comfortable grip for users, a design choice that aligns with rumors surrounding the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The device is built with a flat frame, housing a volume rocker and power button on the right side, the latter doubling as a fingerprint sensor. The back panel is expected to feature a brushed aluminum finish, although there’s speculation it may have a glass back as well.
On the rear, a rectangular camera module holds the triple camera sensors, accompanied by an LED flash adjacent to the main lens. The render also hints at a punch-hole cutout on the main cover screen, but due to the screen being turned off, details on the bezels remain unclear. The hinge, a crucial aspect of foldable phones, was not visible in the leaked render.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition Specifications and Features
While the full specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition remain under wraps, reports suggest it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. This chipset promises a smooth, high-performance experience. Storage options are expected to include 256GB and 512GB, catering to a wide range of users.
The phone is expected to offer a 50MP wide-angle camera with f/1.8 aperture, paired with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 10MP telephoto lens. On the front, the device will likely feature a 10MP selfie camera on the outer display, while the under-display camera on the internal screen is reportedly 4MP.
In terms of display, the Special Edition is expected to feature a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 2160 x 1856 pixels. The outer screen is a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 120Hz refresh rate and 2376 x 968 pixels resolution.
The foldable phone will be powered by a 4,400mAh battery, ensuring that users can enjoy extended usage without frequent charging.
Launch and Availability
According to reports, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition will initially be available exclusively in South Korea and China, with sales expected to begin on September 25. There’s no word yet on whether it will be released in other markets. This Special Edition foldable is positioned as a premium alternative within Samsung’s foldable lineup, building on the success of the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
