Samsung’s Z Fold Special Edition flagship is here

Samsung just announced the Special Edition model of the Galaxy Z Fold. It’s thinner and a little lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 6 that only recently went on sale, and includes slightly larger displays on the inside and out and a new banded pattern on the back. It also has more memory available for Galaxy AI and an upgraded 200 megapixel wide-angle camera.

Great! Unfortunately, it’s only been announced for South Korea, priced at 2,789,600 KRW or just over $2,000 when it goes on sale Friday, October 25th. And it seems the only other release market will be China.

At 10.6mm and 236 grams, the Galaxy Z Fold SE is 1.5mm thinner and 3 grams lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Memory is now 16GB standard, and the wide-angle sensor has been bumped up from 50 to 200 megapixels. The inner and outer displays are slightly larger as well at 8.0 inches and 6.5 inches, respectively, up from 7.6 and 6.3 inches. That does make the device a little taller and wider to hold when folded or unfolded.

The changes are unlikely to address the concerns we had when reviewing the Galaxy Z Fold 6 this summer. There’s still nothing here that’s meaningfully different in a device category that Samsung helped pioneer. But if you’re looking for a good foldable that’s the best Samsung has to offer, then the Galaxy Z Fold SE is what you’ll want to import.
