Samsung fans in China have gotten two new foldable smartphones in the form of the Samsung W25 and Samsung W25 Flip. The two devices, which are available to pre-order now, join the already announced Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 (available on Amazon for $1,219.99) which are also sold in China.
The Samsung W25 arrives as the Chinese equivalent of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition that was announced in South Korea last month. Boasting larger displays, a 200MP main camera, and 16GB of RAM, the Samsung W25 has gold accents which can be found on the frame, around the rear cameras, and on the hinge. It is also available in 1TB version unlike the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition which only comes with 512GB of storage.

It is also available in 1TB version unlike the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition which only comes with 512GB of storage. Samsung ships the W25 in China with a power adapter, albeit a 25W one, and a protective case.
The W25 Flip on the other hand differs from the Galaxy Z Flip 6 on a cosmetic level with its gold trim around the cameras, hinge, and frame. Like the Samsung W25, it has an IP48 dust and water resistance rating, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, support for 25W wired charging, and a ceramic back panel instead of Gorilla Glass Victus 2 like their Galaxy Z counterparts.
Samsung has begun accepting pre-orders for the two devices in China ahead of their release on November 15. The Samsung W25 has a starting price of ¥15,999 (~$2,229/€2,080) for the 16GB RAM + 512GB version while the 16GB RAM + 1TB variant costs ¥17,999 (~$2,507/€2,340).
The Samsung W25 Flip is only available in one configuration which has 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It is priced at ¥9,999 (~$1,393/€1,300), ¥2,000 (~$279/€260) more than the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
