Samsung confirms likely Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition launch date

Samsung has finally confirmed a launch date for what looks like its next foldable smartphone: Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition. Previous rumours suggested this will be sold as the Samsung W25 in China, but there's no word about a global launch yet. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition will get revealed on October 21, effectively confirming rumours about a late October reveal.

Sales should commence in the coming days. You're not missing out on much, as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition is said to be a thinner Galaxy Z Fold 6. At 10 mm thin, it is certainly one of the thinnest foldables Samsung has ever made, but it is still a few mm off the Honor Magic V3.

Aesthetically, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition stands out from its peers with a new camera module. Whether or not it comes with new camera sensors is unknown. However, the phone is said to lack an under-display camera and S Pen support, two features that may have been sacrificed for its thin profile.
