Samsung may start taking pre-orders for a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition later this month.
Rumors had earlier associated that branding with a new, thinner version of the Z Fold 6.
It’s as of yet unclear if this is the same hardware, or maybe just a limited color option.
Competition is starting to get fierce in the foldables (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-foldable-phones-922793/) market. It’s no longer simply enough for a manufacturer to prove it can successfully build a phone like this — you’ve got to build one better and fancier than all the other players. That’s bringing us not just crazy designs like triple-screen foldables (https://www.androidauthority.com/huawei-mate-xt-hands-on-3483398/), but also some with incredibly slim profiles, rivaling even non-folding hardware. For months now, we’ve been hearing rumors that Samsung could be working on a super-thin version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-6-review-3463361/), and now some new evidence gives us maybe our best guess yet at when we could hope to see it debut — or not.
While we’ve been talking about this phone all summer, no one’s seemed to be able to agree on how to identify it. Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra? Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim? Back in late August we heard that the phone might instead be branded as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-6-slim-ultra-new-name-3475891/). Now some very similar branding has popped up in promotional imagery from a South Korean retailer, advertising Special Edition pre-orders opening next month, and shared by X user sawtooth special edition (https://x.com/negativeonehero/status/1840657704513331267) (via 91mobiles (https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-6-special-edition-release-date-leaked-india-listing/)).
