Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition has landed – but it’s keeping secrets!

October 22, 2024

It has been just a few months since Samsung launched its Galaxy Z Fold 6 to the market and the company is here with a Special Edition already. For now, the announcement of availability has been made only for South Korea. In this article, we will talk in-depth about the specifications of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition.

Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition Overview

Design and Display

The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition showcases a sleek, minimalist design with a sophisticated matt black finish. At the back, it features a clean triple-camera setup arranged vertically, while maintaining a slim profile. The thickness of this phone is 10.6mm, weighing 236g, 1.5mm thin, and it is 3g light when compared to the Galaxy Z Fold6.

The inner and outer displays have increased slightly in size, now measuring 8.0 inches and 6.5 inches, up from 7.6 and 6.3 inches. As a result, the device is a bit taller and wider when folded or unfolded.

Performance

Samsung’s processors are like a movie with a great trailer but an average plot – plenty of hype, but when you dig in, it’s just okay chipsets in action! This time the company has used Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (thankfully) built on a 4nm processor.

This features one Cortex-X4, 3 Cortex-A720 (3.15 GHz), 2 Cortex-A720 (2.96 GHz), and 2 Cortex-A520 alongside an Adreno 750. Also, the new Z fold is paired with 16GB of memory.

Camera and Rest

On the bright side, for the first time in the Galaxy Z series, this smartphone is equipped with a wide-angle camera of 200 million pixels – an impressive jump from 50 megapixels on the normal Z Fold! But Samsung has opted not to remove the under-display selfie camera and instead ships the Z Fold SE with one inside a punch hole. Moreover, it will be coupled with some AI features too.

The battery remains at 4,272 mAh, the same as the Z Fold 6, so the larger screen may lead to slightly reduced battery life.

Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition Price in Nepal

Unfortunately, it looks like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition won’t be making its debut in Nepal anytime soon. The phone will launch in South Korea with a price tag of 2,789,600 KRW, and while there’s a slim possibility of it being released in China later, it’s not on the radar for here just yet. But if we were to take a guess, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition Price in Nepal would likely turn out in the ballpark of NPR 275,000.
