We know that Samsung is working on a Special Edition Galaxy foldable, though no official details have been released yet. However, an X (formerly Twitter) user shared an image from a Korean retailer, T-store, revealing the estimated pre-order date for the device.
Tentative Z Fold 6 (Special Edition) release leaks
The image from the retailer shows that the pre-order period will run until October 24, 2024, with pre-orders likely opening on October 18. Delivery is expected to begin on October 25.
More importantly, the image lists the phone’s name as the “Galaxy Z Fold 6 (Special Edition)” – not “Galaxy Z Fold (Special Edition)” as hinted by previous leaks. So the device still seems to be a part of Samsung’s sixth-generation foldable line.
However, since this information comes from a third-party retailer, it may not be entirely accurate. It’s best to take it with a grain of salt.
It could also be that it’s not the Special Edition phone we’ve been expecting of Samsung since a “Special Edition” labeled Galaxy Z Fold 6 appeared on the Samsung India website, which actually is an Enterprise Galaxy Z Fold 6. Samsung just named it “Special Edition” on their Indian site, which may lead to confusion.
What’s revealed so far
While we are still left without any official detail from Samsung’s side, leaks have shown a render of the foldable with a larger camera island on the back compared to the regular fold. The camera module has a squircle shape instead of the usual oval.
The rest of the design appears to follow Samsung’s typical style. The power button, likely doubling as a fingerprint sensor, is on the right side, with the volume rocker positioned above it.
The rear panel has a brushed metal appearance, unlike the matte finish on the Fold 6, though it could be textured glass designed to feel like metal.
As for the specs, reports suggest the Z Fold Special Edition will feature a larger 6.5-inch cover display and an 8-inch inner foldable panel, slightly bigger than the Fold 6’s 6.3-inch cover and 7.6-inch inner screen.
