Samsung has a launch event set for tomorrow, October 21st. Although the company hasn’t officially confirmed what it’s unveiling, it’s expected to be a new foldable, likely the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition.
We’ve only seen the phone once, in a leaked render from a month ago. However, a new leak has now given us the first live image of the Special Edition Fold.

The leak comes from X (formerly Twitter) user @Jukanlosreve, who shared somewhat blurry images of the upcoming foldable. This particular model is for the Chinese market, where it’s rumored to be called the “Samsung Galaxy W25.”
It’s recognizable because of the distinct logo at the bottom, used for Samsung’s Chinese foldable. In Korea, however, it’s expected to be named the Galaxy Fold Special Edition, its only other market after China.
Unfortunately, the leak doesn’t reveal any specific details about the phone. It’s expected to be thinner than the standard Fold, and the image of the phone folded does make it look slimmer. Still, we can’t confirm its exact thickness.
The unfolded inner display is rumored to be 8 inches, up from the standard Z Fold 6’s 7.6 inches. The outer display is also expected to grow from 6.3 inches to 6.5 inches.
A previous report also suggests that the display crease on the new fold will be less noticeable than in the standard Z Fold 6. If true, that will be a welcome improvement since previous models have made little progress in this area.
Aside from being slim, the new foldable is also rumored to feature a 200MP camera. According to reliable leaker Ice Universe, the camera quality will even surpass that of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. We’ll find out if these rumors hold true in just one day.
