Samsung W23 5G and W23 Flip have debuted in China today. Both the latest offerings are luxury custom variants of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 respectively. The Galaxy W23 5G also arrives as the successor to the last year’s W22 5G. The South Korean brand says that it has launched a new W-series device every year since 2008. 

The biggest difference between the Samsung W23 duo and the fourth-generation Galaxy Z Foldables is in terms of design. Both the W23 and W23 Flip feature gold-plated edges and hinges. The brand says that the W23 duo’s hinge shell adopts a high-end watch metal precision cutting process and is carved by nano-level polishing. The new hinge structure is also said to be thinner and more flexible. The hinge shell also has an embossed metal pattern that looks dazzling. Both the W23 and W23 Flip come with the logo in the centre that reads ‘Heart to the world’. The colour scheme on the latest offerings is also the same as the W22 5G with a Black colour back panel. 

Apart from design changes, the core specifications of the Samsung W23 5G and W23 Flip remain the same as the fourth-generation Galaxy Z foldables. However, the brand has bumped up the RAM and internal storage. The W23 has an internal screen of 7.6-inches and a triple rear camera setup of a 50MP main sensor, 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and 12MP telephoto unit. There is also a 4MP UDC snapper along with a 10MP shooter. The Samsung W23 and W23 Flip both come with a 6.7-inch main AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. 

The Samsung W23 5G and W23 Flip are equipped with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processors. The former is paired with 16GB RAM whereas the latter maxes out at 12GB. Both pack 512GB of internal storage. The W23 5G and W23 Flip are backed by 4,400mAh and 3,700mAh battery units respectively. 

The Samsung W23 5G is priced at RMB 15,999 (~$ 2,207) for the 16GB + 512GB option. The W23 Flip costs RMB 9,999 (~$ 1,379) for the 12GB + 512GB variant. Both devices are up for pre-orders from Samsung’s official website with shipments commencing from October 28th.
