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.

Today, Samsung will debut the Galaxy W23 foldable smartphones at 7 PM local time in China. Like the W22 from last year, the W23 5G is also expected to be a luxurious custom variant of the Galaxy Z Flip 4. This time around, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will also join the lineup as the W23 Flip.

Confirming this speculation, a new leak has emerged revealing live images of the Galaxy W23 ahead of launch.

The images reveal that there are no changes to the base design of the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The color scheme is also the same as last year’s Samsung W22 with a polished grey back, a logo in the center that states “Heart to the world,” and gold-plated edges and hinge. One of the images shows a gold-plated back, which could be a variant of the W23.

Similar to the W-series phones from the past, the W23, and W23 Flip will be sold to raise money for charitable causes. Last year, the Samsung W22 5G was launched with a 16,999 Yuan ($2,372) price tag.

Specs-wise, no changes are expected to be made to the devices compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4. So we will likely have the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset powering the W23 and W23 Flip. While the W23 Flip will be a clamshell device with a 6.7-inch foldable screen, the W23 will be a foldable phone with a 7.6-inch folded display.

With a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, the W23 5G is anticipated to include a triple camera arrangement on the rear. There will be a 4-megapixel under-display camera and a 10-megapixel camera on the front.

The Samsung W23 Flip is anticipated to bring a 12-megapixel primary camera and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera.
