Samsung
has
confirmed
the
launch
of
an
upcoming
Galaxy
device
in
its
home
country
of
South
Korea
next
week.
While
details
remain
unknown,
the
upcoming
unveiling
is
widely
speculated
to
be
of
the
purported
Samsung
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6
Special
Edition,
which
has
been
rumoured
to
be
in
development
for
some
time.
Notably,
this
development
builds
upon
recent
leaks
that
suggested
the
purported
handset
may
feature
a
thinner
design
and
bigger
displays
compared
to
the
standard
model.
Samsung
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6
Special
Edition
Launch
Date
In
a
newsroom
post,
Samsung
South
Korea
announced
that
it
will
showcase
a
new
Galaxy
device
on
October
21.
The
device
is
expected
to
be
the
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6
Special
Edition.
A
teaser
video
has
also
been
posted,
but
doesn’t
show
the
device.
The
company
did
not
reveal
any
details
about
the
purported
device,
however
recent
reports
hint
at
a
redesigned
camera
module
which
may
be
stacked
in
a
rectangular
layout
instead
of
the
pill-shaped
unit
on
the
standard
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6.
Furthermore,
the
foldable
smartphone
could
have
a
thickness
of
10.6mm
when
folded,
compared
to
the
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6’s
12.1mm
thickness
—
translating
into
a
difference
of
just
1.5mm.
It
is
said
to
have
S
Pen
support
and
a
titanium
frame.
In
terms
of
optics,
the
purported
Samsung
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6
Special
Edition
may
sport
a
200-megapixel
primary
camera.
It
is
also
reported
to
be
equipped
with
marginally
bigger
displays,
with
a
claimed
8-inch
internal
and
6.5-inch
outer
display.
For
reference,
the
standard
model
is
equipped
with
a
6.3-inch
internal
and
7.60-inch
external
screen.
However,
unlike
the
standard
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6
which
is
globally
available,
the
special
edition
variant
launched
by
the
South
Korean
technology
conglomerate
is
expected
to
have
limited
availability.
Reports
suggest
will
only
launch
in
two
markets:
China
and
South
Korea.
The
foldable
smartphone
is
tipped
to
first
debut
on
September
25
in
South
Korea
–
the
company’s
home
base.
This
launch
is
said
to
be
followed
by
its
unveiling
in
China
shortly
after.
The
production
numbers
are
likely
to
remain
limited
too,
with
only
4
to
5
lakh
units
of
the
Samsung
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6
Special
Edition
expected
to
be
produced.
