Samsung just launched the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition in China but under a different name. The foldable is called Samsung W25 and comes with a new redesign. Golden accents can be found everywhere around the phone – the hinge, the frame, and even the camera lenses. The announcement in China saw two foldables. The second is called W25 Flip and is essentially the Galaxy Z Flip6, but again redesigned along the same lines as the W25.
The W25 (sold in South Korea as Galaxy Z
Fold Special Edition) is a much more polished foldable than the globally
available Galaxy Z Fold6 with its bigger screen, thinner profile and 200 MP
main camera. Originally launched with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage, the variant
in China even comes in a 1TB version. The W25 Flip is exactly like the Galaxy Z
Flip6 – Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chipset, 12 GB RAM and 256 GB or 512 GB
storage, 25W charging.Both devices come in a Black Gold Premium Gift Box with a
25W charger and case made from faux leather.
Samsung China is yet to announce the
prices for these two foldables. We expect the W25 to start from CNY 16,999
(US$ 2,400/€ 2,200), while the W25 Flip should cost at least CNY 9,999
(US$ 1,400/€ 1,300). These phones are highly unlikely to ever be launched outside
China.
