At the end of October, the green light was given for its commercial release Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition and the first supply of devices sold out in just 10 minutes. Samsung released another batch and it sold out in 5 minutes. Just now the company released the third batch and the same thing happened – all the units were bought in just 6 minutes!
This is despite Samsung producing a larger quantity of Z Fold Special phones for the third batch than the first two, at least that’s what the Korean publication is reporting Newsis. However, the number of units that were in each batch remains a secret.
The Special Edition is still only available in South Korea, although the Chinese market got the Samsung W25, which is the Special Edition with some (mostly cosmetic) changes. The W25 (and the W25 Flip, which is based on the Galaxy Z Flip6) went up for pre-order in China last week and will go on sale on November 15 (this Friday). We doubt we’ll have specific numbers when it comes to units sold with the W phones.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is thinner (10.6mm folded vs. 12.1mm) than the Z Fold6 while having larger screens. It also brings a 200MP primary camera, Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, but misses out on S-Pen support.
At the moment, there’s no indication that Samsung will offer the Z Fold Special Edition (or something similar) in other markets, and as time goes on, the release of the Z Fold7 (which will presumably also have thin design ).
