Expectations have come true and Samsung has launched a special edition of the Galaxy Z Fold folding smartphone on the domestic Korean market, which is thinner than the classic “six” and offers improved cameras.
The thinnest Galaxy Fold in history
Novelty Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition it comes in at 10.6mm thick and weighs 236g, making it 1.5mm thinner and 3g lighter than its older sibling. For the first time, a camera with a 200 MP sensor is used in a smartphone with a flexible display. It is equipped with 16 GB of operating memory, so you don’t have to worry about its lack when multitasking with demanding applications.
The internal display received an 8-inch diagonal (vs. 7.6″ Fold6) with an aspect ratio of 20:18, making it the widest screen in the Fold series. The external 6.5-inch display received a 21:9 aspect ratio, so it is larger and slightly wider than the Fold6. Using it in the closed state will be more comfortable. Once again, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 tuned specifically for Galaxy devices will take care of the performance. The battery has a capacity of 4,400 mAh.
