Samsung is expected to unveil a thinner version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, featuring a slimmer profile, a bigger screen, and a better camera. It was earlier rumored that Samsung would launch that phone this month. Now, the exact Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition launch date has been reported, and it could be accurate.

Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition could be launched in October 2024

According to a report from FNNews, Samsung will announce the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition on October 25, 2024. With this phone, the South Korean firm will aim to match Chinese brands in screen size and thinness. The report claims that the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is 4.9mm thin when unfolded and 10.6mm thin when folded. That is an improvement over the Galaxy Z Fold 6's 5.6mm and 12.1mm figures.

The device is rumored to be strong, and it reportedly has several Galaxy AI features. It could feature the same IP48 dust and water resistance rating as the Galaxy Z Fold 6. With this phone, Samsung wants to shake off consumer perception that it can't make foldable phones thin enough. It wants to show the world that it can make durable, thin, and high-specced foldable smartphones.

Previous reports claim that Samsung increased the size of the cover screen from 6.3 inches on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 to 6.5 inches on the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition. The inner screen is said to be 8 inches diagonally, up from the Galaxy Z Fold 6's 7.6-inch inner screen. Moreover, the device is rumored to feature a 200MP primary rear camera, while the other cameras could remain similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Its foldable smartphone market share dropped to 23%, trailing behind Huawei's 35% market share. Honor, Motorola, and OPPO reportedly have 12%, 11%, and 8% market shares, respectively.
