Samsung will release its W23 foldable phones in China this month

As is tradition, Samsung will rename the Galaxy Z Fold 4 for China using the “W” branding. The revamped model is called the Samsung W23 5G and will be going on sale through China Telecom. According to a poster leaked recently, Samsung and China Telecom will bring the W23 to the masses on October 21.

A W-branded version of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 should be released on the same day

In addition to the rebranded Galaxy Z Fold 4, Samsung seemingly plans to release the Galaxy Z Flip 4 in China under the W23 Flip brand. It, too, should be announced on October 21, but pricing details — for both phones — are presently missing.

According to previous rumors, Samsung might upgrade the W23 series for China with more RAM. Both phones might be available with 16GB of RAM to have a better chance of competing with local brands that have a higher focus on sheer numbers.

Samsung has a minuscule market share in China. But, there aren't too many foldable devices from which to choose, generally speaking, so the W-series could give the Korean tech giant an edge over the competition. We'll have to wait a little longer to see what the W23 and W23 Flip can offer Chinese customers. Stay tuned.
