Watch our Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition video
The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is an improved version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. It has bigger screens, and the cover screen's aspect ratio is much closer to that of a normal, slab-style smartphone.
Moreover, the inner foldable screen measures 8 inches diagonally and has a squarer aspect ratio compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The phone feels more like a regular smartphone when you are using it folded. When unfolded, you can use two apps side by side in an aspect ratio that you are accustomed to.
The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition has a 200MP primary rear camera, offering a Galaxy S24 Ultra-like image and video quality. However, that also makes the phone's camera bump bigger. So, it rocks more on a flat surface compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The other two cameras remain similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but the 12MP ultrawide camera now has autofocus. It means the phone can focus at a shorter distance for much better macro shots. Samsung has added the Focus Enhancer feature to the Z Fold Special Edition.
The other smaller changes include no support for S Pen on the inner screen, Wi-Fi 7, 16GB RAM, and a regular 4MP internal selfie camera (versus a 4MP under-display camera on Z Fold 6).
The Z Fold Special Edition is lighter (236g) and thinner (10.6mm) than the Z Fold 6 but comes in only one color. It uses an Armor Aluminum frame and not titanium, as some rumors had suggested.
