Samsung is supposedly going to launch a "Special Edition" version of the Galaxy Z Fold6 as soon as next week. This thinner version of the book-style foldable has been rumoured for a while. But we haven't heard any launch details until now. Financial News, a South Korean publication, reports that the Galaxy Z Fold6 will launch on October 25.

The report reiterates this version will have a thinner 10.6mm profile and larger 6.5-inch and 8-inch displays. A recent device leak showed a new camera module, a gold accent on the frame, and a "brushed" design finish on the back. If it does launch though, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition might not be available outside of China.

The rumours were true! The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 boasts a redesigned form factor that addresses many user pain points.

Folded shut, the Galaxy Z Fold6 now resembles the S24 Ultra with a sleek matte finish and straighter edges that feel comfortable to hold. Unfolded, the expansive 7.6-inch inner display transforms into a mobile powerhouse for work and play.

According to a Korean report, Samsung is targeting a shockingly low price of around US$800 (around CA$1,084) for this model. That's a significant drop from the current Fold's CA$2,399 price tag and even undercuts the Galaxy Z Flip series' CA$1,299 cost.
