While it was known that Samsung has been working on a Special Edition of its Galaxy Z Fold 6, the exact release date or other official details were under wraps, until now. To everyone’s surprise, the smartphone suddenly appeared on Samsung India’s website this week. It understandably sparked curiosity among fans and tech enthusiasts likewise.
The listing on the Samsung India website doesn’t reveal many details though.
Upon checking the listing, it was found that the specs and images displayed are identical to the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The model number on the listing page is SM-F956BAKDINS, which also matches the regular version of the foldable phone. This managed to keep the curiosity alive along with plenty of room for speculations about what makes this “Special Edition” different.
Among the details that we know now include the device’s official name. It is “Galaxy Z Fold 6 (Special Edition)” and not what was previously reported as “Galaxy Z Fold (Special Edition).”
We can also assume that the Fold 6 Special Edition might be available in more markets beyond just South Korea and China since the webpage appeared on Samsung India’s website.
