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.

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.
