Samsung Galaxy Z Fold SE reaches China as W25, W25 Flip also debuts

Samsung just launched the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition in China but under a different name. The foldable is called Samsung W25 and comes with a new redesign. Golden accents can be found everywhere around the phone – the hinge, the frame, and even the camera lenses.

The announcement in China saw two foldables. The second is called W25 Flip and is essentially the Galaxy Z Flip6, but again redesigned along the same lines as the W25.

The W25 (sold in South Korea as Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition) is a much more polished foldable than the globally available Galaxy Z Fold6 with its bigger screen, thinner profile and 200 MP main camera.

Originally launched with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage, the variant in China even comes in a 1TB version.

The W25 Flip is exactly like the Galaxy Z Flip6 – Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chipset, 12 GB RAM and 256 GB or 512 GB storage, 25W charging.

Both devices come in a Black Gold Premium Gift Box with a 25W charger and case made from faux leather.

Samsung China is yet to announce the prices for these two foldables. We expect the W25 to start from CNY16,999 (that's around $2,400/€2,200), while the W25 Flip should cost at least CNY9,999 ($1,400/€1,300). These phones are highly unlikely to ever be launched outside China.

I've seen a fair amount of videos modifying folds into Ws, but if that's not commonly done then I stand corrected

Success for a phone this expensive would be sales of three digits
