Samsung fans interested in the Galaxy Z Fold series may be curious about the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition (SE), which is arriving this Friday, October 25. However, this smartphone will only reach stores in Korea and China.
The Galaxy Z Fold SE is 1.5mm thinner and three grams lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which has a thickness of 1.6mm and weighs 236g. The inner and outer screens are 8 and 6.5 inches respectively. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s screens are 7.6 and 6.3 inches.
While the Galaxy Fold 6 has 12GB of RAM, the Galaxy Z Fold SE will have 16GB of RAM, which allows it to perform better in AI tasks thanks to Samsung’s Galaxy AI. These tasks include real-time conversation interpretation, image editing, audio summarization, and transcription functions. Samsung’s goal is to help users “unleash” their creativity with these and other functions.
The last notable change is the rear camera. The special edition rear sensor has been upgraded from the standard model’s 50 megapixels to 200 megapixels, which is sure to appeal to smartphone photography enthusiasts.
Samsung has quoted a price of 2,789,600 won for the Galaxy Z Fold SE, which is about $2,025. No sources mention the Chinese price at the moment. The Galaxy Fold SE is basically the same as the other Galaxy Z Fold models, but it’s currently the thinnest and lightest. If you’re not in Korea or China, it’s more challenging to buy, but maybe Samsung will change that in the future.
If you’re a Prime member, you can save $50 on the recently released ColorSoft Kindle, also known as the first Kindle with color. This is the first discount since this model launched.
We encountered a “yellow band” issue with our review unit, but we later received an updated reader for which Amazon made “appropriate adjustments” to solve the problem. The software and display adjustments the company implemented worked — and we actually liked the overall effect better. Check out our review for the full story.
The Chipolo One Point came out shortly after Google launched its Find My Device feature, a crowd-sourced finding network that relies on other Android phones to track down your lost belongings (a bit like Apple’s Find My function). It’s currently our favorite Bluetooth tracker for Android.
We liked how easy it was to set up and how loud it is. Plus, unlike AirTags, it has a hole, so attaching the tracker to a key ring is simple. Also at Amazon. Chipolo is also selling a pack combining its wallet and two standard One trackers for $52.
