The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition was officially introduced a few days ago. The phone arrived as a refined version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. It features a much slimmer design and improved main cameras than the previous Fold. The company has launched the device in South Korea only at the moment. On September 25, the brand held the first sale of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition. It appears that the new foldable is quite popular as it was sold out quickly in the first sale in Korea.
Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition has been received very well
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition has sparked a frenzy among South Korean smartphone buyers. The phone’s first batch sold out within 10 minutes of the sale starting on September 25. Just 10 minutes after the sale began, the product page of the device stated “All prepared stock has been sold out”.
Furthermore, the page mentions that “we will notify you when additional stock is available”. However, the company didn’t provide a specific timeframe for the new stock’s availability at the moment.
Special Edition’s sale started with a 7-hour delay, triggering rumors of quality concerns
The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition’s first sale in Korea started with a 7-hour delay. This triggered rumors of quality concerns, but these were just rumors. The company was reportedly conducting an assessment of the quantities of the device. A Samsung representative explained, “The delay was due to time needed to assess production quantities and decide on the amount to release”. The company said there were no quality concerns.
It’s quite clear that the South Korean smartphone buyers are quite crazy for the Special Edition foldable smartphone from Samsung. The newly updated version has clearly received a warm welcome due to its much slimmer 10.6mm waistline in the folded mode. It is also slightly lighter than the vanilla Z Fold 6. Given the popularity, we can expect the brand to offer higher quantities of the phone in the next sale soon.
