Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition (SE) could be coming sooner rather than later. A recent leak on X suggests the phone could release on October 21st. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE is rumored to be slimmer and have a larger display than the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The leak, posted by a reliable leaker known as Ice Universe on X, shows an invitation from Samsung for an October 21st event. While the video doesn’t explicitly state that it’s for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE, all eyes are on it as the company is done with its other releases this year already, like the Galaxy S24 FE.
It’s important to note this event does not appear to be a Galaxy Unpacked event like Samsung held in the summer for the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Watch Ultra, and Galaxy Ring. According to Tom’s Guide, it’s also unclear whether there are any plans to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE outside of South Korea and China.

Samsung could be making some improvements to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE
Leaks suggest Samsung has worked to improve the visible crease line on the foldable phone
The new Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition is rumored to fix some of the issues users had with the original Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Notably, the crease line that is visible on the foldable phone. Another post from Ice Universe on X, seems to suggest that Samsung has done a better job managing the crease line on the foldable phone.
A bigger screen could also be coming to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE. The foldable phone is rumored to have an 8-inch internal display and a 6.5-inch external display. This would be a slight increase over the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which has a 7.6-inch internal display and a 6.3-inch external display. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE is also reportedly thinner with a titanium frame.
Given the improvements the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE might have, I hope the phone gets a global release.
