One of the reasons why that sounds more appropriate to us than a Z Fold 6 Slim label is because the “special edition” device is likely to bring more notable improvements to the table compared to the “regular” Z Fold 6 than just a thinner profile.

Unfortunately, this almost guaranteed improvement (as it is revealed by probably the most reputable mobile tech leaker out there) makes us even more pessimistic regarding the recommended price of the Z Fold Special Edition, aka Z Fold 6 Slim. Meanwhile, the odds of ever being able to buy the device in the US or Europe remain slim to non-existent.

On the other hand, the Z Fold Special Edition could eclipse the Magic V3 (as well as the OnePlus Open) in the screen size department, apparently jumping from the Fold 6’s 7.6 and 6.3-inch panels all the way up to 8 and 6.5 inches.
That’s a lot of screen real estate, which may require a lot of battery power to stay on for a satisfactory amount of time between charges. For now, there are no words on the handset’s cell capacity (or any other upgrades over the Z Fold 6 apart from the ones discussed here), but something tells us Evan Blass has more information to share in the next few hours, so keep an ear to the ground and your eyes peeled on social media (and our own little website).
