Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition Sells Out in Korea in 10 Minutes, Sparking a Buying Frenzy

Samsung recently released the Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition phone, which went on sale in South Korea on October 25th. The upgraded foldable phone seems to be a hit with Korean consumers, selling out completely in just 10 minutes. Citing an official Samsung announcement, Sammyfans reported that the Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition's sale in Korea was delayed by 7 hours from the original schedule. It sold out within 10 minutes of going on sale and remains out of stock on Samsung's Korean website. A notification at the top of the website reads: "All prepared inventory has been sold out."

Samsung likely didn't prepare enough Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition stock initially, as they also need to sell the regular Galaxy Z Fold6 model. However, it's easy to understand why consumers are eager to buy the Special Edition. Compared to the regular model, it boasts a thinner and lighter design and a more powerful camera system. Additionally, the Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition comes with 16GB of RAM, offering improved multitasking and AI performance compared to the standard model's 12GB RAM. Another key difference is the phone's support for Wi-Fi7, providing faster connection speeds than the Galaxy Z Fold6s Wi-Fi6e.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition retails for 2789600 Korean Won (approximately 14486 Chinese Yuan) in South Korea, equipped with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Unfortunately, Samsung has not yet brought this device to other markets.

The Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition's strong sales in Korea reflect not only the continued consumer interest in foldable phones but also Samsung's strong brand influence in the high-end phone market. The launch of this special edition also points to new directions for the future of foldable phones. Whether Samsung can meet the growing global demand and bring it to a wider market remains to be seen.
