Samsung has a Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition handset for the Korean market other than the regular Galaxy Z Fold 6. For the uninformed, the former has bigger displays and is lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The primary camera on the Z Fold Editor is also a new 200MP sensor.

According to the tipster, these features are expected on the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7. Additionally, users can expect a bigger vapor chamber, a faster chip, and better speakers than the special edition handset.

The bigger vapor chamber integration has been witnessed on the recent flagship phones of Samsung, including the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Also, regarding the chip, it will most likely be the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, bringing a tad bit of additional advantage over the non-Galaxy Snapdragon chip.
