hello. This is Technologytodaynow. Not long ago, the Galaxy Fold SE was released, and I’m going to summarize it briefly.
Galaxy Fold SE Key Features and Release Information
Galaxy Fold SE Display
The Galaxy Fold SE has the largest screen of the Fold series to date. The internal display measures 8.0 inches with a 20:18 aspect ratio, making it the widest screen in the Z Fold series, while the external display measures 6.5 inches with a 21:9 ratio, making it similar in width to a bar-shaped smartphone.
Reduced thickness and weight
As previously rumored, the phone measures 10.6mm when folded, 1.5mm thinner than the Fold 6, and weighs 236g, 3g lighter than the Fold 6.
Powered by Snapdragon 8 3rd Gen chipset
The Galaxy Fold SE comes with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. It’s the same as the chipset used in the Fold 6, but it’s available in a single model of 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Not long ago, the Snapdragon Summit, which unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Elite, was held, and there was a wish that it would be installed in time for the launch of the Galaxy Fold SE, but it feels unfortunate that it will be equipped with the same chipset as the previous model. However, I’m glad that the RAM capacity has increased from 12GB to 16GB.
Camera performance
The main camera finally has 200MP. In addition, it is equipped with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and the ultra-wide-angle camera in particular supports autofocus. However, it is a bit unfortunate that the 10MP 3X telephoto camera is installed, but not the 5X telephoto camera. Since the main camera is 200MP, it can support up to 3X by cropping it with this, and it would be a shame if it was equipped with a separate 5X lens.
Other features
Other features are summarized below.
- Frame: with armored aluminum frame
- External display: Gorilla Glass Victors 2
- Battery: 4,400 mAh, same as the Fold 6
Launch pricing and benefits
The Galaxy Fold SE is priced at $2,789,600 for the 512GB model.
Purchases include a discount coupon for the Galaxy Ring, Buzz 3 Pro, Galaxy Watch Ultra, or Tab S10 Ultra, but we won’t know if additional discounts will be available until the 25th.
Release date and purchase information
The Galaxy Fold SE will be available for purchase through Tida Shop, KT.com, and Youple.com starting October 25 at 9 a.m., and pop-up stores will be open for two weeks at major department stores nationwide starting the same day. So if you want to get your hands on the product, we recommend visiting after the 25th.
Finalize
So far, we’ve learned about the key features of the Galaxy Fold SE that was released not long ago and its launch information. It’s my personal opinion, but overall, I feel like it’s a shame, because there doesn’t seem to be much improvement over the existing Fold 6 such as a battery or chipset, and the thickness isn’t as thin as the Chinese foldable phone, so it doesn’t seem like there’s a big enough change to take four months after the Fold 6 launch.
