Shocking! Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE listed in India, Korea launch date leaked
Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE is briefly listed on the Samsung India site. The company’s upcoming foldable phone comes with a thinner design over the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6. The handset was rumored to be exclusive to China and South Korea.
The phone’s India listing revealed its official promo images and confirmed colors. The device will launch in two colors – Crafted Black and White, with memory configurations that could include 12GB RAM + 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage.
The immature listing shows the SM-F956B model number and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip used. Samsung will also equip it with Galaxy AI – similar to the Z Fold 6. The Special Edition could sport a 19.32 cm QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2x display.
Anyway, what it did apparently say was that pre-orders for the device in Korea will start on October 18 and end on October 24 ahead of the phone’s release on October 25. So perhaps the September 25 leak got the date right, just not the month.

IceUniverse reports that Samsung may adjust the Galaxy S26 series. It is said that the vanilla model could be canceled as it is no longer competitive. The reason is the aggressive marketing approach by Chinese phone makers.
OPPO and vivo are preparing to unveil their small flagship phones. The tipster says these handsets feature better specs than Samsung and Apple. The latter has iOS as an edge over rivals, but Samsung would lag in the future.
The next year’s Galaxy S lineup will debut three models as usual. The rumor regarding the S26 series is like an assumption judging from the product strategy. Meanwhile, Samsung has continued to upgrade the specs of the S Plus models.
