Key Points:
- Same Charging Speed: The Chinese Galaxy Z Fold6 variant (W25) boasts 25W wired charging, unchanged from previous models.
- Luxury Redefined: Expect a premium design and top-tier memory options for the W25, exclusive to China Telecom.
- A Foldable Family: Rumors suggest a Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim alongside the standard model, potentially lacking S Pen support.
The highly anticipated launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 is just around the corner, set for July 10th. While whispers about its specifications and design have been swirling, details regarding charging speed and battery life remained shrouded in secrecy. However, a recent certification in China sheds some light on this mystery, particularly for the phone’s Chinese counterpart.
The certification process, conducted by the 3C (CCC – Chinese Compulsory Certification), revealed that the SM-W9025, which will be launched in China as the Samsung W25, will support 25W wired charging. This news comes as a bit of a surprise, as it signifies no improvement in charging speed compared to previous iterations of the Galaxy Z Fold series, dating back to the Fold2 released in September 2020.
The W25 appears to be a more premium version of the standard Galaxy Z Fold6. It’s expected to boast a slightly different design aesthetic and come equipped with the highest available memory configuration. Additionally, the phone will likely be offered exclusively through China Telecom, the nation’s leading carrier. This exclusivity, coupled with the rumored premium design, suggests a price tag that reflects its luxurious positioning. However, it’s highly unlikely that the W25 will be available outside of China.
Following the W25 certification news, industry insider Ice Universe fueled the rumor mill further by hinting at the existence of a “Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim” variant. This potential addition to the foldable family might lack compatibility with the S Pen stylus, a popular feature on the standard Fold models.
With the official unveiling of the Galaxy Z Fold6 series scheduled for next Wednesday, we can finally expect all the mysteries surrounding these devices to be unveiled. This global event will definitively confirm the charging speeds, battery life, and the existence (or non-existence) of the rumored W25 and Z Fold6 Slim variants. So, stay tuned for the official reveal to get the complete picture!
