Galaxy Z Fold SE Price & Availability
The Galaxy Z Fold SE is available in Korea through Samsung.com and carrier stores. Sales began on October 25, with pop-up stores in major department stores offering hands-on experiences.
Customers activating the phone by December 31 will receive discounts on accessories like the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Watch Ultra.
With a slimmer design, 200MP camera, and high-end features, the Galaxy Z Fold SE sets a new standard for foldables.
However, its limited availability and timing—just months after the Galaxy Z Fold 6—raise questions about Samsung’s product strategy. Is this the future of foldables or just a regional experiment?
