Samsung just released a new foldable that you probably wouldn’t buy even if you could

Samsung has big plans for its foldable lineup in 2027, but also one more release for 2026. The Galaxy W27 just went official as the company’s latest foldable, but you probably wouldn’t want to buy this one even if you could.

The Galaxy W27 continues Samsung’s pattern of releasing a China-exclusive variant of its flagship, book-style foldable. This year, it’s based on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and includes all of the same specs – 8-inch inner display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 200MP main camera, and everything else.

It mostly comes down to the fit and finish. Samsung has given the Galaxy W27 some slick golden accents and two striking color variants. One is a dark red, the other a dark blue. This model also comes with 16GB of RAM as standard, regardless of if you pick the 512GB or 1TB storage options. It’s also optimized for Tiantong satellite comms, SamMobile points out.

But this special edition comes at a cost. It starts at CNY 18,999, around $2,800 USD. The 1TB upgrade lands at CNY 21,999, around $3,300 USD. So, even if you could buy this model, you’d likely be better off going with the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra – even the maxed-out 1TB model sells for less at $2,699. Samsung does include a case and even a charging brick in the box with the Galaxy W27, though.
