Samsung Galaxy Z Fold SE sold out China in hours!

Samsung W25 and W25 Flip

In a shocking development, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold SE has been sold out in China. It’s quite stunning as the company has a presence in the Chinese smartphone market. It seems the Special Edition is bringing special happiness to Samsung.

Earlier, Samsung sold out two stocks of the Galaxy Z Fold SE in South Korea. The first sale started late last month, while the second sale was held earlier this month. Both stocks were sold out within minutes, revealing the craze for the new foldable.

Even in the highly competitive Chinese market, the first batch of sales sold out in just a short time, signaling strong interest. Both the W25 and W25 Flip had their first batch of pre-orders sell out within just three hours of sales beginning.

Samsung also announced that the pre-sold units will be officially released on November 15. Since these are limited edition models, it’s reported that stock was quite limited. Pricing of the new foldable phones is as follows:

  • Samsung W25 (Z Fold SE) – 17,999 yuan (~ $2500)
  • Samsung W25 Flip (Z Flip 6) – 9,999 yuan (~ $1400)

Samsung’s W25 selling in China is based on the Galaxy Z Fold SE. When folded, its thickness is 10.6mm, and when unfolded, it’s 4.9mm. Due to the metallic frame at the hinge, the W25 is 19g heavier than the Fold SE (which weighs 236g), coming in at 255g.

IDC reported that Samsung held a 7.7% share in the third quarter in China. However, experts believe that the success of the W25 is unlikely to lead to significant growth given the limited quantity of units and the relatively small consumer base.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Magnetic cases

Samsung is ready to introduce a new type of case for the upcoming Galaxy S25 series. Leaked details from a Finland retailer show that Magnetic Cases will be available for the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra.

As per the information, the Magnetic Cases for the Galaxy S25 series will work with Qi2 wireless charging. The cases will be available in transparent color for all three models. These cases will not only support wireless charging but also align magnetically with Qi2-compatible chargers.

A recent report claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra will support Qi2. This means that these upcoming Samsung phones will be able to charge wirelessly as Qi2 features magnetic alignment. Now, the new Magnetic cases leak again shows the Qi2 support for the Galaxy S25 series.

Qi2 is a new standard for wireless charging, and it includes a feature called Magnetic Power Profile (MPP), which helps align the phone perfectly with wireless chargers. It also supports magnetic accessories like cases, wallets, and pop sockets, which can attach to your phone easily.

Samsung is expected to include Qi2 support in its upcoming S series, which would make these cases more convenient for those who use magnetic accessories. However, there’s a limitation for charging speed which is 15W.

The wireless charging speed is slower compared to the 25W and 45W wired charging speeds these phones are expected to support. The Galaxy S25 will reportedly support 25W fast charging, while the Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra could charge even faster at 45W. Stay tuned for more information.
