Samsung W Series is to Release on 15 September: Expected Samsung W24 Flip

Samsung's W series launch conference will be held in China on 15 September, the Suwon-based business stated on Friday (1 September). While Samsung has only said the W series, we can expect it to contain the Samsung W24 and Samsung W24 Flip, which will be the successors to the Samsung W23 and W23 Flip, respectively. The forthcoming devices are expected to be customised versions of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. The design of the Chinese variations may be similar to the devices sold in India, with minor hardware-level tweaks.

Samsung W series launch

The Samsung W series launch conference is slated for 15 September. According to a teaser poster the company provided (in Chinese) on Weibo, the debut ceremony will take place in China at the Chengdu High and New Sports Centre.

The Samsung W24 and Samsung W24 Flip will likely debut as rebranded versions of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 at the event. Unlike last year's Samsung W23 and W23 Flip, they will be offered only in China and will not be available abroad. The Chinese variations of the foldable typically have better specifications than their worldwide counterparts and a modified design that features a China-specific theme.
