Samsung's Galaxy W27 is a gold-trimmed foldable for China that costs about $2,800 and offers little over the Fold 8 Ultra that US buyers can get for less.
Samsung has released one more foldable for 2026, the Galaxy W27. It is sold only in China, and it costs about $2,800. It is basically a dressed-up version of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which sells for less.
The W27 is built on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and shares its main specs. That includes an 8-inch inner screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and a 200MP main camera. The differences are mostly looks and extras.
The starting price is CNY 18,999, or around $2,800. The 1TB version is CNY 21,999, or around $3,300. By comparison, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra with 1TB of storage sells for $2,699.
The W27 is aimed at buyers in China who want a special edition. For anyone else, the standard Fold 8 Ultra gives the same core phone for less money. The material does not say whether Samsung plans to sell the W27 outside China. Samsung has also said it has bigger plans for its foldable lineup in 2027.
The Galaxy W27 is a pricey China-only version of the Fold 8 Ultra, and the regular model is the better deal.
