Leaked images of what appears to be a special edition of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 have surfaced, offering a few glimpses of the upcoming foldable phone. While the images don’t reveal the complete picture, they confirm some key design elements and hint at potential color options. These images were posted on X by Evan Blass and later mentioned by Android Headlines.

One image showcased shows a prominent rear camera bump housing three lenses. While this confirms a triple-camera setup, it seems that a periscope telephoto lens won’t be included, potentially disappointing those hoping for enhanced zoom capabilities.

A second image focuses on the phone’s right edge, revealing a power button alongside the volume rocker that likely doubles as a fingerprint sensor. The frame appears to be flat, which could offer a more comfortable grip and improved durability.

Perhaps most intriguingly, the leaked images suggest the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition will be available in at least two color options: a classic dark hue and a striking gold option. This bold gold finish could be a way for Samsung to differentiate the special edition from the standard model and appeal to those seeking a more luxurious aesthetic.

A month ago, Android Headlines became the first website to post designs for the new device. At the time, it seemed to confirm that Samsung was working on a Galaxy Z Fold version with a brushed metal back to give it a more rugged look. That appears to be confirmed in the new photos.

The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition is anticipated to be revealed before the end of the year. Similar to the standard models, it will likely feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. However, those hoping to purchase the new phone may face disappointment, as Samsung is expected to launch it exclusively in China and South Korea.

Ask YouTube expands to mobile, web, and TVs across the US
YouTube’s AI search is now available across all major screens.
Ask YouTube on TV and desktop

Searching for something online by simply describing what you want is becoming pretty normal now. Google Search can do it. ChatGPT can do it. And YouTube has been slowly turning its own search box into something that works in a similar fashion.

YouTube has now announced a wider rollout for Ask YouTube, its conversational AI search tool. The feature is available to users in the U.S. across the web, mobile devices, and TVs. Mobile is the newest addition here, after Ask YouTube previously expanded to the web and smart TVs. Instead of putting a few keywords into the search bar, you can ask YouTube a complete question, describe what you are looking for, and then refine the results using follow-up questions.

OnePlus 16 lands with some insane perks. Alas, you can’t get it in the US
The OnePlus 16 pushes battery, display, and performance specs to new extremes, but it is staying out of the US.
OnePlus 16 all colors

OnePlus has launched the OnePlus 16 in China, and there are some wild numbers on the spec sheet. A 9,000mAh battery. A display that can hit 185Hz. A Snapdragon chip crossing the 5GHz mark. Even the main camera has jumped to 200MP. Sadly, none of it matters much if you are in the US. The OnePlus 16 is not officially available here, so American buyers will have to admire all this hardware from afar.

The battery situation is frankly ridiculous
