Samsung has launched its new W26 foldable phone in China. This phone is part of Samsung’s special W-series, and it looks and works a lot like the famous Galaxy Z Fold 7. But the W26 comes with extra power, more memory, and a different feature — direct satellite connectivity! Let’s take a closer look at what makes this foldable mobile so exciting.
Price and Availability
The Samsung W26 is available in two models in China:
- 16GB + 512GB version priced at CNY 16,999 (around ₹2,11,600)
- 16GB + 1TB version priced at CNY 18,999 (around ₹2,36,500)
You can buy it from the Samsung China website in two stunning color choices:

Big Display and Powerful Performance
The Samsung W26 features a large 8-inch AMOLED foldable display inside, with super clear QXGA+ resolution. On the outside, it has a 6.5-inch Full HD+ cover screen that refreshes at 120Hz, making it smooth and bright — even up to 2,600 nits!
The phone runs on a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor — one of the fastest chips in the world. It comes with 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage, so users can store photos, games, and apps without worry. The phone runs on Android 16 with Samsung’s One UI 8, which includes cool Galaxy AI features like Smart Gathering, Smart Drag and Drop, and Smart Password Manager.
Camera and Connectivity
The Samsung W26 has an amazing 200-megapixel main camera, perfect for taking sharp, detailed photos. It also has a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera for zoom shots. For selfies, there’s a 10MP camera on the inside display and additional 10MP camera on the cover screen.
One of the W26’s most special features is straight satellite connectivity. This means the phone can make calls or send messages even when there’s no mobile signal, using China’s Tiantong satellite system.
It also supports 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, and comes with a USB Type-C port. The phone has a solid Armor Aluminum frame and a side fingerprint sensor for easy cracking.
Battery and Build
The Samsung W26 packs a 4,400mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging. It weighs 215 grams, and when folded, it’s compact and easy to carry.
With its big screen, powerful cameras, and satellite support, the Samsung W26 is one of the most advanced foldable mobiles ever made!
