3. Announcement. Gold-black Samsung W23 and W23 Flip - Fold4 and Flip4 tuning for China

As expected, Samsung launched Samsung W23 tablet smartphone and Samsung W23 Flip foldable smartphone yesterday in China.

Samsung W23

No surprises. The W23 is a tuned version of the Galaxy Z Fold4 announced in August. Well, W23 Flip is an analogue for Galaxy Z Flip4.

Samsung W23 Flip

Differences? Colors, materials, increased amount of RAM.

As in years past (see Samsung W21 and Samsung W22), Chinese top smartphones have a more "rich" appearance than their international counterparts. Similar�, last year's version with golden-black coloring went with a bang, we decided to repeat it.

The

W23 is slightly heavier and larger than its counterpart. Played with materials. Black surfaces "ceramic". Well, W23 Flip in terms of dimensions and weight from Flip4 does not differ one iota.

The RAM in Samsung W23 is as much as 16 GB - this is against 12 GB in the international Fold4. By and large, with such quantities, the difference is not particularly fundamental. But it makes it possible for wealthy Chinese to look down on the pale-faced Laowai, which is worth a lot.

Same as W23 Flip 12 GB of RAM, not the ridiculous 8 GB of Flip4.

Both Chinese devices are produced not only in a single color, but also in a single variety - permanent memory is always 512 GB (international devices have several versions - from 256 GB to 1 TB for Fold4, from 128 to 512 GB in Flip4).

Well, about money. For Samsung W23 you will have to shell out ¥15999 (₽134000, $2190), and for Samsung W23 Flip a relatively modest ¥9999 (₽83700, $1370).

For comparison, in Russia Fold4 "in white stores" costs ₽140,000 ($2290) (this is for comparable 12+512 GB). Flip4 8+512 GB on sale something not �Wait. And the 8+256 GB version can be bought for ₽75000 ($1230).
