Samsung brought the Galaxy Z Fold SE to China yesterday, where the phone is called Samsung W25. The phone is already in the hands of reviewers and leaksters, and one of them shared a live video of the foldable panel and its crease.
We can see it is barely visible when the screen is turned on, and the user has to turn the device off and really try hard to visualize the grooves of the panel. See for yourself in the embedded video from X below:

In a separate video, the phone was also compared to the Oppo Find N3. We can see how the screen creases on top of the Flexion Hinge, implemented by Oppo and also the OnePlus Open.
Here’s how the W25 looks next to the Find N3/Open:

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is highly unlikely to ever make it outside South Korea and China. We can only hope the two rumored Fold7 devices will go global next year, though.
