The Galaxy W27 is in collaboration with China Telecom, and it has a subscription service that\u2019s for its Tiantong satellite system. Beyond that, there\u2019s no additional hardware or features when compared to a regular Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"_figure_wioo3_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_1sb7q_1\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy W27\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/1703aad4c2a2142b29b183cbc666499a89d26d2c811e031c97ea391b24985f82?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/1703aad4c2a2142b29b183cbc666499a89d26d2c811e031c97ea391b24985f82?w=530&amp;q=85 530w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/1703aad4c2a2142b29b183cbc666499a89d26d2c811e031c97ea391b24985f82?w=660&amp;q=85 660w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/1703aad4c2a2142b29b183cbc666499a89d26d2c811e031c97ea391b24985f82?w=1320&amp;q=85 1320w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/1703aad4c2a2142b29b183cbc666499a89d26d2c811e031c97ea391b24985f82?w=1980&amp;q=85 1980w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/1703aad4c2a2142b29b183cbc666499a89d26d2c811e031c97ea391b24985f82?w=660&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:2400px 1600px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_wioo3_158\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_wioo3_165\">Samsung Galaxy W27 in Jixia Red<\/p>\n<p>Image: Samsung China<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Its most visible difference, however, is that the phone looks like it was designed by a Chinese KTV owner. The finish comes with a choice two colourways (Jixia Red, Jihu Blue) that seems heavily inspired by a bottle of Martell Cordon Bleu cognac, and it\u2019s accentuated by bright, yellow-gold trimmings around the hinges, sides, and rear camera housing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The phone retails at CNY18,999 (~S$3,660.37) and CNY21,999 (~S$4,238.36) for its 512GB and 1TB storage options, respectively. Both have 16GB of RAM as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: Samsung (China), GSMArena<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/mobile\/smartphones\/samsung-galaxy-w27-z-fold8-ultra-china-only-launch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><br \/>\n<center><script>\n  atOptions = {\n    'key' : 'ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540',\n    'format' : 'iframe',\n    'height' : 90,\n    'width' : 728,\n    'params' : {}\n  };\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.highrevenueformat.com\/ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540\/invoke.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It looks like the China-only foldable phone by Samsung is now available&#8230; and we must say it\u2019s quite hard to miss it.
