Samsung is supposedly going to launch a "Special Edition" version of the Galaxy Z Fold6 as soon as next week. This thinner version of the book-style foldable has been rumoured for a while. But we haven't heard any launch details until now. Financial News, a South Korean publication, reports that the Galaxy Z Fold6 will launch on October 25.

The report reiterates this version will have a thinner 10.6mm profile and larger 6.5-inch and 8-inch displays. A recent device leak showed a new camera module, a gold accent on the frame, and a "brushed" design finish on the back. If it does launch though, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition might not be available outside of China.

If you read digital graphic novels and want an e-reader, you'd want to pay attention to Amazon's new Kindle. The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft is the brand's first full-colour e-ink tablet. It is launching in the US on October 30 for US$280 (around CA$387). Based on Amazon's site, it doesn't look like it's coming to Canada just yet.

But if you want to pick one up in the US, the Kindle ColorSoft comes with a 7-inch screen with up to eight weeks of battery life on a single, full charge. Its front light will automatically adjust to your surroundings and its high-contrast screen comes with built-in anti-glare to make it easier to read in different environments.

Rumoured Apple Macbook Pro M4 laptops went on sale online in Russia

In what can be considered the biggest Apple leak since the iPhone 4 landed in the hands of Gizmodo, Apple's yet-to-be-unveiled M4-powered MacBook Pro was recently spotted for sale on a Russian classified ads website. The computer, which Apple will supposedly unveil later this month, showed up on Avito (Russia's Craiglist) with an asking price of 720,000 rubles (around CA$10,264). The listings have since been taken down for violating the site's policy on selling "nonexistent products."

In the same week, two Russian YouTubers shared an unboxing of the alleged laptop, which showed three Thunderbolt 4 ports and a baseline configuration of 16GB of RAM. What's more curious is how these devices made their way to Russia, given the strict sanctions the US has imposed on the country. MacRumors speculates that a batch of laptops made in China was somehow intercepted and smuggled into Russia. It's doubtful we'll get official statements on these leaked models, and it's unclear if they are the real thing. But it does remind us that new MacBook Pros are coming real soon.
