SK Telecom announced on July 3 that it will exclusively launch the 5G smartphone "Galaxy Wide9," priced in the 400,000 won range, starting July 3 through its official online store, T Direct Shop, and offline T World stores.

The Galaxy Wide9 is based on the M16 and features a large 5,000mAh battery, up to 25W fast charging, a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display, a 50-megapixel camera, and optical image stabilization.

The Galaxy Wide9 comes pre-installed with the ZEM app, which promotes healthy smartphone usage habits, making it suitable as a children's phone.

The Galaxy Wide series is an SK Telecom exclusive device line that debuted in 2016 and remains a popular and representative mid-range lineup to this day.

Customers who purchase the Galaxy Wide9 through T Direct Shop will also receive T Gift benefits, such as a Daiso gift certificate worth 30,000 won and a Lumena desktop wireless fan.

Myungwon Yoon, Head of Channel & Device at SK Telecom, stated, "The Galaxy Wide series has been a proven value-for-money lineup that has consistently received positive feedback from customers over the past ten years. We will continue to expand our customers' options by launching a variety of devices with well-rounded specifications at reasonable prices."
