Samsung's foldable phones have been a marvel of technology, but their high price tags have kept them out of reach for many consumers. However, there's good news for budget-conscious foldable fans! Rumors suggest that Samsung might be developing more affordable foldable phones called the Galaxy Z Fold FE and Galaxy Z Flip FE.

Tipster Kro on X (formerly Twitter) leaked some key specifications of these upcoming devices. It's important to remember that Samsung hasn't confirmed these phones yet, so take this information with a grain of salt.

  • Processor: Both the Fold FE and Flip FE are rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip, which is also found in phones like the Realme 12 Pro+ and Redmi Note 13 Pro. The Fold FE might also have an option with Samsung's Exynos SoC, possibly the Exynos 2200, in some markets.
  • RAM and Storage: The Galaxy Z Fold FE could come in variants with 12GB or 16GB of RAM, while the Flip FE might have 8GB or 12GB options. Both phones are expected to be available in 256GB and 512GB storage configurations.
  • Dimensions: When folded, the Z Fold FE is said to measure 155.1 x 67.1 x 14.2–15.8mm, and unfolded it would be 155.1 x 130.1 x 6.3mm. The Z Flip FE would be 84.9 x 71.9 x 15.9–17.1mm folded and 165.2 x 71.9 x 6.9mm unfolded.

Availability:

There's no official word on when (or even if) these phones will be released. Samsung usually unveils its flagship foldable phones around mid-July, and rumors suggest the FE models could launch sometime between September and October.

A More Affordable Foldable Future?

The arrival of the Z Fold FE and Z Flip FE would be a significant development in the foldable phone market. By offering these devices at a lower price point, Samsung could potentially make foldable technology more accessible to a wider audience. This could lead to increased adoption and further innovation in the foldable phone space.

Of course, these are just leaks for now. We'll have to wait for an official announcement from Samsung to know for sure if the Galaxy Z Fold FE and Z Flip FE are coming and, if so, what their exact features and pricing will be.
