Samsung has been rumored for quite some time to introduce a more budget-friendly option in its Z-series lineup, and it’s highly unlikely that this new device will take the form of a Z Fold-style foldable. Recent speculation indicates that Samsung is planning to release a Z Flip FE, which could make its debut alongside the anticipated Galaxy S25 Slim in April.
While the latest reports do not provide specific details about the specifications or pricing of the upcoming Z Flip FE, they do suggest that its launch will coincide with that of the Galaxy Z Fold7. Historically, Samsung tends to unveil both its Fold and Flip devices together, so it’s reasonable to expect the Z Flip7 to be part of the announcement as well.
Next year, Samsung is rumored to be launching two new Fold devices. However, it remains uncertain whether either will be categorized under the more affordable FE label. A more probable scenario is the introduction of a standard Galaxy Z Fold7 as a successor to the Z Fold6, alongside a new variant designated as the Z Fold Special Edition.
As Samsung continues to expand its foldable smartphone lineup, the introduction of a more accessible Z Flip FE could cater to consumers seeking premium features at a lower price point. This strategy aligns with the increasing demand for affordable foldable devices in the market. As the launch date approaches, further details about the features, specifications, and pricing of the Z Flip FE and Z Fold7 are likely to emerge, providing consumers with a clearer picture of what to expect from Samsung’s innovative offerings in 2024.
