News and rumors point to the possibility of the introduction of the budget foldable phone Galaxy Z Flip FE by Samsung in 2025. How true are these rumors?
It seems that nothing is left until the unveiling of the cheap version of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip folding phones; Because this Korean company has decided to release a cheaper model under the name of Galaxy Z Flip FE in the near future by reducing some production costs of this foldable phone.
Why has Samsung decided to release the Galaxy Z Flip FE?
Samsung is one of the first major phone manufacturers to welcome folding products and by the way, it also launched some of the best folding products in the past years. However, over time, creativity and innovation were removed from the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip product series, and these phones lagged behind strong competitors such as Pixel 9 Pro Fold or OnePlus Open.
On the other hand, the much higher price of Samsung’s foldable phones compared to similar products such as the Nubia Flip 5G made the general trend towards them a bit slower than expected.
However, as Ross YoungThe leaker and prominent analyst of the X network announced that Samsung plans to soon launch a cheaper version of the popular folding phone Galaxy Z Flip under the name Galaxy Z Flip FE in order to have a closer competition with Chinese products.
In this regard, another well-known whistleblower in the Android field has also reported that the unveiling of Galaxy Z Flip FE will probably coincide with the introduction of Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 in the summer of 2025. At the same time, there is no information in this regard and everything about the Z Flip FE is speculative.
How does Samsung plan to reduce the cost of making its foldable flagship?
There is no doubt that the high price is one of the most important reasons why users are not attracted to Samsung foldable phones. Therefore, the introduction of the cheap version of the flagships of this company is a very logical move by this Korean giant to maintain the competitive value of its products. In this regard, it is not bad to know that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with a price of slightly more than 1000 dollars is almost twice as expensive as the Nubia Flip 5G.
However, what is Samsung’s solution to reduce the price of the Galaxy Z Flip flagship phone?
One of the most important ways for Samsung to reduce the cost of making its new flagship will be the use of the Exynos 2400 chip (the chipset used in the Galaxy S24 series except the Ultra), which can greatly reduce the final price of this phone. The rumor of the use of this chip in the Galaxy Z Flip FE is heard while some whistleblowers also believe that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will similarly use the Exynos 2500 chip and will have a lower price than expected.
Other factors affecting the price of Samsung’s flagship foldable phone have not yet been announced and are not known in any way. However, we have to wait and see what additional news will provide us with this information. Will Samsung be able to reduce the price of the Galaxy Z Flip series to the extent that it can compete with the Chinese products or not?
