It is claimed that Samsung will bring a budget-friendly model to the Galaxy Z Flip series next year. Recently, after brands such as Motorola and Nubia launched more budget-friendly foldable phones, users began to abandon the habit of allocating higher budgets for foldable phones. This is exactly why Samsung wants to join this trend and launch a more affordable foldable model.
According to South Korean blogger yeux1122, Samsung may launch its budget-friendly foldable phone called Galaxy Z Flip FE in 2025. Although an official release date has not been announced yet, it is thought that the new budget-friendly model will be introduced in the same period as the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
What are the features of the budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip FE?
Although there is no definitive information about the technical features of the new model, Galaxy Z Flip FE is expected to sacrifice some hardware features. For example, the new model is likely to come with an older flagship processor, have 128 GB of basic storage instead of 256 GB, and offer a lower camera unit compared to existing models.
It was a known fact that Samsung was looking to change its strategy in the foldable phone market due to the low pre-order numbers of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 models. According to ZDNet Korea’s report, the company’s sales targets this year have fallen below previous expectations. Likewise, Samsung officials stated in the last earnings call that they were investigating ways to lower price barriers in order to bring the experience of foldable phones to more users.
How much will the budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip FE cost?
There is no clear information about the price of the Galaxy Z Flip FE model for now, but if it is aimed to compete among budget-friendly models, it would not be a surprise if Samsung is positioned at a similar price level, considering the $ 699 launch price of Motorola’s Razr 2024 model.
