One of the reasons Samsung canceled the Note series was because it wanted to focus more on its foldable devices. However, at the moment, the company is focusing on high-end foldable phones that only a few people can buy, so the prices of these devices are quite high.
However, the Korean company may start to make the product category truly accessible by launching foldable phones in the mid-range price segment in the future. According to leaker @chunvn8888 on Twitter, Samsung plans to produce a foldable phone that will be part of the Galaxy A series, which includes both mid-range and more affordable devices.
Samsung’s plan to introduce a foldable phone as part of the Galaxy A series seems to be in its very early stages. @chunvn8888 says Roh Tae-moon, head of Samsung’s mobile division, doesn’t know when the company will start working on the project. But Samsung is expected to launch such a phone in 2024 or a year later.
Another unknown issue is what kind of foldable phone this phone will be. There is no clarity on whether it will be a clamshell foldable phone or a Z Fold-style phone. However, considering that clamshell foldables are slightly cheaper to manufacture, this rumored Galaxy A-series foldable phone may resemble the Galaxy Z Flip series. However, as always, it is worth remembering that there is no official information on this subject and it is just rumors and speculations yet.
South Korean tech giant is among the allegations that it will potentially launch the Galaxy A series foldable phone, as well as a new chipset different from Exynos to power future Galaxy S series phones. The first Galaxy S series phone to use the chipset will likely be the Galaxy S25.
