  • More details emerge about Samsung first ‘fan edition’ foldable phone

    A recent report from Korea, via SamMobile, has revealed several new theories regarding the long-rumored Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Samsung may begin production of this phone, which will be its first “fan edition” foldable, as early as next month.

    According to the report, Samsung plans to produce up to 170,000 units of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, compared to 240,000 units for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7. These production numbers suggest that Samsung expects the standard Flip 7 to outsell the FE variant, keeping it as the company’s top-selling foldable device.

    There has been considerable speculation about Samsung potentially using the Exynos 2500 chip in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 series, indicating that the company is seriously considering adopting it exclusively. This decision could have significant implications for Samsung’s future chip development, particularly regarding the prospects of the 2nm Exynos 2600 SoC.

    The Galaxy Z Flip 6 currently uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. Samsung has never produced a foldable phone using one of its Exynos-branded chips.

    Recent rumors indicate that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE may come with 8GB of RAM, which is less than the 12GB found in the flagship Flip 7 model. The Z Flip 7 FE is likely to feature the same camera system as the Flip 5 from 2023, including a 12MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 10MP selfie camera. However, some sources suggest it might include a 50MP primary sensor paired with a 12MP ultrawide, though these details have not been fully confirmed.

    Additionally, the Z Flip 7 FE is expected to have a 3.4-inch cover screen, slightly smaller than the 3.6-inch display on the flagship Galaxy Z Flip 7. The inner foldable display is anticipated to be a 6.7-inch panel.

    The Z Flip 7 FE is projected to be priced around $200–$300 less than the flagship Flip 7, likely launching between $799 and $899. This would make it one of the most affordable foldable smartphones in Samsung’s lineup. Some sources suggest that the Flip FE will essentially be a Flip 5 with an updated system-on-chip (SoC).

    Overall, the Z Flip 7 FE appears to be Samsung’s effort to provide a more budget-friendly foldable option while still preserving the core flip design that has made the series popular.

  • Samsung’s hyped budget foldable phone finally shows its face

    Samsung, it seems, is ready to open its budget foldable phone innings under the “Fan Edition” banner later this year. So far, we’ve only heard murmurs of a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE being in development, but we finally may have our first purported look at the real thing.

    The folks over at SammyGuru (with leakster OnLeaks) have shared what they claim to be CAD-based renders of the upcoming phone, alongside a video depicting it from all angles. From the looks, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will likely duplicate the vanilla Galaxy Z Flip 6’s design language.

    Staying close to home

    As per the latest leak, the affordable foldable offering will reportedly offer a 3.4-inch cover display and a 6.7-inch inner foldable panel. The only major difference is that the FE trim could be slightly narrower, but a tad thicker (7.4mm vs 6.9mm) than the Galaxy Z Flip 6.

    Samsung is said to embrace an armor aluminum build for the phone, and will serve seven Android OS upgrades. It is rumored to make its debut at the next Unpacked event, where the company is also expected the launch the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and its Flip sibling, rocking a refined design language.

    Samsung is touted to equip its budget-focused foldable phone with the Exynos 2400e silicon, a slightly watered-down version of the Exynos 2400 silicon. Based on the 4nm process node, the only major performance difference between the two is a slightly slower Cortex-X4 Prime core.

    Samsung has already served it inside the Galaxy S24. FE, and it performed reliably in our tests. For the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Fold 7, the Korean electronics giant will likely embrace Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Elite silicon.

    The biggest mystery

    Unfortunately, details about the phone’s pricing are still a mystery, but if one were to take an educated guess, it shouldn’t cost more than a thousand dollars. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE could finally allow Samsung to reach more foldable phone enthusiasts with a lower asking price.

    At the moment, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is currently listed at $1,100 in the US. On the other hand, Motorola’s Razr 50 starts at just $700 in the US. Even the more powerful Ultra variant is $100 cheaper than Samsung’s offering.

    Chinese smartphone brands follow an even more competitive price strategy. The Nubia Flip, for example, costs merely $500, and similar is the asking price for BlackView’s clamshell-style foldable phone. It would be interesting to see how far down Samsung can go, and whether it can one-up Motorola.
