Every year, Samsung offers new features for its foldable smartphones, while improving durability. However, it is possible that the manufacturer will now be forced to offer more affordable products to maintain its growth in this segment. And precisely, it is rumored that the manufacturer could offer an affordable version of its Galaxy Z Flip in 2025.

Korean sources had already mentioned the development of a model called the Galaxy Z Flip FE. And this week, this model is back in the news, following a publication by the website smartpix.com, which indicates that it has found references in the GSMA database (the association of telecommunications players). In response to this article, the famous analyst Ross Young (a source who is regularly quoted by the media), published a response. This suggests that the Galaxy Z Flip FE could use the same screen as the Galaxy Z Flip 6, released this year. In other words, Samsung could therefore reduce the manufacturing costs of this device by using 2024 technology on a 2025 smartphone.

Unfortunately, we still have few details. But another source, in November, had also indicated that the Galaxy Z Flip FE could also use a less powerful processor than that of the future Galaxy Z Flip 7.

A more affordable price against concessions on the technical sheet

For the moment, caution is advised, since all this information does not come from an official source. However, it would be logical for Samsung to finally decide to offer an affordable version of its folding clamshell smartphone, since it is facing increasingly tough competition from Chinese brands.

As a reminder, Samsung's “FE” or “Fan Edition” smartphones are high-end devices, but on which the manufacturer makes some concessions in order to lower costs. For the moment, we have no information on the price at which the Galaxy Z Flip FE could be marketed. But, for information, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 was sold at 1,119 euros at its launch.
