Samsung recently launched a special edition version of its Galaxy Z Fold 6 smartphone. Now, the company is reportedly planning to launch an affordable version of the smartphone. Unlike the special edition smartphone, which was priced higher than the standard model and was available in select markets, the affordable variant of the smartphone will come with toned-down internals to reduce costs. Here are all the details about the alleged Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE.

According to a recent post on South Korean blogging platform Naver, tipster @yeux1122 has suggested that Samsung is working on a more affordable variant of the Galaxy Z Flip series, which is expected to be launched in 2025. While the exact launch date is uncertain, the tipster mentioned a simultaneous release, indicating that it could launch alongside the next-generation foldables - Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 - later in the year.
This decision follows an announcement made by Samsung during its Q3 2024 Earnings call, where they revealed exploring ways to lower entry barriers, aiming to make products more accessible to a wider audience. This statement hints at the possible introduction of more budget-friendly versions of both the Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Z Fold series.
Additionally, the tipster indicated that Samsung could introduce two more devices next year: the Galaxy S25 Slim and another model in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 series. The Galaxy S25 Slim is planned to be released before and after April 2025, while the additional Fold model is also expected to launch simultaneously, potentially bringing the total number of new foldable smartphones next year to four.
