The rumor was posted on Naver (Korean) by Lanzuk, who states Samsung could be developing a "Galaxy Z Flip FE" for 2025 (via 9to5Google ). This device seems to be an addition to what we expect next year: the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Although, early on, it's unclear how/when the Korean OEM will launch the (supposed) cheaper clamshell.

We've seen a few mid-range Flip phones in recent times, but it looks like Samsung could reveal a Galaxy Z Flip FE next year.

For example, the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S24 FE launched with a slightly slower processor and lower-resolution camera system than the standard Samsung Galaxy S24, at a price of $649 / £649 / AU$1,099 – a solid offer considering the $799 / £799 / AU$1,399 price tag of the latter model.

Samsung is reportedly planning to launch a more affordable Galaxy Z Flip FE next year. The new Galaxy Z Flip FE model might be released alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Samsung aims to bring the foldable phone experience to a more affordable price point due to competitors in the market.

Samsung is apparently aiming to release a more affordable Galaxy Z Flip FE next year. The company could announce the new variant alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7, scheduled for 2025. Samsung hopes to bring the foldable phone experience to a more modest price point in response to industry competition.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is still expensive for some and it would make sense if a more affordable version will be available to this market.

While the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is already the company's cheapest foldable phone, an FE that pairs back some features to decrease the price could attract a whole new audience to the foldable space. Or it could flop. The only way to find out is for Samsung to release the phone and go head-to-head with the cheaper Moto Razr.

Samsung may debut a more affordable Galaxy Z Flip FE alongside the Galaxy S25 Slim in April, aiming to broaden foldable access.
