Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7 lineup may be taking an interesting turn, with a new report from GalaxyClub hinting at not one, but two distinct versions of the upcoming foldable. Sources familiar with Samsung’s plans have identified three codenames for its 2024 foldable lineup: “B7” for the Galaxy Z Flip7, “Q7” for the Galaxy Z Fold7, and a mysterious “Q7M” model that could shake up Samsung’s foldable strategy.
Two Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Models Coming Next Year?
The “Q7” codename aligns with expectations for the Galaxy Z Fold series, but the addition of “M” has sparked speculation. For instance, the Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition launched in South Korea carries the codename “Q6A,” where “A” identifies it as a Special Edition. If the “Q7M” were a similar edition, we would expect it to follow suit with “Q7A.”
One possible explanation is that the Q7M could mark Samsung’s venture into a budget-friendly foldable, a move that has been hinted at by industry insiders for over a year. Samsung has been exploring ways to make its foldable devices more accessible, and an affordable Fold variant could be the next logical step. For now, details are scarce, but we’re excited to see if Samsung will indeed bring a more economical option to its flagship foldable family.
Pokdepinion: I originally thought the more affordable variant to pop up this year but since it didn’t, next year would be very likely for it to happen. As for how much more affordable it will be, that will be hard to say for now but using the Flip model’s general pricing might be a good start.
