Samsung is gearing up to expand its foldable lineup in 2025 with the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip7 and a new, more affordable option—the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. This marks the first time Samsung is introducing a Fan Edition (FE) model for its iconic flip phone series, signaling a strategic push to make foldable devices more accessible to the masses.
What We Know About the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE
The Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is expected to retain the signature folding display of the standard Flip7 but will come with a few compromises to achieve a lower price point:
- Display: Likely identical to the Flip7, ensuring the same premium folding experience.
- Cameras: A downgrade to lower-end camera sensors is anticipated.
- Processor: Rumored to feature the Exynos 2400 SoC, the same chipset powering some Galaxy S24 models in select regions.
The success of the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE will largely depend on its pricing. Analysts suggest that a price difference of only $100-$200 compared to the Flip7 may not be enough to sway buyers. However, if Samsung significantly undercuts the standard Flip7’s price, the FE model could inject much-needed momentum into the foldable market, boosting adoption rates.
This information comes from Ross Young, a well-known and reliable source in the display supply chain industry. Earlier rumors this month also hinted at the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE being in development, adding further credibility to the speculation.
