Samsung has made the Galaxy Z Flip series, which scored high benchmarks. However, as competition heats up with brands like Motorola and Oppo offering foldable at lower prices, Samsung is reportedly gearing up to launch a more affordable option, the Galaxy Z Flip FE.
A Strategy to Stay Ahead
The Galaxy Z Flip FE (Fan Edition) will be released alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 sometime in mid-2025. Samsung is including the budget-friendly foldable to expand the market for its innovative flip-style phones while still delivering high-quality devices.
Flagship Level Display Technology
The Galaxy Z Flip FE might have one standout feature display. Ross Young of Display Analyst says the device will feature a similar 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen on the premium Galaxy Z Flip 6.
This display is rumored to support:
- Sharp visuals in a 1080 x 2640 resolution.
- Support for the variable 120Hz refresh rate and satisfactory performance for smooth scrolling and responsiveness.
- Vibrant colors and contrast HDR10+ playback.
- A peak brightness of 2600 nits guarantees excellent visibility in bright sun.
Balancing Cost and Features
Samsung may have to sacrifice some features to keep the price point palatable. The main display could be more prominent than its flagship model, while the cover screen could be reduced to differentiate the Z Flip FE from the Z Flip 6.
Other expected features include:
- 12GB RAM to multitask hands-free.
- 256GB of internal storage is enough to hold apps, media, and files.
- Enable Galaxy AI features support that improves the phone’s usability and personalization.

The Galaxy Z Flip FE is said to come with the same chipset as the Galaxy S24 FE for an improved balance between performance and cost efficiency. Details of the processor are not confirmed yet, but this would make Samsung’s production more streamlined and deliver a good user experience.
What to Expect Moving Forward
The Galaxy Z Flip FE may become a key piece of the foldable phone evolution that suits the mainstream. Samsung appears intent on hanging on to a first-place lead in this competitive segment, with leaks pointing towards flagship-level display quality and good specs.
If Samsung delivers on the rumored features and price point, the Galaxy Z Flip FE could pull a new wave of foldable phone fans in, and innovation does not always have to come with a price to match. Expect more updates as the details continue to leak up to its launch.
