Is a Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE or Galaxy Z Flip 6 FE in the pipeline?
This is (probably) the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Then again, the Z Flip 5 has been temporarily discounted to $800 just a couple of months after its commercial debut… and again on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. That would make a $700 or $800 Galaxy Z Flip 6 FE feel kind of redundant and really not-that-special, so perhaps Samsung is considering an ultra-affordable Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE after all.
Wait, what was that about the “flagship” cameras?
This is (most likely) the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Everything else about this mystery budget-friendly foldable is likely to be downgraded, mind you, which is… hardly surprising given that rumored starting price of “less than $800.”
If Samsung is truly attempting to make a lower-end Z Fold-style handset with such a lower price point than the premium Fold 5 happen, you should probably expect major compromises in the aforementioned processor, display, and battery departments.
We might be talking about a mid-range Exynos chip, reduced screen real estate both on the inside and the outside of the fold, and reduced battery capacity to go with everything else. Those are mere guesses on our part, of course, and we still don’t see how Samsung could go from $1,800 to “less than $800” even if all of that materializes. But let’s just say we’re cautiously excited about the way this story will develop in the next few months.
