There have been speculations that Samsung is considering releasing a cheaper Galaxy Z Flip as a Fan Edition model. Although not much is known about this potential mid-range foldable, a recent report might have uncovered the chip that will power it.

If you've been waiting for a cheaper model before trying a flip phone, it looks like Samsung could finally grant your wish in 2025.

New information claims that the rumored Galaxy Z Flip FE could end up having the same processor as the Galaxy S24.

For the unversed, Samsung’s Galaxy FE devices are known for offering toned-down specifications and features at a more affordable price compared to their flagship counterparts. The Z Flip FE would allow Samsung to compete in the budget-friendly clamshell foldable market.

New tipoffs suggest the rumored cheaper Samsung Galaxy Z Flip model could come equipped with the company’s own Exynos 2400 chipset, the same as some Galaxy S24 models.
