While it was initially expected that Samsung would wait to release the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, new leaks indicate that Samsung is now almost certainly planning on releasing it alongside its two other premium foldable.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is going to be the first “Fan Edition” foldable we’ve seen so far, and Samsung is seven generations in. The fan editions generally take some of the best parts of Samsung’s phones and cut small corners, leaving users with a flagship-adjacent experience.
Earlier in the year, it was thought that Samsung may end up waiting a few months to release the FE version of the Z Flip 7. The delay could have come down to many things, but the main concern was that Samsung wouldn’t be able to ready the Exynos 2500 in time.
Since then, the launch time for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE has been mostly up in the air.
A new post from @PandaFlashPro on Twitter/X notes that Samsung is apparently ready to release the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. The post quotes an unknown source, stating “100% it’s confirmed.”
The post also mentions that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will be available globally, quelling any rumors that the phone will only be available in a few regions. With that, the FE model will launch wherever the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 do, offering up a compelling alternative to the more expensive models.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 was tipped to come with a full-cover display, unlike previous generations. The new display leaves a huge differentiating factor between it and another version, which is where the Z Flip 7 FE should shine. A smaller cover display will be present on the FE model, but it should offer up much the same experience with minor cost-cutting factors.
All three devices are now set to launch on July 9 during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The Z Flip 7 FE is rumored to come in at $750.
Samsung has reservations open now for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 series, with a $50 credit when you pre-order and a free entry for a chance to win $5,000. Reservations are free, and there’s no obligation to actually buy a device if you sign up, but there’s no other time you can get that $50 credit.
