For years, there have been rumors of Samsung's plans to launch cheaper foldable phones. But that hasn't happened yet. Next year, though, we could finally see the fruits of Samsung's efforts to make foldable phones cheaper, as the Galaxy Z Flip FE is rumored to launch in 2025.
Galaxy Z Flip FE will reportedly launch in 2025
According to industry insider Ross Young, Samsung is planning to launch the Galaxy Z Flip FE in 2025. Apparently, the phone will use the same display as the Galaxy Z Flip 7. However, the South Korean firm could cut costs by using inferior cameras and a lower-end/older chipset.
Ross Young also revealed that Samsung isn't working on a cheaper version of the Galaxy Z Fold yet. So, it appears that Samsung is only planning to launch a cheaper version of its clamshell-style foldable smartphone.
The Exynos 2400 or the Exynos 2400e could be a good chip for the Galaxy Z Flip FE, but it will be more than a year older by the time the phone gets launched. So, it is also possible that the company will use the Exynos 2500 chip for the Galaxy Z Flip FE. Some reports have already claimed that will happen.

Since the Galaxy Z Flip 6 already lacks a telephoto camera, the Galaxy Z Flip FE could use the Galaxy Z Flip 6's camera while giving the Galaxy Z Flip 7 a camera upgrade.
Yesterday, the company unveiled a thinner telephoto camera module that offers 3x zoom in a thinner profile. Will we see it on the Galaxy Z Flip 7? Nothing can be said for sure until the second quarter of next year.
